Squid Game, the popular survival K-drama, finally concluded with season 3 on June 27, 2025. Although people have been going crazy to believe that there will be a fourth instalment, the director Hwang Dong-Hyuk has already confirmed that there won’t be any more continuation of the main storyline. But that didn’t stop him from teasing the opening of a Squid Game universe with the American version.

Crime shows aren’t just a U.S. obsession; now they have become a global phenomenon. And when a country like South Korea, known for its sleek thrillers and dramatic storytelling, takes a crack at a major American procedural, you better believe something interesting happens.

But despite airing internationally, this remake somehow stayed below the hype radar. If you blinked, you probably missed it. Let’s rewind and unpack why this K-drama take might be worth your binge list.

From the moment Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Raj, and Howard first stepped onto the screen, fans showed up and stayed for twelve unforgettable seasons. Looking back at each season’s most-watched episodes, it was clear what the audience craved the most: laughs, lovable weirdness, and a whole lot of heart.

Even though The Big Bang Theory came from sitcom king Chuck Lorre who had hits like Roseanne, Dharma and Greg, and Two and a Half Men under his belt, this one still managed to catch everyone off guard with how big it got. Especially when it hit season 3, and the show turned into a full-blown phenomenon.

In a TV world where multi-camera sitcoms with laugh tracks were starting to look “old school” (thanks to the rise of Malcolm in the Middle and Scrubs), The Big Bang Theory doubled down on tradition and won big.

It is already known that most demon slayers brandish the traditional Nichirin katana, which is forged from a rare ore that drinks the sun’s light, making it lethal to demons. But when it comes to Mitsuri, her sword twists all expectations.

A Whip, Not a Katana

The Love Hashira’s blade, a Nichirin Sword like the others, gleams with a soft pink hue and a color that mirrors her spirit. Yet it is not a rigid katana. Instead, it moves like a living thing, a razor-sharp whip that dances and bends with every swing. Even though she carries a regular-sized sheath, the...
