Squid Game Episode 1 'Red Light, Green Light' Premiere REACTION!!

[@NikkiStevenReact]

really didn't want to have to get into this here but these comments just leaving me with no choice... I have a pretty strong learning disability which makes it impossible for me to watch subtitled content. That combined with the 6 or 7 concussion from the many years of football, my brain just does not retain information like you. It's why my career is in video production. It's either watch it with the English dub or not watch it at all and honestly feels like starting this was a mistake.

[@daisychong3488]

It's totally fine! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did (even dubbed). EDITED: Just wanted to add that the English dub didn't seem quite as bad as I expected. I always thought the worst when it comes to dubs. XD

Steven, you're an absolute champ for fulfilling the peoples request. Your condition is unfortunate, but I applaud the way you have handled it. Nikki and you, reacting to this, in any language, is a gift to the community. Yall's services are much appreciated.

[@sebasgehon9886]

agreed!!! as much as i enjoy subbed versions better, seeing them react to a show/movie is all that matters! i don't mind watching team react to the dubbed version as long as i've watched it before :) i really appreciate this

[@Wizznilliam]

The fact that people go so crazy over this is just ridiculous. This dub isn't even that bad. It took me all of 10 minutes to get used to the voices.

[@fredericksaxton9782]

@@Wizznilliam That's you. I usually PREFER DUBS! I could barely make it a minute, it's f*cking awful, it legitimately makes me cringe.

[@Wizznilliam]

@@fredericksaxton9782 Ok. Well. And that's YOU. I usually don't prefer dubs and don't watch a lot of live action foreign shows because of it. Some people don't want their attention to be at the bottom of the screen reading when there are real faces and scenery to take in. This dub is no where near bad. If you cringe over something as minor as this then perhaps the problem is you.

[@itsulie]

@@Wizznilliam this always makes me wonder if the education system is at fault (excluding people that truly have clinical issues reading) because I love watching series of all languages in their original language with subs and it takes me like a second to read and go back to the scene, it doesn't cause a problem for me.

[@qdkdicja10]

I personally enjoy the subbed version, but come on guys, everyone has their own preferences and enjoys media differently. Diversity and increasing the accessibility of the content to a wide variety of people is always a good thing, no need to mock someone else for their preference. Thanks for your reaction Nikki and Steven, hope you continue!

You rule!! I sure if it wasn’t for his disability he would love to watch it sub. I know they appreciate subscribers like you.

[@Dragon-Believer]

I think dubbed is better for KZbin. It's impossible to read the subs in a reaction video. I know we're not watching the show but I like to do both.

[@minmin-kk5dy]

I think the voice acting is good enough in the dubbed version, but the problem is they sound straight out of the recording booth. I understand it is hard to spend much money on dubbing, but the post-production is not so good. Wherever scenes take place, they just sound like a recording booth. But, still, it is good to have a dubbed version.

[@angelbedolla347]

I agree unfortunately most reactors can’t read and react at the same time.

With me; I have a learning disability when it comes to being able to learn and/comprehend things based upon certain topics/hobbies, etc. Certain things just click for me, while other things not so much; people honestly think that I'm just lazy or I don't study hard enough; but the simple truth is: I can't retain the information as good as the next person; so if someone were to give me a mathematical equation that is in the form of say... Calculus i will not be able to comprehend it even if someone were to sit with me all day and/or me just really hard press in study mode. And even IF I was able to learn Calculus I get severe anxiety/stress when it comes to taking math tests because if you get one part of the formula wrong everything falls apart.

[@JT11967]

Well Steve did mention at the start that he prefers sub but due to his condition he needs to watch the dub instead. That's ok. Look, you don't have to defend dub for the sake of it, like what do you mean you're not used to watch Korean shows, or any shows for that matter so you need it dubbed? Just watch it like any other show! The dub didn't do the original actors' voices any justice. Unless you're having a condition like Steve's, watching with sub is like listening to the radio while driving. It comes natural. It's more immersive instead of some fake voice-over which sounds like you're in a cereal commercial.

[@arihohru]

@@serin77 I said it's good compared to other dubs. (Sorry in advance for the amount I wrote) Yes there are some dialogue changes, however the vibe and character development isn't lost in translation. It's very easy to fill in any gaps. Also, if you knew anything about dubs, you'd know they don't purposefully mistranslate. It's necessary for scene length and viewer comfort. If they kept the complete and original translation then dialogue would be spilling over scenes and therefore it'd be hard to track who's saying what, who's doing what, and the experience would be terrible. Don't crap on dubs, they do amazing with all the limitations they have. And again, squid game's dub is much better than many others. My friend watched dubbed and got the EXACT same experience. She understood the story, she loved the characters and we described the characters personalities and traits the exact same. That's how I know this dub isn't bad lmao. Hope this helped

Couple freinds you guys rock 👏😄

[@mark-s]

Really glad you are doing the squid game excellent series and easier with you watching it dubbed for KZbin purposes too

[@warrenmurphy9324]

Hi guys, loved this video and have now subbed to your great channel. I'm so happy you chose the dubbed version as I hate subtitles too. Keep up the great content..... sending love from the UK xx

[@TheTVDewey]

Super glad you guys are reacting to this series! Don't let the negative comments get into your head about whether it was the right or wrong thing. Can't control learning disabilities and stuff just happy you're enjoying the show!! Can't wait to see you guys watch episode 2!!

[@dzeman92]

Just finished watching last night…watched the last three episodes with the English dubbing..thanks for the suggestion…my mind is blown! Love all your reactions. Train to Buzan was one of my favorites of yours. Keep it up!!

[@slime_roy]

Lmfao nikki's face was the EXACT facial expression i had when i finally gave in on the squid game hype and when the credits showed i was like "yep! Im binge watching this series cause they got my attention." Lmfao and if you thought that episode was good .... just wait until you watch the other episodes ESPECIALLY episode 6 ... thats all i will say 🤐 .... Enjoy the series y'all! 😉😁

[@GeekRaj]

I have never cried so much ever than in episode 6. With subtitles its epic. One of the best shows I have ever watched.

[@gina3498]

Its always a absolute pleasure watching you guys react to something,especially Nikki.your reactions are always priceless❤

[@LadyRav3nGaming]

I didn't even know there was a dubbed version guys. The subtitles are the reason I haven't watched this. Now I might watch it. I can't watch subtitles either. They actually distract me from watching the movie because I'm too busy reading the words. You do you guys and don't worry about the haters. You have so many people willing to watch you that don't care about the sub/dub thing. Hell, I'm watching you and I haven't even seen this show yet (though I have seen clips of it so I know the gist of the show). You guys rock! 😉😎

[@darthpirateus2640]

Love your all’s reaction. Would live to see your reactions to the Hunger Games. It’s a great series.

[@ACriticalGeek]

I already watched it subbed. Happy to watch it dubbed with you guys.

[@AshleyBabyMalone]

I have watched it twice, first dubbed and again in Korean and enjoyed it both times. Enjoy it however you want to, I really enjoy your reactions so I will be watching if you do continue (I hope you do😊)

[@elizabitty213]

💚💚When I first watched it I watched the dub version because that was the default setting on Netflix I didn’t know there was an option and I think they did a pretty good job with it and I enjoyed the show immensely! So glad you guys are doing this show! 😎🙋🏼‍♀️

[@ValyTraveler]

I usually watch subtitles but this time I chose to watch the english version all the way through - cause when I sit down to watch Netflix this time I wanted to work on projects and chill... So, Steven I feel ya...

[@levid.2592]

Steve to Nikki: you're already so judgey Me: literally laughed out loud. Love that you guys are reacting to this. It only gets better from here

[@aox32]

I just finished watching the series, and the first thing I thought about was I wonder if you guys have reviewed this and sure enough you are. So here I sit watching your episode 2 review after just seeing your first review. Thank you guys for your awesome content.

[@MJ-ue2kb]

The name of the first game is “Mugunghwa flowers bloomed”. It's just the beginning. Enjoy it as much as you want! I'll look forward to the next reaction video.

[@ExodusPaddy]

Just for the record … I watched this entire season 1 dubbed in English and have no regrets whatsoever.

[@anandboss7034]

same, honestly people are really exaggerating, the voice over work is fine for the most part

[@jakebradford4272]

same here

[@chante-marie169]

I've been waiting eagerly for you two to see Squid Game! Don't worry about the dub. I can't read subtitles anymore either. But I thought the dub for this show was very good!

[@fritzk3627]

Agree 💯

[@NicholasSteMarie]

@Stolen Content wtf

[@MsLotzaluv]

I don't get why everyone's giving so much hate. If the dubs help one more person fall in love with the show then let it be. I binged the entire season in dub & loved every second. I can't wait for season 2. I could fully focus on the show instead of reading subs and missing clues because I was focused on reading & not the actors.

[@chante-marie169]

@@MsLotzaluv People just like to find something to feel superior about. So long as you're enjoying yourself, it doesn't matter if the show is dubbed or subbed. People are so petty. I cannot wait for season 2 and I'll still be listening to the dub when it comes out because like you said, I'm not missing any clues if I don't have to focus on reading while I watch.

[@erikavasquez1424]

Nikki, i know how much you like the Dad from Train to Busan and his name is Gong Yoo ...So, I highly recommend that you and Steven react to one of his bests Korean TV series called "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" about immortality, reincarnation, grim reapers and themes like that... you'll love it I swear! you'll be really amazed in the acting, effects and cinematography... It has everything: history, action, mystery, fantasy, romance, drama...

[@michaelabald6174]

I was waiting for your reaction to this! After watching Squid Game I watched Train to Busan for the first time, became a crying mess, stumbled upon your reaction to TtB and became an even bigger crying mess seeing Nikkis reaction....can't wait to watch you watch this 😁

[@euodiaclitterhouse4726]

I've been in a situation where an organized movie night was ruined when the host refused to put CC on for the legally deaf guest. That guest sobbed in front of everyone after "losing the argument." Abelism sucks. Always feel proud from speaking out against it & speaking up for yourself. Never feel ashamed. Thanks for the courage to share.. I think you have the reach to make a difference against abelism.

[@Moonage_universe]

Ha! I was just watching squid game reactions and wondered if you did one, looked it up and here you are! Can't wait for the rest, I've been loving your reactions ever since GoT :)

[@merchillio]

The dubbed version isn’t as bad as some other dubbed material. Thank you for opening up about your situation. I’m sure there are loads of your subscribers who are in a similar situation.

[@Tokiofritz]

Glad Nikki and Steve are watching this! Such a great couple and genuine reactors.

[@mimilili6568]

I love this couple and their videos!

[@CountDubula]

Steven! I'm so sorry people gave you shit about the way you chose to watch this show. Needing a dubbed version is no different from needing glasses or needing closed captions, and nobody should be shamed for it. (Also it was actually really cool to hear how the voices sounded in English!) Love your channel and happy to get to watch you and Nikki react to this show, in whichever way is best for you.

[@JoanneGarcia]

Your reaction to Train to Busan is one of my favorite reactions. And the fact that you get to see Gong Yoo again here, what a treat! This show is AMAZING and I'm so glad you're watching it!

I was not expecting this but a big surprise! I finished the show last week it was really good but emotional. I have gotten into a lot of shows non-english speaking and I actually listen to the audio in their language with English subtitles. Glad you guys are watching it! Enjoy!

[@tenniset]

I started watching original version, but I found you watching English-dubbed version refreshing to me. I can appreciate both your reactions and how effective English dubbed.

I have vision issues. It prevents me from watching subs. Which sucks. But honestly there are some absolutely fantastic dubs out there. I'm always looking for dub reactions. I'm so thankful you are reacting to this in the dub. Which is how I had to watch it. I'm so excited for this. Thank You!

Please, don't stop for some rude people! I believe the majority of us watch you because we like to see your opinions and the way you react to stuff, personally I don't like dub, but is not me who's watching it, I already seen it, is you who have to enjoy this experience! I really think the both of you would really enjoy the series
