Just finished season 3.

I thought it would’ve been really interesting if  Gi-Hun had ran into the stepfather to his daughter in the second game. There were so much set up for it too. That would’ve been easy to implement and create a much more interesting story arc than Gi-Huns revenge kill in the hide and seek game.

it actually would’ve started with the end of season one when Gi-Hun is about to get on the plane and is talking on the phone. They could’ve had him having a discussion with his daughter talking about how convenient it is that he’s coming to America to visit, at the same time that her stepfather is going on a business trip back to Korea.

From there, there’s been no mention of him again until after Gi-Hun run into him in the game. 

During the course of the games more and more details are slowly trickled out about how he accrued massive debt in their relocation to America after trying to keep up appearances with their Los Angeles native neighbors. And in an extra effort to prove to his new wife that he wasn’t a loser like her last husband.

While trying to seal as a shady deal back in Korea to get some quick, Cash ends up meeting the recruiter for the games and get roped into the second squid game.

Just like all the other characters, we would start to see a dark turn in him as the games continue on andare given a reason for him to become someone that is beyond redemption. 

Gi-Hun wins the 2nd game, finally takes that trip to LA to see his daughter, now as a success with plenty of money after winning twice and with the Korean squid game destroyed he thinks it's over.

We're left with a cliff hanger showing the American woman recruiting the homeless guy down the street from where Gi-Huns family lives just like the final scene of season 3.

What do you think of this what-if?
How far do you think the step father would go in the Squid Game? Would Gi-Hun be the one to take him out or would that be too edgy?
