Can we take a minute to appreciate how great Gong Yoo's acting skills are since this show was, I believe, his first time playing this type of psychotic villainous role, and he does such an insanely good job that he deserves a supporting actor award or something?

[@benwarwick4290]

Well certainly ensured he imprinted that grin forever into our minds 😂😂😅😢

[@와우-h9b]

Gong Yoo is one of the most respected and popular movie star in Korea. Go see train to Busan zombie movies then it shows how a method actor he is

[@freelikeyve]

and he is so damn fine. perfect combo of attractive af and talented af

[@tionak]

@@freelikeyveTHIS! Once I got past the distraction that is his beautiful face, I was in awe of the talent!

[@Muckduckly]

He’s one of the most famous people in Korea..we are all just late to the party.

[@queenofcrowleys]

gong yoo is one of the most renowned and highest paid actors in korea. his acting skills are always topnotch!

[@CasualCat64]

Thanks for sharing

[@michaelwolf7840]

For some reason everyone only thinks this is 2 years later but it's actually 3 years later, everyone forgets he lived in poverty for a year after the games ended then went to the airport and after that scene it said 2 years later.

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

Well, you explained it yourself. It’s not “for some reason”, it’s because some people forget. It’s not a big deal, plus I haven’t actually seen anyone say they think it’s been 2 years, but either way, like I said, it’s no biggie.

[@michaelwolf7840]

@thatgirlwearingglasses4133 I've actually watched alot of reactions already, I literally have no life and I haven't actually seen anyone who haven't thought it was just 2 years

[@yolandag8436]

Right! Also does that mean the cop was in a coma for a year?

[@michaelwolf7840]

@yolandag8436 in my opinion there's no time table on the cop that we know of but the facial hair says alot also the regular hair. When it comes to Korean men(I'm not trying to be racist or anything) they grow facial hair alot slower then say someone from the Nordic reigion but his regular hair growth would suggest 3 to 6 months.it also may have taken some time to find the guy who saved him and maybe it also took time before he started spending his weekends looking for a random island in a reigion with thousands of small islands

[@wallopee]

Gong Yoo's acting left my jaw on the floor. Everyone talks about the game scene but I loved the part where he basically trampled the bread, he looked so psychotic and ughhh sooo good

[@knoxxsavage6288]

That final scene where gong yoo is looking into the camera where half of his face has the red light, cover the red side then vice versa and you can see his split personality. Beautifully directed and acted

[@MrHimself98]

Where has it been stated he has a split personality?

[@knoxxsavage6288]

@MrHimself98 it hasn't, that's my assumption based off the editing

[@House_Lamp]

The way they chose to make the Ddakji guy in the subways even more developed as a character was a pretty cool tone setter. Showing he even did some real odd games for his own enjoyment on the side, walking that line of psychological and physical torment on his free time had me buckled in for the season for sure

[@thihaaung647]

How much plot armor does Gi-hun has? The director: "Yes."

[@qdkdicja10]

* have

[@peepinR]

I'm glad u guys are back to watching this. Just FYI S2 and S3 were filmed simultaneously. So no 3 year wait for next season.

[@XiaoJinx-G6]

Who would have thought that Gong Yoo (the recruiter) was just a psychopaths just like the game developers.

[@PandoraStolen]

I mean I knew from the 1st season that he had to lack empathy and was manipulative but I didn't know he was this sadistic. Fascinating to watch. This first episode was top notch and the scene between Gi-hun and the recruiter is a masterpiece in my opinion. Brilliantly written, acted, directed, and the set design, lighting, and cinematography were superb.

[@billykulim5202]

you be a psychopath to if your since young killing and burning 400 bodies everyear, as the recruiter said, he become seing them as trash

[@RenaissanceMotoko972]

Gosh, I love Gong Yoo. Always had (coffee prince, goblin, busan and the other one in space). He always finds a way to cement it even more, coz he always plays well his roles. Love that actor.

[@와우-h9b]

Rock paper scissors minus one has been played in Korea for almost 40 years in Korea and the penalty was giving your opponent a finger smack on the forehead but squid game 2 upgraded with the Russian roulette. Many foreigners may feel it rather new but it has been around Korea for a long time

[@Alfred863]

30:38 This person has double eyelids on one side. Divide the face in half. While it glows red and expresses a psychopathic appearance, the face with double eyelids on the right seems to represent Gong Yoo's kind face in Part 1.

[@cdo22]

At the moment when the recruiter talked to gi hun about admitting gi hun is the same trash, I realized that this game isn't about live or die. It turned into a lethal duel fought for each other's beliefs. The recruiter has broken soul because of his past, family, what he's done for the squid game. He is a psyco now for sure, and he thinks humans are evil. At the same time, he wants to prove that humans are evil and dumb. Gi hun, on the other hand, is believing in human dignity. He knows that those participants from the last game didn't deserve to die for "VIP"s entertainment just because they were poor and desperate. Gi hun wants to break down the castle and capture the vips to put an end to this sick game. That desire for revenge and anger are all gi hun has left, nothing else. He is going to use the blood money to finish his task. Like this, recruiter and gi hun are both insane but standing in opposite directions. That is why neither of them refused or cheated in Russian roulette. No back off. They both want to prove and uphold their own beliefs. The first episode did a marvelous job of portraying these aspects. I love this drama and this episode. Gong Yu, great job. Kudos.

[@belleville1805]

the whole gun play was sickning, I was on my edge the whole time. So great honestly

[@parisparis9928]

I remember thinking why do we have to spend way too much time following the 2 loanshark guys--that got too comedic at times--only to realize that this makes the rock paper scissors scenes hit even harder. Love how they use the same loanshark from S1. Knowing how he was on S1, the show really caught me off guard with him sacrificing himself at the end. Good one.

[@RenaissanceMotoko972]

Never trust the comedic aspect in kdramas! It can switch pretty and deadly quickly!

[@yolandag8436]

I'm not gonna lie I cried for the boss I was expecting him to do his worker dirty 😢

[@walak6832]

First of, I love that the guy helping him was the same guy who broke his nose first episode lol. Also I was so surprised since Mr Kim immediately played, the way he sacrificed himself for his friend, so well done. I’m all in for this season right now. Thanks for giving this to us mid holidays 😁

[@lcaro8]

32:46 Oak's face of PURE DISGUST 😂😂😂😂

[@John_Locke_108]

The tone of this episode takes a hard left 2/3 of the way through. Lots of fun watching you guys laugh at the mob boss and his buddy while the rest of us know what's about to happen. The acting was so phenomenal.

[@SandraMorris51]

Oh you guys are in for a wild ride. Can't wait to see you react to the rest if the season. Personally I loved it.

[@violin01]

Guess this is what happens when Gong Yoo is not a zombie

[@eighthdoctor]

🤣

[@knowledge-girl]

Or a goblin.

[@speakupyt4900]

Squid Game Season2 Ranked #.1 on Netflix in 94 Countries!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nvm-mvn]

GREAT EPISODE... now time to wait a month for the second everyone is putting these out same day its great

[@joon0]

Some interesting points about this episode: 1) You might not have noticed but the leader of the squad Gi-Hun is working with to find the Recruiter is actually the guy we saw chasing Gi-Hun and threatening him in the restroom at the very beginning of the first season. He mentions here that Gi-Hun voluntarily sought him out to pay off his debt and hire him for this job, and you can see how much their dynamic has changed, and it's clear that he holds a lot of respect for Gi-Hun now. 2) I don't ever recall Gi-Hun seeing the Front Man in the first season. Whenever they interacted, it was via phone, or on the one occasion they were in the same space, Gi-Hun was blindfolded. So it's quite odd that Gi-Hun sees the Front Man in his nightmare. Either it's a continuity error, or the two had an interaction that we never saw on screen.

[@lynneko1304]

Could just be some visual shorthand for the audience's sake, rather than Gi-Hun actually knowing what the front man looks like and seeing the front man in his dreams. He could just be seeing some sort of facisimile that his brain conjures, and the audience just sees what we know.

[@dassian]

The recruiter was absolutely amazing in this episode but can we talk about how much Gi Hun has changed since the games? It's so clear even in his face. In the first games his ID picture was this sweet smile, now his face is hard and serious.

[@Lilcutiepie95]

Yes his character arc has been superb

[@celesteblack1803]

This first episode was psychological torture. I was so stressed lmao

[@mnrpg7641]

I can't wait to watch your reactions in the next episodes!! Finished this in one go and all the emotions I felt😂😂😂😂

[@kevinry4n]

Gong Yoo deserves an Oscar for this performance alone, what an actor and what a freaking fun show!! Thank you guys for reacting to this, was already patiently waiting 🙏🏽

[@PandoraStolen]

The Oscars are for films. So he will not get one no matter how brilliant he was in this role. Emmy's are for television series and Golden Globes are for both. So he could get one of those and it would be well deserved.

[@kokemon84]

Sir, this is a tv show. OscarOscars are for movies, lol

[@abdus808]

Gong Yoo went from a friendly smiley sales man, to a psychopathic sinister killer that has no feeling for anyone.

[@hasnahenna6949]

Gong yoo is brilliant!!

[@solitarymaninblack]

Award winning acting at the beginning.

[@jessicabarrett3631]

This truly truly had me pausing to breath between turns while watching this, the TENSION Can't wait to watch y'all's reaction to the entire season

[@dominiqueodom3099]

Now thats how you play Rock Paper Scissors 😂 I actually really liked the Loan Shark Leader. He reeked of being sorta slimy and i expected him to not only take Gi Hun's money but also screw over his right hand man. But not only did he stay true to his word and make his men work for the money they were earning from Gi Hun,but he actually sacrificed his life for his partner. That was definitely a highlight of the season for me. Gong yoo.....give that man an Emmy for a Guest Appearance for this episode. What a performance

[@Mangolite]

See what happens when you get a zombie bite. Gong Yoo was never the same after the Train to Busan. See how insane he became stomping on bread. He could easily hand them out to people experiencing homelessness or menacingly play Rock, Paper, and Scissors with Russian Roulette. Remember, kids, run for your life when there is a zombie outbreak!

[@zoegiselle]

Yall are quick I haven’t even watched it myself! Yet you guys have recorded and edited! 🤎 excited to watch this with you four.

[@R2d2..]

Watched everything in one day 🙏😭

Wasn’t the guy who died in rock paper scissors the loan shark in season 1 ?

Man, this commercial with my man Bob is actually good, love Oak's professional voice :D

This ad was the most symphatic thing ive ever seen. 😂😂😂 Thats cool love it.

I'm soo glad you guys finally started reacting to this exciting season of Squid game, y'all will definitely love the rest of the episodes.

[@sondres5831]

That actor in the dress was phenomenal. I wish we'd see a lot more of him. And that first episode was phenomenal.

[@HealthFitness-r8n]

Am I the only one who thought the opening was gonna lead to a squid game short film since you know he needs money?.?

[@SchneiderRammGirl]

I've not seen S2 so it'll be fun ride watching along with you guys! So excited its back! **Rocks Voice FINALLY!** & Quinn's "if we didn't see it, didn't happen" theory being proven right here ^_^ liked his hiding behind the paper impression 18:18 & interesting new concept Gong Yoo did with Bread/Lottery, I think mosy people chose Ticket cause bread only feed them for a day but money could feed them for longer. I've never seen 'Rock Paper, Scissors' played like that before! That & the 'Russian Roulette' game with Gong Yoo/Seong was intense but brilliantly acted, Seong showing NO fear! Great start to season! Well worth the wait! 😁💙❤️💚

I’ve always called them scratchers too and I’m in the US. Everyone I know does. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone in passing call them scratch offs lol

[@TheFinalBoss_]

Oak, to answer your question I believe the green tubes you see when recruiter is starting the record are vacuum tubes seen on specific types of amps used with turntables. No poison there haha.

Sequels of shows when you think you know the gimmick are hard to create, but this episode pulled it off! Even though we know our protagonist won't kick the bucket, let alone on ep1, the intensity, mystery, and darkness were excellent!

[@BobRyansaul]

Oak's face didn't change after guy shot himself.

Nice Ost...." Time to say Goodbye"

[@punkrockpollyanna7829]

I've been listening closely and I'm pretty sure Gi-hun is pronounced with a hard g (like in grape or gorilla.) I know it doesn't follow English pronunciation rules, but in Korean most Gs are hard sounds and can be interchanged or melded with the K sound.

This episode is the foundation of this season. This concept of bread is lottery isn’t random, it’s intentional. Have this in mind while watching the other episodes when the games starts.

he infiltrated the car that picked up the players. disguised as a worker and never really left the island I think?

Never been this fast! HAHAHA

[@Bananies12]

Great first episode! 👏 now I am NO expert on this, but is there a log somewhere of dates with tide direction and speed? He was trying to send a text message right before he went in the water; so if he has ANY indication as to what day and time it was when he went in and how long it was before he was rescued, could he calculate location from there? I've only watched episode 1, and I'm just brainstorming 🤣 Edit: I think Quinn might have said something relating to this in the outro🤔

[@danielrjschwartz9301]

s2 is here so happy

[@Trueo9re]

Pretty sure the recruiter must have been a winner of Squid Games. He comes across sadistic enough to win it.

[@cheapPixel]

I actually think it's more compelling that he's not a winner. He's doing it purely for the love of the game and the rush that comes with power.

[@PandoraStolen]

He said it himself he was a soldier. Not a winner. Not everyone connected to the games was a previous winner.

[@Trueo9re]

@@PandoraStolen ...they're all soldiers what are you talking about. Every Korean male has to do 2 years in the army.
