Squid Game - Season 1 Eps 1 Reaction

[@pReviewd]

Hey Peaches! Thanks for checking out our reaction to the first episode of Squid Game! Just a heads up if this the first of our Squid Game videos you're watching. We do switch over to English subtitles in the next episode and for the rest of the series. Here's a link to the next episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2OWpauZaducrLc

16:51 WOW! The dub royally strips the game of part of its context there. The robot girl sings a very short song so you can time your movement accordingly. In the dub it seems as if she says green light and then a random amount of time later she says red light which would make it a totally different game, one about reaction time rather than rhythm/timing.

[@srsmatt7272]

You guys should watch it in Korean. I was hesitant because I don’t usually enjoy reading subtitles but this way wayyyy better in its original form. I think the English voiceovers for this show are really dumb and take a lot of tension out of it

[@brainfreeze3175]

Please watch it with Korean …. It’s so much better with subtitles

[@brainfreeze3175]

Oh wow.. I didn’t realize how bad it was in English dub!!!

[@brainfreeze3175]

You are missing a lot of sound fx and music in the English dub version

[@HallyuHagdom]

yeah there's so many beautiful and heartbreaking moments that will probably be lost with the dub

[@AstroLogical35]

I completely agree! I'm in a sound design grad program and learned that no internationally dubbed version of a film sounds anything like the original because in the making of the film the dialogue and the true emotion behind it is purely based on how well the actors and actresses prepare when shooting.

[@miggycaro]

Sub version is a lot better! The acting is superb

[@qdkdicja10]

But I read somewhere that the eng sub for this show isn’t that good🧐

[@scarlettmi]

@@Littlewings_P Yeah, I think someone confused the closed captioning for subtitles.

[@WastedPo]

English dubs are often done really well. (I actually prefer the English versions for many Studio Ghibli movies.) Unfortunately, in this one, they seemed to have put zero effort into approximating the same environmental conditions as the original voices. So voices that are meant to sound outside, sound like an actor speaking directly into a microphone in a booth. And voices that are meant to be in a crowded restaurant, sound like an actor speaking directly into a microphone in a booth.

[@IceMetalPunk]

The dubs aren't great on this, I agree (except for Sae-byeok's voice actor; she's pretty great). But honestly, I would have a lot of trouble paying attention to the show if I had to read everything everyone said, so I understand watching the dubs instead.

[@fredericksaxton9782]

​​@@jessierolland2658 Bugging? Bruh I'm a weeb, and yet I've always preferred watching my anime in English, including dubs from 4kids that were arguably garbage. This, this dub though? It's a f*cking embarrassment to my English language. I have never cringed harder watching a show, I KID YOU NOT. I physically unable to watch reactors who watch the dub, so I'm going to leave, but it's not out of some stüpid prejudice against dubs or something, it's just that bad that it effects me negatively.

SO glad you guys are reacting to this. Watching it dubbed (with you) after watching the original really hammers home how bad the voice acting is though, it makes serious moments almost comical. There's some important moments and character building that will just be lost in the dubbed version.

People are saying do subtitles but you guys do whatever makes you feel comfortable, me personally I watched it dubbed just because I didn’t want to read subtitles and it was easier to follow with the dub. I’ve watched reactors do subtitles so I’ve seen both. But if it’s easier for you with the dub like it was for me, then that’s completely fine. You guys do what make you feel comfortable.

Background information about Red Light, Green Light ( Moo goong hwa Ghot ee pi ut sup ni da ) As you know the basic rule is you can move on green light and can't move on red light. but it's not everything. " Moo goong hwa Ghot ee pi ut sup ni da " has 10 words. so instead of counting to 10 , We made this sentence to play. It's like you can move until the girl counting to 10. " Moo goong hwa" is the name of Korean national flower. " Moo goong hwa Ghot ee pi ut sup ni da " means "The flowers of Korea are blooming" Koreans have been trying to rebuild the country from nothing after Korean war. " Moo goong hwa Ghot ee pi ut sup ni da " was our hope and goal in 60"s. I have been playing this game since 7 years old.
