For those who don't know : guns are banned in South Korea for civilians. So if you won a gun shaped object from doll crane machine, it's most likely a toy. Also 1 dollar is approximately 1187.10 Korean Won as of Sept 2021
Why do Koreans spell ㅆ with 2 ss? One s already pronounces itself as 'ㅆ' and 2 ss just confound the westerners / non-Korean speakers since 2 consonants put together rendering harder(?) sound 'ONLY' applies in Korean grammar - same with 2 gg & bb in which case it's even more confounding because the sound ㄲ, ㅃ don't even exist in other languages (well, at least not in English). The English equivalent for Koreans would be the letter 'f' & 'v' but no one would try to play around with the consonants ㅍ & ㅂ to give them the phonetic equivalent of f & v?
Eliminated is translated from word "탈락" means "out" from game who haven't close to any meaning about death or killed, so that's why none of this people get suspicious about their life will taken away when read the contract.
Also the first game was translated as "red light, green light' but the literal translation would be "The flower has blossomed." Players can only move while the phrase is being spoken. At the end of the phrase, the catcher would turn back to see if anyone is moving.
Every game shown in this show is real thing that exists. The introduction and growing popularity of video games have forced most of those 'old-fashioned games' out of popularity, but they certainly existed and was popular among kids in the past. Also, the reason nobody freaks out after discovering a gun(actually a lighter) inside the box is because firearms are not available for purchase among general public. (Kinda weird for a country where roughly half the total populations are trained to operate/field-strip assault rifles... Hell, some of them even know how to operate a tank!)
I've been watching kdramas since around 2006. They set up the game on another level especially during the last decade. Every different genre has the spice. Hope u guys could check more kdramas 💜 imma watch this squid game again with u guys
sangwoo did go to seoul national university. its one of the top 3 universities in korea, so its a rlly big deal if u studied there. so when the main character finds out hes in debt, sangwoo was just rlly embarassed
Its a big deal in Asia too if youre a graduate from a top university in Korea, Japan, or China. So Sangwoo being a graduate of Seoul National University is amazing for Gihoon. Being Korean-Filipino, a lot of amazing professors in the Philippines that I have had were graduates of SNU and KU.
You guys made a lot of good hypotheses, some that are surprisingly 100% right and some that are plain wrong. :P I wouldn't think too hard about it and simply enjoy binging subsequent episodes lol. Thank you for reacting to a Korean show btw. It was unheard of for Western RU-vidrs like a decade ago and it's crazy that Korean entertainment exports have reached this level now internationally.
Korean and Asian cinema in general needs more love. The film making is always phenomenal and they push boundaries without it coming across as exploitative. They also respect the viewers intelligence so you can have complex well written plots. And then hollywood makes an inferior remake completely missing the point of the movie/show.
I know this was so long ago but the reason most people don't stop things in public is called the bystander effect. Individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim in the presence of other people. People think "well there's so many of us I would help but someone else probably will." Most of the time it only takes one to do something before others join in.
This is an absolute masterpiece. A bit too gory so I had to cover my eyes a lot but the concept, cinematography and the acting is stellar. Korean stuff has been packing absolute heat the last few years....I highly recommend you check out other Korean gems like Kingdom, Sweet Home, Signal and Bad Guys. Great stuff!
The loan sharks weren’t looking for him specifically. If you’re a loan shark, you tend to frequent Off Track Betting places. Get new customers, and that’s probably where people who owe you money also hang out.
Hi Anna and Ben! New subscriber here! I really love your reactions and discussions. I am like listening to a podcast basically. I can do something else and watch or listen to your videos. I like them a lot! Keep it up guys! :)
Gong Yoo is the man in the business suit in the subway. He was in the international hit film Train To Busan. If you have not seen that film, you may need to.
If you enjoy this you should check out some more asian cinema it's fantastic. Park chan wooks vengeance trilogy is a masterpiece, ichi the killer is good if you have a strong stomach, hard boiled and a better tomorrow if you want to see what inspired the gun play from the matrix and equilibrium. Kingdom for an amazing zombie show. Audition for a wtf experience. Zatoitchi or babycart/wolf and cub if you want some old school samurai action Theres a ton more. Anything by park chan wook, takeshi kitano and takeshi miike
Since you said you like romance, I strongly recommend another k-drama called Goblin (aka Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) starring Gong Yoo, the slapping recruiter from the subway (& also the main dad from Train to Busan)! SO good! It is a mixed genre show, mostly fantasy with also rom com, drama, action, etc. with incredible characters, acting, cinematography, & music!
aight, yeah, yeah, good, good, let's go. go, go, go ! 3:10 yup ! and we call that mom-chance in korea 엄마 찬스 = mom chance 8:00 oh, so you're writing down names of people? that's a good idea, actually. you know what, sir? i'm totally gonna do that, too. it seems very useful. 10:30 you're smart 17:20 that's just the way we play it, mates; hiding behind a chubby friend, or bigger brother, or taller sister, etc. sometimes all of them. i can dance behind them if they can somehow block the tagger's view completely. that's fun 😁 18:17 i don't knows, sis. as a korean, i have to say that this is nothing like a k-drama. i mean, if i was the director, i would've made the blood green or blue or i don't knows ... something but red. well ... then ... maybe some people might not like it because it's too unrealistic but ... hey, it's my movie, so ... i'm da king ! thank you for your reaction clip, mates. i hope to see you again and finish this series together. i just love reaction clips and to be perfectly frank, i've seen other reaction clips so i know what happens at the end. i've just finished watching episode 9 reaction like an hour ago, but since it's a reaction clip, i don't get to see the whole 30 minutes or 50 minutes or ... how long is each episode anyways? so, i'm kinda like collecting bits and pieces from people's reaction clips and trying to puzzle them up in my head and yes, i can't afford netflix, cause it's like $ 10 a month in korea so ... maybe oneday? see ya 🖐
never heard of squid game, but ddakjji is a real game. everyone in korea knows and played it at some point because you can play it with some paper you can fold into the squares. for money, you just get rid of three digits and you get an approximate amount in dollars. for example, a million won is a thousand dollars, and 5000 won would be 5 dollars-ish
Wow she is good at her prediction. Subscribed. Just like Games of thrones, you are not going to know who will survive the next episode. Episode 6 going to hit you like Hordor.🤣😂 Hold the door...Hold the Door...Hold the Door.
I saw your channel cause of this reaction, really great. Just a suggestion though, can you dim your lights in the background a bit? It's kinda bright, oh and make the wall behind you darker, i know easier said than done lol, but it takes some of the focus away from both of you. Just a suggestion :), looking forward to your next vids
That’s your only complaint? How about them turning up the audio and making it so the video isn’t so dim. I might as well have been listening to a podcast about the show. Shame really.
terminated ; in this film they used the korean word; don't pass qualifying-exam for something like grades.. but in this show it means killed and 100,000$ will given to remained family. in the beginning children play a game that was squid game that was played in mostly 1980s before internet era. games of this series was played in 1980s by children. especially dalgona game was beautiful but poor era's thing too I think. I am same age of the director, so if the game was played 1970s 60s or hundreds years ago I don't know that. the green light the red light game's name is different from korea, the huge doll said 'The roses of Sharon have blossomed' Korean game name.
A Huge plot twist is already going on if your paying attention when the camera angle is at the Eyes of the doll you'll notice something with Number 001
if you could change the opacity of the actual show youre reacting to that'd be great. being able to actually see it wont get you a copyright strike, just a word of advice from someone who wants to watch your reactions but is finding it difficult cause you cant even see the clips youre reacting to when theyre on screen

The old man is behind everything, 199 is betrayed by the friend with the glasses, the friend with the glasses stabs the girl with the brother in the neck
