    "Is it difficult to draw? Yes a little bit because ... it's all 100% hand painting, not printing," said Salon co-owner Lim Pei Xin. "Every fine line we have to stop breathing." Squid Game earlier this week became Netflix's biggest original series launch, notching up 111 million viewers in less than a month. Image Credit: Reuters

    The dystopian drama, in which cash-strapped contestants play childhood games with deadly consequences in a bid to win 45.6 billion won ($38 million), has inspired countless memes, Halloween costumes and real world recreations. It has also sparked a debate within South Korea about toxic competitive societies and prompted new interest in the country's culture and language around the world. Image Credit: Reuters
