Love that this episode is basically Jay and Adam reliving the moments in their life they would have been tempted to participate in the Squid Game.

[@vickylikesthis]

They learn so much about each other this episode. This is hillarious.

[@qdkdicja10]

I’m not a fan of Squid Game at all and the only reason I’m watching this reaction series is because the boys are awesome and I just love their wholesome friendship… so yeah this video made me quite happy 😁

[@meta_marc9499]

Everyone everywhere yelled the exact same way at the precise moment when that guy's hand got crushed in that machine.

[@Retroooze75]

had to rewind that 😭🤣🤣

[@mjgodfrey]

The room where the police guy visited to look for clues to find his brother is called "고시원 (go-shi-won)." It is not really designed for long-term living. The size of the space is just enough to fit a twin-size bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a shower/toilet booth. It is usually rented to people preparing for important exams (for a license, certificate, college or company entry, etc.) or poor people who cannot afford regular housing.

[@emmab5370]

I'm always a little surprised at people's reactions to the room. I've never been to Korea, but it kind of just looks like a university dorm to me. All the better because you don't have to share with a roommate, you get your own private space.

[@diva1675]

Thank you guys for being so empathetic and putting yourself in the characters shoes and actually trying to understand the desperation of their predicament. You understand the purpose of these episodes and the layers behind every moment, every character, and what that means for the stakes and intensity of the rest of the show. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me! You guys are so sharp, and I can see in your faces you guys feeling every bit of each of these characters. Because of that, I thank you because that is what is as audience want to see in reactors so badly but rarely get, so thank you so much for being such brilliant reactors. Thank you. I can tell you guys are true scholars of movie/tv storytelling 😄 Great job!!

[@nancyscogin7549]

That's what I did...just pressed play and cringed the whole series at the horrible voice dubs! Then I start watching reactions and see everyone else has Korean audio and normal English subtitles (not CC which I also had). Now I'm rewatching it the way the film makers intended...much better. Glad y'all are doing this. I got hooked and subbed with your Marvel content.💘

[@michaelallingham4122]

@BrightForest yeah same lol, rather just be able to enjoy watching and understand then read the whole time😂 some people just hate the dubs

[@vegasviking86]

They're hilariously bad sometimes

[@jonghyxn5]

@BrightForest it's because the dubs are trash and they don't really try too hard to make it emotional from what I've seen.

[@thysens]

@BrightForest The issue is that in these voiceover dubs, there isn't a director telling the actors when to be subtly or overly emotional; and therefore the intentional tone of scenes can become misconstrued by dubbing, among many other issues that may arise. I don't think anyone should be shamed for choosing to watch via dub (it is an option for a reason), but it is undeniable that the Korean version is the intended and therefore superior format of the show.

[@jonghyxn5]

@BrightForest for example when the characters shout either the dubbed actors don't shout or they sound annoying.

[@Durkster5]

This is easily my favorite KZbin channel. Every video is really entertaining. Also, the discord is one of the best online communities out there!

I've only stumbled upon them a few weeks ago and I agree. Their banter and chemistry is what I come for, ON TOP of their reaction to whatever their watching.

[@JohnSmith-wd5ml]

Why? They talk way too much about irrelevant things and includes it in the video. Theyre not focused on the show at all. And they keep cracking jokes that isnt really funny. How can they react if theyre not even paying attention. This is a reaction channel right? Not a stand up?

I love that not only did the vote shock me. I had the same thought as you did about how he can’t vote no cause there’s more episodes. But now, every player left in the game went back into it knowing the cost of losing.

It’s really fun watching you guys go through this for the first time. It’s definitely one of those shows that benefits from a re-watching. Also, I vote for an “Adam’s New York Tales” blog episode. This episode gets 4 out of 5 pancake fingers with extra CROOOONCH

I wonder if they ever rewind after they get talking or on a tangent. I enjoy the stories, but it just made me wonder if they pause or just let it keep going or whatever.

[@Noggahide]

I'm happy to see you continued with the original Korean, these actors are so damn good and you can't capture their raw emotion with a dub. Have fun watching this series, one of the best ever... imo.

[@amandadougherty6615]

I am just waiting for that social commentary from Jay on the horrifying aspects of our capitalist society in that the real-life debt situation for each of these folks is the actual “hell” in this series. I am *here* for it. Also, now I want to sign up to be a Lyft driver just to dress up as a Circle Face for Halloween. What a brilliant idea.

@BrightForest And the business man owes over 5 mil. 😳

[@LA_HA]

They're what Vegas calls degenerate gamblers. They put not only themselves in financial and even physical harm, but the people around them because they just Can't help themselves... ... ... You know what? I keep finding Stephen King ties to this show and here's another one -- Remember Cat's Eye with the story of Quitters, Inc? The guy who ran Quitters, Inc had close friends who died because they were addicted to smoking, so that was his impetus for starting such a radical "treatment." What if the person who runs the Squid Game has the same reason? His father was a degenerate gambler, ruined his family's lives, and now, this is how he "helps" them change. After all, a thing in stasis can't be moved unless acted upon by an equal or greater force. The Squid Game is the greater force. Also, maybe I'll get hate for this, but honestly, it's like this show really did take Stephen King's The Long Walk, The Running Man, and Quitter's, Inc, stirred them in a pot, and came out with this show. Just a thought. haha

@@LA_HA I like this angle, very interesting…

@BrightForest I loved that even though he had little to lose, the old man helped the people who wanted to leave. He wasn't selfish about what he wanted. Those people wanted to live, so he gave them the chance even though they decided to go back later. That was a good moment

Great for going with subs and especially the non-CC subs. Alot of reactors are making the mistake of selecting closed caption subs which explains music playing etc, basically made for deaf people. And FYI, the CC subs are not as accurate as it seems they are subs of the dubbed version which is terrible translation in some bits.

I’m glad to watch your reaction of this. I had to watch the dub’d version, some of us unfortunately, have very bad vision and that’s just the way it goes, we can’t read the subtitles quick enough. I still enjoy watching your reaction, even though I can’t really read the subtitles quick enough, I suppose I don’t really need to this time. I want to address the hate from other commenters regarding sub. v. dub. Shame on you. Do you not have parents/grandparents who can’t see well or a friend who has a learning disability? There is a way to state your preferred version without being demeaning to others. You know who you are, may you never be put in a similar position where you don’t have to rely on aid or that you at least grow enough to learn to think before you speak.
