Let’s say they remade the entire series but with the cast consisting of Westerners and they’re speaking English (the original one takes place in South Korea with a Korean cast with subtitles), but the thing is that the actual “Squid Game” is a Korean children’s game which is not something that resonates with US culture, so would an actual American remake really succeed or fail?

    Right? Nearly every movie/series is much better before it gets Americanized. Only exception I can think of at this second is The Office.

      Even then, better is debatable. They are two very different types of comedy. I will admit the US office is a more palatable one you can binge watch. The UK office I need to take a break after an episode because I’ll reach dangerously high levels of cringe otherwise
