But I'm guessing it's fairly overrated seeing as these so-called ''breakthrough'' things are usually of variable quality .e.g. I'd rather BTS be popular here than Gangnam Style, for example, and generally I find that most of what's popular any time, any place is usually rubbish, so you can't really say it's better than other K-dramas or better than tokusatsu just because it's popular. I don't know why I keep replying really but please bear in mind that we don't know what's going on in people's real lives, for example having autism in one country or place might be a different situation to another.

I... what? BTS has been massively popular here for YEARS and Gangham Style hasn't been relevant in almost a decade. So you're saying you want... exactly what is happening.

Squid Game might not be this massive game-changing thing like some people think it is, but it is a VERY good show and is worthy of the attention it's getting. It absolutely is objectively better than almost every toku; the production design, acting, consideration of the plot and characters, all that stuff is objectively better than any tokusatsu. That's not down to opinion. Whether you personally like it better or not is completely subjective, but on an actual production value it outclasses any toku in every single way without question. Popularity has nothing to do with it.
