I honestly started to like Sae-Byeok when she held the gangster guy as her shield in the first game and it was totally badaas. But yeah, I like Ali too as the most innocent and kind hearted person.
The guy who rescued the main character, much of his character was lost in translation. He's not stupid, he's just an immigrant who isn't quite fluent in Korean (for instance, not knowing the Korean words for odd and even numbers).
As Much as how nice and sweet his character was shown.........he was dumb, Naive,who would trust anyone..........yes he was an immigrant, he wasn't very fluent in Korean, but.......at least there are people who can actually read people, their intention towards you
I played this game so much at school when I was younger. I always thought it was scary, and I always thought "if I move I get shot" nice to see my thoughts became a reality
Reactors must realize that korea has some of the strictest gunlaws. Thats why no one really understood whats happening in the few moments after the first guy got shot.
@@normanfury8259 id like to use this opportunity to reconstruct my statement, I think most didn't really understand what's happening, not all. my basis for this is the age group of majority of the players. most of them are in their 30s or younger people who should be at the right age for the mandatory military training. their images are too free. colored hair in that one guy etc. The younger players most probably are using the game to escape the mandatory training or just got out of the training camp. so the players are either 30s whos been (most probably) a decade away or more since the last time they experienced guns,a young player who probably tried to escape the training. or if the age of the player is about in the 20s, itll be probably a new shock for them as I doubt they saw a human being got shot in the camp during training.
Even after all the bloodshed, the most savage part of this scene was when the woman comes back on the loudspeaker to repeat the rules, as if in her mind the reason people were moving was because they didn't understand the rules.
I know that “fight or flight” are the main “reactions” to intense situations but people also “freeze”, especially when we know that “fight or flight” will lead to harm. For example, we know that if we happen to come across a snake or fast dangerous animal, fight or flight would lead to more danger, hence we’ve been taught to freeze in these situations. Which is why some of the players don’t “flight” when everyone starts running. Bc their minds are fast enough to catch up to what’s going on and freeze.
you cant describe the reaction unless youve truly have had it happen to you. that freeze reaction is not a conscious choice it is a painful instinct. in middle school there was talk about a bomb threat for some time and later in the day an unrecognizable alarm came on with audio about bomb stuff on the intercom and everyone included me while transitioning class periods froze COMPLETELY. you literally become paralyzed and are in a state of shock and pure fear its complete instinct and not a conscious decision. in the show the people who stayed frozen did because they applied the logic to not move when you arent supposed to. it isnt easy to just start moving after the freeze either.
@@kilos5958 Luckily for me I was raised to do that at a very young age. Probably because I am stickler for following directions. Like I've had bees land on me, but I was never stung before I froze in place and waited for them to fly away.
I gotta say, Great work from Korean Productions and especially the writer. Being Rejected so many years just to prove the world that it’s the best Netflix series to date
shoutout to Mixed Reactions tho for always putting these tg i feel like he don’t get much love he the goat for dis idk why i find joy in others finding joy in the things i found joy in but it’s cool💪🏽
people forget they are watching in their own homes, with all it's little comforts and assurance of safety, so our minds can immediately and calmly process what we would do under these circumstances. You're there with the gun barrel aimed at you before you have time to think- that's a WAY different story
@@danwilliams2551 not only that, but it's fiction, so we don't really feel THAT much shocked. If we think of us being there, and thus being real, it's totally different situation.
@@kevingiampaoli9363 why do people who haven’t watched a very popular show be dumb enough to come on social media and not expect to see spoilers 😂😂😂 how dumb are YOU? Usually people on social who’ve seen a popular show have a good conversation threads
im glad you’re doing this. i hope you do it for all episodes too. also the ones who don’t watch it in its original language are missing out big time. the dubbed version takes away from so much emotion and good acting.
Yeah, it's unbelievable how bad it is. They even changed the creepy sing-song voice of the doll, and had her just speaking the words "Red Light Green Light" instead of singing.
@@a.w.b.9971 nope. They're just nitpicking. The caption is fine bcus u still get the gist of what's happening & that's enough. The dub is definitely worse bcus it's not just a matter of different speaking language, but also lacking the emotion & authenticity from the original. U'd be lying if u said that it's as bad as the dubbing. Non-korean audiences perfectly got the storyline based on the caption so..... fuck knetz lol. They usually LOVE to complain about everything anyway.
I forgot San-Woo was the one who first suggested standing behind another person as a human shield. It's so subtle because the show frames it as him looking out for his friend, but in reality it's also showing us his true nature from the very beginning.
And we get the information that he is willing to setup and betray his friends in the Honeycomb game as he figured out the assignment and still let them split up
Personally find Alice in Borderland to be far more brutal and crazy than Squid Game, not that Squid Game isn’t good it just doesn’t hold up to the competition in my opinion.
I once experienced someone collapsing and essentially dying at Ikea, there were medics performing CPR. The fact that someone was about to die near me was already enough to make me really uneasy, especially the relative that kept yelling "He's no breathing!" So I think people's panicked reaction is pretty accurate.
I gotta say this scene was by far the best of the whole series. I mean the whole series was good itself, but this really helped to cement me in watching every season.
Not really. It’s shocking that he did it, as very few people would in a similar situation, but that’s exactly _why_ we all felt for him. Selflessness in dystopia gives us hope.
I was so bummed when Ali bit the dust in Squid Game. He was easily one of my favorite characters in the whole series. It was really sad to see him go out like that, especially after he saved the main character's life in the first episode. And then to get taken down by his own supposed ally in the marbles game? That was just brutal.
Everyone who needed subtitles, at least. I’m told that Korean gun laws are notably strict, so local audiences probably had about ten seconds of plausible deniability.
i had alot of danganronpa vibes watching this show, and that is a good thing. At some point i was even wondering if the authors are the same becase they did every psychological thing pretty much the same way danganronpa did
This show has made me think I need to question everything now. Like if anything I do you can be "eliminated" in..imma ask them to elaborate on the word before I start. Might explain why I haven't seen some of my ex co-workers since they were "fired" or "terminated"
Ali represents the South Asian people. He comes from Pakistan. Near country to India. India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka they all are literally same in looks and behaviour. And if you ever visited those region you would know how inviting and helpful they are even tho they didn't know you.
It annoys me when they get so shocked and frustrated that people move. Umm they didn’t know they would get killed if they were eliminated and people’s first reaction is to run away.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who got annoyed from that. It seemed like a lot of the people reacting thought that the contestants knew that elimination meant death, but none of them had a clue. So the panic made it feel more real to me.
Yeah those people are just watching the show from the comfort and safety of their homes their mind is calm, they don't feel the panick and anxiety the players do
IKR, like we are sitting on our asses expecting a horror film so of course it’s easy for us to say “don’t move” but these characters are supposed to be absolutely shocked and confused, just like people are in real life when mass shootings happen
I was looking forward to watching reactions to this show, but this was the first show where every single reactor I saw obviously had known what was going to happen...even the ones that pretended to be shocked. Fun series, but wish I found one good reactor that hadn't been spoiled.
I think it's not necessarily true they were spoiled, just that it was pretty obvious they were going to get killed. Because what else would happen, they just play a normal game?
