A former reporter and YouTuber, Lee Jin Ho delivered news regarding actress Lee Yoo Mi. 

Lee Jin Ho said on his personal Youtube Channel on February 3rd, "Following the Squid Game, another hit drama was born" and added, "The work is the Netflix series, 'All Of Us Are Dead'"

He continued, "The actress who receives the most spotlight is by far Lee Yoo Mi. Following "Squid Game", this work has also been a hit all over the world". He added, "Currently, she has achieved 7 million Instagram followers". 

He continued, "In this work, Lee Yoo Mi comes out as a selfish person who only thinks of herself. But (according to his investigation) she was very different from her real personality".

He explained, "After the filming was over, she took a sticker photo with the actors she was with and even encouraged them through Kakao Talk".

Lee Jin Ho said, "It is said that in this work, the actors are very close to each other because they are of similar age" and added, "When the work become a hit, Lee Yoo Mi continued to support her co-actors by commenting on their Instagram accounts".

Lee Yoo Mi, who debuted as a CF model in 2009, appeared in films "The Yellow Sea", "Park Hwa Young", "Young Adult Matters", "Hostage: Missing Celebrity", the drama "Squid Game", and "365: Repeat the Year".

In the Netflix drama "All Of Us Are Dead", she played the role of Lee Na Yeon. Her role instantly became one of the most hated characters in "All Of Us Are Dead".

Na Yeon’s demeanor and actions showed one of the K-drama’s societal issues about class status, power, and what people are willing to do to survive. Despite knowing her character’s horrid actions, Lee Yoo Mi defends aspects of Na Yeon in a Vogue Korea interview.

Lee Yoo Mi explains, “She has no choice but to be in a rush because she has to survive. Her desire to live was just expressed in a different way. Na Yeon does what she can because she’s human. That’s why I think people feel pity [for her]. If she’s really mean, that means I acted well, right?”

Audiences came to dislike the Na Yeon from the start, but by episode 8, she realizes her mistakes and how lonely she is. When watching the video recording her classmates left, she is sad about killing Gyeong Su and misses her friends. Audiences start to pity Na Yeon despite her horrid actions.

Squid Game is back on Netflix with its highly anticipated second season, but the reactions have been mixed! Fans are divided, and some are even calling it a "teaser for Season 3". So, what's going on with Squid Game 2?

On December 26, Squid Game Season 2 dropped on Netflix, continuing the intense story of Gi-hun (Lee Jung Jae) as he returns to the game for revenge, facing off against The Front Man (Lee Byung Hun). The stakes are higher, and the game is back in full swing.

Season 1 of Squid Game made a massive splash when it premiered in 2021, earning multiple awards, including Best Actor for Lee Jung Jae and Best Director for Hwang Dong Hyuk at the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards. With such huge success, many expected Season 2 to deliver, but it’s already sparking debate.

Some fans have expressed disappointment, saying that it feels more like a teaser for Season 3 rather than a full season. Critics are divided, with some praising it, while others find it lacking in certain areas.

Entertainment journalist Lama shared a positive review, saying, "Squid Game Season 2 is much crazier than the first one. The 'Dear Hunter' moment will make you feel like you're sitting on a bed of nails, and the action is intense, driven by retribution."

Ayush Sharma, a news writer for The Daily List, also praised the season, stating, "Squid Game Season 2 dives deeper into human psychology while raising the stakes. It connects thrilling action with mind games, and Lee Jung Jae’s performance is top-notch. The show has grown and improved."

However, Time magazine had a more critical take, saying, "Two out of the seven episodes are dull", and criticizing the slow pace.

They also mentioned that Squid Game 2 rehashes some of the plot points from Season 1, which made the show feel repetitive. They also pointed out that the new characters didn’t add much emotional depth and that some of the violent scenes seemed similar to what viewers had already seen.

Korean audiences also have mixed opinions, with some praising the drama and others feeling like it didn’t live up to the hype.

The mixed reactions have fans eagerly awaiting more, especially since Season 3 is already in the works! Both Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed simultaneously, and Season 3 is currently in post-production.

While there is no exact release date yet, it’s expected to drop in the first half of 2025. Fans can’t wait to see where the story goes next!
