[@mellchiril]

@@SpartanShepard Haha I know the tactic well yes, I do the same quite often in scary movies. I usually use other programs that I have open on my pc and resize their screens to cover everything but the reactor's face. Works about 90% of the time. Sometimes someone's edits are just a little bit odd and you end up at the creepy/disgusting part a bit sooner than expected... but still 90% success rate isn't half bad.

[@danielhughes1711]

Notice how before the first game there where no guards with guns but after that at the start of episode 2 there are guards with guns

[@larniieplayz6285]

Oh yeah

[@catewright1575]

I thought that was bc there was so many of them? After the first game the number is cut in half so more manageable. Plus with all the people were running, having guards on the ground would've meant accidentally shooting people who didn't mess up. Maybe i'm the only one who thought that?

[@dickbong3661]

@@catewright1575 Nah, I think it's the element of surprise - they're being openly creepy, but they're very careful not to let anyone know in advance that they're playing a death game. None of the game staff really react to the mass shooting, and they have a prerecorded message reminding everyone of the rules.That suggests it's normal for the first death to trigger a panic, and get a good chunk of contestants killed. That's the outcome they want, because it cuts down the playing field to a more manageable number, and makes sure the survivors know exactly how high the stakes are. South Korea has very strict gun control, firearms can only be legally owned by police and soldiers. If the guards were openly brandishing guns, it would be a clear sign that something is very, very wrong here, and everyones lives are in danger. That would ruin the panic reaction, either with everyone already expecting murder and not losing it, or everyone being scared enough to lose it before the game even gets to begin.

[@ziongarner4485]

@@catewright1575 Tbh it's likely because the players at that point know what the game is actually about (life and death), so they'd be more dangerous and could attempt a riot against the guards. They also wouldn't likely want to reveal the true nature of the games by having armed guards.

[@lucky247365]

I have watched several people react to this show and I'm always surprised that no one really comments of how surprising it is to see a South Asian man in this show. It was a very welcome surprise to me as most Korean stuff I have seen has never really had diversity in the cast because Korea is still a fairly homogeneous society. Seeing Ali speak Korean is amazing and I love it!

[@CodyCha]

There’s a Filipino man in the game too

[@enigmadrath1780]

From a western audience perspective, it's not unusual to have an ethnic minority among the main cast. If they're not familiar with Korean media they're unaware of how rare it is indeed to see a non-Korean in a major role.

[@PacificEgg]

Binging this show in 1 day and now watching 1 episode a week with Primate.

[@IAMJAX93]

20:40 little did he know

[@mr.moviemafia]

There are actually TWO versions of English subtitles, one called “English” (which is more authentic to the Korean translation) and one called “England [CC]” (which is more like a subtitled version of the English dub that misses a lot of the original Korean script)

[@districtskz]

isn't it the opposite? isn't the cc one the correct one?

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

I don't feel a ton of sympathy for Sang-woo because he DID have great opportunities and the reason he's in debt is because he embezzled the money from his company and also used his mom's money as a part of it. Gi-hun is portrayed as kind of a lowlife gambler (including stealing from his mom, cancelling her insurance, etc to fund his addiction) but Sang-hoo is just as much a gambler in that sense and he isn't somebody that was failed by the system like some of the others may have been. We do know that Gi-hun got laid off and that was part of his past, and we don't totally know why his other businesses failed, but we do also see that he has really bad decision making skills/impulse control, even if he can also be kind. But yes, the game makers are definitely preying on the type of people that are in a situation where they are willing to be slapped several times for some money and to keep "gambling" even when they are clearly losing, or who otherwise have nothing to lose.

[@chriscombs4246]

I think it’s important to remember that some of them have the type of creditors that will kill then. Player 456, they said he had 1 month before they came for 1 of his kidneys and 1 of his eyes.

[@ArtyKibbles2190]

Sang-woo was going to kill himself in that tub with the smoke.

[@kampinak]

perfect title for the episode, they went back to their lives and its actual Hell :) feel like in general its just bad to dub Asian stuff because of how different it is, the way they talk, the way they express themselves, you just cant get it right in another language

[@districtskz]

Sooo excited for your reaction to the rest of this show! It's such a good series and it really hits you in the feels more than you expect it to

[@ikoandreas5085]

I honestly don’t believe this show is about how greedy people can be. Because to these people, this isn’t the money that will make them rich, this is the money that will save their lives. As the show progresses you see people doing some pretty fucked up things and it’s because what the show is truly about is how cold, instinctful and heartless we can become when pushed to the absolute limit.

[@chimmysyellowhoodie7885]

[@Zen_user-001]

I watched the sub version.

[@mellchiril]

welcome to the world of subbed Squid Game. It really does make the experience a little bit better. I hadn't seen a dubbed episode before watching ep 1 here, but they sounded a little bit like robots reading from a script, very monotone and empty. I really would recommend watching ep 1 in sub again on your own time. The red light, green light doll's song is soooo much creepier in Korean. Good luck with the rest of the episodes, if you thought the stuff until now was brutal... oh man. This show might wreck you. It wrecked me... although I will admit I'm a highly emotional being most of the time. Anyways, nice reaction, see you in the next one.

[@catewright1575]

While i do choose to watch subbed over dubbed bc the translation is more accurate, hearing the actual actor's voice is important to me. It shows how well they deliver the emotion and dialogue and that adds a lot of depth. Separating the actor's voice from their acting is like choosing cheap headphones over theater surround sound.

[@MaxStone289]

The first time I watched this, was the dubbed version, because like you I don't like reading the subtitles while trying to stay focused on the show. Seeing that it is a lot better, Im going to watch the show again with the subtitles on, and especially after seeing that the voice of the girl (robot) during Red Light, Green Light is also Gi-Huns daughter in the show. Another thing is that the recruiter is also the father in Train To Busan, can't remember if you noticed or touched on it, but I thought that was pretty cool.

[@StardustandMadness]

I didn’t even know I could watch the sub until you said there was a ‘different’ version. I was about halfway through and it got so much better without the dub.

Maybye don’t put your face right in the middle of the video but other than that the video was good thank you for making that

[@johnpolston1796]

Usually people that go through shit like this is because it's mostly self inflicted. For the small % that life has dealt a bad hand, I feel for but the rest have to lay down in the bed they've made for themselves.... And Stepdad was doing the right thing for the daughter. Every time the dad would do something fucked up he had to pick up the pieces.. I thought the gesture was very kind considering....

[@CarloRodriguez10]

I’m glad you changed it to sub version. Of course it needs more focusing, but without sub version you miss a lot.

[@Brooklyn_Bleek]

lol, he's only on episode 2 & he says, "This is so dark & sad". LMAO! But, it's rare that a show is so hyped up & it more than lives up to expectations for me IMO. But, when you see that in Korea, the general work week was 68 hours a week compared to America's 40 hours, but it went down to like 58 on average in Korea but no increase in pay, plus unemployment & debt is crazy high too...this show is kinda too close to home & I remember seeing footage of this show being an inspiration for protests by people dressing in the green & white tracksuits to complain about everything. Well, thanks for the switch to sub & please try to *AVOID ALL SPOILERS* if that's humanly possible at this point. Great Reactions BTW!

[@RationallySassy]

@@ItsAPrimatee That's fair aha. On Netflix I looked and it has English and English [CC]. I don't know if you're watching it on there or not but if so, I think just the regular English one is the one people have been recommending as more accurate. I don't think it matters toooo much so no worries but I just kept going like 'that isn't how I remember it hmmm...' so it was throwing me off haha.

[@Littlewings_P]

​@@ItsAPrimatee What you watching is CC which is based on Dubbed and it has so many mistranslation... For example 4:50... If you watching on Netflix, change it normal En sub... But if it other source then maybe you can't find to normal sub anywhere, I think so far

[@CodyCha]

@@Littlewings_P 5:04 it does say “the majority” in the next line. You can find errors in EN subtitles too

[@Littlewings_P]

@@CodyCha I know.. It's serious error in itself though, translated it different meanings in just 10 seconds and it can be confusing to watch.. Apart from that, I can give an example that there are countless awkward mistranslations in CC... But can you give me an example of where to find the mistranslation in normal EN sub? I believe Except for unavoidable paraphrasing due to language and cultural differences, there are almost no errors in Normal EN subtitles.

I understand that sometimes the emotion might not come through and yeah, the translation might be off, but when a show has a complicated story I'd rather listen to it in my own language then try to read what's going on as well as see what's happening. You can definitely switch to the sub if you want since I guess it'll sound cooler, but I personally watched the full series in dubbed so I was able to better appreciate it in the end. I even thought about doing a Reaction for this series myself, but the episodes are a bit long and don't know how I would deal with copyright, so I guess next show I'll react to is Hawkeye.

[@amandajoyextras]

I hate dubs....always. For any show. But I also have a really fast reading speed so it doesnt even distract me from what I'm watching, but I understand everyone is different and some people prefer to listen and may not want to pay attention as closely, so to each their own. Anyway, the show a good watch and I'm excited to see more of your reaction/commentary to it.

[@SpectorPrime07]

Sub or dub doesn’t matter with this show when it comes to translation. I watched the dub with subtitles and they’re literally the same.

[@hotsauce69247]

There’s definitely a difference in subtitles, I think with “English” vs “English [CC]” Like there’s one scene I’ve watched reactors have different versions, it’s a line in a later episode, but doesn’t spoil anything. One version is “Thank you for playing with me.”, but the other version is “I’m honored that we were partners”, which is a like whole different line

When it comes to sub vs dub there are some that are very aggressive at ordering people to watch the sub version, personally you should watch what ever is most comfortable to you. Personally if it is something animated then i prefer dub so long as the voice actors are good as the animation does not portray body emotion and the mouth movements are usually close enough to match, however in live action for me it has to be sub and Squid game is a good example of why as there is a lot of emotion in the actors voice that also matches the body actions that just is not there in the dubbed voice actors , its almost like they where not watching what the actor was doing and simply phoned it in

The second episode I believe is the slowest of the entire series so far because this one is basically them leaving from the game and then some of them deciding to go back so there's not really a game it's just it feels like filler to me

[@ENERDTAYMENT]

I disagree with it being filler. It shows you what is at stake for every one of the main characters, which invests you in their story and adds to the tension later on. Without episode 2, it's just a bunch of people you have no attachments to, and can't really care if they die or not.

[@memelord7567]

I don't think it's filler at all. It does a great job of developing the side characters and their motivations. You'd think "who in their right mind would willingly participate in a death game?" but this does a good job of showing how desperate they are

[@zeeo3147]
