Making the first season of Squid Game cost its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, nine of his teeth. If you’re among the quarter of a billion viewers who watched the ultra-violent Netflix series, you might fantasise about how this happened. Was his head locked by studio execs in a ghastly contraption, a single tooth pulled for each day the script was late? Or his mouthwash swapped for corrosive acid when he failed to tie up plot strands? The reality was more pedestrian: Hwang was so busy and stressed that he totally neglected his oral hygiene. After production wrapped in 2020, he got dental implants.
製作《魷魚遊戲》第一季讓其創作者黃東赫(Hwang Dong-hyuk)失去了九顆牙齒。如果你是這部極端暴力的Netflix系列的2.5億觀衆之一，你可能會幻想這是怎麼發生的。他的頭是否被工作室高階主管鎖在一個可怕的裝置中，每天劇本晚交一天就拔一顆牙？或者當他未能解決情節線索時，他的漱口水被換成了腐蝕性酸？現實更爲平淡：黃東赫太忙太緊張，以至於完全忽視了口腔衛生。2020年製作結束後，他接受了牙齒植入手術。
