Squid Game - 1x2 Hell - Group Reaction 

You know what I've seen several reactors didn't get that specific scene 😂

i guess carbon monoxide poisoning isn't what people really think of first when they think suicide.

This isn't exactly well known outside of Asian countries tbh

@@r6guy Well not specifically in that method. More common to use the exhaust from a car in America.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is the #1 way used to commit suicide in Korea but that’s definitely not the case in America (so I understand the misconception/misunderstanding )

Agreed. Although at the time I was annoyed the pace went back to slow again…but it pays off a ton in the long run.

actually the moments the old man pressed X I expected they would go back on their own. They hid the fact they could go back but it’s also kinda odd because they said if they don’t continue then the money goes to the families of the people that died. I don’t really see why that didn’t happen automatically the moment they left the game but I guess they expected a lot of them to come back anyway. The money going to the family could also have been a lie.

Lol are you a bot, I’ve seen this comment before wtf

@@Terin16 lol yeah

@@Terin16 I think a lot of people copy paste their comments on every reaction for likes.

right, not everyone in life has the same opportunity as everyone else

the normies know nothing about the outside world it seems lol they probably don't know what student loan is

Like Ali

tbh, i don't even think the main guy was a gambler, remember he had a job and was liad off due to company bankruptcy during a time where he needed A LOT of money, its when you are in the bottom, gambling for a win is not that bad of an idea.

There are some country where it is so hard just to live and korea is one of it. Try to live there and you know why they do it. Thats why many korean critics this movie because it reflect how life really work there.

exactly! everyone i've seen react, myself included, went bonkers when it showed the old man voting no. it's such a good plot twist and gives the show a chance to explain why these people are doing this: because they have no other option but to.

the show is such a genius in foreshadowing and symbolism/metaphors (?) One example is when they gave the old man so much power in that voting scene

Old man giving no because he giving everyone another chance to be out from the game, he stressed that part in the last episode where he said he didnt force anyone to play, but even then everyone still coming back again

im so used to american shows where they would have had him press the circle, thats why it was so surprising to me. i love foreign shows because im not used to them and i can still be surprised

I actually thought he was gonna vote NO just because he is dying, doesn't mean all the other people should too

wow

A interesting point, but a bit overthinking. Was it ever said how much Ali own in debt? Not saying he didn't owe anything, but I believe Ali just wanted to get his family out of SK and back to his homeland in Pakistan. Sure he was dirt broke, but that was due to his boss never paying him. Though the real problem is when he fought with his boss and got him injured during said fight. Thats why he was in a panic mode to get his wife and son out of SK. He didn't want the cops to show up at their door and possible arrest her or more likely, tell her of what happen. While Gi-Hun main problem is that he always spends his money as soon as he get it. If he stops borrowing money as well as blowing whatever he has earn, he could be living better. Though the man in a cycle of borrow/earn money, spend it on gambling to make more, lose it and repeat. Meanwhile, Sang-woo isn't being left go because he rich or has money himself (He doesn't, he just has pocket change from the looks of it). He in hiding and is trying his best to stay hidden. Hell, he was probably gone for a day or two due to the squid games. So the cops/whatever government force is trying to find him have no idea where he is. That and, we have no idea if that is his house he went to to commit suicide, or if it was a hotel. Only reason why the Squid Games' people knew where he was is due to them keeping track of all the players. Last thing, and the main reason Sang-woo has money. He not naive (Ali) or stupid (Gi-Hun). Sure he made a lot of bad calls...I mean..a lot of bad calls. But to get to the spot he is in, he knows how money works and how to earn/save it. The man might still be "rich" compare to everyone else, but he owes a shit ton of money due to a lot of bad stock/financial calls.

@@Tiggy110 honestly though, I think sangwoo is just a bastard. Yes he's intelligent but from what we've seen in the show, sangwoo seems to have procured most of his success by manipulating and using other people. He's been in the corporate world for so long he believes that the "every man for himself" model is the only way. Yes, they are all trying to win the prize money, but most like ali and gi-hun believe in playing the games fairly and winning using the methods outlined. Sangwoo will do anything because he has a lust for his lost valor.

@@lilacbombs_5197 Oh, I know Sang Woo is a bastard. I get it, the games are to be played and you are suppose to win at any cost. Though the dude is super quick to turn on his fellow allies to save his own skin. Hell, even when he didn't even NEED to do it. He still did it because it would have weed more people out. Though sadly, its not only the corporate world that is "Every man for himself." The whole world is a "Everyone for themselves". From the highest corporate man to the lowest thug. If it can make someone quick buck, the majority of people are gonna take it. Which is why I can't truly fault Sang Woo. Sure, I hate his guts, but would anyone else be any different in that spot? I would like to say that I, myself, would be different. But I can't say for 100% certain. Which is why the series is so good imo. No one is 'good' or 'evil'. It just shows people at their lowest and how they handle it.

@@Tiggy110 I see your point yeah, but I also think the point of the show isn't that everyone's low/not inherently good, but rather economic despairity turns people to do monstrous things to eachother to compete. the VIPS/wealthy have every opportunity to stop playing the game, it's likely how they justify it to themselves- but really it's the wealthy and specifically us imperialism that is facilitating all of this.

yeah exactly! and also two or three of the characters trough this episode keep on talking that "여기 더 지옥이다" "it's much more hell out here", so sad that they translated it as "torture" in the subtitles. Cuz the title was not only showed in the lives of the characters, but also was spoken trough their lips as well

@@SuperHeedictator yes!! I was frustrated that they didn’t mention ”hell” in the translation

I agree! Even the title of the episodes are great!

In the cities, these places cost $150~200 a month which is affordable for someone working part-time basically.

And there's smallest places around the world. There's tons of ppl surviving like day by day, CUZ that's not living at all

I would honestly like to live in a small room like that. Don't need a house, just want a little space where I can chill.

But in South Korea there are really tiny places very expensives, specially for students.

Dude was living in a closet 💀

lol like what are they sayingggg

And when the woman mentioned illegals the faces were giving "well illegals aren't people anyways " lol. That was awkward

@@fembrucewayne1904 what the hell are you on about?

I haven't watched this channel before, but after watching their Squid Game reactions, they give me the impression that they live very sheltered and privileged lives lol

@@selina6408 I always see them in compilations so this is my first time watching them at any length and 😬

very well said

Don't bother. The six people you see one the couch are the type of people that would cheer for the VIPs.

I'm pretty sure a real person had to say something like this too lol

brave solder boy

“Taking advice from an alternate account spouting quotes who confuses its and it’s is a bad idea.” -Albert Einstein

@@cyberduck9022 Solder? Like electronic metal connections?

I don't know why you commented that, but that's how I see Sang Woo. He's amongst people who are all in the same situation as he is, but still he feels ashamed, because he's learned that he's supposed to be _better_ than these kinds of people. That's why he'd do absolutely anything to hide his mistakes, to win the game.

Great writing

its really dope they episode is called "Hell" and it takes place outside the island, so the truth it's their lives that are hell, the games are a chance to escape

Ellos viven en una burbuja no trates de explicarles nada. Por eso ninguno tiene hijos.. Ven una serie donde te muestran como es la vida y se sorprenden por eso... en fin.... Son gente de dinero. no saben lo que es nacer de la pobreza y tener problemas financieros. quizas creern que la gente elige meterse en deudas

At least their own city lol. Living spaces like that are completely common in New York City and they don't cost 700-800 bucks a month.

They live very privileged lives and wouldn't know what struggles are, even if it hit them in the face They act like people choose to be a shitty situations and crippling debt They live in a bubble

Even within the US! America has a huge homeless problem

@who cares I think Indianapolis

They don't even have to look very far. Just look outside on the streets, tons of homeless people there to look at.

Stop 😂

Some of the things they say make absolutely no sense at all lmao

@@razrxo right lmao

But wouldn't you rather be wrong about a prediction and be surprised at what actually happens? Don't people complain whenever a show is too predictable?

@@OfficialTheProductHunt missing the entire point of the comment, chief. Never complained or said I wish they got more predictions right or anything like that.

@@gabylessthan3 I assume they're speaking in a neutral manner as if the twist did not happen. So no spoilage

@@mushroomlad6233 agreed, everyone here were still in episode 2, those who watched finish all episodes shouldn't spoil. I would assume the same that the old man accepted the offer first if I haven't finish watching all episodes

@@gabylessthan3 ​Idk if they read their comments but you should edit/delete this in case they haven't finished watching.

@@gabylessthan3 yeah I’ve finished it.

Man I wish we could delete any comments hinting to spoilers. Reactions can't ever even look at comments anymore smh

but it will cost him his mum

Same it's not as easy of a choice as it seems. But if he literally can't support his kid I feel like leaving the daughter with that family is a hard but loving choice. Least she'll have a home and stable ish family.

And I don't get why everyone else is okay with it. Gi-hun is literally punching someone who provided stable home (among everything she needed) for his daughter when he couldn't with no questions asked. At the beginning of the show you can literally see him go gamble away money that he stole from his own mother that is stuck providing for him. He should be the one getting beaten the shit out of him.

@@nolanlehman6392 if taking that money on the spot would save my moms life ( and also her grandma) i would take it right there, then come back and kick his ass and tell the truth, at one point in life the girl would understand that the only a hole was her stepdad (her mom too, at least a little bit for not helping her grand mother)

@@jddubisek9263 So you would be okay with some dude telling you to stay away from your own daughter?

loll yup!!!

fr lol

Woah, interesting analysis

@@aegis5131 Yeah it's a actual thing they do in Las Vegas to get you to play more games and how they trick you. There's actually a really cool documentary about it

Oh my god you're right!

As a viewer I also kind of attracted to the money

BTS’s managers are known to be amazing so that joke was both bad and untrue 😭

it was weird like considering he mainly said it because they’re korean too

@@faithl8152 he’s actually one of my most favorite out of all the normies but the way he talked down on bts a couple times in some of their reaction videos just don’t sit right with me 🙄😬

Lol who hurt you snowflakes, disliking someome cause of his opinion really

nah that was funny

Sang-Woo does call him '형' (Big Brother) several times. In Korea, it's a term for not just blood brothers, but also a term of affection for someone slighter older than oneself. But that's not immediately obvious if one doesn't live in Korea. The closest thing would probably be 'Bro', but that has somewhat different connotations. And I mean, he's wearing a suit in a bathtub. That's funny out of context.

@@hp22h78 I know hyung is a common term used between friends, but then Ali called sangwoo that too and from what I saw the translation in Netflix didn't really use 'big brother' but just used their names. Also they had different mothers with different storylines 🤣 I'm just surprised at how many people misunderstood this. Also yea the bathtub scene can be funny if someone doesn't realise what's up

It's called taking the money and lying. Didn't see a contract... save his mom, see his daughter... if he can lie to his daughter about fried chicken etc. why would he care lying to the new guy in their life literally telling you she's not your daughter anymore...

Exactly! They're talking about pride, had nothing to do with pride.

pretty sure he never sees his daughter anyway lmao, he's obviously a trash father. plus we all know what happens at the end because he never took that money

@@minimi1 he never see his daughter? You sure? You watched season 10 already?

@@windwhisperer1000 Yes he watched all the episodes

Kinda backfired at the end when he left his daughter

I think genuine love is doing what's best for your child. Like how some parents put their kids up for adoption when they know they can't take care of them. I think there is a bit of pride in him deciding she needs him, and a bit of selfishness in wanting to see her even though her life would probably be better without him.

@@bgumg1023 pride and ego have nothing to do with stepdad decides to give him the money for his stepdaughters grandmother then segways into "by the way you take this you'll never see your daughter again" tell me you wouldn't be pissed or even disgusted with such a bold ass demand. No one's really arguing that he should have hit the stepdad, just that he had it coming.

@@calvintyler9281 if it's not pride and ego then what is it, because he wasn't thinking about his daughter when he threw that punch, he was thinking about himself and how it made him feel.

Yeah sure, love breading violence isn't a good thing... You think his daughter felt good?

oh shit i had no idea about this!

But what happens when you do that and you end up with neither?

​@@OfficialTheProductHuntcalled risk

@@therealhb1763 way to keep the comment section alive brother😎👍

Episode 6 is the impossible one! Is unbelievably emotional for so many reasons

yeah true

You literally have no clue how each of them grew up. You watch a 20 min commentary on some korean show that has tottally different social cues then what most americans are used to. they are not taking this so seriously.... they are having fun chillin watching a show. and here you are with your judgmental ass telling them how they grew up. maybe think before you judge/

have you not watched the normies before? they miss out on a lot of in depth stuff probably cuz they're trying to conversate

@@jackdarippa8119 thank you!!!!! most of these idiots in the comment section don't have brains

@@jackdarippa8119 I get it that Americans have different social cues but when they said "y'all people live like this" or something like that. It really shows that they grew up privilege. Yes people live like that ,I mean there are Homeless people in the US .

I thought I was the only one thinking this

The ignorance and the privilege was KILLING me I can't even watch it till end cuz it's so annoying

i could barely finish it lmao

Because these reactors are a bunch of nihilistic d-bags that will never understand a love between a parent and child. The most attachment they've ever heard in life are to fictional characters or their shoes.

haha good one

I feel like it's just the Netflix translation, even in some anime they f*ck it up.

I don't understand what Suraj said

@@arafat9828 a dig to BTS

Fr that was highly disrespectful, like I get if you’re not a fan but really? Why bring them up for smth unrelated just to throw dirt on them? How inmature can you get :/

@@ZeltickCrow y'all really mad😂😂😂

@@changedcj007 nah, personally I wasn't really mad. Like I'm sorry if it seemed that way, don't wanna start any beef anywhere. But I was more... idk disappointed? And tired? It was a "sigh" kind of moment. (For context bts has been under a lot of hate and racism slander lately so as a fan I guess I grew tired of bs and just didn't expect to hear "jokes" over here). But it is what it is and I'll take it as that. A joke. Kind of bad taste, but ultimately a joke, so no hard feelings :/

@@Lex-fs1ru I mean he kind of does since he's raised the child and not gi-han. You can be mad about the situation all you want the fact remains that he was not a dedicated part of his daughter's life he has not provided anything for her so honestly he shouldn't be mad at this situation because it's a situation that he brought upon himself. Instead of reflecting on that fact he'd rather lash out on other people.

@UCsKKCO22J5WMHVubYvNVB3w okay so you're coming at this from a personal place. But your situation and his situation aren't the same. In this situation though where you already in the process of moving to a different state? And I feel like that's what a lot of people are missing y'all can say that he did the right thing by punching him or that the stepdad is an asshole but what everybody forgets is the fact that they were still moving after they moved he wasn't going to see his daughter anymore regardless and so he basically just lost his daughter in that moment while at the same time also losing his mom. He didn't take care of his daughter but his mom took care of him so who do you think has the priority at this time, the daughter that is already moving away from the country or the person who has literally put up with your shit, and is dying because of it.

he's thinking about himself and not his daughter, 'cause honestly she's better off without him. all he can provide her with is stress and anxiety.

@Cristian Rodas His mother was already at death's door. Gi-Hun was working a decent job until his company fucked him over. Being dealt a bad hand in life doesn't mean you're a lost cause

I think they missed the subtitles in those talking.

@@sivlyte2892 It's pretty crazy that all 6 of them missed it

if he loves his daughter and he had even a BIT of responsibilities, he would take the money and know that for his own daughters protection and safety (with people LITTERALLY coming for his organs and even signed up with sketchy people that landed him in said murder games to begin with) he should walk away from her life if he keeps on living like that... If you TRUELLY love someone, you do what's best for THEM, not for YOU. The best thing for his daughter is him either fixing his life, or if he continues like this... to walk away from his daughters life and know that at least his child is being taken care of by a family that is STABLE and SAFE.

The weird part is that they didn't, even commented by saying "I knew he was going to say something like that"

I caught that part, but I still think he should have graciously accepted the money. He's not going to get to see his daughter either way. Might as well save his mom and work on having thanking / respecting the person helping his daughter have a good life. Edit: I don't have kids, so I'm not going to pretend to understand a parent's heart. Maybe that's why I don't understand his reaction.

Totally, they just know how to watch videos.

But when you really think about it you know if you're not already a part of that lifestyle and then all of a sudden you become part of it I don't think the first thing you're going to be thinking about is well I should have this money allocated to an offshore bank account that I don't actually know about and should start focusing on the taxes that will be taken out like a normal person in my opinion that wouldn't be their first thought.

@@OfficialTheProductHunt I guess you never seen the ending.

@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 I have not, I'm on episode 5. 😎👍

😬

@@quintero2406 i kinda get where he's coming from, when Gi-hun punched the step-dad they called it stupid pride whilst completely ignoring the fact that accepting the money would mean giving up his daughter.

@Cristian Rodas I did stop watching their reactions. Although I find people who defend a group of strangers online so weird. People can’t even express criticism towards a channel without a follower getting super defensive. All I did was express how I felt about their reaction, didn’t say anything insulting about any of them but you still got upset on their behalf and made attacks against me. But thanks for your concern though!

no the games are fair and has rules the world isn't that's why the ep is called hell aka the real world

@@aligmal5031 Fair is a bit of a stretch, but I see the vision

@@aligmal5031 Fair is a stretch. The writer purposefully wrote it in the show like this. The real world with all its Governments and stuff also has its rules, like the Games. But in the Squid Game, we saw that he doctor knew beforehand what all games were going to be played and he passed the knowledge to others, so they had an unfair advantage over the other contestants. Same shit happens in real world, when ppl "cheat" their way to the top. Many of the survivors of a few games survived cuz of luck and not actual skill. Like Gi-Hun who chose to be last in Tug Of War. Similarly, in real world, some ppl are just more lucky than others. In Tug Of War, the Front Man saw that a guy was using his skill to differentiate between normal and tempered glass, so he decided that he was gonna make it more difficult for him, which also happens in real world

i thought i was the only one it was oddly satisfying and aesthetic

@@shaniapr5 this show is shot so well, and the colors are really pleasing to the eyes too.

@Cristian Rodas how are they a snowflake? This reaction was shit and weird. Like wth was that bts joke lol.

@@blinktwice4541 yeah I don't even know what made suraj say that like, how ignorant can you be smh

@@deadpool3_4 exactly lmao, also it's the fact that the joke wasn't even funny lol.

Yeah. When I heard that BTS “joke” my opinion of them immediately went sour. Like how uneducated can you be?? Then it just got worse as the episode went on.

@@twilightrhapsodist ikr. It's not a rare thing seeing western people still mention bts as something that's "different" or "unusual" due to the success they've had. His comment shows he clearly has some type of knowledge about stereotyping of bts and he himself jumped in on it to make a shit joke that's actually disrespectful. It's just hate/xenophobia disguised as a joke and im furious

Oh look, another one.

@Cristian Rodas bro what? lmao

@Cristian Rodas yes, you are in fact, wrong. lmao.

@Cristian Rodas wow man. So you support un-bts related and people who look-down-on-everything community or something?!

@Cristian Rodas If you say so lmao

And then that's self-respecting person wouldn't have a daughter or a mother so yeah sounds like a great idea. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Well, you've just witnessed over 200 people get shot dead, you swallow your pride to ask everyone you know for help for your mom, including your ex-wife. Then your ex-wifes husband comes in, offers the money but has the great idea that since you are desperate, this is an opportunity to get rid of you. He hands you the money, you promise to pay your ex-wifes husband back, who clearly doesn't like you, and THEN he slaps you with the condition that you get the money for staying away from his family. No, that guy gets a knuckle sandwich for that move. Couldn't just be a decent person, just had to push it. Considering everything that had happened, that was a very natural reaction.

@@CorporalCookie You literally wasted your time writing this comment, bc he already swallowed his pride. He took the money and was about to walk away. But the moment the stepdad tried to bribe him into never seeing his own daughter again, ofc he punched him. Every real dad would. It's not even about pride, he is a father, with or without the money he has that responsibility. The MC doesn't have the money, his family is all he has left, and is way more important. And the stepdad crossed the line by trying to take that away from him as well.

@@OfficialTheProductHunt You do realize that people REACT to such situations in the moment, right? They don't go "Oh, let me think about this for a long while so I can digest it and then make a choice based on hindsight" which is what YOU ARE doing. You are reacting to it not as Gi-hun, but as someone with a lot more info available to them. That's called being able to make the decision based on hindsight. It shows you have zero empathy though, considering you can't put yourself in Gi-hun's shoes.

totally agree. really shamefull

bye Felicia. Some life advice. Dont take things PERSONAL.... especially when said people have no idea who the fuck you are.

@@jackdarippa8119 well said

What did they say?

IKR

To save his mothers life? Yes. And he didn't even go to see the daughter at the end when he got the money

Imagine trying to "buy" someone's daughter off. Like, I get that that guy is an asshole who can't provide for her but he's still her father and at least deserves to get to see her once in a while

​@@arafat9828 the guy is a dangerous asshole who is horrible influence on his daughter. His daughter will grow up with all sorts of issues. Not to mention the violent debtors who at any minute can show up. What happens if hes with his daughter at the time?? But lets give him a break because hes the protagonist of the show....right???

some people don't deserve to be parents, he should have taken the money and left that poor girl alone.

lol i agree she annoys me

right like I usually really like Rana, especially because she's more perceptive and actually pays attention to what's happening better than most of the others, but her reacting to this series is giving me some serious "just stop being poor" vibes lmfao

That's why they should switch to dub version.. they are constantly missing the main talking. And interpret it in different ways.

She's literally moving to a whole last another state whereas your mom who has a possibility of dying is the person you live with. Yes it's a hard and shitty decision to come to but at least out of the two important people in your life you'll get to see one of them. And from a out of the TV show perspective it would have very much been possible that one his daughter turned 18 if she still wanted her real dad to be in her life she could always go back or she could visit.

@@sivlyte2892 no it's awful

@@OfficialTheProductHunt that's called making a choice based on HIND SIGHT. You have all the info. Gi-hun does not. He reacted impulsively, clearly. Which is what humans do in such situations. Goddamn I can't believe people do this, impose their informed opinion onto someone they're not empathizing with. I'm legit sad for y'all that you lack this much empathy in your life, like how do you function?
