Hwang Dong-hyuk is the creator of the hit Korean drama Squid Game.

The first series was Netflix ’s most successful show to date, thrusting South Korea and its home-grown television dramas into the spotlight.

The show sees debt-laden contestants fight it out for a whopping cash prize by playing a string of children's games.

South Korea's film and television creators currently have a love-hate relationship with Netflix .

They accuse the platform of forcing them to relinquish their copyright when they sign contracts.

The issue is compounded in South Korea , creators say, due to its outdated copyright law, which does not protect them.

Creators are pushing the South Korean government to change its copyright law.
