The worst part is that Sae-Byeok and Ji-Yeong couldn't go to Jeju island together 😫

Saddest death to me would be Ali's, man had a whole family back home waiting for him. But sang-woo tricked him, and betrayed him. I will never forget the realization he had when he saw the "marbles" were actually rocks. Betraying somebody who trusts you so much. Disgusting. And Ali was so ready to find a way to get them BOTH out. He was so dedicated to the friendship it's so upsetting to see him die because of Sang-Woo's selfishness.

The saddest part for me was when Ji-Yeong sacrificed herself and died losing the marble game, which was closely followed by Ali's death.

I started this show from all of the hype I heard, and I was not disappointed one bit, it's such a well written story.

Gi-hun entered the games with the widest smile but with no money; he left the games billions of Won richer, yet he's at his most miserable-which is such a tragedy. And Gong Yoo should play more villain roles.

the fact that the old man voted to stop the game in the earlier episode but still they all came back it shows how he gave them a chance and everything it makes much more sense now after the ending

I was honestly bawling my eyes out for almost every death after the marble games, even for Sang-woo when i realised that he wasn't the villain, but simply a victim of the harsh circumstances thrust upon him.

I might be over thinking, but the horse racing was foreshadowing a hint for the winner of squid game. The 2 horses that were close to the finish, at the final race, were numbered 8 and 6. Sung-woo's number ended with an 8 and Gi-hun's number ended with a 6. Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I think it makes sense.

Ali’s death just proves how harsh reality is, that people take advantage of kind hearted people, he was my favorite character, he was a literal innocent cinnamon roll, he could have just left Gi Hun to die in the first game but he didn’t, he saved his ass, and on the marble game, he could just leave and win but no, he considered Sangwoo’s suggestion because he valued their ‘friendship’ goddammit Ali why must you dieee

the twist of the game in episode 6 had me shook where everyone picked someone theyre close with but then learned they had to play against each other it was such a sad episode too :(

Omg Ali dying was the worst for me. Like when he cried out “Sang-woo” when he realized he betrayed him that gave me chills. I heard the betrayal in his voice. I started crying even harder. I never wished that a hero would step in a save the day so hard in my life. Love live Ali Abdul ✊🏽♥️♥️

The ending annoyed me, I was yelling at my TV. After all that he ditched his kid... That just really bothered me.

This movie had humanity, not just gore, and that’s why I loved it

I feel so bad for Ali. He was too trusting. He was a sweetheart, with his overly formal Korean.😭

All the character's death were already foreshadowed in Episode 2. Ali is eliminated because sang-woo took his marble the same as he took his boss money. Deok-su jumped on the bridge and was eliminated in the game by falling off the bridge. Sae-byeok die because she was stabbed on her neck same as she threatened someone with a knife on their throat. Sang-woo almost commit suicide in the bathtub and was eliminated from the game by killing himself. Also, the old man died from a brain tumor. Gi-hun swore on his mother's life, and his mother died in the end. Wow.

Episode 6 is one of the best I've ever seen. Crazy how people like Ali don't have much backstory but their death felt so bad people like myself who can't remember the last time they've cried from TV/Movies bawling their eyes out

Ali's death was heart-breaking. But I think Saebyeok's death was the most devastating for me. From the first episode, I just got the feeling that she was thrust into a life which placed immense weight on her shoulders. The way she stopped Gihun from killing Sang-oo by reminding him that he's not that kid of person; The way her cold exterior shattered when the other girl deliberately threw the game to let her win. Despite having to endure violence and make threats of violence herself to survive, she saved someone else from going down that road.

you didn't explain anything you just summed up the series. Kudos for the clickbait.

I cried when the old man knew all along that Gi-Hun was taking advantage of him and still “sacrificed” himself.

Remember the guy who was paired with his wife in the marble game.We know that if everyone votes and quit the game the money is sent to the families of deceased ones.The fact that he was urging everyone to vote and quit after the marble game shows how perspective plays a role throughout the series. Some see his decision as a symbol of love for his wife and some see it as a symbol of greed. Same goes in life too. Our perspective decides our opinions.

i knew sang woo was gonna turn out to be a villain when he didn't say anything to gi hun in the sugar honeycomb game even though he had knowledge about the game beforehand

The saddest death to me was either 240's or Sae-byeok. 240's death was very sad for me because she gave up her life for Sae-byeok after talking with her for half an hour. Sae-byeok's death was also very sad because her brother was now alone and he didn't know where she was. Those are the only 2 times I cried in the show...

What's really funny is that all the games are literally drawn in the players' room, for everyone to see, that is, everyone could see what the games would be.

another thing I realized is I feel like the reason Gihun cares for the old man so much is not because its the main characters sticking together plot, but i think he sees the old man as a chance to make up the broken relationship he had with his own mom that was that same age.

The Director of Squid Game said in an interview "I wanted to create a sense of connection between nostalgic games we (Koreans) played in our childhood and the sense of never-ending competition that modern adults feel" He added "There's an irony in our most beautiful and innocent memories being changed into the most horrifying reality"

I was suspicious of the old man the whole season honestly he came around to much and knew way to much about how to survive every game especially when he kept running after everyone was gunned down in the first game with a smile on his face. I instantly said “dementia don’t work like that 🤣🤣” mans completely ignored the mass murder happening

I thought it was interesting how all of the games were drawn on the walls the whole time. Just hidden behind those beds. All of those tricks to find out what the next game was and it was there the whole time.

To give Sang-woo some credit, everything he does is in respect to his goal of getting his mother money. Not only has he resolved to betray and kill others, but even to kill himself in the end knowing that Gi-Hun will get his mom the money. As sad as the Ali death was, he knows that if he doesn't snake him that everything will be for naught; he'll be dead and unable to help his mom with no guarantee that the winner is someone who will either. By the time they're doing the bridge game, I think he has realized that there will likely only be one winner in the end. It was sad to see Sae-byeok die but it was basically a mercy kill given the circumstances... I think Gi-Hun's blind optimism wasn't considering that she'd been bleeding heavily for hours. He did awful stuff but he was the only one who achieved his goal out of all the players, even if he didn't survive.

Man what a spin on the innocent childhood games I grew up playing!! AND ALIIIII.. They did him so wrong my heart dropped.. He was one of my favorite characters 😭😩

Ali’s death probably had me the saddest So messed up how he went Probably my favorite character Also the husband & wife who ended up having to go up against each other…resulting the husband hanging himself Brutal I know there’s some controversy on why both of them were there together in the first place But that shit still cut deep The human emotion this show makes you feel is unreal

This series taught me to not gamble and be honest more than my schools and parents ever did

To define roles bit better I think ◯ - Worker △ - security ◻ - supervisors

So much character devoplment, the marble game hit me in the feels. Was so invested. Shows like AHS could learn a lot.

Just a little trivia all of their deaths are actually foreshadowed in the beginning. Dok su jumped off the bridge and that’s how he died; Ali robbed his boss’ s money and he died because Sang woo stole his marbles; Sang woo tried to kill himself before but he ended up killing himself; Saebyeok tried to kill the guy who scammed her by pointing a knife onto his neck and she died with a neck stab wound; and lastly Gi-Hun swear with his mom’s life , after the game his mom died. What a brillant storyline! And also leaves you thinking of possibilities and what’s gonna happen next. Hope that there are big twists on season 2

I don’t understand the ending. Gi-hun had 1 month to pay off his debt but Il-Nam said that he didn’t use any of the prize money when they met again. How did he sort out the situation with the loan sharks then?

I was confused why they didn't show what happened between the husband and wife during the marble game, that seems like it would have been great drama to see how they decided the wife would be the one to be sacrificed instead of the husband (I'm assuming she chose to sacrifice herself instead of them playing the game).

Squid Game made me feel all sorts of emotions. The cast is made up of one of the best actors. 👏

I was hoping that Gi-Hun would have distributed part of his cash prize to Ali's family as well since Ali saved his life in the very first game. It's rather unsettling to see Sang-Woo's family receiving such a huge share of the prize while Ali's family members are still trapped in poverty and hardship after seeing Sang-Woo heartlessly betray Ali who trusted him so much and was so kind to him. Hope Gi-Hun remembers Ali and fairly compensates Ali's family in the next season.

The 7th floor scene was the 7th game. There was a time, and Ill-Nam lost as he died. Ilnam was absolutely convinced on the selfish nature of humans and that they possessed views that the lives of others was of little significance compared to their gains (which is why he voted for them all to go home as he was convinced they would eventually come back). he probably made a similar bet(probably more elaborate when he wasnt confined to his deathbed) and endowed this ideology to the guy in the black mask when he won in 2015, causing him to forfeit his life(symbolically die) and become devoted to Ilnam and help run the games. I am thinking that the guy in the station with the red and blue tags is another previous winner/devotee that has lost the 7th game to Ilnam. (these are my speculations, the show doesnt really suggest this) But with the case of gihun, he is a broke fool who seems to have a childish innocence contrary to the events surrounding him and it is initially presented as his biggest character flaw. But in essence his character is living proof against ilnams convictions of the world, which is why ilnam lost the final bet. Characters are undone by their flaws If there is an underlying theme in this show, it is that the characters are all undone by their flaws. -After the first game when the characters resume their lives before reentering the game, Sangwoo tries to commit suicide by drowning himself in his tub, he ends up killing himself in the same position with rain falling on his face, his flaw being that he would rather avoid his problems til the end than face them. He is extremely capable and clever but refuses to own up to his mistakes and relies on unethical means to fix them (He would rather commit suicide than confront his mother about his wrongdoings). -Saebyuk threatens the broker at knife point to the neck and she dies with a stabwound to the neck in the same spot, her flaw is her unrealistic/childish expectations (she still takes the broker's words and says she will get the money/her expectations of being with her illegal North Korean parents who have been arrested and sent back/ wanting to live normally with her family which is her motivation in the whole game) -Ali is taken advantage of by his employee and ends up having to resort to using his strength to forcibly take his money and ends up crushing his employer's hands. He dies by sangwoo taking advantage of his naivety and stealing his marbles. His biggest flaw is that he is naïve and too trusting. (it is also implied that he has lost fingers in a similar way while working for the scumbag employer showing how naive he was) -The gangster dude has to jump off a bridge at a dead end of his own making. He dies falling off a bridge treading on glass steps. His flaw is acting wrecklessly for his own gains at the cost of others, only to have it fall back on him. Every single character in the show dies without recognizing and surpassing their flaws, in fact you could say their deaths are their own doing. The Red herring The image in the last round of the games With GiHun fighting Sangwoo with a knife(and sneakily throwing sand in his eyes) is a stark contrast between his character in episode one with his childlike innocence(refer to the smile for his profile). We as viewers assume that he has developed and overcome his flaw to prevail as any main protagonist would And it would have also tied up the social commentary of the show nicely, albiet would have been a tragic one of how growing up in society we often end up abandoning our humanity. The show sets you up to believe that that is the main theme of the show and what is being represented by the game and its participants until the very last moment. but its not with a series of plotwists he tries to forfeit the money to save sangwoo (even though it doesnt work) and it ultimately shows that he remains the innocent protagonist we saw in the beginning at this moment as viewers we get to see that Gihun has not gone through the character development we anticipated. Afterall, most of us had already realized that the last game would be the squid game as shown in the first scene in the show where there could only be one winner and incapacitation of the other player would not be avoidable. But Gi-hun does win. He is the last surviving player yet he has not changed in any meaningful way a protagonist would have to overcome their endeavors, but just ends up as a broken man (the money loses value to him). It is a stark plot twist of its own It is also important to note that Gihun has won the game without killing a single person. His attempt to trick ilnam with the marbles does not get fully realized as being murderous as ilnam points out he knew he was being tricked, just before giving him the last marble as a sign of forgiveness/respect. He beats up sangwoo with murderous intent but ends up forfeitting in an attempt to save him. He swears he will kill Ilnam if he wins the bet but Ilnam draws his final breath upon losing, taking revenge away from him and preserving his "innocence." The true flaw and the real herring Upon rewatching it is clear what Gihun's main character flaw really is and it is further clarified with the last few scenes that his flaw is his drive to get back at those who have wronged him. -When he finally wins against the man in the station, he automatically assumes to hit him when the rules was that he would get money instead. -When he promises not to harrass the girl for his stolen money if she unties him and he falls back on that as soon as she cuts his arms free. - When he realizes Ilnam was the mastermind behind the games he says to him that he will die by his hands if he wins the last bet. -And finally when he stops the new recruit from calling the number by using force and taking the business card from him.Hhe recognizes how much he regrets entering the game himself and how gravely wronged he was by being talked into it. This realization is so strong that he ends up forfeiting his new life with his daughter to find those responsible. The physical representation of change shown as the new hairstyle/color is a red herring to falsely signify that he has gone through a profound transformation as he makes rounds to respect the last wishes of saebyuk and sangwoo. But, it can actually be a representation of his inability to forget the tragic events of the games. The red can be taken as anger/revenge/trauma or some kind of newfound drive or to represent the red color of the game associates or perhaps the red tag to play the slapping game which caused him to join the game. And fittingly, In the Final scene when it is time for Gihun to get his closure, he calls the number and says he cannot forgive them and is seen walking away from the plane(his changed future) as one final plot twist. It is understood then that his story arc is not yet complete, just like all the other contestants he is still driven by his flaw, the game continues, and his end is yet to be seen. On an interesting speculative side note: You could argue that Gihun was more a successful antagonist to Ilnam than he was to him. I believe Ilnam wanted to die playing the games, reliving his childhood innocence that he lost while growing up and accumulating wealth, instead dying alone in his deathbed.(note he would have died if he lost the tug of war and they were all games he played when he was a child) But his encounter with Gi hun and his seemingly preserved innocence/humanity must have touched him in some way, or sparked a newfound interest.(note he says playing with him made him remember things from his distant past that he had forgotten) When Gi hun had one marble left it was up to Ilnam to win as the answer would have inevitably been "odd" and Ilnam would have taken the last marble. But he unimmersed himself from the game that he so desperately set up for himself and let Gihun win, all the while preserving his innocence by not letting gihun win through deception, but by an understanding of mutual respect. And moments before he draws his last breath, he is proven wrong by the kind act of a bystander that turns to help an unconscious man in the streets (note the bystander initially tries to rob the homeless man) Whether Ilnam witnessed and acknowledged that he was wrong is up to the interpretation of the viewers, but if it had been clarified in the show that the losing of the bet changes Ilnam's perspective (regardless of whether he dies after or not) would almost certainly make him a successful protagonist who, throughout the course of the story, is changed. As a viewer i do believe Ilnam's perspective was shifted whether he saw the result of the bet or not because gihun's example had already influenced Ilnam to change his focus from immersing in the game he set up for himself to letting gihun win (perhaps to preserve gihun). The scene shortly after, he is seen removing his vip mask and informing the other vip's that he does not wish to participate in watching the rest of the games. I believe the final game he sets up at the 7th f loor is partially a last desperate attempt before death to prove to himself of his own convictions, only to be proven wrong, making him a true tragic protagonist who lost his humanity as a victim of society only to witness a glimpse of it moments before death or to die stubbornly trying to prove himself right until the last breath.

Honestly, I started watching it so I could understand the memes (A reason behind a lot of things I watch/play these days) and I didn't really expect to get much past the first episode as the premise felt a bit 'done' to me but, man it was amazing. It was so incredibly compelling and I knew that I was going to be rooting hard for Gi-Hun as soon as I saw him feed that cat. For me, the biggest heartbreak of Episode 6 wasn't Ali's death or Ji-Yong's death or Il-Nams death (I annoyingly guessed that he was ok when his death was off-screen) for me the thing that really got to me about that episode was seeing Gi-Hun do something bad. As soon as he chose to gaslight Il-Nam, my heart just broke.

The marble game was the probably one of the hardest scenes I’ve watched.

Ali's death was definitely depressing. It shows how horrible humans can actually be and use somebody for their own advantage. I absolutely love Sang-woo's character, it's real, it's awful, and a lot of people have a similar personality like him, even if they don't want to admit it (besides the killing, of course)

Ali's death made me unbelievably angry, I was cussing out Sangwoo so bad LOL, but Saebyeok's death absolutely broke me.

Squid Games ended perfectly, idk how they could top it with a season 2.

I loved the show but the ending was just.. smh. Letting down his daughter yet again. He could have went to see her THEN gone to deal with the game masters. I also wish he wouldn’t have waited so long to help 067’s brother. He promised her and waited a year before even going to see him, just terrible. Poor boy was sitting there for a year waiting for his sister to visit him not knowing what happened.

“Ending Explained” = Just a synopsis of the whole thing😂

honestly i swear something like this is actually happening in the world. the rich of the world would definitely do something like this just for entertainment.

At the beginning, I think the reason Il-nam voted to end the games was so that everyone could truly decide on whether to play or not. He knew they'd go back to a life just as unforgiving as the games, and he wanted them all to recognize that and choose to return themselves. He could have easily voted to continue, but that would run the risk of half of the players not truly giving it their all and being less motivated than when they elected to be there. In that sense, it might be less fun.

I don’t think Joon-Ho (the cop) is dead. Front man deliberately shoots him in a non-lethal way, and we never see his body. I am sure he will play a crucial role in season 2, which will most definitely happen

Kinda random but I just want to put it out there that I don't think the police officer died when he was shot and fell. He was shot around his shoulder area which I assume didn't hit any of his vital organs. It showed him falling back off the cliff but we didn't get a full scene of him hitting the water or finding his body which makes me think he may have fell and somehow survived. I dunno I just don't think they wrapped it up yet.

I saw Ali’s betrayal coming the moment Sang Woo partnered up with him. Sang Woo felt off to me right from episode 2 when he voted to continue the game. It got me bawling nevertheless seeing Ali’s helpless and heartbroken face 😭😭😭

From what the writer said about it taking 10 years or so to write the first series, it seems optimistic to think a 2nd is going to top it (although clearly with the numbers it's racked up, a 2nd is inevitable). I like the idea that it goes global, given the suggestion that it isn't only held in Korea. Any country could work. Maybe acts a precursor to some sort of 3rd and final series where they try and compete champions from across the globe.

Season 2 should be a prequel showing the first squid game. It would be interesting to see how they recruited the people in red.

The old man is smart for deciding to stop the game at first because people will realize how much they need that money.. I already found it weird that the old man came back too

Also the one thing that was not mentioned was that when Sang Woo mentioned consent form Clause 3 (games may be terminated if the majority agrees) and that the voting should be done in reverse order, meaning 001 ( oh-ilnam) is the last one to decide their fate, as he is the creator and we, as audience, didn’t really thought about it and brushed it at the back our mind.

Honestly, the part where (the old man) Il - Nam and Gi - Hun were partners together in the episode of Gganbu hit me the hardest. The part where the old man and Gi - Hun were playing the marbles game and Gi - Hun kept losing. But then, the old man forgot if he said "Even" or "Odd'. Then Gi - Hun took advantage of that and recalled that the old man has dementia. Which I honestly don't know what I would do in that situation. Then later on towards the moment the game is about to end, the old man offers to bet everything he has. All or nothing. He says "Why don't we play one more round betting everything we have?" Then G - Hun replied by saying "This is nonsense, what kind of nonsense is this? It makes no sense at all!" NOW THIS IS THE PART THAT HITS ME MAN. THE OLD MAN REPLIED BY SAYING: "So then, that's what you did this whole time. Does tricking your friend like that makes sense to you?" Then Gi - Hun just was speechless man. I think we were all pretty speechless at that.

why is nobody talking abt the policeman? he was one of my fav characters :(

I remember crying at player 001 but i realized he invented the game, now i need my tears back

I cried so bad when the old man “died” 🤡

The way they ended was very smart. Leaving the option that the show ends there, and also room for more, depending on the series success. And now, after the show’s massive success, it’s 100% there will be a season 2.

When the riot broke out and the old man got on top bunk saying they should stop killing each other and work together, I thought Front Man had felt bad lol. No, he was just listening to his boss

it was an emotional roller coaster. I cried so hard during the marble game. My friends and family have not seen it. I have no one to talk to about it except the comment section.

I think it was incredible, great writing and pace. Love your video, it picked up on a few things I missed.

Finally finished it today and I can say it's my favorite tv show. I can't wait to see what else they do with this concept.

There's a great parallel between Gi-hun's game with the mysterious man and the whole story. At first, he played with the mysterious man knowing he can have a lot of money by winning once, but if he loses, he gets slapped. He lost a lot of rounds, changing his motivation. Once he won against the mysterious man, he forgot about the money. He just wants to slap the mysterious man back. And like the ending of season 1, he does not care for the money anymore. He lost his mother and his friends. He was betrayed. Gi-hun will join the game again to get revenge.

The last episode where Il nam bets on no one saving the homeless guy is the reasoning behind why he created the squid games. That, and because ultra rich people are bored. He thinks these bottom feeders are scum and no one will save them anyways. So he thinks the game is justified despite all the blood shed because they would’ve died anyways. He may even feel heroic that he is giving them a chance to take back their life. When gi hun saw that passerby actually coming back with the cops (as opposed to robbing the homeless guy), his conviction that the games are morally wrong became stronger.

I thought the title was “ending explained”, not entire show explained.

A little detail here: When you look at the old man's number, you can see that it's: ''001'', because he was the one who created the SQUID GAME, so I think that he was the first player ever, maybe.

I knew the old man was suspicious when he was the only person who didn’t fall over when they tipped the beds. Also during the whole marble scene, they never showed him getting shot while everyone else did.

In the second episode there is a montage where every player is waiting for the van to re-enter the game. This montage shows every person waiting for the van, entering it and getting hit by knock out gas, except for the old man who is not gassed. This was an early hint to his real identity.

Omg tysm this helped so much there was so much I didn’t realise 😅

"They say money is the root of all evil... I see money as the route of all people." - Joey Badass

When Ali and that one girl died I literally didn’t stop crying

I live in Korea. I can assure you in that bag you can't fit half the prize money. more like 2 billion won max.

Amazing show loved every minute from start to finish, please please let there be a second season. 🙏🏻

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t make it very far in this game because other people would Jill me for being annoying lmao

Sang-Woo was only playing the game to actually survive to the end so was Sae-Byeok . they were one of the few who recognized very early on that there would only be 1 winner which means at some point they would have to betray someone. Sang-Woo let Gi-hun pick the umbrella so that he wouldn't have to kill him personally in the later rounds (he still sorta had a heart), but also because if you want to survive sharing information when it doesn't benefit you is not smart. he also chose to get close to Ali, doing him multiple favors to build his trust, because he was strong but uneducated and too trust worthy. Everyone would have expected Sang-Woo to pick Gi-hun for the marbles game but he didn't because unlike everybody else he did the math and recognized that there is a possibility that the game could be a 1v1, not wanting to betray his friend unless he absolutely had to, he went for Ali because again he is strong but not the smartest and doesn't know any of the games which makes him a no-brainer without exposing his strategy to everyone. Squid game is brutal and to win you need to leave your humanity at the door, the fact that Gi-Hun is the one that won is basically a miracle, even the old man didn't think he'd survive. remember he was directly saved by someone 4 out of the 6 games (Ali, Oh Il-nam, the dude who begged him for 1st spot, and Sae-Byeok told him which tile to jump on after he had forgotten)

I was rooting for pickpocket girl, sad that she didn't make it.

Thank you for the recap, i just wish someone would explain it like you said you would.

Thanks for explaining. Saves me a lot of trouble!

I never thought games like Tug of War or Stepping stones could lead to this kind result, I loved Gi-hun, the guy literally tried to help others even when didn't have enough, Sang woo though not so much I mean he was being strategic and smart which was good but what he did to Ali really wasn't ethical, Jun-ho is definitely coming back in the next season cuz he was shot on his shoulder and when Inho first saw Jun-ho in the tunnel he must've made some arrangements for his brother, both brothers shot each other on the left shoulder and I didn't like Mi-nyeo that much, but her banter with other players really made me laugh. Jun-ho once find out who the crazy guy was but now he knows Gi-hun and they're literally gonna band together for the next season.

Something i would say about the ending as well is that it's paralleled to the birth of his daughter. Gi-Hun to me epitomes the good in humanity and such as he missed the birth of his daughter because of someone that was dying in the factory he was working at, he now is giving up seeing his daughter to save these people from the squid game. Life and death, you can't have one without the other and ultimately I feel like that's what this fantastic show comes down to.

Excellent thank you

I absolutely loved this series its so addictive from start to finish I can't wait for season 2

I was initially disappointed with the ending as it felt like it was like the typical "hah it was me! Dio!" kind of twist, and then I realised it has been hinted in my eyes all along. Saw on a tiktok that on the first game, the old man was not even scanned in Red Light Green Light, and in the Tug Of War game, he already had a strategy. When he was introduced, he was the only character that was playing not for money and/or running away from debt. And perhaps lastly, during the culling moment, the "referees" stopped the culling when the old man stood on the most top and was pleaded for everyone to stop. Might be more but its funny how it took a while for me to realise that it was not a random twist that happened and it had been foreshadowing from the episode that he was introduced the whole time. Genius.

this show was an emotional rollercoaster, especially ali’s death. Props to the actors & the team making this show happen.

You do the ending explains and cinema summary does the how to beat, great combo

the emotions that this show puts you through are insane

Really had me hurt inside when Gi-Hun comes homes richer but lost pretty much everyone who was apart of his life. His mom having health complications and when he comes home she’s gone. A heartfelt moment was when he met cheol and gives Sang woo’s mother the money he got from the game.

There were a lot of aspects to consider in this series. Most of which were social aspects in Korea (illegal, foreign workers and how they are treated, how women and old people are viewed, phishing scams and their victims, selfishness/selflessness of strangers/bystanders, etc.), and I love how they used traditional childhood games to decide whether you are freed from those "evil" factors you face in adult life. That last 5 minutes of the last episode were everything for me. Gi-hun may have never known who the old man was if he had not bought the flower to help the lady out... This again shows that there was still human inside of him a year after the game. When the Front Man advised Gi-hun to get on the plane instead of coming back for the game, we can safely assume that he was thinking about his past self about how he left his family (in this case, his brother, Jun-ho the detective) and how he regrets doing so. This series probably had the most pairs of elements that contrasted each other both in short run and long run. Can't wait for season 2 if it comes out.

The premise is so clever because when I was a child there were games that involved dying/not actual dying but as a child I would actually believe I would die. That would be down to my innocence and lack of knowledge tho but I don’t think I’m the only one who had this thought like we could actually die if we lost the game. It’s just very clever that they chose such a childlike setting with a deadly game like they played with the idea I had as a kid 🤷‍♀️

The set up for this show is what pulled me in. They spent all of ep 1 getting us invested in the main character. Despite his many flaws, you want to pull for him. They did enough with just about everyone else to give us a great cast with some crazy scenarios. It prob should end, but if they have a good script, count me in!

Squid Game is a true sequel to Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. The theme are exactly the same but the executions are different and both are masterpiece in their own right.

Ali's Death is so heartbreaking 💔

Let's not forget, that Cho Sang-Woo literally started yelling at a guy, who lost his wife, and wanted to stop the game. Which got the man to commit liven't. *just saying, in the list of all things he has done...*

This video was awesome thank you perfectly made

I think Gi-hun dying his hair red says "he has blood on his head". He will forever remember all the blood that was shed on behalf of having the chance to win the prize money. With him turning away from the plane to see his daughter, he is at the point of getting answers and is seeking revenge

Ali's death was BS. Sang-Woo didn't 'Win' the marbles, because he played a game that Ali didn't agree to. Him and Ali agree to a set of rules, he then refused to play that game. Therefore Rule #2 of Squid Game, Sang-Woo should have been eliminated. Also, by this means he gained an unfair advantage, and the squid game is about equality. Sang-Woo should have been eliminated for cheating.

this is some very creative horror i've seen in a while, I love it
