The only thing the VIPs valued was pleasure and that's an even more terrible thing. It's mostly how everyone sees the VIPs, someone else may view them as additional characters who aren't really neccessary to the script, and for some others they may realize something important out of it, like the fact people are being tormented for the sake of the VIP's entertainment. This scene certainly adds another level to cruelty.

Squid Game's production budget was about $20M...a fraction of most other Netflix shows and Hollywood movies. But for Korea, $20M is a big budget and you can bet that Netflix will pour more money into Korean content in the future and you will see more edgy content from Korea. Win, win, win....a win for the global audience, a win for Korean actors & directors (...their contract value will skyrocket), and a win for Netflix.

Marbles: Up to the players but could be entirely skill based like the one the thug guy plays. 5.

So Squid Game was the first ever show I ever watched on Netflix, considering I don't watch shows like that anymore. I loved it. Every second of it. I was GLUED to my screen for the entire time I was watching. This is how shows should be made now a days. Honestly props to Netflix, and props to the team behind Squid Game. Can't wait for season 2!

@@deepthijoseph711 Same here! To find out that he was behind it all actually made me feel better because the whole time I felt bad for the old man

[@R4in46]

I think what makes the marble competition sad is the fact that many chose their friends or the person they trusted the most, since they had to make teams of two, They thought they were going to have to compete against other teams, not each other, in adittion to the fact that before playing, some of them stopped to talk, talk about personal things and dreams, They had an opportunity to get to know better the person they were going to kill, or who was going to kill them, in this competition you can see the most human side of all the participants and that gives it a special touch, Personally, it made me too sad when the friend of the North Korean defector sacrificed herself so that she can continue

The fact that they put so much thought, work, and attention to detail into this show is AMAZING. They thought about how much the looks of the sets would affect the atmosphere, and it looked fantastic in the end. Very well done.
