Squid Game - 1x7 - Episode 7 Reaction - VIPs

[@MrKrory]

Fun fact: The actor that played the VIP 4/Lion Mask actually has a pretty amazing story. He was struggling financially and took a trip to India on a spiritual journey with his 12 year-old son (his only family) because he had become disillusioned with life. They got stuck there when the pandemic hit and he ran out of money, forcing them to beg on the streets for food and beds. They were finally able to make it back home to Thailand after six months where he was still struggling to support himself and his son, but then he got the call from the director for this role in Squid Game (as the director loved his performance in Peninsula, the Train to Busan sequel). Now because of the sheer success of Squid Game, he and his son are much better of and his faith has been restored because he's said he finally has a success his son can be proud of.

[@jakistam1000]

I've heard other people say that, too. But in ep. 1 we've seen what the debt is for a random selection of people, and it was generally 300M - 1.4B won; and in ep. 2 we learn that Sang-woo has even higher debt. We didn't learn about 69 and 70 specifically, but I assume it's of similar size; most likely, 100M won wouldn't be enough.

[@annabananabear25]

If you look closely at the last panes of glass, you can actually SEE for yourself which one is the tempered glass and which the regular glass. Tempered glass as the glass worker stated is HIGHLY processed over regular glass and therefore has very smooth edges. The one on the right has visibly rougher edges being the regular glass.

[@DeathStarKitty]

The glass guy's mistake was he had a sample of the regular glass next to him. He should have reached over and tapped that pane to get the sound of the regular glass then tossed it. If the sound was the same, it's regular glass. If not, tempered.

[@DeathStarKitty]

@John Guerrero Not the one in front of him; The one next to him. The panes are only a few inches (maybe a foot at most) apart.

[@johnglue1744]

He should have thrown the marble hard as hell to attempt a break. To me it sounded like the left one when he tossed the marble.

[@DeathStarKitty]

@@johnglue1744 Maybe. The only thing that I think might be a problem is that you can shatter tempered glass with a pebble (or a piece of the ceramic top of a spark plug (not that I have any first hand knowledge of the effectiveness of a 1/4 piece of ceramic vs a 1986 Chevy S10 windshield)) if you throw it just right.

[@MACReact]

Could they have gone backwards and passed the marble to each other by bouncing it off a glass panel? It would be risky if either person drops it, but I think it could work.

[@DeathStarKitty]

@@MACReact Not sure what you mean. They are able to hand it to the next person so that seems unnecessarily risky way to pass the marble. The glass pane to his left was regular glass (he's on the tempered pane for that step) and he could easily reach it to get a sample tone. Then he can toss it to a pane in front of him and if the sounds are the same, that's the regular glass. Everyone lives. Of course, if that happened we wouldn't get 218's full heel turn and having an odd number of players for the next episode.

[@paparami]

Hi, I've watching your reviews of squid game. As I am Korean, I am super glad that you guys always pronounced characters' name with right Korean and remembered each. (Other reviewers mostly forgot the names and miss pronounced) Also I love you guys always discuss about episode with many reasonable clues. Yay!

[@sadonishi6158]

As Chinese, I don't see what the big deal is if American watching Chinese media are pronouncing stuff wrong or mis-remembering. If it's not their native language it may not be easy, give them a break. We should be encouraging consumption of foreign media, not stifling it by criticizing those who have a hard time with foreign languages.

[@paparami]

@@sadonishi6158 i think you are misunderstanding my point. I am not talking about speaking Korean. Character's name is repeated more than 50times on the show. And still some people pronounced his name as jihun instead of gihun. That's all

[@iceymoon]

Mispronunciation probably happens because many people cannot distinguish words of a language they’re not familiar with, so even if they hear the name being pronounced, they don’t actually understand/process what they’re hearing (I remember when I got better at some languages I’ve tried learning, going back to shows I watched before and picking out now-obvious words or names that I didn’t notice/hear at all on first watch). So for this reason, and because not everyone is good with pronunciation (even in their native language), I think it’s fine to give a pass to people on pronunciation. That being said, I think there’s nothing wrong for someone to commend these folks on their pronunciation, and add context as to why they find it impressive (i.e. that it’s not super common for reactors to recall & pronounce the name correctly). If people take that as an insult to other reactors, I think that’s on them more than on OP, since OP didn’t phrase it in a rude way at all IMO.

[@title3729]

Well… if Sangwoo didn’t push him everyone would have died at this episode

[@windwhisperer1000]

Yeah for this time i 100% agree with SangWoo's action. Other times I don't agree, but I don't disagree either

[@title3729]

@@windwhisperer1000 SPOILER!!!!!!!! in my opinion … i only disagree about him killing Saebyok when she’s already dying ( but maybe it’ll be quicker for her… cause i think bleeding to dead is kinda torture?? Idk) and him using his mother’s shop and house like that. Lots of people hate him… but let me ask if anyone are gonna sacrifice your life for someone you just met for few days?? He did what he had to…He is not like Jiyeong who is literally has no motivation in life anymore… she has no one and she’s willing to go. Lots of people watching this have a family, have something you need to do , have someone you need to take care of… I believe everyone that hates him will probably do the same thing if they were in that game. It’s not like he is the bad person either.. He help Gihun on the first game, he gave Ali the money and without him lots of main characters would have died even before the marble game. No matter what… he is the best player and probably the most realistic one. Damn.. long comment 😂

[@jenni5104]

Haha that's such a great story! 😂

[@hanziggy6862]

In my own personal opinion based on no evidence whatsoever (LOL!), I think the games are not the same each time, especially if this is for the "enjoyment" of the VIP's. But, I think they may have a list of games they cycle through and pick and choose which ones to do each time. I am guessing it may get "boring" for all the higher-ups and even the host, the frontman and the guards if the games were always the same each time in the same order. Plus, it keeps everyone guessing so even the guards cannot be coerced into revealing what game may be coming up next. The games may probably also change based on the number of players and who survives each game. I agree about the married couple. My question about the married couple is did they not have that conversation during the last game on who would live on for the other or if they would both die together? Do not get me wrong, I can completely understand the guy feeling guilty about still living and his wife dying, but would it then just make more sense for them to decide to not even play the last game and just wait it out and spend their last moments together until the end to die together? As ruthless as Sang-Woo was, if he did not push that guy off, then he and Sae-byock (SP?) and Gi-Hun would not have made it across to the other side OR Gi-Hun would not have made it. The clock went to zero right when he stepped over. How embarrassing would it have been if the next glass over that Han Mi and Deok-Su fell on was tempered glass and they were just laying on top of each other? If I were that glass manufacturing guy, I would have threw the marble as hard as I could at the glass to see if it shattered. I just assumed there were other games selected before where the players had to choose a number first. But, it makes sense this particular game was played before.

[@MACReact]

Ahhh I see what you're saying. So basically like a Mario Party variety of games. Maybe like 20 or so different ones and only 6 are chosen for each Squid Game. And like you said they probably have different games on hand ready to go if the number of players drastically changes.

[@당수동황장군]

The problem of the social system has been revealed, and now citizens around the world have to demand a new economic and social system. But the essence, as you said, is the "greed" latent in humans. No matter how institutional or system is in place, it is a property of greed that penetrates through it. We need to learn how to coexist with each other so that we can go to a higher civilization. You have to start by realizing that "greed for money" is not the best value, but a means of life.

Everyone always seems confused about why they blew up the bridge. But every game had a time limit, and any players who didn't finish by then were immediately killed. So the bridge was likely rigged to the timer.

[@prankfrank4615]

Hi guys. Plz make sure you guys are watching it with the right subtitles. You guys were watching it with the right subtitles until this episode. The normal English subtitles are the right ones. English [CC] are the bad ones. I mean, really bad ones. In the CC version, they’re writing their dialogue in a very different & annoying tone. Plz remember it and good luck. :)

[@MACReact]

Ok thanks for the heads up, it's hard keeping track of which ones are the correct subs.

[@sadonishi6158]

It's not about good vs bad subtitles. "English" subtitles are the translation for the Korean dialogue, and is the one you should be using if you're watching it in Korean dialogue. "English CC" is just captioning for the English dialogue version, which has some speech differences due to what happens in all dubs. If you were watching English dialogue with "English" subs, it would also not match up. It has to be: Korean dialogue + "English" sub English dialogue + "English CC" sub

[@hopydaddy]

The bridge was set to blow as the timer clocked down...so they had to make it across no matter what.

[@ahtreacts]

These VIPs were single handedly responsible for taking down the whole show, FYI while this episode i was only wondering, "how are they going to drink with those masks, i mean one of them who got killed by the inspector, was shown taking a lot of shots, so it made sense with him, but what about the rest of the vips!

[@Shizar7]

Can someone explain to me what does the expression "clutch" mean? Cause I heard them say it many times but I still don't get it.. English is not my native language*

[@MACReact]

"Clutch" is something positive that happens during a tense or critical situation. To use some sports analogies: If Michael Jordan makes a shot to win the game, that's clutch. Or if Lionel Messi makes the final penalty kick to win the game, that's clutch. So when we say, "oh that was clutch!", what we mean is, "oh wow they almost failed but they succeeded!"

I thought the VIP's were going to be their family members and the next game would have something to do with them. I would have liked that more as a twist than what this was.

[@atkim122]

I agree with the blonde reactor about repetition of same games. Think like a Jeffrey Epstein - billionaires get bored quick if they see the same thing twice. There's probably a rotation of some 3 dozen children's games and each year they use 6 of them. Also, based on "Korean games being the best" - it's likely other countries take turns hosting just like the Olympics. This is also my guess - just because there were multiple binders (ex: 2007) on the shelves may not mean there were 12+ squid games that same year. That many people going missing each year makes the conspiracy less realistic. One binder could have the player main stats while other binders might be detailed financial information about them, family connections (for potential blackmailing), and even a binder devoted solely to the engineering schematics of that year's games.
