Did I enjoyed it? Very much even though there are scenes of blood and violence. I just closed my eyes during the bloody scenes and exposure of human flesh and organs.
The ending is a little bit twisted and complicated. However, there are several articles explaining the ending leaving an opening for Season 2.

In case you have not heard, Squid Game is now officially one of the biggest Netflix shows ever and it has penetrated the dominant discourse in a way that no show has since maybe Game of Thrones.
Here's more detailed discussion on the ending, symbolism of the hero's dying his hair red and the prospects of Season 2. If you have not seen, the series, I highly recommend it. Just ignore the violence and the bloody scenes.
The series follows several “players” recruited into a multi-day survival game. The players are drugged and transported to an island and forced to compete in playground games, with the winners advancing to the next game and the losers being shot, stabbed, plummeted, or killed in some other creative and gruesome fashion.
After six games, the winner is awarded the monetary amount assigned to everyone who has been killed—the final prize being some ₩ 45 billion.
At
the end of the series, we learn several things about the game. We learn
the game has been going on for decades and has featured thousands of
participants. We learn one of those participants (and winner) is the
Front Man, brother of detective Hwang Jun-ho—who he shoots and who falls
off a cliff (fate unknown). We learn that the organizer of the games is
in fact Oh Il-nam (No. 001), the old man. He founded the games with
several wealthy friends after the group had become bored with their
fortunes and wanted to have “fun.” For details of this series read:
