This was a particularly sudden development for the latter, who played Kang Sae-byeok. While she was a professional model, she had never acted in anything before the series.<\/p>\n
Now, during a Drama Actress Roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Jung has admitted that when watching Squid Game for the first time, she thought she had \u201cf****d up\u201d.<\/p>\n Jung explained: \u201cI thought I totally messed up. My first message to director Hwang after I watched Squid Game was, \u2018I am so sorry. And thank you so much for casting me.\u2019 I\u2019m going to cry. It was so stressful. I was trying to prepare for the bad reactions and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked by Lily James and Christina Ricci, who were also on the roundtable, whether she still feels the same, Jung said \u201cNo. Maybe it was better than I thought.\u201d<\/p>\n Jung has good reason to have changed her mind \u2013 her performance in the series garnered glowing reviews, while the series went on to reach number one on Netflix\u2019s Top 10 list<\/a> in 90 counties within 10 days of its release.<\/p>\n When asked what she has planned next in her career, Jung said: \u201cI\u2019m reading a lot of scripts and just starting to educate myself. Like, do you want to tell people about this woman\u2019s life? Or this woman\u2019s life? And then the other side, I\u2019m thinking, \u2018I just want to try everything so that I can have more of a sense of what I like, what I want to do.’\u201d<\/p> Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is currently hard at work on season 2, although he\u2019s said that he is \u201cstill brainstorming and collecting the ideas for season 2\u201d<\/a> and hasn\u2019t started writing yet \u2013 so fans may have a while to wait.<\/p>\n Squid Game is now available to watch on Netflix.
