Qi Yuwu has not yet watched "Squid Game", but because a friend told him that he was selected to star in the local version of "Squid Game", he deliberately went to see a piece of flowers. He said that "Squid Game" is filmed like a movie, which is very cinematic. He also thanked the local audience for voting him for such a role. "It's a pleasure for the audience to want to see me play such a role, thank them for having confidence in me."
It is estimated that "Squid Game" will surpass "Strange Thief Luo Ping" to become the non-English drama ratings champion.
However, he did not think that he was selected because of his face bump or long hair and the male protagonist Lee Jung-jae-san. "It's impossible to find an exact person to play, the shape can be changed."
He analyzed that the reason for his selection may be that there have just been two plays on the air recently. "The recent "Soul Ferry" and "Big Dreams" are being broadcast, and with the previous plays, the audience may think that my temperament and performance are similar to the male protagonist."
Qi Yuwu said that he had not played a similar role before, and Singapore had not produced a similar drama series. So he hopes that the local government can also dare to break through and produce such a level of TV series.

He also pointed out that local producers have also been trying to break through, and "My Girl Luo Mingyi" is a good example, which is one of the few local dramas with ancient costumes and traversal elements in recent years, and it is also a bold attempt. The show's recent Emmy nomination is an encouragement.
However, he also believes that the graphics of "Squid Games" are somewhat violent and bloody, and it is not suitable for broadcast on local TV prime, but it should not limit our imagination because of such restrictions.
