'The Square' showcases the essence of cold and intense noir action, providing not only genre-related excitement with hard-boiled action but also receiving praise from domestic and foreign viewers for the powerful and unique performances of its actors.

In particular, foreign media noted, "The tension of the revenge drama makes it impossible to stop watching due to well-crafted action sequences" (Decider), and called it "a bloody revenge thriller that rivals what we have always waited for, comparable to 'John Wick'" (Collider). Domestic and foreign viewers are also saying, "I am watching with bated breath, losing track of time" (YouTube VCTHE***), "Fast-paced without a dull moment, excellent action.
