Let’s say they remade the entire series but with the cast consisting of Westerners and they’re speaking English (the original one takes place in South Korea with a Korean cast with subtitles), but the thing is that the actual “Squid Game” is a Korean children’s game which is not something that resonates with US culture, so would an actual American remake really succeed or fail?
Given the track record of forgein films remade by the US. I would say it has a very high probability of being terrible
Right? Nearly every movie/series is much better before it gets Americanized. Only exception I can think of at this second is The Office.
Even then, better is debatable. They are two very different types of comedy. I will admit the US office is a more palatable one you can binge watch. The UK office I need to take a break after an episode because I’ll reach dangerously high levels of cringe otherwise
