SQUID GAME Ending Explained | All Death Games Explained | Season 1 Full Recap 

this was amazing! great work. saw this channel grow from 100 to 2.4k. i feel like a proud subscriber 😢

The wife and husband realising they had to face each other instead of working together as pairs was too much for me.

All the character's death was already foreshadowed in Episode 2. Ali is eliminated because sang-woo took his marble the same as he took his boss money. Deok-su jumped on the bridge and was eliminated in the game by falling off the bridge. Sae-byeok die because she was stabbed on her neck same as she threatened someone with a knife on their throat. Sang-woo almost commit suicide in the bathtub and was eliminated from the game by killing himself. Also, the old man died from a brain tumor. Gi-hun swore on his mother's life, and his mother died in the end. Wow.

I’m still crying at saebyeok’s death and especially her last words, “I want to go home now” 😭😭😭😭

I love when the big bully guy threw her down and said "you are so clingy" Well she definitely showed it on the glass Bridge how more clingy she can be. Lol

I want netflix to return my tears i wasted on that old man

I can’t believe I shed a tear over that old man.

Let’s talk about how Gi-Hun keeps disappointing his daughter! Sad af!!

The only real problem I had with the show was the glass bridge blowing up and causing the girls death. Goes against the entire “fair chance” thing these games are supposed to have

Gi-Hun had cried so much that when he got home to find his mother dead on the floor, all he could do was whimper as he laid beside her. That scene, along with many others, broke me.

Ali getting backstabbed had me so fkn mad, he was such a pure soul

The deaths of the main players are also foreshadowed. The bully(player 101) jumped of the bridge to escape the thugs in the beginning of the movie, he has a similar death in game 5 when he falls off the bridge. Similarly, player 67 threatened a guy with a knife for her money that was lost and had a similar death when she was stabbed in the neck before the final squid game. Additionally, when player 456 wins, he also exits the train and enters the plane last at the end of the series, this supports the point of the series that "the last will be first" which is also a biblical scripture. There is alot of hidden details...

the saddest thing about 067 death is that, if she survived, she AND Gi-Hun would win, because the last game was a team game, and they would be in the same team.

"It is now clear that the old man has completely lost his mind." Darn, had the perfect opportunity to say that he had lost his marbles...

i was really rooting for 067, if she didn't get hurt i think she would have won

“Let’s hope Mr. Beast doesn’t get any good ideas” Well, that aged well 😅

Once I found out who the old man really was, i realized all of his actions meant something completely different than they seemed

One of the things I love about Korean films is that they do such a good job portraying the human emotion and I always feel something for the characters.

I wanted the two girls to survive they had ALL the chemistry in the marble game

''Make sure to click that like button, as it really helps my channel and helps keeping me from having to join squid game my damn self!'' LOL

Just realized, the game host knew no one would pair with the old man so ordered the guard to bring whoever didn't get into a group back to the dorm but then the old man was invited to the team and this explains why the woman wasn't killed and was sent back to the dorm.

I rewatched the series and i just find it ironic that the gift that Gihun gave his daughter was wrapped similar to the coffins of the game. The gift itself was a gun shaped lighter. The gun part of the gift foreshadowed alot of shooting later in the series and the lighter part foreshadowed those who died in the games is then cremated.

Literally cried when friends had to eliminate friends.

So much effort put in for our entertainment and so clearly explained while keeping it clean and not as gory as the film itself. Thumbs up!

this video sent a big message, smaller channels can be way better that really big ones, i really enjoyed the video and had fun, the memes the jokes, you voice is so calming btw, definitely worth a sub in my book!

I feel bad for Ali, he’s my favorite. Also that one girl with her brother :(

I think the marble game was set up so the old man would be left without a partner, giving an excuse to "eliminate" him. That might also be the reason he stalled until last minute, so other players wouldn't see that he wasn't truly killed.

I love when he says "by disguising himself as one of the shy guys"

Something I stopped wondering about, but was reminded of after watching the synopsis provided by this video, is: why those twenty or so people, who didn’t decide to return to the game, decided not to return to the game. Also how, if so, did they turn their lives around? Also, if Jun ho is fully dead? He was shot in the shoulder and fell into the sea but that might not mean death? Edit: just realized it was discussed in the video. I’m pretty sure he’ll still be alive. It’s all about the surprises and twists.

the girl with them in the final three, it’s sad to think about how she felt while getting her neck sliced, she was powerless and couldn’t do anything..

17:10 You missed a gold opportunity to say "...old man has lost his marbles"

218 was very calculative, even after they went home and he let player 199 use his phone, bought him food, and gave him bus fare. He saw him help 456 and knew he could use it to his advantage later by helping him then.

I think there is something you are obviously missing. When he (the cop) found the logs of the players, it appears that they run multiple games per year, judging by the number of volumes per year. This game was just one of many for that year. But the book of winners only shows one winner per year. So to me, this means the game is continuing, and all the winners from the year will eventually return to face off until there is an ultimate winner for the year. That winner then can become the front man if he chooses because anything else is not exciting enough. The VIP’s are funding the games, but their ages suggest they were never players in the game itself. But I would bet each of them has their own island and their own games that they play ran by their own front man. Because the old man was the host of this game, it seems only logical. Because gamblers are addicts, they need the fix. What would be better than going to a new game every week? I cannot see them waiting for just a yearly game. And the cop was shot in his shoulder. The exact same place he had retrieved his phone from. I think he was shot but the majority of the shot hit the phone. So, I guess we shall see!

Why is no one talking about Junho’s storyline?! I was rooting for his success of exposing the game and the twist of finding his brother is so insane! A major twist and totally helped pick up suspense!

This series is so full of moral dilemmas that I honestly didn't know who was right and who was wrong...every choice and mindset felt wrong and right at the same time

this explains why the front man stopped the fights cuz the old guy is the one behind this and he was truly sscared cuz he just joined for "fun"

Squid game "ending" explained *proceeds to explain the entire movie*

Aren’t we like the VIP’s; Watching people die and suffer for our entertainment.

That level of equality was total bullshit. Because in the bridge game the altered events so the glass worker couldn’t use his skills. The men are able to use their bodies to gain advantage, and so are people with critical thinking skills. But not the guy who has work experience with glass? That’s not equality. Especially when somebody else tried it before during that game. That show of “kindness” or apology was a joke to manipulate players.That’s why they had to vote too. To feel like a democracy and put onus on the players - “well you must’ve wanted it because you came back for more!”

I cried so hard when Sae-Byeok died. She was my favorite character. Rest In peace Sae-Byeok.

Perfect synopsis! This is undoubtedly an amazing show that kept me on the edge of my seat. I too was feeling that definitely there Has to be a second season as there was several stories there that need to be told like the brothers and the guy turning back And not getting on the plane. Thank you!

Gi-hun seemed so needy and greedy until i learned about his situation. As i watched through, I started notice he was actually the kindest person out of all 456 contestants. He only ever attempted to kill someone: the old man, when it was his only option besides death. Even after, he cried in the mans' arms before he "died", and that scene was really powerful for me. Gi-Hun is my favorite character in this show.

Honestly I do not blame 17 for choosing not to reveal his knowledge of glass to some of the others. His reason was logical and understandable . Even though we do not know his full character, based off that act and words he said from that scene I assume he was one of the quiet characters who was watching and observing the others and their actions. Due to most of them killing, starting fights and the backstabbing in general I get why he did not want to do it . Not to mention if he did he would have been bullied and preasured by the others.

I laughed a little too much when he said "subscribing helps keep me from having to join squid game myself"

Thanks for the video. I did start watching but had it spoiled for me so can't be arsed to watch the rest while knowing the important parts

I like how the games become progressively about killing one another to survive. I just rewatched tug-of-war coz the strategy there was satisfying to watch but this time I also noticed, especially in the character of the pastor, that they all seemed stunned even though they won, and I realised that it was the first game they had to actively kill someone else to win. In this game though, you can argue that you’re killing for the greater good of saving the whole team; but gradually in the subsequent games it’s all about yourself. Excellent script!

Me: Watches all of Squid Game Also Me: Watches a whole recap of Squid Game because of how good the show was

This was an excellent explanation vid! I needed this

this was really helpful thx a lot

Totally roller coaster of emotions

Felt so bad for marbles. Everything set her up to fail. She killed her dad from self Defense and she should’ve received treatment not jail. And they took advantage of her situation by picking her up STRAIGHT from jail. Predatory. And 067 just had horrible luck. Making it all the way through to just get stabbed by glass. So so sad. The loan sharks were def forgotten about lol. He didn’t spend any of the money but they never came to get his body parts?

Binge watched, could not stopped watching. Excellent series.

Super well done man . Love to see smaller creators making bangers like this one. Keep it up man

I think one of the best/most shocking reveals for me was the detective finding all the past documents. Learning that this has been going on for almost 20 years with no inkling of any investigation. All those people dead/missing but no reports or attempts to connect the dots

The Deok-su and Han Mi-nyeo death scene on the bridge was epic. Deok-su was SO mad and couldn’t do anything 😂

This is the best explanation and recap of Squid Game I’ve tuned on to so far! Excellent! Also the first time I heard more abt Jun Ho and his missing brother!

Just finished squid game and Ali and sae-byeok was the saddest death I cried and I can’t believe I cried for the old guy

Ali’s death was depressing because the poor brother foolishly believed Sang-woo’s words... but Sang woo’s character is real. We might not like what he did to Ali but the man had to do that in order to survive. I doubt there was a way for both of them to walk out of there together... unless your the old man, then idk one had to die 😕

The saddest deaths were Ji-Young and Ali, I wasted my tears on Il-Nam and the best death was Deuk-Su and Mi-Nyeo but I cried the most on 𝐀𝐥𝐢.

4:37 "Let's hope Mr Beast doesn't get any ideas..." *Mr Beast literally planning to recreate Squid Game*

I think the staff are recruited prisoners. Probably ones with long sentences for violent crimes involving gang activity, but not life sentences. Criminals who don't care being bossed around just as long as they get to inflict violence on people. Basically a typical foot soldier in a gang or cartel, like the yakuza of Japan or something. The Front Man probably gave them an offer of "Work for us and your sentence will be severely reduced, but disobey us, expose us, or put our operation at risk and we will execute you." I don't see a lot of people with life sentences taking that offer because if they can never be free again then what is the point?. The lifers will still be living a prison lifestyle, on the island, without the reward of early release but with the added risk of being shot for disobedience. Death row inmates I think would be skipped over for being inherently untrustworthy. Join me or die is not the best start to a working relationship that requires the utmost secrecy and loyalty.. Definitely not the best incentive. That's why some of the workers are secretly harvesting organs, because the current incentives aren't enough for some of them. If the staff were going to be confined to the island for the rest of their lives they wouldn't be trying to make money on the side. It's not like there's a Walmart on the island or something. But yeah, I think the staff are recruited from low level criminals with some military training, which is easy to find considering all South Koreans are drafted into the military for basic training. One thing I don't get is why have those body painted people in the observation/drinking room? Seems like an unnecessary risk to me, leaving their faces uncovered like that. Even if their faces are painted you could still probably recognize them. I don't know, maybe I'm just thinking about this too much. Kind of hard not to, it's a great show.

I really wish the cop returns for season 2. The way they introduced his brother as the frontman was a cheap twist and I hated that they killed him after everything. His side plot was amazing and doesn't deserve that poor ending.

The last game named Squid was the most exciting game I’d ever played which was popular in S. Korea about 35 yrs ago, short-lived, though. Usually 10 or more players play altogether. It’s very brutal, violent game, torn clothes, bruised and scratched body, sometimes broken bone,… such a bloody game.

Loved it. Weldon! You have done a great job. I just saw the whole squid game in 30 minutes.

Thank you. I didn’t catch that the head guy was the cop’s brother, nor that he had been a winner in an earlier year. Wow.

In the end, in my opinion, the VIPS and game creators were truly the worst of them all. The players did awful things, yes, but it’s because they had miserable lives outside of the game and they didn’t just kill each other for fun. The game creators preyed on people who were miserable, knowing that there was a good chance they’d come back because they needed money. The game creators were the ones who enjoyed people killing each other for enjoyment. Yes, I’m mad at characters for being ruthless or betraying one another. But the VIPS and creators are the worst of all.

“All of the dead contestants are carried away and cremated in a coffin cosplaying as a gothic Christmas present” Me favorite quote from this video

this was a great recap i understand season 1 now thanks for the great recap

I felt really sad when player 199 died He was so nice!

This is THE video if you need a “I didn’t watch it” catch-up to understand all the memes and regain your sanity.

There’s a theory that Ill nam is actually Gi Huns father, because they both said the marble game neighborhood was where they lived when they were young and because Ill nam said Gi Hun was just like his son. Also, at the beginning of the show, when Gi Hun puts his birthday in the ATM, it’s April 26. And during the marble game Ill nam asked if it was April 24, and that his sons birthday was coming up.

thank you soo much for making this its very good and i love the show even more now that is explaned

This is the best recap of a show I've ever seen. Thanks for the great work.

The ending was interesting in that he dyed his hair red just like the red cloaks symbolizing he might go back to fight them as another "squid" - there's got to be a tie in with the Korean police and 456 somehow - seemed like the front man came back just like 456 is so there must be a connection - perhaps that's the next series

🦑 GAME! The marbles had me tearing up. The game did everyone dirty, especially the husband and wife even though they weren’t the main characters. It was definitely a game that everyone’s worst came out. I was bawling at Ali’s death. You’re right. He was too naive and ended up trusting the wrong person 😩😩 Gi Hun ended up taking advantage of the old man even though he was kind to the man all along, especially when he chose to partner up with him instead of leaving him without a partner. The girls, they had a chance to talk about their lives and shared their problems... truly sad but I feel like they purposely added her (ji yeong) in there just so we can see that the other girl wasn’t as cold as we all thought her to be...

Great explanations

Totally agree - one of the better original stories out there. Great job putting this summary together!

when the old man was pleading for them to stop because he was scared, that message was not for the players but for the front man, it was the same as a safe word used on extreme sex, to let the other know that u dont want to continue or to stop, he was telling Front Man to stop, that was the safe word they used since he was their boss, by stopping the massacre, they were protecting him and not the players themselves

There’s several clues throughout the show that hint 001 is 456’s father. -When 456 refuses to drink regular milk, 001 says his son hated milk too. -On October 24, 001 says his son’s birthday is coming soon. 456 birthday is Oct 31. -During the marble game 001 says he lived in a similar neighborhood, 456 says so did he. -The door of the house where 001 gets “killed” at is the same as 456’s mother’s house.

Wow. Crazy that this channel is so small. I'm glad this video blew up!

my sister came in my room while i was watching ali's death and trying not to cry, but she saw him and started singing prince ali from alladin x-x

I always thought that Sang Woo was awoken by Gi-hun’s yelling for the guards for help but seeing that he was awake the whole time just adds a level of sinister 😭

“If you enjoy the video, make sure to click that like button as it really helps my channel and helps keep me from having to join SQUID GAME myself. “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I subbed because going viral is DOPE! CONGRATS!!!

Nice camera action!I LOVE SQUID GAME

still can’t believe i mourned for 001 he tricked us all

In season 2 there should be new death games like 1. Hide and seek with the armed guards as the seekers 2. Hot potato with hand grenades 3. Duck Duck Goose with shotguns 4. Obstacle course with traps 5. Tightrope 6. Last 2 players play chess and loser dies

i didn't want to watch the whole series so this explained it really well, thanks

I watched Squid Game this past weekend. You did an awesome job on the recap 👍🏾

I love the show. Moral-wise, I hated after first 2 games, that people were forced to kill each other and there was ment only 1 finals winner. I liked the idea people could help each other instead. Scene with Ali, two girls playing marbles - that was heartbreaking and felt really unfair.

to be honest the ending really annoyed me. when the bank manager said its been a year and he hasnt touched the money - meaning he hasnt taken care of 067's family like he promised! her brother had to sit in that orphanage with no clue for a whole year !! and then he finally talks to his daughter and tells her he'll see her soon only to abandon her at the last second. just makes me think he's still a dead beat dad.

i am crying now I AM SOO SAD thank you so much Horror Mine for uploading this video . I rlly wanted to watch this

Would they have let the old man fall to his death in tug of war? His plan failed and they had to be saved at the last minute, I wonder how the guards would have protected his life

The saddest part about his mum dying is that he took part in the games for him AND his mother so he could pay the hospital bill 😖🥲

I can’t really bear to watch this much death and great characters dying, this video really helped and I can tell that the story was well written in my opinion. thank you for making this brief summary!

I feel like Junho isn't dead and will play an important role at S2, and I am eagerly waiting for it.

Thankyou very much for explaining this!! I really appreciate it

I forgot old man ended the game with tie breaking vote. And that the fight was stopped when the old man made his crying speech. Oh. And this explains why he was so good at the first game! He was in on it the whole time.

Thank you to everyone who watched and helped the video reach 1 Million views! I am overwhelmed by the reception and all your kind words! I know that the video isn’t perfect and there are things that I missed. However I put a lot of time and effort into making this video and I am truly grateful and humbled by the reception! (Also I apologize for calling it Green Light, Red Light and I recognize that I am an uncultured swine)

I also initially felt that prior to the Big Reveal at the end of the movie about Il-Nam, that the reason he was so gleeful to participate, esp in game 1, is because he'd played this sick version before and he'd been to this camp and won. That's why he was 001. So he was acting as the rabbit of sorts to get people to understand how game would be played
