#Movies By Squid Game Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk You Should Watch

In this 17th century historical drama, King Injo and his retainers seek refuge in a fortress in Namhansanseong as the Qing dynasty forces from China invade Korea. The king’s advisers are in a constant debate as to what course the king should take, but time is limited as his people struggle, suffer, and die while seeking protection in the fortress. Lee Byung-hun plays the Korean Joseon politician and Neo-Confucian scholar Choi Myung-kil in what is arguably his greatest performance. Byung-hun has since successfully transitioned to Hollywood pictures, showing up in “Squid Game” as well as portraying Storm Shadow in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” and its sequel “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” as well as becoming the first South Korean actor to present an Oscar and (alongside Ahn Sung-ki) one of the first South Korean actors to imprint their hand and footprints on the forecourt of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Dong-hyuk successfully made a historical war epic, proving there’s no limit to his talent.
