Free Course: "Quick Start in Python"
Learn MoreIf you were hoping for a break from the memes and videos about the "Squid Game" that have filled social media, you've come to the wrong place. While the director of the South Korean hit ponders the creation of a second season, we decided to speculate on the roles that programming languages such as Python, C, JS, and even 1C could play in the series. Spoilers ahead!
Scala — Ji Yeon (No. 240)
Despite her cute, childish appearance, she possesses wisdom beyond her years. She has the potential to build a large fandom, but she prefers to remain in the shadows, sometimes sacrificing her own interests for the sake of other players. Some consider her strange and are reluctant to engage with her. However, once you get to know her better, you can see what a fascinating conversationalist she is and understand the reasons for her desire for solitude.
Ruby — Ali Abdul (No. 199)
A foreigner who successfully connects with others while demonstrating his childlike naivety and simplicity. Despite his limited talent, he stands out among the other participants. Although in some respects his skills may be inferior to those with greater competence, he has still managed to win the sympathy of a small audience. His unique approach and sincerity make him an interesting character who attracts attention and evokes positive emotions in viewers.
Swift - Kang Se Byuk (#067)
She was considered a strong contender for victory thanks to her exceptional agility, speed, and enigmatic, introverted persona. However, something went wrong. She defected from North Korea to South Korea, but adapting to the new society proved difficult. Despite her model-like looks, she developed a large following. However, at the crucial moment, her love interests couldn't help her resist the other two key players.
JavaScript - Song Ki-hoon (No. 456)
The life and soul of any company. She values loved ones like her mother and daughter, but sometimes struggles to express her deepest emotions. This can lead to conflicting feelings—from intense sympathy to bewilderment and disapproval. Understanding the company's inner world allows for a better understanding of its values and culture, which in turn contributes to the formation of a cohesive team and successful interactions with clients.
He is good at many things, but only up to a point. He has the ability to listen to others and proves himself to be a true team player with a high level of empathy. For a long time, he was not taken seriously, but he has proven that you don't need to be super talented to achieve success. His persistence and ability to work in a team became the key to his victories.
Python - Cho Sang Woo (No. 218)
Mother's friend's son, Song Ki-hoon, is a shining example of an ambitious and talented young man. He is distinguished not only by his attractive appearance but also by his outstanding mental abilities. Unlike his peers from Sang Moon Dong, he became the pride of his neighborhood by graduating from Seoul National University. Song Ki-hoon possesses a unique gift: he calmly and impartially analyzes any situation, finding a way out even in the most hopeless circumstances. His abilities and determination make him an outstanding leader among his peers.
This tool is popular among beginners due to its ability to effectively handle even the most complex tasks, although not always quickly. Experienced users understand that it is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.
C — Oh Il Nam (No. 001)
Zoomers often mock him, considering him unsuitable for modern fashion and style standards. However, this old man is far from as simple as young players think. He successfully copes with numerous challenges, often outperforming his peers and demonstrating excellent results.
He loves to communicate, but due to his slow speech rate and long sentences, not everyone is willing to listen to him. Despite memory problems and his age, he has helped other participants reach higher levels. Newcomers often underestimate him from the very beginning of the series, but experience and old-school wisdom are still valuable.
Brainfuck - Han Mi Nyeo (No. 212)
At first, she evokes interest and sympathy. However, by the middle, it becomes clear that her behavior is perplexing. It seems as if the team that accepted her is experiencing masochism. She persistently strives for leadership, but often proves to be a useless player. Easy to notice, hard to let go, impossible to forget - that's how you can describe her.
1C - Jang Duk Su (No. 101)
A character who values money above all else is not shy about looking into the pockets of his bosses. He is cunning and strong, but has never been able to fit into the circle of major players. The actor who plays this role speaks Russian and prefers Baikal vodka, which has brought him particular popularity in Russia and made him known by the nickname "Russian Undercover."
SQL - Hwang Joon Ho (detective)
Although he doesn't actively participate, his role remains important and secondary. He selflessly helps other participants, even if they don't demonstrate a need for his support. While gathering information about what is happening, he skillfully disguises himself, allowing inattentive viewers not to notice his presence.
Programmer - Game Host
The platform mercilessly exploits all participants for the pleasure of VIP clients. It quickly eliminates players and even its own teammates if they fail to complete tasks or ignore the established rules.
Throughout the final episodes, the viewer may perceive the character as a symbol of senseless cruelty and evil. However, behind the terrifying iron mask lies an ordinary person experiencing their own drama and inner anxieties. This multi-layered image makes you think about the nature of evil and human emotions, opening up new facets of understanding the character.
