Everyone, everything was perfect! It was really realistic and fun to watch, which made a lot of fans, crave for the next season. I really hope we will get a season 2.

the cast and director came to my school, and the director announced there will be a season 2 :)

Dunno but I feel like if there's gonna be a season 2 they are literally gonna put new characters into it or something... except for the main guy lead cuz he was the only one left alive.

[@enpeeemthebtch3085]

Season 2 is confirmed by nextflix themself :)

Swoon is so spontaneous😂 Just when I thought all the hype about squid game is over now....they release this!😂

[@itsnlee]

Still can't move on from the drama. It's amazing, and as Lee Jung Jae said, its the depth and exploration of social issues that made it stand out from those of the same survival genre. Could always go for a rewatch and I'll end up appreciating a new detail.

[@arohaswitchon]

this is for real one of the best Korean dramas that was ever made, everything was well thought out,the actors played their roles perfectly,t he music, mood and scenography completed each other, sincere appreciation for the director

[@kenx9984]

A simple idea but it became the most popular series and so damn famous around the world 👍

[@LIChen-dq4wm]

I loved it because of Gi Hun ❤️this man is so humble, i loved his character

[@LeeDongMin_ChaEunWoo]

We do hope there will be a 2nd season with more story about Gong Yoo and more interaction between him and Lee Jung-jae...

[@ricksanchez3189]

and the cop that called him crazy lol they should also team up

[@alii3210]

i didn't watch the show due to my anxiety but its fascinating how they created it and made the show big shout out to the actors because their role wasn't easy to play and to all the cast and crew who worked so hard to created this masterpiece thank you and i couldn't be prouder and happy for the director to have his show a worldwide phenomenon 12 years in the making is crazy after all his hard work he made it :) big round of applause to him the cast and the crew they deserves all the wins they get the show is a masterpiece

[@henry7504]

how is anxiety stopping you? genuinely curious

[@alii3210]

@@henry7504 i- okay i’ll explain it you probably not educated on anxiety that much😭 but basically i have generalism anxiety disorder like everything gave me anxiety and the reasons why i can’t watch squid game is the show its too realistic like in the way they filmed the dead scenes is too shocking and scary and hyper violent so that trigger my anxiety and i just feel anxious and not comfortable watching those scenes and i’m not gonna be okay mentally for days or even weeks if i watch the show and i can easily do nightmares too i even can’t watch Alice In Bordeland and All Of Us Are Dead because is too violent and shocking .. i do watch action movies violent stuffs etc (not horror tho!) but when its too realistic i can’t at all watch ik squid game is fiction but if you understand what i mean by realistic you know why i can’t watch.. also is the same thing with euphoria even tho i stan zendaya i can’t watch the show is too realistic too the scenes looks so real not fictif (even 13rw) never watched that either

[@alii3210]

@@henry7504 squid game is the type of show which gave me me a tons of anxiety the show might be fiction but its the type of show which is film in a realistic way like it doesnt look fiction at all it looks so real and too dark like the way they filmed the scenes specially the dead scenes is really shocking to the eyes and it would just trigger my anxiety if i watch the kdrama and like the games they play its just too much stressing and scary for me and my body can’t handle that + i have a disease i don’t have an hormone in my body and is the hormone who control adrenaline and stress&anxiety so main reasons i never watched squid games or any horror movies or show (except one but that was hella not scary talking ab Scream Queens it was comdey funny af lol) but yeah i don’t watch those type of shows is too risky for my health and with my anxiety disorder i just can’t i’m not gonna take the risk just because everyone watched it and yeah unfortunately it sucks i can’t watch it bc i really want to but my health is more important

[@henry7504]

​@@alii3210 Thanks for the reply, I hear people talking about anxiety and stress all the time and I just never really understood it cause I've never experienced stuff like that. Sorry if I came off as ignorant.

[@alii3210]

@@henry7504 no worries !! i’m happy you asked ! And yeah people who don’t have that much anxiety or any mental health disorder specially anxiety disorders don’t really understand how anxiety works i always had a lot of anxiety in my life i’ve been dealing with it since i’m a kid (i’m 18yo btw!) i started seeing a psychologist in 2016 and i am on medication for my generalism anxiety disorder since 2017 bc at that time i had a huge anxiety crisis and i lost 10 pounds bc i wasnt eating and when i was trying to i was throwing up :/ i also was in depression and had suicidal thoughts too but here i am today! So basically my generalism anxiety disorder i’ve been having it since i’m really young but i had no idea found out about it during therapy and i also have another mental health disorder that i have also since i’m a kid but never knew ab it either its ocd (obssesion compulsive disorder) i found out about it during the first lockdown of the pandemic bc the symptorms got stronger i saw a psychiatrist two times last summer for it but it didnt help much bc they mostly see patient who are suicidal or has huge depression but anyway yeah and i might take a medication for my ocd too bc its really hard mentally to deal with it worst thing i ever experienced in my whole life.. but anyway yeah i have a lot of anxiety due to what i went through and my health i have a complicated disease so that give me a lot of anxiety too my whole life is hell honestly but gotta deal with it. So to conclude this dealing with two mental health (one is an anxiety disorder and the other one aka ocd is not an anxiety disorder but it comes with anxiety) is really hard

[@makipizon]

In my opinion I think it's better left as only one season. It's only perfect as a limited series but I hope I am wrong and season 2 will be good. ( But I dislike story with revenge plot. Most of the time it didn't work.) Although I would like to have a side story with Jun-Ho and his brother the front man. As well as the salesman played by Gong yoo.
