Yes, I think that math teacher is the only guy who deserved to win. He's so smart and strong enough to survive. But he wasn't very lucky like Gi-hun. Without his old friend and warm-hearted Ali, Gi-hun couldn't even make it the first round. But Ironically, his indecisiveness saved him this round, when he could''t even remember which tile of glass he'd go.
Correct, but it's an inconsistency. The frame shows both sides blowing up across the bridge, but half of the glass was already broken due to the game. Did anyone else catch that? Lol
@@AnimeNinjaz just rewatched again myself... don't have any way to slow it down, but it still looks like both sides to me. Especially the last one. There's a pause, then an explosion on both sides. Not saying you are wrong, just that it looks that way to me. =)
When asking questions like "Why not walk on the beam" or "why not remove your jacket and use the zipper to make a sound" I believe James Cameron gave the best explanation. People would constantly question why both Jack and Rose didn't get on the floating door because it seemed big enough and he explained (to the best of my memory), "Because that's not what was in the script, the script said Jack dies, if anything was going to change it's not that Jack would live, it's that the door would be smaller."
Yeah...and the guards would probably shoot anyone who tried to circumvent the rules of crossing the glass tiles for 'contaminating the fairness of the game.' I think way too many people I've seen reacting and in the comments sections for these reaction videos don't think of that when they talk about walking on the beams to remove the risk of death and essentially cheat the game.
I also thought the writing/delivery for the VIPs was shockingly bad but assume that's because it's a Korean show so it's writing and directing in a foreign language for them. Natural, authentic sounding conversational dialog is difficult to create when it's not your first language. It could also have been the quality of western actors in Korea isn't the highest. Probably both.
This is the tip on how to survive the glass steps. When they tell you take off your shoes, you should take off your jacket and tie a knot at the bottom and stuff your shoes inside the jacket to create a makeshift club. After you done that, you use it to beat the glass to determine which one is safe and which is dangerous.
Given the distance between panes and how light the shoes/jacket are, it would be almost physically impossible to break the un-tempered glass with that method.
honestly of all things Sangwoo did, I was fine with him pushing the glass manufacture guy. they were out of time. also when he was yelling at the husband who had to kill his wife, I think he was projecting, feeling some amount of guilt for tricking Ali
Yeah it's brutal, but it most likely came down to one of them or all four of them. I wasn't hearing anyone else volunteering to go first either. It's easy to throw stones at Sang-Woo as long as we are just watching from our comfy chair.
If I was playing the game myself I would have also waited until exactly the 20 second mark, and that's what he did too. If you wait for that guy any longer everyone else would die.
@@rinmathews9337 Exactly, plus he save those two as well by pushing the old guy. It's a shame but there's no other options sadly. It's a matter of life and death. I would've done the same and so would you.

Remember this was written by a man from the east & this was his portrayal of western men. I can only imagine how horrible some of our Hollywood Korean acting/writing is in our movies from them too watch.

@@thesincereone2886 The writing was definitely worse for the VIPS, we know that Doek-su is a piece of shit but the writing for him is stellar. The actors they chose to play the VIPs were awful and maybe the flawless performance of all the South Korean actors and actresses is one of the reason why the VIPs come across as awful actors.
@@linusfotograf Being over the top kinda seems like that was the point because even outside of delivery they were still given those lines and direction
The VIPs are meant to be dumb and uncharismatic. It's such a weird trope in media that the rich villians are "cold and calculated", but that's unrealistic. Rich bad people in real life inherit what they have and know nothing about anything. The show writers were really good actually.
I’m surprised none of them took the shoes and tied it to a jacket to test the glass by swinging the coats with the shoes attached. Even if the glass just fractured, you would know which ones to avoid.
Not a bad idea, but ultimately I think slippers tied to jackets wouldn't be hard enough nor generate enough force to crack glass that thick. Maybe if they still had those bags of marbles...
@@ominousbiscuit It may not work, but it is worth a shot. I also thought about throwing the shoes, but I didn’t think someone could generate enough force to crack the glass that way.
I saw one of the VIPs on an interview and he said that they were directed to act as badly as they did because it's a take on how Korean people view Americans. Several of the VIPs got offended by people calling them out on their acting
I think the VIP's bad writing is due to translation. Yes, they are the CRINGIEST thing in this series. But if you watch other films or shows around the world where the primary language is not english, it's going to sound not too good when the writers have a scene where english dialogue is presented. For example, one of my favorite Chinese film series is IP Man. I love the Cantonese dialogue. But whenever someone who speaks english comes along it feels cringe or weird. Hope this helps!
@@RhantheSlayer yeah, I don't get how people are constantly saying the VIPs are cringe and act weird. Um, isn't that the point? They are supposed to be super weird and cringe. I personally never saw an issue with the VIPs acting, it's supposed to be weird AF.
I'm so happy the asshole villain died in this episode but the (as you put it perfectly) lady who "makes it spicy" dying made me so sad, she was so much fun!
Apparently it's common with Korean shows, if they have Caucasian roles, the actors aren't good quality at all. So I don't think any good writing could have saved the bad performances they would give.
@@keshnaidoo3891 I mean there's not much of a pool to choose from. Unless you're dealing with a pretty huge budget, you're not going to be casting from overseas. You're going to have to generally choose from expats, and most of them don't even think of pursuing acting over there unless they also fluently know Korean as well.
11:46 - omg you say brekkie?! i've never heard an American use that before lol i thought it was just us Aussies and Kiwis! Also, this is the silliest challenge - see some of the glass is fragile, but the beams holding the glass in place have to be capable of supporting the weight of MANY people, since the tempered glass is capable of holding the weight of two and its a time-challenge. The trick is not to walk on the glass but the four frames of metal holding the glass in place. And since there are two frames of metal about 6-12 inches apart from one another right in the center of the course all it takes is balance, no guess work or death risk unless you slip.
What would be the point? She's already watched them, so she knows what's going to happen, and I don't think her pretending to reenact her initial reactions would be very fun to watch.
This and MIDNIGHT 🕛 MASS are two of the best things I’ve seen in 2021. Just when I thought the horror genre is dead, MM came through with a Vengeance. And Squid 🦑 Game has some of the best writing since PARASITE 🦠. No one else can tell stories about Capitalism better than South Koreans!!! And just like PARASITE, Squid 🦑 Game is ANGRY AF #%€£!!!!!! And it also has Parasite’s incredibly talented composer, Jung Jae-il!!!
Totally agree about the writing for the VIPs. My guess is that it's because English is probably a second language for the writers. I'm pretty sure if I was writing lines for someone in Korean, it would probably be pretty bad.
The potatoes were baked. Raw potatoes are crisp and juicy (and edible, though they have traces of nightshade toxin that can be dangerous if you eat too many). Pretty sure the acting/dialogue for the VIPs is bad on purpose, given that they're depicted as people too rich to have any sense who see everyone else as toys :)
Which seems more likely, that a show with a generally high standard of acting/writing across dozens of roles will just happen to have 5 awful performances that go together or that a show with a generally high standard of acting/writing across dozens of roles will have a common thread of intentional bad acting/writing for a specific cluster of roles?
@@Sara_Feingold if you look into the details of how south korean directors cast their foreign actors you'd understand why their performances were so bad.
@@Sara_Feingold He's lived in korea for years and is a trained actor and fluent in south korean. To me he does not fall into the same category as the VIPs because his acting his stellar. You are not about to compare his flawless performance with that of the VIPs. Just go into other comment sections of reactions and witness for yourself that everyone agrees that their acting was utter shite.
The reason the girl survived was because in the previous episode, the old man was meant to appear most weak and most pathetic so no one would choose him for a partner and he could have an ‘out’ of the games where they could easily pass it off as they kill him. Because he wouldn’t have been able to do the glass jump. But then he did get chosen. Which is why he willingly gave up the marble. And also why his is the only death you don’t witness. Because he wasn’t supposed to die. They still could have just killed the girl and I really don’t know why they didn’t, but maybe they really do play by the rules. And the spot she took was meant for old man and old man wouldn’t have died either. Also the reason they’re treated like children is because the entire premise of the games is it’s meant to represent the old man’s childhood. You can actually even see ahead of time what each game will be if you look at the walls of the room they’re kept in. You see more exposed as more and more beds are taken away and with all the time they spend in there I can’t imagine not a single one of them realized that the art on the walls was the games they’d already played plus ones they had yet to do, but ya know.

Squid Game was written by one person and also the sole director for the entire series of season one. If there is a second season, the director has stated that he will be working with a team of directors and writers to alleviate a lot of the works from his shoulder. Due to this, I believe is what makes the English-speaking characters cringe-worthy because he did not get a thorough pare down of dialogues for the English language. If you listen to their conversations, it is just exposition for what is taking place or going to happen, really no character development for any of them, including the disrobed VIP.
I thought the same thing initially, that perhaps the creator wasn't very experienced writing English dialogue. However, looking into his background it looks like he has a good bit of experience with it, and his film degree is from USC so he's spent plenty of time around Americans.
@@drasticbread249 English is his second language, and when he writes, I think he has a better grasp of his native language than English, and he can express that better. English as a second language which is for me also, can be intimidating. The same is true with Hong Kong actor Tony Leung of Shang-Chi speaking Mandarin in interviews rather than English even though he speaks fluent English.
@@Mangolite Since I don't know Korean I couldn't speak to differences between his writing in different languages, but I would be interested in comparing to any English dialogue from his other films.
I think they shouldve kept the Cast of the VIPs korean, I kinda of think by bringing in the white people it killed the mood of the show plus the writing for them is horrible but besides that it's a phenomenal series
This mindset makes me cringe so hard lmao "Oh this thing is popular, I'm gonna avoid it." It's like those people that love indie bands and then have a hissy fit when their indie band gets popular.
Completely agree, the writing for the VIPS is so cringe, and kills the emersion from the show. I’m assuming this was tailored to Koreans who wouldn’t understand the poor delivery of shitty lines. Was my only weak stance on the entire show!
"Sangwoo is evil", if you want to get the point of the show (which is not about good vs evil as any american hollywood fantasy) please try not to think this way ;)
I have to be honest that Cho Sang Woo is the only realistic person who understands the risk of life and death in Squid Game. At first I was really pissed at him for doing those actions to get his way, though at the same time I understand because I and anyone other people would have done the same action as he did when it comes down to saving yourself. It's suck that the old guy who was examining the glass pushed off, however, he was taking up time when the lights were off and Cho Sang has no choice but to push him off to save his own skin as well as the two people behind him. It's messed up that the majority see him as a villain which is too unrealistic and very black and white mindset. I'll ask you (and others) this question, would you have done the same as Cho Sang Woo?
I respect it much more. She could have not said anything and faked the first 5 episode reactions but she was honest and wanted to give us honest reactions.
No god but Allah Islam way for peace and the real monotheism Search for the truth and right way with honest heart And ask him for the right way for his mercy.
Well, not really (apologies for this whole post if you were being sarcastic and I didn't pick up on it), but I can't take it as a serious criticism because those who are detractors tend to exaggerate it as an issue while ignoring obvious real-life factors like the creator, director, and sole writer of Squid Game not being a native English speaker and the fact the show was made for a Korean audience first and foremost. And that the VIPs are obviously intentionally written as hedonistic freaks for the show's commentary on ultra-capitalism. I can't call something bad that is the way it is on purpose. I'd argue our domestic productions (North American in my case) actually do it worse in terms of butchering direction for foreign languages that may not seem out of place to the local audience, but foreigners would be able to tear a new one. Moreso in past years before greater care has been taken in general, but still...
Everything about the VIPs are ridiculous, they should have saved the money on the silly painted ladies and the fancy couches, and put it toward better CGI. And speaking of the bad CGI, not only does the end of the game make zero sense, but it's the worst looking and worst written moment in the entire show.

I think they shouldve kept the Cast of the VIPs korean, I kinda of think by bringing in the white people it killed the mood of the show plus the writing for them is horrible but besides that it's a phenomenal series
Squid Game is the most popular show on Netflix, which is why I'm avoiding like the plague. Just here to support my girl, have a good day 👍🏼
Yeah, the show's so popular, it made the news.
So edgy.
This mindset makes me cringe so hard lmao
"Oh this thing is popular, I'm gonna avoid it."
It's like those people that love indie bands and then have a hissy fit when their indie band gets popular.
@@onelusciouslad7841 I appreciate your epic attempt...at something . I hope it works out.
i would like to recommend The Nightingale and Green Room thank you have a nice day
:)
Where are the reactions of the other episodes?
@@Luiscota1986 oh ok thanks for clearing that up
Completely agree, the writing for the VIPS is so cringe, and kills the emersion from the show. I’m assuming this was tailored to Koreans who wouldn’t understand the poor delivery of shitty lines. Was my only weak stance on the entire show!
The writing is good. Whats wrong? >:v
Do review to marvel now
The VIP’s sucked. I was so disappointed cause they were so hyped up.
"Sangwoo is evil", if you want to get the point of the show (which is not about good vs evil as any american hollywood fantasy) please try not to think this way ;)
I have to be honest that Cho Sang Woo is the only realistic person who understands the risk of life and death in Squid Game.
At first I was really pissed at him for doing those actions to get his way, though at the same time I understand because I and anyone other people would have done the same action as he did when it comes down to saving yourself. It's suck that the old guy who was examining the glass pushed off, however, he was taking up time when the lights were off and Cho Sang has no choice but to push him off to save his own skin as well as the two people behind him. It's messed up that the majority see him as a villain which is too unrealistic and very black and white mindset.
I'll ask you (and others) this question, would you have done the same as Cho Sang Woo?
Nice
Please
Not first. But always commenting.
I can’t find your reactions to episode 1-5. 🤷🏼
@@Luiscota1986 I see. Such a shame for us
I respect it much more. She could have not said anything and faked the first 5 episode reactions but she was honest and wanted to give us honest reactions.
Yesss!!!
Hi
yea the vips were overly cringe an shoulda been way better actors, they could did a better job makin them look like rich freaks 100%
No god but Allah
Islam way for peace and the real monotheism
Search for the truth and right way with honest heart And ask him for the right way for his mercy.
What are you on about?
Yes, you are the only one who doesn't like the VIP writing/dialogue.
Well, not really (apologies for this whole post if you were being sarcastic and I didn't pick up on it), but I can't take it as a serious criticism because those who are detractors tend to exaggerate it as an issue while ignoring obvious real-life factors like the creator, director, and sole writer of Squid Game not being a native English speaker and the fact the show was made for a Korean audience first and foremost. And that the VIPs are obviously intentionally written as hedonistic freaks for the show's commentary on ultra-capitalism. I can't call something bad that is the way it is on purpose.
I'd argue our domestic productions (North American in my case) actually do it worse in terms of butchering direction for foreign languages that may not seem out of place to the local audience, but foreigners would be able to tear a new one. Moreso in past years before greater care has been taken in general, but still...
Everything about the VIPs are ridiculous, they should have saved the money on the silly painted ladies and the fancy couches, and put it toward better CGI. And speaking of the bad CGI, not only does the end of the game make zero sense, but it's the worst looking and worst written moment in the entire show.
drastic
Sounds like you just didn’t get it pal cause everyone else doesn’t take issue with the effects or the ending of the game
@@lanagievski1540 How are you so tapped into what everybody else is thinking?
@@drasticbread249 Because you're the outlier , the odd one out
@@lanagievski1540 I can't be the only one who thought it was a lame way to kill off the best character in the show. Have you considered that perhaps you're just a narcissist?
