SQUID GAME - 1x7 - "VIPS" Reaction/Review! (Season 1 Episode 7) 오징어게임

[@Spartan-lg6hu]

Just to give you a cultural background, Minyeo survived saying she was called a "ggak-ddugi" in Korean (translated to "weakest link" in EN subs), which is what children call the kid left last when picking teammates with an odd number of kids or the weak/youngest kid. Usually, the "ggak-ddugi" gets to be part of the game with some form of protection (like a bunch of boys letting their younger sister play along). So this was another nod to the way children play/act in Korea (and I assume in other countries as well).

[@Omn1Media]

Thank you! My dumb brain thought she was making a Weakest Link game show reference...

[@saritatambayong4002]

In Indonesia we call it "anak bawang" losely translate to onion child. Don't know why it's called that. Yeah those kids usually the weakest or the youngest and will have special treatments

[@rsdillbot3646]

Hey I was the weekist link but in the UK we just called it the kid nobody liked

[@Brianpcomstock]

Back to back you’re a god 😭😭😭 episode six was incredible stoked for this one!

[@Omn1Media]

I wouldn't say that, I would say, "I'm impatient and can't get things off my own back otherwise itch at the inner recesses of my mind until I give in and scratch it!" :D

When I send I was gonna take the weekend off ... well, I didn't and I finished editing them all today so I got impatient myself haha

[@AndrewInmanartist]

Whoever the set/costume designer was for this show did very good. Those bodysuit/bodypaint design idea was very interesting. I thought the same thing about the balance beam.

[@Omn1Media]

The production and design teams put in the work!

[@jenni5104]

This is my favourite game out of all of them. My heart rate and anxiety peaked during this one. People say the VIPs acting is bad, and it is, but I read an interview that said it was meant to be that way. Over the top and obnoxious. It was sort of a payback against westerners for how we portray Asians in our media. Low key burn 🤣 Also we are repulsed by the VIPs, but in reality we, the audience are the VIPs. We are a nameless, faceless collective, sitting in comfort and coming together to watch people die for our entertainment. 😉

[@Entxq_]

regarding walking on the beam instead of the glass etc, i think people mentioned either that will be against the rules or the VIPs will be too bored and ask one of the guards to shoot them or something so either way, they're screwed 💀 but yeah i kinda wished someone tried that to show what would happen HAHAH

Tempered glass can support the weight of two people. Many people would not have died if a glass company worker had checked the glass and moved forward first. And even if the light became dark, it was possible to check by throwing the survivors' shoes to distinguish the sound of the glass.🤓

[@checkout982003]

My idea was to sit on a panel then reach across with your feet to try to break the one in front of you.

[@Omn1Media]

I thought about something similar, another I had would have been to try putting all my weight on where the beams held the glass to try just balancing on along the beams...don't know if they would consider that cheating though!

[@checkout982003]

If you're just tuning in now sure, but I mentioned last week in episode 1 that I thought something was off about him and narrative wise, it wouldn't make sense for it to be anyone else

[@Invader_Rin13]

The VIPs are the worst part about the show, they aren't great actors...

[@Omn1Media]

Oh for sure, I just excused it because I don't expect people rich enough to be here to have the best humor or understanding of anything "beneath them"

[@TheBambinoitaliano]

My biggest gripe with this series is with the VIPs. Their dialogue is horribly written and cartoonish. The voice actors are just as bad. Almost took me out of the show and destroy the tension the key characters were building.

[@Omn1Media]

Oh I definitely agree, a lot of their dialogue is just stating the obvious to the viewer most of the time and some cringy humor but I don't have high expectations of snootie sickos!

[@MoonageDaydream.]

[@XwezzyO]

SAME

[@nth_to_see_here]

Love the show but the VIPs took me out of the experience this episode. Really terrible dialogue and acting there. The only weak link of the show. I wonder why that is? Is it a cultural/language difference of not recognising the flaws when they are acting in EN? Trying to maybe force a Korean way of acting on American characters which doesn't work? Straightforward translation of dialogue which might have sounded a lot better in Korean? I don't know, there's sth there. Anyway, besides the VIPs, enjoyed it a lot.

[@Omn1Media]

Maybe a combination or not sure how American's would talk in this situation. It was definitely a little out of place but I just excused it in by brain as snootie rich people trying to be cool around other snootie rich people!

[@AlessaParker]

terrible English-speaking acting is actually common in Korean shows but that didn't stop me from cringing everytime they opened their mouths. but then again I also felt like it was intentional to make fun of the character archetype??

[@nth_to_see_here]

@@AlessaParker OK, wasn't aware that it's so common. But apart from the acting, they did really have terrible lines. I understand that probably the creators wanted to keep the VIPS completely one dimensional, in contrast to our main cast, but still. I guess I'm trying to imagine Daniel Day-Lewis saying lines like "oooh, it's bigger", "oooh 69" and in my head it still doesn't really work ;)

[@nth_to_see_here]

@@AlessaParker But yeah, maybe it was intentional.

[@Omn1Media]

Nah, I felt that way too

[@thedeep6570]

@@Omn1Media i did some digging and all the "american" actors are only in Korean or chines Media. So maybe they are born in asia and only spoke english with their parents? that would be my guess

[@exodustimes4266]

I think they were putting on accents to show the squid games is a worldwide event. Not just Korea takes part in the squid games.

[@crooked3656]

The VIPs makes me cringe so much. Atleast get a good actor. The only cringe part of the whole series

[@fxbear]

If I have a gripe about this show it would be the same gripe I have with Dune. It’s very lazy writing to always use an overweight gay man as a villain. Cheep shot and not at all creative, not to mention very insulting. “Let’s gross everyone out”. Along the same line that only bearded guys you ever saw on tv in the 70’s were villains. So much so that it became a cliché.

[@dylanhenry5888]

What’s gross about being gay?

[@spiral5650]

@@dylanhenry5888 he wasn't saying being gay is gross but rather the stereotype being used is just cringe. I didn't think much of the show runners choices with the VIP scenes, way too silly and stereotyped. I'm not American and even I cringed.

[@mimi11011]

I don't think they were aiming for overweight gay man, they were going for old wealthy man (men commonly known for facilitating human trafficking and involvement in sexual illegal doings) Whether it was a female or male, one of them would have tried it and sexually assault that person, just so happens it made most sense for it to happen to the police man.

[@rgractor]

The American characters are so awkwardly written.

[@johna3863]

Talk about a show going off the rails all of a sudden. Practically unwatchable.
