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?
The only Korean-to-American remake I can think of off-hand is Oldboy. The remake was OK but it was a far cry from being even a shadow of the original.
