Squid Game Episode 2 Reaction!!! | HELL

[@genevieve5651]

I’ve been watching so many reactions to Squid Games bc i’m obsessed atm, and y’all are absolutely my favorites so far. Relevant, entertaining commentary and v funny. thank you for the reactions

[@휩휩]

Yeahhhhh

[@Parkroo]

I agreee!!

[@chogak]

ya they good af fr, i like they references to movies n shit, thats my fave

[@my-rmy]

can't agree more...

[@Franz_Liszt_Korean]

Agree

[@mm-uz1gu]

Sangwoo, the guy in the tub, wasn't JUST depressed - he was trying to commit suicide with the smoking charcoal.

[@aeris_yt]

Yup, it's even sadder that he chose to fill the bathtub too. Once the carbon monoxide poisoning takes hold, he'll naturally slid deeper into the tub, ensuring that he drowns while unconscious.

[@realitylapse]

Even more crazy how creators or reactors never read these legit comments.

[@mimilili6568]

@@realitylapse Director of Squid Game said he's reading all the comments on youtube to get the idea for season2 a year ago. Since he knows English he must have read some comments so im really excited for season2!

[@enigmaE5]

The fact that you guys visually reference your jokes, makes these hands down the best reaction vids... "Funco Pops" comments too funny🤣. Lookin forward to the rest of this series reactions.

Exactly they're desperate.

[@ginnycho4134]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@drzero7]

13:29 Alot of westerners didnt get this scene. But, this is Sang-Woo attempt to commit suicide. Ya know in america, the "cliche" suicide attempt is go to your home garage and turn on your car keys and let the car fumes kill you with carbon monoxide, same thing. He locked himself in the bathtub and he lit some charcoals. (The black thing on top of the indoor gas stove.) This method is the "cliche suicide" in Korea because most people live in apartments.

[@JollibeenosHasYourCoordinates]

If it's a Hotel, maybe I can understand. But if you do that in your home and no one else sees your body, the water is gonna turn you into a gross soup and that's not fun for anybody.

[@Kbinger06]

I actually found out about that charcoal thing...Something I learned about when getting into Korean idols songs and entertainment....Sadly, that's how the member in Shinee passed (drawing a blank on the name, think jun young...But don't know that's it.) So, I know, about what you're mentioning. Crazy.

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

@@hope3290 They say the odds are better because most jobs don't require fighting anymore. With drone tech. I doubt it will be an issue except for small teams and occupation numbers. I've been talking to a lot of vets that disagree about the risk with lack of job security rewards.

11:00 The tiny rooms for rent are usually used by ppl that are studying to get a job as a public official (most steady job according to ppl in SKorea). They leave home to concentrate entirely on their goal. All they do is eat sleep an study for the exams in that tiny room. It’s also one of the or the cheapest way of living for a “student” in the city. Some ppl devote years of theirs lives on it.

[@LiveANoursishedLife]

I had no idea! Thank you for explaining that.

[@HerrDeutschBlood]

Love how y’all keep referencing the Rush Hour movies. It’s one of the greatest trilogies of all time!

[@ChrisDodges123]

Its like their own lil niche

[@amandadougherty6615]

They didn’t say there was only one winner, they did say this was prize money for playing all games and not getting eliminated, and they mentioned splitting the money for those who were eliminated, which strongly implies that you can split the money with all those who complete all the games. Also, after seeing your reaction to how this ended, you guys are going to have a seriously hard time waiting between episodes going forward…

[@Core4VTReacts]

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up amanda

[@sariel8406]

More than 1 winner is possible. Squid game, the last game is played in team. If many people get to the last game then they will probably play in a team.

sangwoo was actually trying to end his life with the "charcoal" before someone rang his door..waiting for the other episodes.

[@ot1040]

I’m kinda surprised how many people didn’t catch on to that, but yeah a lot of reactors are like “man, he’s got it bad because he’s wearing a suit in a bathtub” and I’m like “HES COMMITTING SUICIDE!!!” Lol 😂

[@sseoryu]

Yeah koreans catch that this is a suicidal situation at once, but youtubers say he's doing an aromatherapy or something 😂 I love watching the other world's reactions

[@CodyCha]

There are more obvious ways (everyone understands immediately) to commit suicide but the writer had to have him in a tube wearing a suit for a very specific purpose.

[@crlnxx254]

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

[@a.j.1819]

@@CodyCha The directior explained it already, Sangwoo is a dapper guy who thinks highly of himself, that's why he chose to go in a suit. Also suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning is a very "clean" way to die, with no pain and no wounds. It's often used by buddhists.

@@616chloe I'm surprised to hear that too. Ep2 was what got me hooked. I almost didn't continue after Ep1.

Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2 raised my brother and i lol i never get tired of the references edit: the scene of them looking at the money fill up in the dark room, like moths to a light, was dope. hearing the three of you discuss topics during the show is also cool. great stuff, i can’t wait to continue seeing your journey! sorry one more edit: i don’t know if anyone else called it out, but San Woo in the suit in the tub with the charcoal briquette burning was trying to kill himself with that. it’s not as well known in the west

[@alliezun]

In reference to the focus of how much money they would win (each get)- they were smart to do it the way they did. They specifically darkened the room and lit up the bowl and had similar triggering sound to activate their conditioning response to gambling (addicted or not). At that very moment, all awareness and rationale was overpowered by the reward/pleasure response especially after experiencing what they did in the first episode. When you’re becoming addicted to a substance (excess dopamine release), that normal hardwiring of helpful brain function can work against you. The over stimulation of the imagine of that much money can hijack the pleasure/reward circuits in your brain and hook you into wanting more and more. Even though they had the “choice” to leave, at that point, their rational mind is overcome by the illusion that they “could” win it “this time”. So when they went back to their unsatisfying lives a d experience all the stressors that kept them in survival mode (stressed/anxious/fear driven) the then option of gambling their life became the more feasible option in comparison. They knew exactly how to get them to comed back. Fucking genius.

[@sidochka3039]

(Commentary), No spoiler don't worry Episode 1 and episode 2 aim to establish 1 thing - the wager and the desperation of the ppl who participates in the games to win that wager. In their minds - they don't have anything much else to lose, they've been losing in life anyways. But they're offered a chance, no matter how small, of winning a sum of money that would make all their problems disappear. These are ppl who were knocked down, and have no way to resurface. Alrdy living in run-down lifestyles with debts of millions and billions, they would need multiple lifetimes of suffering to pay those off. One of the main characters' personal issue was gambling addiction, another was fraud, while another Ali was just an innocent worker trying to make a living but life and ppl keeps taking away from them. It really brings us to think abt, if we were in their shoes, with their debts, and their social and financial problems, what would we do

[@SakuraPixie]

The references…the facial expressions 😂 here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 I also find it peculiar how people say the gore with Ali’s boss was OTT but will stan and defend shows like TWD with its use of gore. I chalk this up to zombies adding an element of “fantasy” that separates viewer from story, whereas this feels so much more rooted in the real world ( even if it is incredibly fantastical and OTT)

[@im_azraelle]

when Sangwoo was in the bathtub with his suit, there was something on the floor y’all probably missed…he was burning charcoal in an enclosed space, which emits poisonous carbon monoxide, and is unfortunately a common suicide method in South Korea.

[@KayKay-l2t]

Firstly, well done guys for listening to it in Korean with the subs' on, it is totally different and has more emotion to it. You're right, it's good that the writers make you feel sorry for these characters and it's interesting to see all our main characters forming and how miserable life is on the outside that they think it's "hell" and who will be tempted to go back and take the risk. The police detective is interesting and how does he find out what is going on - not giving any spoilers. I disagree with you on him being selfish about the detective bringing the whole thing down. I just think Gi-Hun didn't tell him because maybe he thought he wouldn't be believed and was too distracted by what happened earlier, with his daughters step father trying to buy him off to keep out of their lives and possibly losing touch with her forever if she moved to the US. Is there only ONE WINNER🤔, if I told you I think it may spoil it for you. Not sure if any one in the comments below gave it away. Great she held her breath, but why???🤔 HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS, IT'S A ROLLERCOASTER!🎢

[@Lydiashuppert1]

I love that the dog watches it too! 😍😍

[@leti2299]

I think that the detective's brother died in the game bc they send the exact same box that they were cremating the bodies, but smaller. Probably that's what they do when someone dies in the game, they send that little box with the card inside because they know someone's gonna check it, somehow call the number and get into this crazy ass game ( I think that's how they get more players )
