Fans of Squid Game’s Park Gyu-young Need to Check Out This K-Drama

Once more, “Squid Game 2” has left fans spellbound, catapulting its fresh actors into limelight, and one such character that has garnered much attention is Guard 11 or Kang No-eul, portrayed by the gifted Park Gyu-young. Although Gyu-young’s character hasn’t yet fully taken the lead in “Squid Game”, the upcoming season seems poised to bring her storyline to a conclusion of some sort.

Until Squid Game 3 arrives, enthusiasts of Guard 11 and Park Gyu-young might want to watch Celebrity in the interim instead. As suggested by its title, this exhilarating K-drama delves into the darker aspects of celebrity and influencer culture with Park Gyu-young playing a pivotal role as Seo A-ri, the series’ leading character.

Squid Game‘s Kang No-Eul Takes the Lead Role in Celebrity

Launched on Netflix in June 2023, the series titled “Celebrity” might provide the same level of excitement that fans of “Squid Game” are seeking while they anticipate the next episode. Notably, recognizable actors such as Park Gyu-young add an extra appeal to it. Initially, its theme appears less enticing with its emphasis on glamour, high fashion, luxury jewelry, and social media. However, the lavishness mirrors the allure of the prize money in “Squid Game“, luring Seo A-ri into this captivating world of celebrity and social media.

The story primarily revolves around Seo A-ri, a woman who sells makeup from door to door and initially shows no interest in celebrities, influencers, or online platforms. However, this perspective shifts when she encounters the extravagant wealth that these figures enjoy, sparking her curiosity. An unexpected encounter with one of these high-profile individuals propels A-ri into the center of this hidden realm, ultimately leading her to create a social media account out of sheer fascination.

Contrary to their polished online personas, these celebrities and influencers harbor dark secrets and deceit, a reality that A-ri learns as she ascends through the ranks of fame. Although this revelation might not initially seem captivating to fans of Squid Game, centered around life-or-death challenges, Celebrity showcases the series’ deeper layers starting from its very first episode. The show engages viewers with an intriguing plot twist: a live stream by A-ri sharing her journey to stardom and exposing those in her inner circle, who are presumed to be dead at the time of broadcast.

Previously known for her numerous appearances in romantic comedies like “Dali & Cocky Prince” and the K-drama version of “A Good Day to Be A Dog,” Park Gu-young’s role in “Celebrity” truly highlights her versatility as an actor. This performance surpasses even what she displayed in “Squid Game.” Interestingly, many had recognized Park Gyu-young from her numerous guest roles throughout the years. However, it’s heartening to see her receiving the recognition she deserves after her outstanding portrayal in “Squid Game.

Celebrity is available to stream on Netflix.
