then mentioned about her granddaughter who was going to move to USA. His mother
told him that if he wanted to see his daughter again, he has to prove that he
was financial stable and able to take care of his daughter. At night, he
decided to join game. He called the number given and waited for the vehicle to
pick him up.
By the time Seong Gi-Hun woke up, he
found himself in a big dormitory. Everyone wore the same green shirt with a tag

she will be shot dead. Many of the people were panic when they heard the gun
shot and someone had died on the spot. Seong Gi-Hun and Cho Sang-Woo managed to
make it into the end of the game. They were terrified with the rules set for
the games. Someone suggested to terminate the game. The Square man then let the
players to vote whether they still want to continue playing the games or
terminate game. Before he let them vote, he revealed the money that they could
earn for winning the game. In the end of the voting, majority of the player
decided to terminate the game. Therefore, the organizer sent them back to their
original place.
Seong Gi-Hun was happy that he was
back to his normal life. He lodged a police report about the game that kills
human. Due to lack of evidence, the police thought that he was playing a prank
on them. Seong Gi-Hun then went home. He realized that his mother has admitted
to the hospital. The doctor recommended his mother to accept surgery before her
diabetes became worsen. His mother left the hospital as she could not afford to
pay for the hospital. He asked his mother to use the insurance to pay for the
bill. His mother reminded him that he has cancelled all the insurance policy
and spent all that money. Seong Gi-Hun asked his friends and ex-wife for money.
He felt insulted when his ex-wife husband tried to ban him from seeing his
daughter with that money. He felt hopeless. He met the old man, Player 001 at
the convenience shop. The old man told him that he decided to join the game as
life far more difficult than in the game.
Hwang Jun-Ho is a policeman. His
brother went missing for a couple of days. When he searched his dormitory, he
found the name card that Seong Gi-Hun had. He went to see him and asked him
about the name card. Seong Gi-Hun refused to tell him anything since the police
did not trust him.
Seong Gi-Hun saw another name card
at his house. If he wanted to restart the game, he has to come to the same
destination to wait for the vehicle to pick them up. Hwang Jun-Ho followed him
all the way to the boat. He sneaked into one of the cars and attacked the 029 Circle
man. He threw the Circle man into the sea and changed into his outfit. He went
to his dormitory and saw there was a CCTV in his room. He hid his face from the
CCTV. He recorded what he saw and did into his handphone. He realized that
everyone has been monitored in there.

to brought her parents from the North to China. She has a brother at the
orphanage home. She used to work with Jang Deok-Soo. Jang Deok-Soo was a thug

As the game restart, everyone became
more cautious and tried to find what the next game is. Kang Sae-Byeok took the
opportunity to went for toilet with Han Mi-Nyeo. She wanted to check out the
next game. She smelt sugar and saw the Circle man melting something. She told Han
Mi-Nyeo what she saw as Han Mi-Nyeo helped her with her plan to find out the
next game. Because Kang Sae-Byeok came from North Korea, she has no idea what
is the next game is. Cho Sang-Woo overheard Kang Sae-Byeok conversation. He
then asked her directly. Cho Sang-Woo thought about it and saw the shapes on
the wall, umbrella, triangle, square and star. He figured out quickly what the
next game is. He chose the simple one, triangle. However, he did not warn his
teammate about it. In fact, Cho Sang-Woo told Seong Gi-Hun and the gang that
everyone should chose a difference shape as they don’t know what the next game
is. Seong Gi-Hun was terrified when he has
to pick a stamped shape out of the umbrella-dalgona, which is the most difficult one. Seong
Gi-Hun used his saliva to melt the dalgona. There
is a player took a
higher-ranked staff member as hostage before killing himself. As the staff
member is killed, and Jun-ho took the square mask.
At night, the food served was only
soda and egg. Jang Deok-Soo’s team did not have enough food, so they took the
second round, thus the remaining people did not have any food left for them.
One of the players had a fight with Jang Deok-Soo as he stole his food. Jang
Deok-Soo beat him until he died. The red shirt man then take body out of the
dormitory. Cho Sang-Woo told Seong Gi-Hun and other teammate to stay awake as
something might happened at night. Jang Deok-Soo’s team started to attack
others and there is bloodshed everywhere. Luckily, the red shirt man stopped
them and everyone returned to their own place.
Player 111 was a doctor who involved
in illegal human organ tracking with the red shirt man. They conspired with one
another. In return, the red shirt man gave him some tips for the next game.
They suggested Player 111 to find a strong team to win the 3rd game.
Player 111 decided to join Jang Deok-Soo’s team. In exchange, he will tell them what is the
next game. Han Mi-Nyeo wanted to join Jang Deok-Soo as she thought Jang
Deok-Soo can protect her. However, she never knew that Jang Deok-Soo betrayed
her during the 3rd game. She then decided to join Seong Gi-Hun’s
team.
The 3rd game started
shortly. It was a game that required teamwork. Cho Sang-Woo wanted to find
strong man for their team. Seong Gi-Hun let Player 001 to join their team
whereas Kang Sae-Byeok invited Ji-Yeong to join the team. There is still one
spot left for their team and Han Mi-Nyeo just filled up the occupancy. Everyone
did not want Han Mi-Nyeo to join their team because she was the annoying one. 3rd
game was about Tug of War. Seong Gi-Hun and Cho Sang-Woo worried that they
might lose the game since they are the weakest among others team. By using
strategy suggested by Player 001 and Cho Sang-Woo, they managed to beat the
other team.
Seong Gi-Hun afraid that there might
be another fighting at night. He suggested everyone to take turn to stay out at
night as they afraid that Jang Deok-Soo might attack them. Player 111 did not
come back to his dormitory as he was operating the dead body’s organ. The
Triangle man did not know what the next game is, so Player 111 felt that he was
being betrayed by them. He killed one of the Triangle men. Player 111
has been killed because he broke the rule for knowing the next game in advance.
The leader killed him by himself as he wanted to create fairness game for
everyone who struggled to survive in real world. The leader found out that 029
Circle man was gone. They were looking for him everywhere as he was the one who
killed 028 Circle man.
Hwang Jun-Ho found out about the
illegal operation and selling of organ. He also sneaked into the leader’s room
to search for the information. He found out that his brother was the winner of
the game during 2015. He captured those documents and evidences via his
handphone. He tried to call for help, but the phone only for internal use.
The red shirt men came to the
dormitory to check the quantity of the player. Soon after, they started the 4th
game. They have to find a partner to play the game. They are required to play
with one another. Each of them has 10 marble balls. The winner is those who won
20 marble balls. They are free to play any kind of games with the marble balls.
It was a heartbreaking story to kill someone that is dear to you.
Cho Sang-Woo stole all the marble
balls from Ali. He tricked Ali to find other players with balance marble balls.
Ali was too dumb to trust Cho Sang-Woo whom he thought that he will help him
throughout the game.
Seong Gi-Hun was partnered with
Player 001. Player 001 did not want to play the game and kept escaping from
him. Seong Gi-Hun fooled him to play with him. Although Seong Gi-Hun only left
with 1 marble ball, Player 001 purposely gave him a chance to win the game.
When Seong Gi-Hun gathered all 19 marble balls, Player 001 refused to give him
the only marble ball. They had a long conversation with one another. At last,
Player 001 gave Seong Gi-Hun the last marble ball. Seong Gi-Hun felt sorry for
him.
Kang Sae-Byeok never expect the game
was to kill her partner. She was hesitated to play the game. Ji-Yeong suggested
that both of them have a deep conversation with one another before either one
of them died. Ji-Yeong purposely let Kang Sae-Byeok win the game as she felt
that Kang Sae-Byeok deserved to survive more than her.
There was a husband and wife joined
the game a well. The husband won the game, but he did not feel happy at all. He
asked everyone to vote to end his game because he did not want to play anymore.
However, nobody wanted to end the game. Therefore, he decided to commit
suicide. Soon after, the 5th game has begun.
The VIP arrived at the site to watch
the players to play the game. The players are required to bypass the glasses to
another end. However, there are normal glass and tempered glass. They have to
pick the tempered glass as it can withstand more weight. Many of the players
died as they picked the wrong one. There was a player who used to work in the
glass factory. He can distinguish which glass is a tempered glass. Seong Gi-Hun
asked him why he did not speak up so that he can save more lives. The player
did not want to because other players might want to kill him for the next game.
The leader realized that and closed the light so that the player can’t pick the
tempered glass. Since the time only left a few min left. Cho Sang-Woo then
pushed the player in front for the last glass. Three of them (Cho Sang-Woo, Seong
Gi-Hun and Kang Sae-Byeok) managed passed through the glasses on time. They are
qualified for the finalist.
One of the VIP has been killed. The
leader wanted to catch the intruder. Hwang Jun-Ho managed to escaped by diving.

oxygen tank placed a tracker on it. Hwang Jun-Ho tried to get signal from the
top of the mountain. He asked for help and sent some evidences to his superior.
The leader offered to save his life if he surrendered the phone to him. Hwang
Jun-Ho did not want to. He asked the leader who was he. He took off the mask
and showed him the face. The leader was his brother that he was looking for. Hwang
Jun-Ho shot his brother for trying to kill him. However, the leader also shot
him as he refused to surrender the phone. Hwang Jun-Ho then fall off the cliff
into the sea.
Cho Sang-Woo, Seong Gi-Hun and Kang
Sae-Byeok were offered a delicious meal and changed into a cloth. After the
meal, each of them was given a knife. Kang Sae-Byeok has been badly injured
from the 5th game. She did not look well. Seong Gi-Hun asked her
about her condition. He wanted to join hand with her in order to defeat Cho
Sang-Woo for the final game. Kang Sae-Byeok talked about her family. She wanted
him to promise her that he will take care of her brother at the orphanage home
if she happened to die. Seong Gi-Hun later found out that she bleeds a lot and
asked the red shirt men for help. Cho Sang-Woo then took this opportunity to
kill her.
For
the final game, Cho Sang-Woo
and Seong Gi-Hun fought with one another. Seong Gi-Hun wanted to give up the
game. He begged Cho Sang-Woo to give up too. However, Cho Sang-Woo did not want
to. He decided to kill himself so that Seong Gi-Hun can took the money and take
care of his mother.
By the time he reached home, he
found his mother already passed away at home. He felt guilt and sorry that he
could come back earlier. Although Seong Gi-Hun won the game, he refused to use
the money. The banker even asked him why he did not touch the money. One year
later, Seong Gi-Hun still moved on with the same old life. Player 001 invited
him to his resident. Seong Gi-Hun was shocked to see him. He asked him many
questions. He could not understand why Player 001 started this game. After
answering his questions, Player 001 passed away. He joined that game because he
wanted to have fun before he passed away due to brain tumor.
He went to the orphanage home to see
Kang Sae-Byeok’s brother. He brought her brother and let Cho Sang-Woo’s mother
to take care of him. He also gave the money to Cho Sang-Woo’s mother and saying
that this was the money that he owed him.

planned to visit his daughter at USA. While he was at the MRT station, he saw
the recruiter that used to ask him to join to game. He chased him but he
already fled. The recruiter gave the same name card to the new member. Seong
Gi-Hun stopped him from joining the game. He called up the number and wanted to
join the game again. He wanted to find out who was behind the game. He left the
