Congratulations! You survived the roller coaster of children's death games, actual death, and betrayal, and even had your "I can definitely win these games" moments that Squid Game served on a blood-stained platter. Now, you're here, hungry for more chaos. Don't worry, we listen; we don't judge.

What's the new year without a little horror and exploration of the lengths people would go to make more green notes? So, grab your Dalgona candy and hum your favorite nursery rhymes and let’s dive into five K-dramas that will scratch that Squid Game-shaped itch in your soul.

The Night Has Come

Imagine being forced to play a real-life game of Mafia. The Night Has Come is a series on a group of high school students who go on a school field trip at a serene and secluded retreat center, only to be separated from their teachers and forced to play a real-life Mafia game.

Forget about bonding over boys, girls, and hobbies, instead, you have to vote for one person as the Mafia and if you choose wrongly, you'll pay with your life. It's a gory survival of the smartest where you become your worst enemy to save yourself.

If you miss the weirdness and gore of the squid game, strap on to the Night Has Come and SURVIVE. If Squid Game made you question humanity, The Night Has Come will leave you questioning your own life choices.

Pyramid Game

Who doesn't miss high school? A magical time filled with acne, awkward crushes, and, oh yes, the desire to be one of the popular and cool kids. Now think Mean Girls meets The Hunger Games, but with 100% more Korean flair and 200% more trauma, then you have the absolute thriller and psychological drama, Pyramid Game.

Here, classmates vote on who’s at the bottom of the social food chain aka level F and if you think not getting invited to birthdays hurts, imagine being subjected to extreme bullying all day by the Elite A, who can compel anyone to join them in this social hazing. And guess what, you can't tell anyone, or else you'll receive an even worse punishment as horrible as stripping on the Internet.

It's a drama of games, emotional torture, and a mirror of the power-drunk elites over the less popular lower class who fight back with everything they've got. It's a squid game - high school style and will be sure to make your blood boil. Watch responsibly.

Money Heist Korea

You’ve probably seen the Spanish version, but trust me, this Korean adaptation hits differently. The stakes are higher, the masks are shinier, and the tension? Well, it could cut steel.

If you loved the mind-bending games and moral gray zones in Squid Game, Money Heist: Korea will have you holding your breath, rooting for criminals, and googling "how to organize a heist but don't do it though because it's crazier and scarier than it looks on TV.

The question remains, with trillions at stake, what lines are you ready to cross to get it?

Liar Game

Last but not least is Liar Game, a psychological pie of manipulation, deceit, and “Wait, did I just get scammed?”.

It is about a gullible college student who passes a hidden camera audition for a reality show "Liar Game" where participants must outwit, deceive, and manipulate one another to secure the grand prize of ₩10 billion (approximately US$9.3 million)Sounds familiar doesn't it?

While there's a creepy gold mask in the drama and not one made out of black sparring masks with shapes on it worn by dudes in red overalls, the drama also bothers around debts, manipulation, and the quest for wealth with less blood and giant killer dolls.

If Squid Game made you question your moral compass, Liar Game will grab it, shake it violently, and then laugh maniacally as you question your own ability to read people. Trust issues? This show will give you a lifetime supply.

So, there you have it. These K-dramas will definitely fill the Squid Game-shaped void in your heart or maybe just make it bigger. Each show offers a unique flavor of moral dilemmas, power struggles, and humanity pushed to its limits.

Just don’t forget to hydrate and maybe keep a stress ball handy.
