How to watch Squid Game with subtitles
Not everyone loves dubbing, with many preferring to watch a show in the original language with subtitles. For those who wish to hear the actor's voices, rather than the voiceover artists, you can change the settings on Netflix easily from dubbing to subtitles on the series.
It's simple. First find Squid Game on Netflix and press play on episode one. Use the on screen menu at the bottom of the screen and click subtitles (it looks like a little speech bubble). Here, select "Korean (original)" and the show will play in the original language and default to English subtitles. You can also select the subtitles to be in a selection of other languages should you so wish.
