The bad acting of the V.I.Ps is sweet redemption for all the hollywood films/shows miscasting asian actors (like the "korean" lady in black panther who spoke gibberish korean because they casted a chinese person)

[@SmileyAdventures]

Oh wow! I didn’t know about that. Hollywood has a thing with type casting the wrong way

[@GuriStargin]

They also do this a lot with "mexican" characters. Most of the time you can tell they probably have Latino blood but don't really even speak Spanish, because their accent is terrible, the acting is very alike to the one from the VIPs, and the sentences just sound wrong.

Well, for the VIPs, they don't actually have to be great actors because they have minor roles. And actually, the close-to-realness cringe when you see them is good, considering that the show encourages us, the audience, to hate them.

[@케라케라]

that's because of money. american class A actor is so expensive to afford as everybody knows. this is 1/10 or 1/20 of budget of normal american drama which mean korean director can make more than 10 season episode while american making 1 season with same money even if we get funding enough money they not gonna shoot small country short drama. why they would? I would not too also they will shoot with mask whole time Oh my... that's impossible to get good english actor and actually VIP is not very important person in this drama VIP is extra so I guess director choose just class B C actor or none professional just english speaker with masks for extra because they have NO choice. well things will getting better if korean drama keep doing well and get enough funding and "good" american actor "willing" participate

[@albusfr]

As this show was filmed in South Korea, the VIPs were basically any English speaking white people extras they could find locally. Hence the bad acting. If you watch a lot of Korean shows/movies, any time there’s westerners or Chinese speaking characters it’s the same level of cringe.

[@saturated3821]

They're also often written that way though, I mean their lines were cringe to start with. I guess the lines are kept simple for the viewers to better follow and especially in this show when viewers are supposed to hate them, it was probably intentional to make them look idiotic.

[@raiderwarrior2725]

That’s true. I’ve seen a lot of a Korean films and all the English actors they hire can’t act.

[@alexisg6732]

I love the irony in Deok-su's death. You would think someone like the main characters would take him down or someone "tough", but the fact that a woman like Min-yeo took him down with her was so satisfying. He didn't take her seriously due to his sexist attitude & merely saw her as a nuisance but that all change when he came face to face with her on that tile during their final moments. She really did get her revenge after all

[@Thigsy]

Min yeo is the stereotypical person who gets used by others and being dumped when they think she's of no use to them. Being the case she also tries to use others to her advantage. She ended her life getting exact revenge on a person that dumped her ending her being used as a tool by others her whole life. That's why she didn't hesitate to die by killing him.

@@yulrix I agree, I think they could have easily added female characters to the VIPs. I do think they show that some females were willing to do some sadistic things like mi-neyo pulling deok su down with her. I think if it was intentional then it was just a reflection of society (maybe the worst of society) and the idea that people still see men as more able than women. Maybe I’m just thinking about it too hard or too little, I’m honestly not sure.

The set designers constructed the glass bridge 5 feet above the ground.

Awesome reaction as always!! Say what you will about Mi-Nyeo (aka the Arturito of SG), but the way she went out was BADASS. Someone on Reddit pointed out that the way she chose to die (leaning backwards, holding onto Deok-Su) was a callback to episode 5, when she talks about how "powerful" she felt when they were all leaning back in the first 10 seconds of the tug-of-war game. Can't wait to see the rest of your reactions!!

Some of those lines are so cringey they are almost ironically funny. The “ah, it’s bigger!” line actually made me laugh. The issue is there aren’t many American actors in Korea. So when they force them in like this, they get some really bad performances. Hopefully with the show’s popularity they can hire some real actors for season 2 VIPs.

[@YoBoiToxic488]

I think that they either told the VIP actors to be intentionally ridiculous or just hired random people to play them. It makes it much more frustrating as a viewer to realize that those are the people responsible for all of these deaths and I think that it speaks to the theme of inequality (particularly financially) throughout the show. Many people believe that the world is a meritocracy where what you put in is always going to be what you get out. In reality, people start from all different places and most of the people participating in the squid game have very admirable qualities (ali for example) but likely started from a much worse place than the VIPs. By making the VIP's into wacky/dumb characters, the show challenges the idea that a true meritocracy exists and implies their success in life is due to something other than their own qualities. and I am sure that many rich people do genuinely act like that behind closed doors Just my take on this part of the show because I see a lot of people complaining about the acting of the VIPS

I was yelling at my screen when the glass manufacturer said that he couldn't tell which was which for the last one. He was using the light to tell which was which but all he had to do was look at the edges of the glass. Normal glass has rough and sharp edges and tempered glass has smooth edges. I know it was for the plot but still, he's a glass manufacturer.

[@raahimbashir3482]

Also, what he could have done was bounced the marble on the tile he was already standing on (which is confirmed to be tempered) and listen to the sound produced, and then thrown the marble on one of the next tiles as he did and compare the sound produced to the control he’s already standing on. With only one marble to throw, there was no point wasting it by throwing it across without already knowing how tempered glass sounds. It’s certainly not fail proof , but if the sound produced is similar to the sound made by the tempered glass he’s standing on, it’s worth assuming that one is also tempered.

I don't believe with so many cameras, they didn't catch anyone smuggling in a knife or using a lighter during the honeycomb game, or how those pink soldiers didn't get caught selling organs. Moreover, they let people get killed during that bloodbath in the sleeping room. All those players won fair and square, but they let those thugs kill them without intervening

[@MagiKAL98]

I think the Frontman is the only one who really seems to care if the games are "fair" or not. The VIPs.... not so much. They would've wanted a spectacle to end on and I don't think the Frontman has enough authority to go against them.

@@AmorphousEcru my theory is, they tell the players its fair and should be fair, however, if it comes to a point where they can make it more enjoyable for the vips, they bend the rules. just like they did in this episode with turning out the lights so that the korean man who used to work at the glass factory wouldn't make it across. i could imagine that even the players who cheated throughout the series, as a viewer (us) and the vips, it would be more interesting to watch it all unfold

Korean dramas and shows tend to have poor acting by foreign characters. The actor playing Ali is obviously a giant exception. He is fantastic. But yeah, It's just super rare to have fluent english speakers who can also act who ALSO live in Korea. Especially if this production was made during COVID times when traveling into Korea is very difficult..their options were limited. Also there is something to be said about how well a director can give direction with a potential language barrier. This is all to say..I agree 100% the VIP's in this show really detract from it..and their lines could have been seriously cut down. Though..im sure we arent meant to like them or think much of them anyway lol.

Ali graduated Korean national art school where many great actor/actresses came from! His acting is 👍👍👍

[@EbbnFlow_Design]

@@낭니-b7x Yes! I saw an interview with the director. He mentioned how incredibly lucky they were to find and cast him in the role because skilled 'foreign' actors (who also spoke korean fluently) were very hard to find at that time of filming. I really loved his character T T

[@waitingforapril]

I'm sure they could have auditioned other actors via Zooma and flew them in...I mean it's a Netflix production. There are plenty of actors who dont charge much and are just glad to get the work...and yeah, Ali!!!!! He is one of the first fully fleshed out real characters I remember who are foreigners in a Korean drama, and thank goodness for the actor--couldnt have asked for better.

I thought the VIP's were so cringy too lol but my love for the show surpasses my hate for the VIPs so.. I wasn't too mad I just waited for their scene to end lol

[@Hiyeee]

i love your reactions the best out of all the ones i've seen here on youtube. patiently waiting for your reaction to the last 2 episodes! >.

[@Misskanojojo]

Loooooved it!!!! Keep the awesome videos coming!!!

[@suricatelover8918]

I feel like the VIPs where acting that way to portray a clear difference between them and the other characters, they act almost like NPCd while all the others have such complex and cool dialogue. At the end of the day the story is not about the VIPs so they act the part

[@jconneringalls1189]

just subbed! loving your content especially these squid game reviews :)

[@mckenna8663]

As someone who is scared to death of unsecured heights, this was my absolute nightmare. I'm laying in bed while watching this episode, and both my palms and the bottoms of my feet began sweating. Unbelievable! And then to think of those contestants having to take off their shoes and land securely on glass panes. If that were me... let's be serious, if I would have made it that far I would have crumbled into a fetal position on the first platform and said, "okay, fine. Shoot me now."

죽은 애미라도 돌아온거 같냐? 아.. 이 얼마나 찰떡같이 딱맞는데 느낌을 전달하기 어려운 표현이냐고...ㅎㅎㅎ Youre looking at me like youve seen a ghost okay?ㅎㅎㅎ 미녀가 "귀신이라도 봤어" 이랬으면 You've seen a ghost 딱인데 죽은애미 살아돌아왔냐는것은 전설의고향 시어머니급 멘트인데 ㅋㅋㅋ
