the big one was in episode 2 when the bad guys send everyone home to have a real chance to opt out of the game (after 200 people are killed lol). the main character goes to the police but is written off as a crazy person. if this was irl though you would have 200+ people all going to the police with the same story, it wouldn't be ignored. so it was a distractingly stupid plot point (in Would You Rather, there is no chance to opt out of the game once it actually starts). also who the "top bad guy" turns out to be seemed really stupid, and the last episode itself was extremely poorly edited and paced

on the other hand a lot of the reviews concentrated on and trashed very badly the acting of the VIPs, but that didn't bother me at all

Still they were very one-dimensional and all their dialogue was awful, but I think that's more a function of having English scenes in a Korean show -- for the target audience they want the English to be simple/spoken more slowly. Like when you watch a documentary on NHK English and the dubbed voices speak very slowly and emotively. And obviously it was not written by native English speakers -- the word "scumbag" was employed a lot in not quite the right context.

Why was the old guy twist 180? It didn’t make any sense. His life was in actual danger as seen on tug of war, but then the masked guy doesn’t actually shoot him when he loses marbles (he also wasn’t targeted in the first game). Schizophrenic logic

The tug of war is actually one of the more justifiable things because it was the old man who was an elite tug of war expert and gave his team every aspect of the strategy needed to defeat stronger opponents. Either he was very confident in his tig of war performance, or was willing to put his life on the line to feel "alive" in his favorite game. Both are acceptable rationalizations, although the plot twist of him being behind everything was dumb and cheapened the best moment of the show. When he revealed that he wasn't actually senile and gave the main dude the last marble anyway . . .fuck.

He’s the one who called for help during the brawl, it’s not clear when you first see it, but going back, he’s clearly signaling for help when he says he doesn’t feel safe and they immediately come in after.

I thought it was fine, but there were some aspects that I thought were particularly bad.

1. The nighttime melee in the barracks/dorm area didn't make sense. "A few people missed a single meal. Everyone must die tonight!"

2. The VIP acting -- really, the voice acting, editing, and mixing -- was awful.

3. Shooting/blowing up the glass at the end of the bridge game was bullshit. In the rules of their world, winning fairly is winning. Blasting glass at the winning contestants wasn't fair.

4. It was also bullshit for the Front Man to turn off the lights toward the end of the bridge game. They effectively changed the game midstream, which was also inconsistent with the rules of their world.

5. The people running the game knew contestants could return, but they didn't even have metal detectors or good search procedures?

6. It was questionable for Gi-hun to turn around right as he was about to board the plane. He spent the latter part of the episode doing right by other people and keeping promises, he knew the game was ongoing, he wanted to see his daughter, and then he changed his mind. Why? He could have continued his crusade once he got home. And if immediately stopping senseless killings was so important, why did he make it to the airport in the first place? The epiphany didn't seem to have any motivating cause.

I think their point was about making sure the rules were applied evenly and fairly to the contestants (ie no unfair advantages), not that the rules themselves couldn’t change mid game to all the contestants

Mostly cr points though

Every other game had its rules and conditions established at the start. You might randomly get a shitty start (e.g., in honeycombs or tug of war), but there was no subsequent intervention.

It also now occurs to me that mid-game intervention would be bad for betting. So even if you don't buy the Front Man's professed dedication to fairness, the betting seems reason enough to not intervene.

Didn't he run into the card man on the way to the plane? He may have naively assumed that the old man dying meant the games stopped. The card man showed that it was still ongoing and lit a fire under him.

The main character becoming inconsolable over the NK slut's death was absurd. He had watched how many others die by that point? The 2 of them weren't even close. He was willing to trick, betray & kill his best friend the grandpa after losing a fair game of marbles. Why would he be so histrionic over JJC mercy killing a dying NK slut--he barely interacted with her the entire show

I thought it was a little lol any time someone was like "hey! Someone got hurt! Please help!" when people were constantly dying. But in this case I think that over time he had slowly earned her trust and she had really let her guard down toward the end. He was also just down to her and his friend who had turned murderous. She was his last ally and "friend." He was angry at what his friend had become, terrified about what would happen to himself, and all the other anxieties and stress from the games and everything.

I think "betraying" the old man was considered more "understandable" b/c the guy had a brain tumor and if he was suddenly showing that much dementia was going to die very soon anyway.

everyone that went back deserved to die lol. i guess the point is supposed to be that life is so shitty as a poor its worth it but after watching 200 people get wiped out in the first episode they shouldve figured out its not worth it.

the korean josh hartnett cop subplot was kinda dumb. the dood being his brother was kinda dumb. not taking some extra bullets was really dumb. i really hope for koreas sake cops dont actually have to carry a blank.

the old dood really should have pulled a "your 19 marbles arent worth more than my one" it wouldve been cool.

the rich doods being american pissed me off. shouldve just been korean

i wonder if the studio debated doing americanized names for the dubbed version because i literally have no idea what any characters name was.

it's fine, definitely some big holes, but my main problem is the "isolated humans in a savage competition as social allegory" has trope'd out for me. the game, the platform, the beach, snow piercer, parasite, hunger games. lord of the flies was enough.

cr. i actually read the hunger games bc a girl i was dating recommended it. it was the worst book i have ever read, and the movies, to the extent i saw parts of them, were worse. but squid game, while billions of times better clearly took some of its cues from the popularity of the hunger games and will never live that down.

Hunger games stole from a bunch of stuff before it. Squid game is prob closer to Liar Game, which is also pretty damn good

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_Game

I watched squid game as soon as it came out with my gf and we thought it was pretty good. But I’m shocked it’s gotten so big. But then I realize that American audiences aren’t really getting good versions of this type of story and US TV is shit in general. Korea is putting out better TV than anyone right now, but it’s just annoying to have to read subtitles after long working days

before i finished it i mentioned in another thread that 99% of the appeal of the show is just that there is no diversity and it doesnt have to follow a diversity script that is enforced against 100% of american tv shows and movies produced these days. that opened so many more doors for creativity and unpredictability. the jab against americans with the fat billionaires was unnecessary imo but whatever. but its not like theyre doing anything that original, theyre just doing what america used to do but doesnt anymore.

biggest plot hole that hasn't been mentioned: old guy said he really lived in a house with his wife and family that looked like the play area for the marble game. i'm not familiar with SK housing but that looked like an MC wagecuck neighborhood at best. so it's a stretch that he could've (a) become so incredibly wealthy and (b) done it early enough in life that he became bored of his wealth and could alleviate his boredom only by funding a sociopathic mass murder contest.
