I'm glad you guys recognized that they preyed on these people. I've seen far too many people give the people in charge of the games a pass just because the players "chose" to come back. A choice where you feel trapped and desperate is not a choice, and the people in charge of the games were absolutely taking advantage of these peoples' desperation.

[@TheHutt0326]

Yes. I saw this interview and I think this is a really good way to describe it. It comes across on screen very well in my opinion. Makes sense considering the backgrounds of the characters.

[@cemarz]

Slight incorrect statement. They said Gi-Hun thinks they got there because of other people helped them (not sacrifices). And Sang-Woo thinks he got there because he was smart, clever and ruthless. This is important because these two characters are about people struggling to be who they want to be. Both men are wrong. Sang-Woo needed to basically cheat and betray the helpful rich man he wants to be. And Gi-Hun ends up needing to take action. Both men break by doing so.

[@ranniwolves]

@@ewanholme1687 that's pretty much the point of the character. Selfless, ruthless arrogant twat. But the original comment was right. It is kinda realistic the route he is taking. Every main character in this show has an arc that comes full circle. Sang woo starting out as this really smart guy who we want to root for then does some questionable things along the way that shows his true identity. Gi-Hun is one where you were kind of rooting for at the start but we will saybthat he is a terrible son etc. Then he comes full circle for parts of the show etc. Deok-Su died in the hands of min....can't remember her name, and she promised that if he betrays her, she will kill him, and she does. The show was just absolute top notch writing that explore each character. After all, Gi-Hun is the most human out of the lot after being the selfish one at the start.

[@spiral5650]

@@jasonnewman1118 it may be a realistic route but only for some people, not for all. That's why you have the dichotomy between him and Gi-Hun #456. Even in the worst of places with the worst of odds, you can still 'choose' to be decent. Sang-woo chose to continue to put himself above ALL others, even his closest childhood friend. That's says a lot about him but also those who try to justify that type of thinking and behaviour.

@@spiral5650 It says that real people who would never kill anyone in real life just appreciate a well crafted fictional character? You're overthinking this lol.

It's the characters that made it better and their will to actually made the decision to come back. That's why eps 2 is so critical.

First off, I want to say I absolutely LOVE you guys. Omg, one of the best duos for a reaction channel. Thank you for actual emotions and not over eggagerated ones. 😊😊 Now, as for Sang-Woo ending the suffering of Sae-byeok, was it a horrible scene to watch, yes, but at the end of the day, he ended her misery. She was suffering while bleeding out and dying. I look at his actions as if you are putting down a lame horse or a house pet that is in agony and needs to have it end. Then again, I also see what Sang-Woo and his violent moves in a game of literal life or death are exactly how most people would react. Even the ones claiming they wouldn't. The game is legit about your own life or someone else's, and I do have empathy for the ones who died due to Sang-Woo and his actions, yet it was do or die.

it’s so crazy how the insinuates that we are also the VIPs in the way we watch and enjoy this show. i was “betting” on Sae Byeok to win and i’m upset at the fact and the way she died. you’re right, stellar acting also, adam: “kill her to death” lol

[@sarah4hp]

I think that falls flat when you recognize that this is fiction, and the VIP's are enjoying watching the killings irl, and live too, while most of us enjoy the characters backstories, and what happens between the games etc. - in short the things the VIP's wouldn't care about at all as they can't even be bothered to read about that. So while I keep seeing people comment this. and try to present it as this deep and meaningful thing, I just can't buy into that premise at all. With Sae Byeok it is the fact that I cared about her, and that it breaks my heart how she was betrayed by someone she just saved by stopping him from being killed in his sleep, and that she will never be reunited with her mom and her brother, or get to see that island that gets me. The VIP didn't get upset number 69 hung himself because he cared that he had just lost his wife, or about potential kids on the outside etc., merely because he had bet 1 million dollars on him and had now lost that money. That is also a pretty HUGE difference. I cared more about a fictional character dying in a TV-show I was watching than they do about real life human beings in THEIR world. So no, we are NOT "VIP's" at all.

[@heliopaws]

The look of vengeance on Jay's face at 12:58.

[@ianw0ng]

my theory is the frontman was a cop, hence he knew a lot about police procedural (besides having a cop bro also). 2 things then come to mind: either he's still a cop deep deep undercover(could be cool, but highly unlikely since the game observes all and sees all)..OR.. he was a cop heavy in debt just like the rest and got pulled into the game. and if he had won, that means he would have killed his competitors, and having tasted such power over people, perhaps he wanted more. The oldman saw this, recognized his potential n manipulated him to serve. and the rest happened just like to that jedi apprentice long ago, in a galaxy far away.

[@ShadowWolf1982]

Wow, spoilers?!

[@rugr82day]

Please don't spoil. You've got one. But yes those who can read Korean said in the books In-ho's bio said he was a cop. So continuing to live in a tiny apartment is a good cover.

I hadn’t even thought the front man could be a cop or undercover, that’s a good angle. I thought he was either a “bad guy” on the outside and hid it from his family OR the people in charge have him working for them “or else” maybe hurt his family or kill him. Because he knows too much? Season 2!!!

They cannot afford Gi-hun and Sae-byeok at any point invoke game rule number 3 to end it all.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

Adam pretty much nailed it on the review. The reason we care so much about the characters is - in his essence and equal to all - the fact that all of them have financial problems, which is something everybody understands (some more, some less). But we all know how it works or know someone that is going through it. Also the backstories, character development and arcs are well done, they are not two-dimensional characters waiting to die. They all have, even the ones we barely knew, something that makes us connect (obviously the ones we got to see more then just a few scenes). One example is the couple. We barely saw them in one or two episodes and we understand their struggle, why the husband committed suicide and how twisted the situation is. Also, we all understand the corruption of money and how people change when millions are on the line. It happens in real life, so many bosses just don't care if their employees have enough to eat, as long as they get a big house and a bunch of Ferraris. Or how many stories we read or listen about that one family member that won the lottery and ran away with all the money. Or in my personal experience, a friend of my uncle that was left bankrupt after his father passed away and his uncle ran with all the money his father made on a factory they ran together. So like Adam said, we all understand the situation and the layers they put on top of that makes us be super-engaged. Jay was extra mad with Sang-Woo killing Sae-Byeok because she already had the sacrifice from Ji-Yeong so she could help her brother and mother. All of that dream went down the drain because of Sang-Woo... Because we as viewers care about those dreams too and the unfairness of the situation boils our blood. Especially after what he did to Ali.

I was keepin it together until "not even a SMORE????" and now I gotta take a break to regroup, you guys are so great at content 10/10

I still find it weird that this show became so mainstream popular. I’m a big KDrama fan, especially their thrillers, and now everyone is suddenly into something I’ve known was good for ages. It’s like “Yeah it’s good, where you all been?”

I really appreciate Jay taking my advice and dropping "full" from his "edited reaction" part of the patreon promo. Thank you Jay! And you forgot trifle in the dessert list. Yum Yum!

Nothing in Squid Game is fully original, but it's also so unique at the same time because of it's aesthetic and presentation.

Can't wait for your reaction to squid game season 2

Interesting thing about the Frontman is that he used to be a cop/detective just like his younger brother Jun-Ho. There was a profile on him in Korean when the detective was looking for his brother's info in the file room. I wonder how the Frontman ended up there...

What is messed up is that if Sae Byeok had let Gi Hun kill Sang Woo like he planned, and he was successful, then Gi Hun would have automatically become the winner and Squid Game would have ended before the final game. Sae Byeok was already mortally wounded so she would have died anyways which meant Gi Hun wouldn't have to kill her (I think if he did it would scar him for life) or they could have voted to end the game and get her medical treatment. They could have literally ended Squid Game on day 5. I doubt the pink men/black mask would step in to treat her and keep her alive for the final game if it were down to her and Gi Hun. For anyone who didn't know, Black Mask guy is Lee Byung Hun who played Storm Shadow in the GI Joe movies with Channing Tatum and he was also in Red 2 (Bruce Willis). I got so happy after the reveal because he is one of my favorite Korean actors. This cameo and Gong Yoo's (episode one with the Ddakji/slapping game) is what made this show top tier for me.

18:46, By not enjoying desserts, Korean's stay healthy and thin, for the most part and relatively speaking, ofc. Also, if you know anything about SK, meals are more of a sustenance than an enjoyment. That's why the small sized meals within the games. If you think about it, in this version of the Squid Game, no one was really big.

When the detective is on the phone and his boss says "what did you do" it always sat a bit off with me. I think the police (at least the higher ups) knew of the Squid Games.

I subscribed because of the dessert rant. Keep it coming!

[@alexkramerblogs]

Adam sitting back and just letting Jay unwind on both the meta perspective, and the desserts listing was hilarious. Just sit back and thinking "Dems the good content"

[@randommodnar103]

The most important question, "No desserts?"
