Finished it over the weekend. Would say the hide n seek game and episode was the highlight of the 2nd half.

After that, it eliminated a lot of the more dynamic characters and you were mostly left with scumbags, and not a lot of personal stakes in the final game. And my guy got saddled with the handicap to carry along throughout the games :francis:

The off island stuff wasn't that compelling, but that one guy did bring a sense of humor and was right about the captain :ehh:

Yeah all the people left were straight up scumbags with no nuance

That's not how most shows go, and especially NOT South Korean shows. Very few K-dramas have more than 1 season.

Squid Game was intended to be 1 season only, like most other K-dramas. However, obviously the show became a global phenomenon, and Netflix definitely wasn't going to pass up making more seasons.


Anyway, Jun-hee knew she was pregnant. So what do you mean?
Even successful shows only get one season in sk?

Yep. Most K-dramas are structured as a complete story with a definitive ending, so usually only 1 season is made.

Only a handful of popular K-dramas get more than one season, and usually those are streaming shows that have come out in the last 10 or so years (like Squid Game and Weak Hero Class, etc).

Yeah, I thought this was odd, but maybe it's intended for Korean viewers (it is a Korean show after all).

Ideally, they should've been playing an American game or a game popular in America. Rolling dice, jacks, hacky sack, or something along those lines.

Maybe they'll show that in Squid Game USA.
There’s no American equivalent kid game that’s as visually simple.


Dice is considered gambling. The point is to take something innocent and flip the meaning to something dangerous . Horeshoes is probably the closest and that is more luck than skill

Front Man and 456 basically turned into Batman and Joker(TDK specifically). Definitely felt like he was grooming 456 to become apart of the inner circle like the Captain.

I mean, dice isn't always gambling. Also, there's not really an American equivalent of ddakji, so they have to use something.

Anyway, some other games they could do at the recruiting stage are water bottle flip, pogs, or rock paper scissors.

Was I the only one who didn't even know most of the contestants in the final round? :mjlol:

I only knew the main guy, scumbag old guy and no. 333.

Yeah same, I failed to care about any of the players this season.
