if i had a nickle for every time I saw a fully dressed asian guy have an existential crisis in a bathtub, I would have two nickels which isn’t alot but its weird that it happened twice

Everyone hates Sang-woo, but lets be honest he’s the most realistic character in the show.

If you hated him that means he was really good at acting

Something's off about Pink Guy.

I dislike Sang woo for what he did to Ali and Sae Byeok, but I love him as a character. He did care for Ali beforehand, but ultimately chose self preservation in the end (for obvious reasons). In fact, I feel like the majority of his character boils down to self preservation. He put his mom’s business on the line for it, even. And idk I just think he’s really neat😭

am i the only one who thought it would be a good twist if he won

My mind went straight to joji with that scene

Sang Woo is an anti-hero. My favorite type of characters. An extremely complex character, who depending on the situation can be both good and bad, on the side of the protagonist, and against him, which is making them even more relatable, realistic and human-like. He isn't afraid to lie, manipulate, steal or kill. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal - to survive.

He is the best written character in the show.

I like how most people are disgusted by his actions but in reality most of y’all would’ve done the same thing if you were in his position Among all the characters he seems the most realistic. We all wish to be like Gi-Hun and think we could do the right thing, but the amount of chances Gi-Hun got was too lucky and not realistic, in a real scenario you would have to be a Sang Woo to survive and in reality we are all mostly Sang Woo by nature; all wishing to do the right thing but left with limited options that forces us to become something we don’t want to be or die

this is the sang woo edit i was looking for

I think a lot of us can relate to Sang-Woo. Drowning in our own suffering, consequences, iniquities.

Imagine if sang woo won. He would be exactly what a front man should be like

how can i Hate and Love this character at the same time 😭

I hate how people despise Sang Woo for doing what he did to Ali while at the same time like and support Gihun, a man who took advantage of an old man's dementia just to survive a game he would've lost. He was the most morally grey character in the whole show and definitely one of the favorite

the risk of being an actor is that when you too good to act as an antagonist till you got so many haters after the movie published

Bro I swear when I first saw squid game and him in the bathroom trying to kill himself I jus played slow dancing in the dark in my head and it matched perfectly 😭

Man, I loved Sangwoo and found him relatable. So many people perceive him as undeserving of sympathy compared to the other contestants without considering what the pressure of growing up in poverty, lucking out and ending up intelligent or talented in some way and expected to basically 'save' your family and carry the hopes and dreams of your whole family/community from early childhood does to you; how it ingrains in you that your only value is your academic success and how you manage to please/impress those around you, you can never ask anyone for help or admit failure without feeling like an imposter who's 'lost' your status and worth, you're the one who's meant to be competent and can't lean on anyone else, etc. All things we very clearly see in Sangwoo, like how he straight up tries to kill himself in the 2nd episode and pathologically lies to keep his mother happy and remain 'the pride of Ssangmun-dong' to her, pushes himself to play in a death game and desensitizes himself to do more and more fucked up things that clearly fucked with him all to have her never know the truth and not let her down, he also frequently brushes off Gihun whenever he brings up his childhood and keeps him at arms length, only in the last few moments he's alive is he genuinely vulnerable with his friend. None of his haters seem to consider him a victim of intergenerational poverty either because they probably think he's too "smart" for that (which isn't how intergenerational poverty works of course). The writer of Squid Game also said that Gihun and Sangwoo are essentially 2 sides of himself; Gihun being poor and raised by a single mother and Sangwoo going to the same university he did after growing up that way carrying those huge expectations (and Hwang Dong-hyuk says he also struggled financially after going to SNU). I am surprised by how little most people understand him and just view him as some greedy sociopath or 'evil' instead of someone flawed and burdened by expectation who clearly felt guilty about almost every move he made (and also might be a gambling addict like Gihun, just with stocks instead of bets) and someone who acted realistically in a terrible situation, and also ultimately cared about Gihun in spite of trying so hard not to, to be pragmatic and view everything in objectives, and of course for his mother.

Sang Woo is a well written character. He wants to maintain moral superiority and not come off from his high ground but when faced with an ultimatum, falls victim to stronger desires, tarnishing his image. It’s easy to judge his actions but we all have difficulty trying to live life with virtue because of the feelings attached to our desires. It was implied that he was untrustworthy at the start when he was discovered to be sucking money out of people’s pockets. You wouldn’t have expected it from him given that he would’ve had a bright future after attending a prestigious university. He had probably intended to uphold his high moral standards and work his way up to try to earn a prosperous career, but he ultimately abandons them when he’s enticed with the prospect of big money.

Dude this is just great, there isn’t even mass effects or anything but oh my god this song fits him so much and he is so drowned in the thought of self preservation and sadness it’s just so depressing to think about.

sang woo is the most understandable character but people just don’t understand him. He is one of the best characters in squid game

park haesoo is so gorgeous omg

this is the best sang woo edit ever

I love how the first 'dark' in the chorus matches Gi-Hun's cry

My fav character, he has the realest personality

I can't hate this man..he was my favourite character..

I loved him, this just make me appreciate him more 😣

no fucking way this is awesome

Still don't know why people hate him. All his actions were justified given the context.

Netflix please we need a movie about his life

I honestly don't consider Sang Woo to be a vilain. Yes what he did throughout the game was awful and I hated him at times, but I realized that most of us can relate to him, even myself. Humans are complex. People aren't exclusively bad or good. That's why I appreciate his character, even though I love Ali. He certainly made the show interesting.

Sang Woo is so fucking FINE ughshsjsnshmhsjabxb I love this edit

He’s the best and the only winner because of his logic,he think every time how out of trap never looking back to the costs and didn’t do anything stupid

the actor haesoo park did such a great job, plus he's hot☺

he was probably the most realistic character in the show. let’s be honest, we would all be like him in his situation.

My favorite character. He tried to calculate and think logically and just wanted to win at any cost since he knew there only be one winner

SCREAMING CRYING FARTING DYING RIPPING MY HAIR OUT THIS IS SO GOOD

There should be a secret/alternate ending where Sang Woo wins the game and then meets his mother. I'd pay go see that.

Ppl hate him cuz of him trying to survive. Put urself in his shoes

The constant flickering to the beat hits hard. Amazing.

Thank you - this was beautifully edited and made. For me, Sang Woo was just as deserving (if not more) of winning Squid Game as Gi-Hun. He was the smartest one there and understood the only way to survive was to play logically and without emotion. I don't think he was a bad man, but the circumstances and life pressures forced him to crime and desperation. He gave Ali the bus fare after all even though he was drowning in debt himself, and I believe he cared a lot about Gi-Hun. He wasn't afraid either to admit that his actions were to keep him alive only and not his team. It was each man for himself. Anyway... I wish he had survived, and I wish people understood him more. 🥺

Only bad bitches acknowledge Sang Woo was the rightful winner of this game 👌👌👌

He is one of the most beautifully made characters in this game

sang woo is my favorite character, he was well written

Sang-woo, favorite character of the whole show

Let's be honest, Sang-Woo deserved the victory as the same way as Gi-hun, i mean he was rational instead of lucky.

His character is just so dark. I love it.

This song fits him so well...

sangwoo is my favourite character ngl i was shocked when i found out that everyone hated him 😭

most might disagree with Sang-Woo actions, but many would do the same things he did in the game.

This is making me like him now he was depressed guy

I kept on watching solely for this DILF of a character 🥵

Sang wo was my favourite character in the squid game✨

Some people hated Sang woo withour knowing he's the most realistic character in the Movie he didn't want to die he wanted the money he was sad ali died and then he realised it at the end and killed himself

i actually like sang-woo and it's kinda irritating how i get hated for it, i mean he was a good character despite betraying ali, but he did have a point for ending sae byeok's suffering. i don't know, i liked him from the start, i guess it's just the vibe of him being mistreated just because he's a university student, when really no one tries to see what he's actually done. kinda reminds me of myself. my family puts me in a high position but they are downright disgusted when i give them feelings of irritation and upsetness. like sorry, i have feelings too

It's a hard decision between him and Gi-hun. I only chose Gi-hun over him because he knew both Sang's mother and Sae's brother. Gi-hun could take care of both of them, and he did. Not to mention his daughter. Killing himself is the smartest thing Sang has done.

Tbh sangwoo is such an relatable character.

i don't know what it was about this edit, but the way you matched up the clips really puts sangwoo's life in perspective. by the end it was apparent that he did in fact feel guilty and shameful of his actions but he had gone to a point of no return and knew that there was no way for him to go back to normal life. his last words were especially quite heartbreaking tbh. "when we were kids, we would play just like this and our moms would call us in for dinner. but no one calls us anymore." it really shows how lonely sangwoo felt like he was, and also how isolating and depressing adult life can be. and his "i'm sorry" afterwords felt like a plead of forgiveness for one last time, because he was well aware that he wasn't going to be forgiven anyway. sangwoo is perhaps the most realistic character in the series and also quite captivating and full of depth in comparison to gihun (personally i think) thank you so much for making this edit, it actually made me shed a few tears lol i guess i've grown quite attached to him.

this song fits Sang-Woo perfectly, my god

exactly what i was looking for

he makes me so happy but the song and bathtub scene make me want to cry for literally 4 hours❤️

*Everybody talking about sangwoo* *me: “how is this so cool and on beat AND UNDERRATED ASF!?”*

I love to fall in love with a character and explore how creative Ya'll are with it amaaaazing

This is very underrated omg

I am disgusted by Sang-Woo’s actions, but his character was the most realistic.

I liked Sang Woo more than the MC. Sang Woo didn't visit his mom because he didn't want to put her in danger and make her life miserable. The MC on the other hand fully exploited his mother and made her life miserable.

Wow. Very well done, I loved Sang-woo's realism in the show. Yes I know he betrayed Ali, that was horrible, but I'm really happy Sang-woo was written so well. He has so much depth to him, I rewatched the show 3 times and I'm still trying to figure him out! Joji's song was a perfect fit for the edit.

My fav character

One of my fav characters

i am a certified sangwoo enjoyer

You can hate sangwoo for everything but a lot of you would do the same thing he did if you were in real life/death situations

best character

MY HEART BROKE IF SEEING SANGWOO ON THE BATHTUB SCENE

He is the broken hero.

ngl he is probably my fav character in the series.

his character broke me

This was a masterfull edit, I really liked how the cuts were achronological. It really got me thinking about Sang woo as a character though. The music/edit definitely makes the final battle hit different, the emotion and confusion between these two old friends

i hate how i thought of this immediately when i saw the scene

this is a masterpiece

fav edit ever

captured. and executed. perfectly. 🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑

Sang woo is my favourite character from squid games, i somehow relate to him

Most intelligent character in squid game

Remember Sang woo was not EVIL He was Smart

Girls are simping for this guy.

This is the best sangwoo edit I have seen till date!!!!

This video is very GOD.

Sang Woo really was kill or be killed and that’s the game boi

Im probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but he was my fav character

OMG this edit is wonderful 😍 Sangwoo is a greatly written character, icant get myself to hate him

He did what he had to do,they all did

I was thinking about this song lately and this pop up, what a perfect combo

A lot of expectations, feel pressured thats why he will do everything. Oh Sang woo... i love you in prison playbook, quantum physics and Berlin.❤❤❤❤

he just wanted to survive😔

I want a show about Sang-woo's life before Squid Game

Wow this fits so perfectly its like it was actually in the Show!!!

I don't want a friend (just me) I want my life in two (my life in two) Just one more night Waiting to get there Waiting for you (all night) I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you) When I'm around slow dancing in the dark Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms You have made up your mind I don't need no more signs Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? (Can't you see?) I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark When you gotta run Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you) Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you) Doing so great (so great, so great) You Used to be the one (used to be the one) To hold you when you fall Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall) I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone) I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home) Can it be one night? Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark In the dark Dark

It’s hard to be in this guys shoes. Everyone looks so high of you and despite tried your best, you failed and nothing wrong with that but the pain to let others down… Especially to your family. End up we push ourselves to a breaking point. What drove this guy to do what he did ultimately is money. He is trapped deeply with money I hate high expectations. I still want to do my best but it’s ok to fail.
