Former lovers and actors Odal-soo (오달수) and Chae Guk-hee (채국희) are attracting attention for their reunion in the Netflix series ‘Squid Game 2 (오징어게임2)’.
In the highly anticipated second season, which premiered on December 26 last year, the duo's appearance has sparked significant buzz.
Odal-soo and Chae Guk-hee first developed a romantic relationship while working together on the 2012 film ‘The Thieves (도둑들)’. They publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2016, sharing that they had been dating for three years at that time. However, after five years together, they announced their breakup in 2018.
In ‘Squid Game 2’, Odal-soo plays Captain Park, who assists detective Hwang Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-joon), while Chae Guk-hee portrays Yonggung Sun-nyeo, a shaman participating in the deadly game.
Meanwhile, ‘Squid Game 2’ follows Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he returns with a vow of revenge to take part in the game again, facing off against the Frontman (played by Lee Byung-hun) in a gripping battle. The series also dives into the real game that begins anew.
After its release on the 26th of last month, it garnered an impressive 68,000 views within just four days, dominating the global Top 10 non-English series chart. This performance not only showcases its popularity but also marks it as the 7th highest-ranked non-English series in Netflix's history.
