Why is Squid Game so popular? | October Premieres | My Name | Jirisan | The King's Affection

This month, we're back and labouring under the realisation that when you have a K-drama podcast, you have to watch the biggest global TV sensation in the history of K-dramas! I admit, we are not hating it, but we reserve the right to grumble! We also take a sidestep to talk about whether age affects how we enjoy actors, before jumping into October premieres.
