I didn't expect that this girl from the amusement park would eventually become a triangle. I can't understand, didn't Song Ki-hoon assume that they wouldn't be outplayed? As if it was super expected... Actually, it's interesting, I'm glad that they remembered about Se Bek. It's a little boring in places, but it seems to me that it's about expectations and reality. Finally, the Game!
Moreover, this year there are only 7 episodes in the second season, not 9 as in the first season. And 2 out of 7 is the introduction
I'm shocked they were filmed, and not only were there even fewer episodes, but they also pulled 2 episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if season 3 was also 7 episodes or less.
@vk728323: I don't know what will happen there, but the two seasons are the same, and if they make the same 9 episodes, then 16 in total is the Korean standard.
It's hard not to notice how much Ki Hong has "grown" personally. In the first season, he was a tough jerk, but now he's like this... He's all on edge, has a goal, and won't back down until he reaches it. It's a pity that he only went through such a cruel game.
The last shots of the departing trucks are a direct punch in the gut and the realization of how desperate you need to be in life to take part in such "entertainment". It seems that the second season will be more dramatic and with a greater emphasis on psychology than the first.
@kingforthesirens: I am glad that they show the growth of the character (it would look very strange otherwise), because after such an experience it is simply not possible to remain the same, the psyche is clearly shaken.
Transformation, as they say, on the face.. If in the first season he was a smiling man who just goes with the flow, now his character has become much deeper.. It feels like he's not just acting anymore, but doing it with desperate determination, as if he has no other choice. Really powerful character development.
It was logical that people who can safely unbuckle 45 billion won would not be beaten so easily.) I agree with the commentators above, it's not a one-season thing. I hope for success with the next episode~
What a thrill, starting from the screensaver and on the credits, there is time to reflect on the events of the series. I watched the second episode and thought, what's next? I'm going to watch all eight episodes now. And then what?
It seems to me that when Ki-hoon is brought in, they will pull out his tooth with a sink. Considering that in order to pick him up, they immediately covered their entire plan, and it means that they clearly know more than they initially seem
I join you, the series is more of an introductory and passing one again, the moment with the tooth chip is really a bit thoughtless, I don't think the creators are stupid enough not to be on the lookout, they have already shown more than once that many people from different fields work there. And then the one who won a large sum returns. And anyway, give me the games as soon as possible, since 456 is invited again.
Unexpectedly at the end. It seemed to me that since she hadn't found her child, she decided to help the sick girl and go to the game. Employees are also likely to receive decent wages for the season...
@Vinona: I was also surprised, I was completely sure that she would go as a participant to try to earn money. And then there's the twist that she's a maintenance person.
@Djigman: Of course, I don't support bookmakers. But I'm sure you didn't watch it on Netflix yourself, but thanks to such investors, we can watch many TV series in translation. Although I only watch this one with subtitles.
@Vinona: The more it was shown, the more I wanted to write a comment that a homeless person living in a car in a parking lot couldn't risk his life for a stranger instead of solving his own problems. Of course, there was a chance, especially to give an artistic effect, but they still decided to put it in a twist.
@Vinona: Apparently, with the help of her story, they will show just behind the scenes and where the guards come from. And since she was invited there, it means that she is not so simple (apparently she has the skills, since she escaped from North Korea), besides, she brought a whole bundle of money to the man who was looking for her daughter - she hardly earned that much as an animator. Or maybe they even promise to help her find a child to make her work. All in all, an interesting twist
@albinka_: In the episode, it was said that she was an officer in North Korea. Just like her husband. And the photo was shown in a uniform. These are the trained people who are hired. The psyche must be stable, and the ability to follow orders.
@vk728323: Well, I wouldn't say that. It's not so easy to find people for this job, and that's why they call those who have worked with them before. And there are games a week a year, so the rest of the time they are busy with other things.
Also interesting Either the speed is predisposed to something, or they see that a person is not exactly a homeless person, so to speak, but he needs money for long-term goals and therefore he is chosen by the staff
Although after their words, the one in the mask of the main one and the one who distributes the cards that they are not people but garbage, etc. somehow I can not believe that they could out of the goodness of their hearts choose people from the street and help them and listen to their staff and pay them a lot of money for it
That's where the fun and cool part begins. I love this series. That's how, you can go to bed here until you watch the entire season of the TV series fire
I don't quite understand how they define the players and those who will be the staff. Here is one of the riddles that is not yet clear. I thought they were initially determined by playing Tag, but now it is not clear at all.
@Vasiys: I think they only recruit people who are familiar with murder and blood. Those who do not hesitate, but simply do the job assigned. I can't imagine Kihun or anyone else from the first season who would agree to clean up the corpses after every game.
Pupupu... I wonder if 456 will be able to achieve what he plans 🤔 will he be able to be as lucky as the first time (if it's even fashionable to call it that) Fingers crossed for him🤞🏻🤞🏻
And the girl from the park?! I thought she was going to be a gambler.. I'm curious how it's distributed in general.
It seems to me that this season they are trying to dig "deeper", to reveal more nuances, including the outside world. I think that if, like last season, the main focus was only on games, it would be exciting, but at the same time it would be an obvious self-repetition and stomping on the spot. There is also an attempt to move away from this.
)Well, you didn't think that the organizers would just let themselves be covered like that?) No, they're too cool for that. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail. I wouldn't be surprised if Song Ki-hoon has another chip sewn in, who knows which part of his body 🤣
I took two episodes today, I plan the rest for tomorrow and maybe the final the day after tomorrow, depending on how I manage. And tomorrow there's a new episode of the Agency, uh...)
And I liked that this season has a slightly slower start, rather than immediately playing and killing, revealing the characters a little better. The end of last episode is powerful, but it's just fine here, I didn't watch the trailer, so I was surprised that this girl has a different role (also a triangle), it will be interesting to look at the events through her eyes.
P.S. It turns out that the fool in the pig costume specifically bypassed this girl ((
@Fhsys: The first time the lollipops were distributed, the pig walked past the girl, and the bunny noticed her. The second time, he walked past the girl, but he was already in a bunny costume.
@kobiii: I thought it was an accident, but it turns out not (Very harsh. I also had a thought, suddenly the girl felt sick because of this, because she was waiting for a bunny so much.
This kind of plot is interesting. It's a little thing that you might not notice, but it reveals a lot about the character. Indeed, even in a different suit, he still avoided her.
The main character's motivation to return to the game sounded unconvincing. The episode didn't show much, it was probably a setup for the next episode.
Oh, the last minute is not paid. I was sure that the girl, out of desperation, would go to play as a participant, not a supervisor. Otherwise, it's a bit boring, even predictable.
@DaVinci47: As I understand it, this is not the first time this girl has been traveling as a staff. Did you notice how she reacted when she bumped into Ki-hoon on the landing?! She recognized him, or thought he was someone she knew. She stopped and looked at him for a reason.
on the one hand, the organizers are clearly not fools and they keep an eye on everything and everyone, and they will definitely carefully check each player , but damn, in the very first season, a policeman managed to get to the island unnoticed , if plan 456 rolls, it won't be interesting, so most likely everything will go to hell and they will find an earphone in their ear. and most likely they will check for any other pieces. There's an interesting line about the bunny, which means they'll show us in more detail what's going on on the other side, not just dismemberment and rich clients.
What a cool symbolism when the heroine changed from a cute, innocent animator costume to a killer costume! And in general, I really like that this season they are digging deeper.
The unexpected twist is that the girl turned out not to be a player. Well, it's kind of strange to choose them, of course, she can get fucked up from what she sees and do stupid things?
The storyline with the sick girl is the most dramatic so far, and the twist at the end with the animator girl turned out to be really unexpected. I wonder what all this will lead to in the end.
It would seem that a cute bunny It seems to me that the course of events with this girl will be the most unpredictable.. How she was able to join the ranks of the triangles in the first place is very interesting..
@MaricMezhe: This is probably not the first time this girl has participated in the games. She probably started with a circle. And she had 2 incisions on her wrist, maybe it was after the previous games, where she took part as a circle and then a square marker.
@MaricMezhe: this is not a hierarchy, but a specialization. The circle is the staff, the triangle is the security guard, the square is the manager. Why should they move forward? It's like when a janitor in prison gets promoted to security and then to warden. 😆
@Hidji: I disagree. In the scene with the recruiter (Gong Yoo), he reveals before his death that he initially worked as a corpse cleaner. However, after gaining trust, he was promoted to the role of recruiter.
@MaricMezhe: How do you imagine the transition from scavengers to guards? Professionals should be selected there initially. Ex-soldiers, cops, or the like with experience in crowd control and handling guns. And not just those who distinguished themselves at the burning of corpses.
@Hidji: I agree, when it comes to the role of snipers. That said, I can also see how someone who has proven themselves, like the cleaner, might be entrusted with tasks such as monitoring security or overseeing the cameras. After all, the recruiter’s role is quite complex as well.
@MaricMezhe: The triangles are armed, and the circles can sit behind the cameras. Understand that this is not a distribution by salary sheets, but only by activity. Circles on the service cycle, triangles - armed control and suppression of inappropriate actions. Control, protection, elimination, and suppression of aggression.
@Hidji: I agree with you that experienced people are selected for such professions. Above, I assumed that it would be possible to switch to another specialization, based on the recruiter's story. In any case, these are only assumptions; we were not shown how exactly the personnel selection takes place.
It's a filler series, but the bunny girl makes this whole series fascinating. Of course, I was most afraid that the scriptwriters would follow the well-trodden path and bring GG back into the game. But apparently they didn't have enough for more. The chip will most likely either be found or there are jammers on the island. Otherwise, everything will end with the storming of the island, and then you can safely skip the series.
As for the girl, I think she will eventually go to her daughter, and before that she will want to help, I think she will also say one last thing to help that girl. I wish I could be wrong)
And this is an interesting twist) Now they will also reveal how they become not only players, but also those who lead this game. It's a good thing that we continued the plot, because at first one season was planned. And it's clear that it's not a passing season, but rather a deeper one! I also thought how Ki Hong has changed! It's like 2 different actors are playing - super!
This is a career development: from a pink bunny to a pink triangle) I agree with all those who commented: it was unexpected and I thought that she would also become a player. No wonder her uniform photo was shown, apparently, she had military training in North Korea, hence the recruitment to the pink team.
Ki Hong, of course, has grown as a person. In the first season, he annoyed me terribly, here he is already a serious person, focused on his goal. It's sad, though, that he had to go through a similar school of life to do this.
Two episodes is a bit much for the introduction. It feels like the first episode was shot purely to show the character of Kong Yu (the recruiter) in all its glory, but I already want bread and circuses, and the first two episodes could be put into one. Oh well.
I look at actor Lee Jin-wook (an artist from the park and the father of a sick girl) and immediately catch flashbacks of Sweet Home.
There is a feeling that this is a transitional season, but I still like its pace, despite actually having two preparatory series. And the battle of the philosophies of the protagonist and capitalist viewers is interesting. Gg's metamorphosis and personal growth are generally excellent.
P.S. I hired the best specialists: from China and North Korea. Great!)
@Mirzoevshama: I'm wondering if Song Ki-hoon is throwing a barrel at such a powerful, rich organization. Okay, did he give up on himself, did he think he was immortal, but wasn't he afraid for a mother and daughter at all?
Apparently, the inside of the game will also be shown this season. It would be interesting to know not only how people get into this game as players, as we were shown in the first season, but also how people decide to be on the other side.
The plan of the geniuses was no different: okay, the boss's friend and the foot soldiers, but Chun Ho and Ki Hung knew exactly who they were dealing with. Did they really think that a typical interception plan would help them? I believe that plan B will be to stupidly infiltrate the detective into the ship after the
I don't particularly like the fact that, supposedly, because of the popularity of Sae Baek, it was decided to create a +-like character in the person of a fugitive from North Korea who is trying to regain her family, but the end was pleased with the twist that we will be shown the side of the squid.
But that's more interesting... An unexpected twist with the division into guards and ordinary players. But as if untrained people could rebel, and what are the guards fighting for? Will they be in danger too? Or it's enough to just shoot all the players, there's not much logic yet. But I have to stay alone too, right? There are a lot of questions ... It was funny to see the villain from sweet home, which I just watched😅 and the girl is also familiar to me from some drama, the devil's judge, or something 🤔 in general, it's nice to see familiar faces 🙂
Some such strange feelings, as if the highlight of the series has been lost. I can't say that it's interesting to watch, given the fact that Episode 2 is just passable... you watch on the machine, just as a tribute to the first season 🦑
"Aaastanavity game" - "well, OK, if you ask so.". Was that the answer he was counting on?))) does he really think that after hearing his fiery speeches they will think twice and decide to cancel the games?) A naive fool. Their plan is also brilliant, and I knew it would shit itself. But a twist with a bunny girl is not bad) I didn't understand the moment, why did a man in a pig costume (and then in a bunny) deliberately ignore a sick girl?
@Iradakzlv: The man in the piggy costume did not intentionally ignore the girl, it happened by accident. First, he went into the locker room and without looking around, he just started to take off his mask faster, because it was hellish hot and stuffy in such suits. And then he just didn't recognize her in the crowd, or he didn't pay attention, because there are a lot of such children there, and I guess when you work at this pace every day, all the children, especially the little ones, look the same. He caught sight of another child and gave him a piece of candy as he passed, that's it. The chela had no secret meaning or malicious intent)
@Patologoanatom: He walked past her like that for two days in a row. Why did he give the child next to her a piece of candy? if it doesn't make sense, then why did they show it to us? hmmm...
@Iradakzlv: sometimes blue curtains are just blue curtains) Rather, we were shown not that the man in the suit passed by, but that the child remembered the kindness from the pink rabbit. Therefore, she began to look for a new encounter with the magical beast and, of course, was upset when he did not recognize her and passed by. I do not exclude that this moment was made simply in order to introduce the girl's father and the woman in the pink suit in advance. And the man in the piggy costume is just a minor character in the background)
@Iradakzlv: It also seemed suspicious that he had very successfully found the brother of the presenter, whom he had deliberately shot in the shoulder, and not in the chest or head. Maybe they paid him to catch him, take him to the hospital, and keep an eye on him. Well, or it's some kind of plot magic: unreal luck that he was so lucky to be accidentally seen in waters with a strong current by one person who doesn't even have a team of assistants (who could have noticed the body in the water). He also replied so evasively, "Oh, I can't say exactly the place, there's a strong current there, you probably got carried away.";
Apparently, few people expected to see a girl in the ranks of employees, but this makes it even more interesting.
I wonder what GG is trying to achieve by joining the ranks of the players again, but one thing is for sure — he is unlikely to lose, so you don't have to worry about his life yet.
Current events, but significant. We only got to the games now... I'm waiting for the development. It is clear that Gi Hong will act inside the game, and his assistants outside, something pretty cool is planned. The girl from the park decided to earn money for the girl's treatment? And who is this girl? Nothing is clear and we need flashbacks. One thing I didn't understand and didn't accept in this episode was that they invited the doctor to remove the tooth and insert it with a beacon. If he's capable of it, then he's a doctor. Why did he take the instruments but not bring an ampoule of painkillers? They paid him handsomely. Unnecessary suffering for the sake of additional tin is completely unjustified here. They don't remove a tooth on a desert island, but in a city where pharmacies are on every corner.
@Aniana: And who said that without anesthesia? Because you've never had a tooth removed or drilled, it still leaves you with discomfort, especially if you tear a healthy tooth that holds well.
@id73010830: removed, the discomfort is not the same twisting of fingers and restrained howling as in the series. They definitely tore it out without anesthesia.
@Aniana: Maybe you didn't want to sit down? It's one thing to do clandestine dental surgery, but it's another thing to inject a person with anesthesia that will knock him out.
No, it's not, it's a crazy reason. But I can't think of another one.
Although, maybe it's not even a doctor. After all, he gave out the tooth, like, with an ordinary clip. Maybe he's just an expert on these chips.
@_berkeya: not delusional. From anesthesia or anesthesia, you can normally throw away skates if you don't do it correctly. But it's really more for drama than any adequate reason.
@deadtobefree: No, I know that you can really die. I'm talking about delirium rather than the fact that anesthesia is hardly the biggest fear in such operations.
@_berkeya: In the context of what is being discussed, Dochter's biggest fear is that he will not be paid. But on the other hand, the doctor doesn't care, the client wants to suffer without pain relief, so the client needs it)
I thought he would make a bet saying let's play a game, if I win, you will close the branch in Korea ( apparently, the game is not only held there and it is only a branch, in fact, if he wants to close the game, then you need to close all branches ) they've already bugged him, obviously they know how to check for such things. That is, such a sentence itself does not make sense , let's play the game again , no matter what ? To make the rich people laugh again ? Or let's play a game to win another 30 lakhs of bucks?
@czar: Apparently, he just hoped to get to the island and reveal their location so that his mercenaries would show up there. But in general, all his plans are as clumsy as possible, in a couple of years it was possible to think better. He should have hired a strategist, the same Professor from House of Cards or the dude from Escape :D In short, apparently we won't see any graceful confrontation here, Song Ki-hoon will just play games again.
@albinka_: Well, it's really strange with the tooth, they obviously check the body for various objects and set up their own tracker. So it was a bit naive with the tooth.
@czar: The recruiter is desperate and thus proves to himself that he is recruiting people for a reason to their deaths, because they are slaughter cattle who live only by the thought of making money. That's how I understood this moment.
@czar: The squid game is for the poor. An allusion to the fact that even hungry people are faced with the choice of bread or hitting the jackpot, 99% will choose the chance to get rich. In fact, the series took the idea from the 1987 Running Man movie, only if the participants have no choice in the movie and the chance to win is a lie. In the series, the game is fun for the rich, but everything is +/- honest, and the main character's attempts to close the game are not clear to me, because the problem is not in it, well, don't become it, and that all these players will also be in debt and on the sidelines of life without a chance to get out. The game takes advantage of people's position, but it doesn't make them like that. Remove the game and nothing will change. It's like dealing with the symptoms, not treating the disease.
It's great that the creators show the recruitment process for the other side of the game. It will be interesting to find out what their "salary" is and how different the pay is for different employees. Many complain that it took two episodes to introduce, but it was interesting for me to watch. Yes, there are scenes that seem stretched out for the sake of timing, but overall it's very exciting.
@lucasscott: But she won't die. To be honest, I thought that she would survive the game and save the child, but Gi Hong would die, and I was upset. Although Gi Hong may still die, but the girl has a better chance of staying alive on the other side.
As many as 2 episodes as an introduction to the game😳 Personally, I'm glad that the character Ki Hong has grown up and already shows him as a person who has a clear goal 🎯👏🏼 Only now it seems that his chip is taken out and the policeman will lose track again 🫨 I hope this won't happen 🤞🏻 I'm holding my fists for player 456🥲😬
An unexpected end, I thought the girl would become a gambler to win the amount for the sake of the baby, But here she will be a service staff
Slightly weaker than the first series, but normal ^_^ That's why I love Korean cinema in general, it's the way they approach storytelling and story in general - practically any movie (series) of any genre turns into a thriller.
In general, the first two episodes were a thrill to watch.)
@Finn_The_Human: Yes, there aren't enough stars, but it's addictive. Even the Russian roulette game is so filmed that you're not sure if gg has a story armor or not.
That's the twist at the end of the episode. I understand now that those who wear masks also find them on the street. Well, they let us go behind the scenes of the games a little bit.
@Sabi-Vasabi: We were not shown the process of recruiting and searching for reds, the organizers of the games have a certain staff of employees whom they call up for seasonal work, they bring a card there, you decide for yourself whether you want to sneak in or not. Triangle has been recruited for a long time and has been working on other games.
@driveshaft: From somewhere, she had a lot of money to look for her daughter, hardly from her usual job as an animator. Besides, she didn't ask any questions, just took the card, came to the place and did everything with her usual movements.
@albinka_: in one of the episodes, the Administrator will later say: how long have we known each other? Or how long have we been working together? She will answer: 7 years old.
@driveshaft: @albinka_: in one of the episodes, then the Administrator will say: how long have we known each other? Or how long have we been working together? She will answer: 7 years old.
Eliminate the interference Return to the games to create problems ✅️✅️✅️✅️ " I love these plot assumptions where the antagonists play along with the characters as much as possible.
@George_Lightwood: to give rich people new impressions of the boring game) according to this principle, all stars seasons are held in reality competitions with past participants)
@George_Lightwood: and why would they eliminate gg, I'm sure they could have killed him a hundred times. But dragging them to the game and pleasing the sponsors is the best thing.
It's too long. When they showed Ki Hung's weapons depot and a squad of trained fighters, my eyes rolled so deeply that they had to make more than one turn before returning to the place. We know, we swam. Street bums would be more useful. I also thought they'd messed up and were chasing the wrong limo. Fortunately, it worked out. And the second dude even managed to choose the most uncomfortable mask for the club. I have only two options: either he is a hired Cossack in order to sabotage Ki-hoon's actions, or he is just a fool.
The twist with the girl really surprised me. Apparently, this season they decided to finally humanize the staff. I remember there were similar attempts before, but I didn't like it then. Let's see how they steer here. And in fact, it is symbolic that the animator goes not as a player, but as a staff in a mask. She wouldn't be the first to completely hide her face.
Ki hoon's plan is 10 out of 10. Go back to the games to what? I like the actor's acting, but the character himself suffered from bullshit and continues to suffer. But again, let's see what happens at the games themselves.
@Allons_y: DO YOU roll your eyes WHEN you watch FAST AND FURIOUS 15? Oh my God, A CAR CAN'T FLY IN SPACE!!!! KAL!!!!!! Do the Avengers roll their eyes when you watch? OH MY GOD, THE WEB CAN'T FLY OUT OF MY HAND!!! SPIDER-MAN COULDN'T JUMP LIKE THAT IN PHYSICS!!! OH MY GOD, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE THROUGH TIME LIKE THAT!!!! The characters in the movie are dumb - the movie cal)))))
@Finn_The_Human: I roll my eyes when a character in the story starts imagining trained mercenaries with serious weapons. Because in 9 cases out of 10, these same mercenaries will turn out to be absolutely useless. The best thing they can do is to Roskomnadzor themselves and not interfere with others. Well, actually that's the way it is here. There's no use for dudes.
@Finn_The_Human: Well, the moment of the performance made me smile. Because they are represented in a dash, but no one gets into the symbols, even a very experienced commander)
Did I understand correctly that couriers recruit both players and guards? It would make sense, then the guards would be just as bound by their actions.
In Korea, it's not easy to get a gunshot, but gg has a whole arsenal there and he shows it to the cop.
As expected, they were treated like children. They forgot who they were competing with.
@driveshaft: I didn't understand anything about firearms)) you can't get a gun in Japan either in real life))) It's a movie, brother))) It is filmed for entertainment and to evoke emotions and thoughts in the viewer))))
In the Movies, reality is for them (for the characters) - that's it))) as we were shown))) and there are Firearms and there is a Squid game))))
@Finn_The_Human: What does even that have to do with it? A shooting gallery in the middle of the city - yes, this is purely a movie (although it was shown that a cop heard one shot from a revolver sitting in a car on the street). And about getting a gun, gg is fucking rich. With the kind of money he has, it's not so impossible to get a gun.
@driveshaft: Yes, I'm sorry))) but I really don't understand anything)))) It's like we're having a conversation in different parallel planes.
Could you write me the meaning of this statement of yours: "Did I understand correctly that couriers recruit both players and guards? It would make sense, then the guards would be just as bound by their actions.
In Korea, it's not easy to get a gunshot, but gg has a whole arsenal there and he shows it to the cop.
As expected, they were treated like children. They forgot who they were competing with." - I really sincerely don't get the point)))))
I survived. Began to recognize Korean actors) an artist from the park played a bandit in a soap House. And Noelle was also playing a fireball game there.)))
Initially, I thought that the policeman would try to become a player. Well, or he'll become an employee again. So now he's going to hunt them down? The tracker is too easy. I think they can lead him into a trap in this way.
@_berkeya: Is the tooth idea brilliant? Yes, with that kind of money, you could not only insert a tracker into your tooth, but also sew an earphone and microphone into your ear, and embed a camera in your eye.
I thought that all three of them would be included in the game.
Damn, it's stupid, of course, for beginners to turn against such an office, which can organize a game of squid without palev. He has a comfortable house. Money, weapons, and a shooting gallery at once) And there's still a lot of money left, even though he's been spending a lot in three years.
Chet thought that gg was somehow moronically disposing of the money he won: he didn't really help anyone, stupidly stored them in one of the rooms... For 2 years, he paid mercenaries for clumsily running around the subway in search of a recruiter, and only a little money was spent... While stupidly risking his life, although with such a background and a higher goal, he could have been more careful...
Although what I expected from him, even if a person gets a lot of money, he won't get smarter from it... He was just as fucked up as he was. Well, maybe he got a little more serious, but not smarter... did he really think he could stop the game by talking? And that he can stop a whole well-coordinated team that has been in business for 30 years with a bunch of mercenaries
My career growth sucks, from a bunny animator to a triangle guard. Although it was clear from the precision of her movements that this was not the first time, it was not for nothing that Ki-hoon seemed to her friends on the stairs that she had already paused
@Stavropol: it seems to me that to some extent he definitely did better than he could, another person could probably start spending them even more thoughtlessly (drugs, alcohol, women of easy virtue and thoughtless unnecessary purchases)
The Korean cranberries have arrived, you might think that there are no orphanages in the DPRK, and the children of traitors are burned there immediately. 🤣 An interesting ending, it's strange that the triangle is right away, it's normal for an animator
It's a very boring episode, but the twist at the end with this girl really surprised me. I hope we will continue to watch the games, it's time. Two episodes to prepare is too much.
Explain it to someone who understands... Why is the cop lying that he didn't see the face of the masked man who shot him, and who was that guy, really his brother? Or not? Or was it just someone he knew? I still don't understand the moment with this girl, how did she end up among the workers in pink suits?
@MeMori: Haven't you watched the first season? The supervisor is the brother of a cop who disappeared a long time ago (actually got involved in the game and won, and then became the supervisor). Noelle (or 011) is a former military woman who is good with guns. For her, being a triangle for money is a job. She has no social connections, all she cares about is her daughter, whom she left behind in North Korea when she escaped from there. And finding a daughter through a broker is expensive. You can't earn that much as an animator.
@deadtobefree: Of course I watched the first season. I just didn't understand who this guy in the mask was, a cop. It was obvious that the cop recognized him and was surprised, but there was no more information. If it's his brother, then why is he lying that he didn't see the face and that he can't find his brother?
Most likely , the father of the sick girl will be in the game , as he needs money for treatment and quickly ... and the Bunny will regret / help at some point .
I was surprised that the animator went to the games for the sake of someone else's child, whom I saw a couple of times and found out that the girl was sick. Then I noticed the business card: it's not the same as the ones given to the players. Then she arrives at the parking lot, gets into a van (of which there are only three), and I realize that this is too little for the players. There are 456 of them! How many such vans are needed? Well, the ending was amazing. The game has begun!
@Hidji: yes, I already understood my fakap later, it's just that when they gave her the business card, there was a circle drawn there, but I didn't see that a triangle, a square and a circle were also inscribed in this circle. So I thought that each employee was given a specific card and there were three buses, I thought each figure had its own bus. In general, I swam a little in my theory. 😄
The twist is that she became not a participant but a supervisor, but it's not clear why her story about the child and that girl from the hospital is just stretching the timing.
@S0N0FMAN: to show motivation to go to the games? She lost a child, and then another child appears, whom she can save by paying for a transplant or a new drug. The staff of the games also doesn't kill people for free.
Interestingly, the girl became a triangle. Because when she called, did they ask her about the game? Or do they just look at them, take them away, and then when they call and call their name, do they understand if it's a player or a supervisor? In short, an interesting point.
@Natalina_kr: I think that they are all viewed from the beginning, they study the past and decide who they will be offered to be. She doesn't owe money, she works, she knows how to handle guns, she's more suitable for an employee, and they immediately gave her a business card in the parking lot that wasn't the same as the players
And I like the measured narrative in some ways. They introduce you to a new story, introduce you to the characters. They don't immediately throw it into the mess! Moreover, there is a lot of movement, just not immediately a meat grinder.
can't understand, didn't Song Ki-hoon assume that they wouldn't be outplayed? As if it was super expected... Actually, it's interesting, I'm glad that they remembered about Se Bek.
It's a little boring in places, but it seems to me that it's about expectations and reality. Finally, the Game!
Moreover, this year there are only 7 episodes in the second season, not 9 as in the first season.
And 2 out of 7 is the introduction
I'm shocked they were filmed, and not only were there even fewer episodes, but they also pulled 2 episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if season 3 was also 7 episodes or less.
The last shots of the departing trucks are a direct punch in the gut and the realization of how desperate you need to be in life to take part in such "entertainment". It seems that the second season will be more dramatic and with a greater emphasis on psychology than the first.
If in the first season he was a smiling man who just goes with the flow, now his character has become much deeper..
It feels like he's not just acting anymore, but doing it with desperate determination, as if he has no other choice.
Really powerful character development.
Considering that in order to pick him up, they immediately covered their entire plan, and it means that they clearly know more than they initially seem
Although maybe he just understood that he wouldn't stop the game anyway.
And anyway, give me the games as soon as possible, since 456 is invited again.
Unexpectedly at the end.
They decided to show the video, so to speak, to open the veil from where these hooded people are being pulled
Or maybe they even promise to help her find a child to make her work. All in all, an interesting twist
And the photo was shown in a uniform.
These are the trained people who are hired.
The psyche must be stable, and the ability to follow orders.
I didn't really pay much attention to this, but after your comment, I've now thought about it.
Had she been at his game before this moment
I thought there were proven people working in these masks, their people whom they pay a lot
And they know them personally
And then it turns out that they are being attacked from the street too
Also interesting
Either the speed is predisposed to something, or they see that a person is not exactly a homeless person, so to speak, but he needs money for long-term goals and therefore he is chosen by the staff
Although after their words, the one in the mask of the main one and the one who distributes the cards that they are not people but garbage, etc. somehow I can not believe that they could out of the goodness of their hearts choose people from the street and help them and listen to their staff and pay them a lot of money for it
I don't quite understand how they define the players and those who will be the staff. Here is one of the riddles that is not yet clear. I thought they were initially determined by playing Tag, but now it is not clear at all.
And the girl from the park?! I thought she was going to be a gambler.. I'm curious how it's distributed in general.
No, they're too cool for that. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail.
I wouldn't be surprised if Song Ki-hoon has another chip sewn in, who knows which part of his body 🤣
I took two episodes today, I plan the rest for tomorrow and maybe the final the day after tomorrow, depending on how I manage. And tomorrow there's a new episode of the Agency, uh...)
The end of last episode is powerful, but it's just fine here, I didn't watch the trailer, so I was surprised that this girl has a different role (also a triangle), it will be interesting to look at the events through her eyes.
P.S. It turns out that the fool in the pig costume specifically bypassed this girl ((
I also had a thought, suddenly the girl felt sick because of this, because she was waiting for a bunny so much.
This kind of plot is interesting. It's a little thing that you might not notice, but it reveals a lot about the character. Indeed, even in a different suit, he still avoided her.
Otherwise, it's a bit boring, even predictable.
Unexpectedly, the girl is one of those who wear suits.
I've always wondered who works in them...
, but damn, in the very first season, a policeman managed to get to the island unnoticed
, if plan 456 rolls, it won't be interesting, so most likely everything will go to hell and
they will find an earphone in their ear. and most likely they will check for any other pieces.
There's an interesting line about the bunny, which means they'll show us in more detail what's going on on the other side, not just dismemberment and rich clients.
And in general, I really like that this season they are digging deeper.
It seems to me that the course of events with this girl will be the most unpredictable..
How she was able to join the ranks of the triangles in the first place is very interesting..
After all, the recruiter’s role is quite complex as well.
Of course, I was most afraid that the scriptwriters would follow the well-trodden path and bring GG back into the game. But apparently they didn't have enough for more.
The chip will most likely either be found or there are jammers on the island. Otherwise, everything will end with the storming of the island, and then you can safely skip the series.
As for the girl, I think she will eventually go to her daughter, and before that she will want to help, I think she will also say one last thing to help that girl. I wish I could be wrong)
Now they will also reveal how they become not only players, but also those who lead this game.
It's a good thing that we continued the plot, because at first one season was planned.
And it's clear that it's not a passing season, but rather a deeper one!
I also thought how Ki Hong has changed! It's like 2 different actors are playing - super!
Ki Hong, of course, has grown as a person. In the first season, he annoyed me terribly, here he is already a serious person, focused on his goal. It's sad, though, that he had to go through a similar school of life to do this.
Two episodes is a bit much for the introduction. It feels like the first episode was shot purely to show the character of Kong Yu (the recruiter) in all its glory, but I already want bread and circuses, and the first two episodes could be put into one. Oh well.
I look at actor Lee Jin-wook (an artist from the park and the father of a sick girl) and immediately catch flashbacks of Sweet Home.
P.S. I hired the best specialists: from China and North Korea. Great!)
I don't particularly like the fact that, supposedly, because of the popularity of Sae Baek, it was decided to create a +-like character in the person of a fugitive from North Korea who is trying to regain her family, but the end was pleased with the twist that we will be shown the side of the squid.
It was funny to see the villain from sweet home, which I just watched😅 and the girl is also familiar to me from some drama, the devil's judge, or something 🤔 in general, it's nice to see familiar faces 🙂
Well, or it's some kind of plot magic: unreal luck that he was so lucky to be accidentally seen in waters with a strong current by one person who doesn't even have a team of assistants (who could have noticed the body in the water).
He also replied so evasively, "Oh, I can't say exactly the place, there's a strong current there, you probably got carried away.";
I wonder what GG is trying to achieve by joining the ranks of the players again, but one thing is for sure — he is unlikely to lose, so you don't have to worry about his life yet.
It is clear that Gi Hong will act inside the game, and his assistants outside, something pretty cool is planned.
The girl from the park decided to earn money for the girl's treatment? And who is this girl? Nothing is clear and we need flashbacks.
One thing I didn't understand and didn't accept in this episode was that they invited the doctor to remove the tooth and insert it with a beacon. If he's capable of it, then he's a doctor. Why did he take the instruments but not bring an ampoule of painkillers? They paid him handsomely. Unnecessary suffering for the sake of additional tin is completely unjustified here. They don't remove a tooth on a desert island, but in a city where pharmacies are on every corner.
No, it's not, it's a crazy reason. But I can't think of another one.
Although, maybe it's not even a doctor. After all, he gave out the tooth, like, with an ordinary clip. Maybe he's just an expert on these chips.
He should have hired a strategist, the same Professor from House of Cards or the dude from Escape :D
In short, apparently we won't see any graceful confrontation here, Song Ki-hoon will just play games again.
🙃🙃
An unexpected end, I thought the girl would become a gambler to win the amount for the sake of the baby, But here she will be a service staff
That's why I love Korean cinema in general, it's the way they approach storytelling and story in general - practically any movie (series) of any genre turns into a thriller.
In general, the first two episodes were a thrill to watch.)
Return to the games to create problems ✅️✅️✅️✅️
" I love these plot assumptions where the antagonists play along with the characters as much as possible.
I hope the games won't disappoint
When they showed Ki Hung's weapons depot and a squad of trained fighters, my eyes rolled so deeply that they had to make more than one turn before returning to the place. We know, we swam. Street bums would be more useful. I also thought they'd messed up and were chasing the wrong limo. Fortunately, it worked out.
And the second dude even managed to choose the most uncomfortable mask for the club. I have only two options: either he is a hired Cossack in order to sabotage Ki-hoon's actions, or he is just a fool.
The twist with the girl really surprised me. Apparently, this season they decided to finally humanize the staff. I remember there were similar attempts before, but I didn't like it then. Let's see how they steer here.
And in fact, it is symbolic that the animator goes not as a player, but as a staff in a mask. She wouldn't be the first to completely hide her face.
Ki hoon's plan is 10 out of 10. Go back to the games to what? I like the actor's acting, but the character himself suffered from bullshit and continues to suffer. But again, let's see what happens at the games themselves.
Do the Avengers roll their eyes when you watch? OH MY GOD, THE WEB CAN'T FLY OUT OF MY HAND!!! SPIDER-MAN COULDN'T JUMP LIKE THAT IN PHYSICS!!! OH MY GOD, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE THROUGH TIME LIKE THAT!!!! The characters in the movie are dumb - the movie cal)))))
Well, actually that's the way it is here. There's no use for dudes.
In Korea, it's not easy to get a gunshot, but gg has a whole arsenal there and he shows it to the cop.
As expected, they were treated like children. They forgot who they were competing with.
In the Movies, reality is for them (for the characters) - that's it))) as we were shown))) and there are Firearms and there is a Squid game))))
And about getting a gun, gg is fucking rich. With the kind of money he has, it's not so impossible to get a gun.
https://dzen.ru/a/Ybp3nHw3vkRRGX1Y
Could you write me the meaning of this statement of yours: "Did I understand correctly that couriers recruit both players and guards? It would make sense, then the guards would be just as bound by their actions.
In Korea, it's not easy to get a gunshot, but gg has a whole arsenal there and he shows it to the cop.
As expected, they were treated like children. They forgot who they were competing with." - I really sincerely don't get the point)))))
by dawn and sunset
Is there any message here? 🤔
But I repeat, it was quite interesting to watch)))
Initially, I thought that the policeman would try to become a player. Well, or he'll become an employee again. So now he's going to hunt them down? The tracker is too easy. I think they can lead him into a trap in this way.
Damn, it's stupid, of course, for beginners to turn against such an office, which can organize a game of squid without palev.
He has a comfortable house. Money, weapons, and a shooting gallery at once) And there's still a lot of money left, even though he's been spending a lot in three years.
While stupidly risking his life, although with such a background and a higher goal, he could have been more careful...
Although what I expected from him, even if a person gets a lot of money, he won't get smarter from it... He was just as fucked up as he was. Well, maybe he got a little more serious, but not smarter...
did he really think he could stop the game by talking? And that he can stop a whole well-coordinated team that has been in business for 30 years with a bunch of mercenaries
My career growth sucks, from a bunny animator to a triangle guard. Although it was clear from the precision of her movements that this was not the first time, it was not for nothing that Ki-hoon seemed to her friends on the stairs that she had already paused
An interesting ending, it's strange that the triangle is right away, it's normal for an animator
I still don't understand the moment with this girl, how did she end up among the workers in pink suits?
Noelle (or 011) is a former military woman who is good with guns. For her, being a triangle for money is a job. She has no social connections, all she cares about is her daughter, whom she left behind in North Korea when she escaped from there. And finding a daughter through a broker is expensive. You can't earn that much as an animator.
If it's his brother, then why is he lying that he didn't see the face and that he can't find his brother?
girl is most likely recruited in a circle, she knows how to kill
In general, I swam a little in my theory. 😄
She doesn't owe money, she works, she knows how to handle guns, she's more suitable for an employee, and they immediately gave her a business card in the parking lot that wasn't the same as the players
Moreover, there is a lot of movement, just not immediately a meat grinder.
