about the "choice", I don't see it like that, where do you go when you don't have a place in the world? and the "option" is kill or be killed, and try not to die. there is no choice for them. when Oh II-nam says "i didn't force you to play" he just wanted to come up with an excuse to make it seem like he's not a horrible person and the game isn't a nightmare created just for fun by taking advantage of people who have no choice. they do a lot of research and only go after people who are going through a lot of needs, because they know it's easy to manipulate. anyway, it's so unfair, and the "common thing that rich and poor people have" that ll nam said makes no sense, poor people don't get bored, they work a lot and don't have time to be bored because they're too busy trying to survive. once again showing how manipulative and sick these people are.

it's not that she sacrificed herself for him, she wanted him dead, and he wanted to use her to go first and risk her life for him, and that's the difference, because she would be giving him a chance to survive, and she knew that her chances were really low too, and with that decision at least she wouldn't be used by him and got revenge. it wasn't an amazing decision because there weren't any good options either.

moon

No prob dude like i said no hate, big fan over here lol! I forgot about that, he does really flaunt his winnings from those bets tho. Guess at the end of the day rich guys gonna act rich smh can’t defend that.

Ray Criswell

The acting in this show was so good, and I both love and hate how every Korean drama I've watched makes me think about humanity a lot, is heartwarming, and f'ing heartbreaking at the same time.

Oh wow Rose I didn’t make any of those connections but the show def uses color intentionally so that’s a great observation!

What an amazing debut! Def have my eye on her future performances

Michael Beveraggi

My fave 😔

Michael Beveraggi

Seriously

Michael Beveraggi

Don’t remember what I said but I’m guessing I joked about him being the gambler rich guys? Just seen all his crazy sports bets lately, had no idea he’d done all those good things (Def know about Olstein smh). thanks for letting me know Ray! Nice to have some decent rich people out there

Michael Beveraggi

No hate at all, love the reaction videos, but chill out on my guy Mattress Mack. He's done alot for poor ppl in the Houston community and even allowed people to use his stores for shelter during Hurricane Harvey when Joel Olstein closed the doors to his Mega-Church. Local houstonians love that guy, he means well.

Ray Criswell

this show really reminded me of the hunger games

with the disgusting stuff I've heard that the elite do for entertainment, I wouldn't be surprised if the writer got inspired by one of those events

Yenelly Tejada

I get why minyeo fell with him, simply cos she had no other choice and this death is the only way she’d have control. There’s no way she’d be strong enough to push him off and going in front of him when no matter what she’s gonna die would just be letting him win. This was the only way she’d have control of her death tbh. If you’re gonna die might as well do revenge and make it a little sweet.

as for cheol, his dad is dead and his mom is stuck in north korea, so unfortunately the chances of him reuniting with his parents were pretty much slim to zero and i think him getting taken care of by sangwoo's mom is one of the best possible endings for him, even though it's very tragic.. but yeah just as you said the mom lost one son and gained another pretty much :/ there are also tons of theories circling around about the ending and why gihun did what he did, and a lot of people are finding it suspicious how the guards knew he was about to get on a plane... i think ultimately he decided to go back to 1; save people from having to go through the same thing he did, 2; give the guards and the frontman the punishment (?) they deserve, and 3; for the safety of his family

signe !

id like her if she wasn’t racist and annoying tbh

Han Mi-nyeo (the curly haired woman) didn't sacrifice herself for anybody. She's expressed how she's been treated horribly by men in the past, and thought she found a man who would ride with her to the end of the games, and he betrayed and embarrassed her. She swore that she would kill him, and that was her opportunity. She was smart enough to recognize that she was most likely not going to guess the next 6 or 7 tiles correctly, and she said she wouldn't die so he could potentially live, she took him out with her while she had the chance. I loved her character arc tbh

Jade Hunter

so true !! i need to watch some more of her stuff when she gets more opportunities, she deserves it bc she’s so talented

As a basketball fan I thought you might enjoy this: At a press conference shortly after s1 aired, Lebron was caught on video asking Anthony Davis if he had finished it yet. Once AD confirmed that yes he had, Lebron said “I didn’t like the ending though,Get on the f–king flight to see your daughter. What are you doing?". Upon being asked to comment on this by reporters: the creator of the show said “Have you seen ‘Space Jam 2’?”

Hedda Dybvadskog

-for our dear friend 09 or whatever, i UNDERSTAND why she did what she did. Like you said, she was saying "if you betray i'll kill you," and with him betraying her, she had no trust. right before her he'd already pushed someone off, and more or less said "i won't budge, either you go first or we all die." I saw her thought process more as "well i won't let him use me to his advantage (in the game) again, if i'm going down i'm going down with him. AFTER that tile still had 1/(2^3) odds of living, so she knew she wasn't making it, so she was taking him down if she was going down too for his earlier betrayals. -for the brother who won, it would be sus if someone dirt poor all of a sudden had a ton of money, so i think the reason he didn't pay his rent was that he was away prepping for the games, but he prob kept that apartment as well to not arise suspicion. -lastly, i'm curious as to how our red-shirted friends came to be, clearly they have small rooms, rules with circles labor, triangle guns, and square, and their different rules. I also want to know how brother came to be front man, and more about the red shirts next season, so hopefully we can see some of that too. They're clearly not rich if some were trying to traffic organs and stuff, but also have to have enough training and pre-warning to be able to do labor and have enough trust to not mess up the games. - I agree, we lost a lot in ep 6 that was hard to get back in the last few episodes, so binging it it doesn't feel as bad, but taking a break after 6, it's hard to get back into it and feel as much excitement for the ending and series after so much loss, it was a rough episode and to this day it still hurts hahahah. I still really look forward to season 2, can't wait to see where that goes!

just like stranger things, trust no 001 😂

I was, while watching for the second time, again wondering why the hair man? Why the red hair? It feels so out of place. But then I was thinking... I was already gonna leave a comment about the salesman's game in the first episode and that we saw a glimpse of again at the end there, he lets Gi Hun pick a colour to play as. There's a blue paper and a red paper and Gi Hun picks blue, and becomes a player. If he had picked red, would he have been a guard? Players wore blue and guards wore red. It's not like the guards have it easy, they are continuously expected to mercilessly kill people and then clean up all the dead and incinerate them so they need desperate people to fill those roles too. So...does the red hair signify him making a different choice, changing direction? Hmmm, this is the closest I've gotten in my head to a plausible reason they'd do the hair thing anyways. On another note, if you remember the big fight instigated by the organisers, the old man got on the beds and yelled that he was scared and to stop, and the fighting got stopped that moment. As for Sae byeok's brother, she mentioned their parents were both gone, the dad had died and the mum was caught in China and sent back, so she would have been at best imprisoned and if not, killed. I think leaving her brother with Sang Woo's mum was a good choice. Hope they make a good season 2

I love you saying that HoYeon Jung, the girl who plays Kang Sae-Byeok (067) is the best actor in the whole series. This who was actually her acting debut, which is insane, she has been an active model for years but squid game is her first acting role. I fully agree she is such a stand out and she rightfully won a SAG award and also was nominated for an emmy for the show. But what a crazy performance for an acting debut!!!!!!!

Hedda Dybvadskog

felt that

aen

sae-byeoks death genuinely still makes me (and from what i can tell on twt, everyone else) so upset and sad as she was a fan favorite
