Squid Game - 1x6 "Gganbu" REACTION! 

“They see themselves in each other”. That’s an amazingly deep point there that I had never noticed. All the characters who died are reflections of the people who survived them. The ideal versions

Sae-Byok's actress was genuinely crying and literally broke down after filming their scene cause she was so overcome with emotion. that's so good for someone who never acted before. this episode always tears me apart no matter how many times I watch

"Thank you for playing with me" was kind of a slight mistranslation I've heard. I've heard what she really said was "Thank you for being with me." The poor girl had no emotional connections with other human beings, and having that connection, even briefly, was heaven for her.

Ladies: Player 001 Actor, O Yeong Su won Best Supporting Actor for Squid Game at the Golden Globes for his Exceptional Performance. Kudos and Congratulations to him.

"People really be showing themselves when they about to die." Essentially the thesis for this episode.

This episode never fails to make me cry

The episode that just rips out everyone's hearts; this is just *brutal*.

People/viewers!!! please stop commenting things like “wait till episode __ IT WAS SOO SAD I CRIED!!!” or “if you thought this was crazy wait till you get to the next part!!!!!” You might think you’re not spoiling anything, but you are. you’re spoiling an organic reaction and emotional response because you’re setting expectations. You had the privilege of having no idea what comes next, so it hits harder. But when everyone is telling you to prepare for THAT SPECIFIC EPISODE, youll mentally prepare and speculate and it’s not a natural way to experience the show. I realize this is the internet and the shows been out for months now, but still have some courtesy in comments, I saw so many of these soft spoilers on the episode 5 reaction. Please stop. It's annoying af. K thanks for coming to my Ted talk

"Homie just got a golden globe." okay that shit was funny

This episode always makes me cry. So sad to see half our cast go. And to make it even more sad, Ali kept calling Sangwoo as “hyung,” which is the Korean honorific that a guy refers to a close older brother or friend. Ali and Sangwoo grew close enough and Sangwoo took advantage of Ali’s trust. And when Ali pours the rocks out of the bag, he doesn’t believe it and pours out more the second time, hoping that Sangwoo, perhaps the first Korean person to ever treat him with kindness, didn’t betray him. He had so much faith and trust in Sangwoo and it led to his death. Ironically, only Deoksu, the thug, played the game fairly and won. Sure, he changed the game but the soldier allowed it. Both Gihun and Sangwoo unfairly manipulated Ilnam and Ali and Saebyeok only won due to Jiyeong’s self-sacrifice. It’s fascinating to see how everyone acted in this situation. I find it interesting how we understand Gihun yet we criticize Sangwoo when they both exploited their partners. Sure, Ilnam knew all along, but Gihun didn’t. Gihun was willing to let the old man who he kept protecting throughout the games die to survive. Gihun isn’t that different from Sangwoo here. They both prioritized self-preservation and survival over their morals. I know a lot of us feel like we’d act like Jiyeong and sacrifice ourselves to save someone else, but Sangwoo and Gihun are the most realistic people here. It’s easy for us viewers to say that we wouldn’t betray our partners and let them die if we were playing the game as we watch from the comfort of our homes, but it would be different in real life. People easily turn against each other, like if there’s a problem at work, school, or among your friends or family. Most people would pin the blame on someone else and assume that they’re faultless. Very few of us would be honorable and willing to die for a stranger we just met a few days ago, which just makes Jiyeong’s sacrifice all the more admirable and sad.

This episode broke my heart. I ended up with such a horrible headache from crying so much.... And i cry at every reaction I've watched of it.

Sang-woo's relationship with Ali is a symbol of government and society. If you don't work the system, the system's going to work you.

Whenever Kendell says “I hate it”, I love it 🤣

bruh watching this made me cry all over again just like the first time

I legit needed a couple of days of post-Squid Game recovery. I just binged watched interviews with the cast (they're absolutely lovely!) to make myself feel better because this fucking show ....

I have cried so many times watching reactions to this episode. It has been a a long time since i have watched reactions to this show. But here i am... again... crying.

25:34 My boo, with the black top on, she was trying to hold it back but lost it when Ji Yeong got shot. God bless your heart, boo. 🙏🙏🙏

Gi Hun and Sang Woo both used their mothers for their own gain. They both tried tricking their friends in this game. They are very similar.

Sang Woo: "Sometimes the best thing a flower can do for us is to die".

The confusion abt the cop and his brother: He DID find his brother’s name in the files. He discovered that he was the winner of the 2015 games. What he COULDNT find was the specific file on his brother. After seeing his brother’s name in the book of winners, the cop goes to the 2015 archives (that houses all of the players of that year). When looking through it, the page would have his brother’s information was NOT there. Can’t remember the exact numbers but essentially it went 32, 33, 34, SKIPS 35, and straight to 36. That’s what the comments were trying to explain last time. Hope this helps.

There is no actor in the world who played an old man with dementia better than Player 1.

I’m dying laughing at the guard by Ali and Sang-Woo joke 🤣🤣🤣 Totally true. Dude on the inside of his mask was like don’t do it bro

Anyone noticed even the guard took a couple of seconds to accept Sang Woo's bag of marbles? He must be rolling his eyes under that mask LOL

i love how expressive you all were in this,i hardly watched any of the dramatic parts because i was tryna see yalls reactions😂. but yea i think this is one of the best episodes to see people react to, & loved watching how yall have to over the episode come to grips with half of these ppl dying up until they start dying😂

I love the way the math teacher pronounces the word “obviously”

Episode 1: Game 1: Red light, green light Episode 2: No game, vote, return home, return to game Episode 3: Game 2: Honeycomb candy Episode 4: Game 3: Tug of war, part 1 (also overnight strobe fight) Episode 5: Game 3: Tug of war, part 2 (organ harvest is exposed) Episode 6: Game 4: Marbles (vast majority view this as the emotional climax of the series) 3 episodes remain. 2 games remain.

I really love this reaction!! Y'all are so smart and actually understand the message of the show and that's sooo refreshing. Can't wait for the other episodes!!

I really wish commenters wouldn't continue to aggressively warn and semi-spoil everyone about episode six (don't y'all say nothing about the last episode!)

This episode ripped the soul right out of my chest. 199 was my favorite character in the entire series. You made me laugh so hard at the end tho. 🤣

I love you guys lol, you're so different but so funny together.

I looove your reactions to this series, so glad I found them! I binged Squid Game up until this episode then I had to take a break cause I sobbed so hard I gave myself a migraine. Also love your post watch chats, they make me think of things I didn't even realize!

I've been waiting for this the most

Oh Ali , the strong reliable immigrant always gets crushed under the wheel. Nativity

I love y’all’s reactions cause it’s like hanging out in my old liberal arts college freshman year 😆.

Deok-su has the tattoo, but the real snake is Sang-woo.

So jazzed to see you all do another Squid Game reaction. Almost as fun as watching the show through the first time.

People in the comments said what? The cop did find his brothers name, that’s why he said in-ho

I been waiting so long for this. Its such a nice journey to watch this with yall hehe

Aw, your reactions when realizing the pairs were playing against each other was so sweet.

The scene with the two girls got me. The thank you for playing with me and the way she got blasted was fked up.

I’ve never cried watching a movie or show until this episode smh

“I just realized I wasn’t breathing” lol

I just finished 5 what a coincidence!😂

Such a good episode. Loved the reaction.

I agree that Sang-woo and Gi-hun essentially did the same thing to their partners, but with Gi-hun at least, you can tell that he feels bad about taking advantage of the old man. His expression says it all, it's tearing him up inside to do this. And while we may not want to admit it, in that scenario, a lot of us would probably do the same thing. Sang-woo doesn't feel that bad about taking advantage of Ali. He's doing whatever it takes to survive and it doesn't matter to him who gets hurt along the way. Unpopular opinion here, but Sang-woo is my favorite character. I wish he hadn't betrayed Ali, but I understand why he does the things he does. Is he a good guy? Of course not, but I can see why he's such a bad guy. What drives him to deceive and manipulate others. I always tend to like the villains though, lol. Great reaction ladies, looking forward to the next one!

The game is "fair" in that all of the players are equally in the dark and equally affected by random chance--as opposed to when the doctor had insider knowledge as to what type of game was coming up.

Great job ladies!

HERE WE GOOOOO

OMG this had me crying!!!

Commenters, don’t hype up episodes or twists or anything cause that’s really just a spoiler and will make them go into these episodes expecting something specific to happen like that which makes it not as authentic

16:25 no the guard shouldn’t explain. How you interpret & handle vague rules is part of the game.

This was the episode that broke everyone😭😭😭

Lmaooo Tiana at the end cracked me tf up

5:50 because those phones can’t be traced smh lol 😂

Great Reaction, can’t wait for you to see 7-9

Everybody hating on SANG WOO, for tricking ALI, but nobody is hating on GI-HAN for tricking IL-NAM.. just because Gi-han have a more likeable personality the Sang Woo..

Eyyyy Squid Squad

“I HATE IT! NO I HATE IT!” Girl, truer words have never been spoken

Pro-tip: Turn of auto-play on Netflix by logging into your account settings on the web interface. They don't allow you to adjust the setting within the app.

Early squad hehe

5:40 I love that her thought of an “old” phone was 1994…. I need to go lie down now.

좋은 리액션 잘 봤습니다.

The best part is undoubtedly Bukola's "I am so done with this shit"-face.

"Bottomless brunch," lol!

Hi ladies. I just wanted to share something quick with you, that I have learned myself. When watching any Korean dramas or movies on Netflix, please choose "English" subtitles, NOT "ENGLISH CC" which you are currently using right now. The first one is more accurate. Thank you. 💖✌️🙏

The purely sadistic episode

5:10 the detective did find his brother's name at the very last moment of episode 5 (it ended with the subtitle In-ho which is his brother's name and he's the winner of 2015 game), on a little side note, @3:33 Mi-nyeo says 'what are you looking at?' to the pink guy, don't know why subtitler went with 'go away', this is some badly translated version if i haven't mentioned it already...

The beautiful lady in black has the best reaction among the four. Very genuine. 👍

React to the next three asap yall reactions are fire!

The episode where the 2 Protagonist betrayed their friend to win, and the Thug played the game fairly and win..

TL;DR: "Emotional Damage!" man meme.

Slow burn😭😂

@ 19:30 ...... LOL!!!! I've never heard a woman said that line before. I have to remember that one. LOL!!!!!

19:30 ❤

I’m trying to react to tv shows/films too and I was wondering: what do you do to avoid getting your videos blocked and copyrighted? I tried uploading my Squid Game reaction but it got blocked worldwide😭 Any help or advice would be appreciated! Peace and love✌️

When the girl says, thank you for playing with me ... i lose my shit so bad man :c

Does everyone else at this point for reactions to this episode just skip to the executions?

1:05 total party wipe, always nice to see another rpg player in the wild

It's not only a warning but a contradiction. Later, you will see.

I’m sorry guys 😂

Re: "Thank you for playing with me." Ji-yeong says that she has no reason to live-and immediately Sae-byeok becomes a reason (drink margaritas, etc.). Soooo keep crying?

Was this netflix or bootlegged version ?? because the subtitles were a little bit odd haha 🤣

The games were on the walls the whole time.

“She said “oh boy”” No, you have the wrong Subs on. She said “oh honey” 😭

Netflix has nothing to do with the show. the director only has a contract with netflix to release the movie to reach viewers

capitalism.. jfc... this show makes me think of people I know and people in general who have been screwed over by their "partners", whether spouses, business partners, friends, etc. The mix of greed and necessity brings out the worst in people.

There’s something to be said about the able bodied men taking advantage of the elderly and a foreigner to survive

5:05 See, this is why you shouldn't read comments because of spoilers or wrong info. He did find his brother name.

Train to busan reaction please🙏❤

The eng sub translation is off ( too much differences to the original korean dialogues ), he/she acts ( the subbers ) as a new writer ( he/she adds the new lines ) lmao 😂

Your subtitles seem a bit weird. It's like a watered down version of the ones I have seen. It makes it sound like literally reading a script rather than more slang and emotional writing like the ones I seen. Great reaction though.

As much as I love Ali, I can't really say Sangwoo is a bad person for having his survival instincts kick in. It'd be quite common in a life or death situation.

This is why people gotta stop with their spoiling teaser shit. While saying "Yo this episode is going to fuck you up" isn't technically giving anything away, it's pretty easy to make the assumption that everyone's gonna die. So just like don't say anything because you're gonna ruin it for them

Ganbu no die.

28:25 what language is that?😭💀

You guys should react to Mr Beast Squid Game when you finish this series

I clicked so fast

❤❤

generous reaction of four sisters. good.

I think what we’ve realized is y’all can’t take long breaks or else cherished celebrities will die! Y’all gotta meet everyday to save our celebs!
