Inspired by Netflix's Squid Game, this thriller unfolds in a secret survival contest where desperate contestants vie for a massive cash prize. In Squid Game, 456 indebted players "risk their lives" in deadly children's games for ₩45.6 billion. Similarly, The Debt of Blood opens after a family dispute: each sister receives a mysterious game invitation, unknowingly accepts a deadly contest. The world-building mirrors Squid Game's iconic tropes: everyone wakes up in identical green tracksuits with personal belongings confiscated, under the watch of masked guards. A Reuters account even notes the series uses "a mysterious invitation card" to lure potential players. In our story, those cryptic cards arrive just after the sisters' fight, setting the stage for the deadly contest ahead.
