Both were the first Asians to garner those titles, and the first from a non-English series.<\/p>\n<p>Hwang said he had already devised games to be played in the second season and was writing a script, but was in a dilemma over dead characters such as Ji-young and Sae-byeok. <\/p>\n<p>The new season will be shot next year and released in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to revive Ji-young, but her best friend Sae-byeok also died, so I\u2019m thinking what to do,\u201d he told a joint news conference in Seoul with the drama\u2019s crew and cast. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many characters died, especially beloved ones died. I\u2019m sorry I killed them so easily; I didn\u2019t know this was coming.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Emmy\u2019s directing honour epitomised Hwang\u2019s never-dreamed-of journey with the series, but he was disappointed at missing the trophy for best drama series, which went to HBO\u2019s \u201cSuccession\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course what I wanted the most was best drama series. Because above all else, it comes at the end of the ceremony where everyone in the team goes onto the stage, so I was hoping for such a moment,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I heard an \u2018S\u2019 sound when they announced it, I thought it was \u2018squid\u2019 but then it turned out to be \u2018succession,\u2019 so I remember being a little disappointed,\u201d he added, with a wicked smile.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Hyonhee Shin and Dae-woung Kim; Editing by Bradley Perrett)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2749480\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E6-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E6-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2749482\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E4-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E4-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2749483\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E3-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8F0E3-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hyonhee Shin and DAE-WOUNG KIM SEOUL (Reuters) \u2013 The director of Netflix\u2019s huge hit series \u201cSquid Game\u201d said on Friday that he was in a dilemma over whether and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1642634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1642634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1642634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1642634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1642634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1642634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1642634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
