Man, I love this show. It's one of those things I wish I could forget so I could watch it for the first time again. Plot is so tight. And the makers really know how to pull on those emotional cues with the story beats, visuals, and music. I'm glad you guys watched this masterpiece. :D
"SQUID GAMES" remains the most watched Netflix series. With no promo, it took the world by storm simply by word of mouth. Train to Busan is a K-Movie. K-Drama we use on series, like this one. So this is your first K-Drama! Congratulations 🙂. The lead male won Best Actor at the Golden Globes!!! Also on other award platforms. All the key actors and actresses in this series has won something, including the old man.
Man, that last vote from #001. Nail biting. YOLO is a Great name for old #001. I cant wait to see y'all's reaction through the rest of the series as the characters have more interactions. This is such a brilliant show!
a fun not so trendy kdrama is Mr. queen. Its a historical drama but thats all ill say because i want you guys to go into it knowing nothing if you end up watching it. its very funny and will have you wanting more in my opinion. I loved your reaction to this episode!! i hope you do more kdrama in the future!
My fav fun fact ab the filming ep 1 is when my guy ran into the girl that pick pocketed him, the actor improvized the part when he was trying to put the straw and the actress was bent over laughing in that scene 😂 and they kept it in bc it was just too good
~Rosie! I love these two! Ahhhh i was excited to see this from the moment you made the comment about starting it! I mentioned that on the discord too haha. I'm glad you're watching it in the original language too as the dubs don't give justice to the individual performances. I knew you both would love this and I'm sure (being ahead) you guys will enjoy the rest as well! There are many lessons about gambling, trust, greed, depression etc in the show and it truly was an entertaining ride. There is one episode in particular I'm waiting for that i expect your reactions and faces (I'm looking at you, Tony!) to be even more ":O!" Which character are your favorites so far ;)? Anyways, prepare for even more thrills, surprises, tears and as always, if you have ANY questions or need anything clarified feel free to ask me here or on your discord! Cheers!!
Thanks for this. I'd seen Squid Game so many times, but am re-watching with you. Don't forget, Squid Game 2 begins Dec. 26 on Netflix -- everyone's Christmas Gift! 💜
thank you very much for your reaction. I am from Russia and do not know English well, I have reviewed most of your reviews through Yandex browser with voice translation function into any language, I am glad to see your reactions
Yassss so excited for this!! You guys are in for an amazing ride! Pls if you continue to do kdramas consider "All of us are dead" "The Glory" and "Mask Girl" ❤❤
I decided to 1st time watch this with you guys, and I have to say, with the help of the pause sometimes (to catch up on a few subtitles that show too fast) I pretty much get the gist of things and yep going to watch it fresh this way with you guys. Shout out to your editor btw! So far yeah, living up to all the hype I remember! Thanks guys!
Keep in mind it isn't desperate or vulnerable people. Someone like Gi-hun's mom would never agree to play. It's gamblers and risk takers. That's why the screening method is a game of chance.
Yay! Glad you are watching this in the original Korean. Bit of advice though with the English subtitles, select English, not English CC as the CC is less accurate.
Exceptional reaction. Oh, it gets better. Just in time for season 2 on December 26th. I take my iPhone into the bathroom while I shower too; not weird. Looking forward to more of your reactions.
Hello Octobers, from a year long subscriber/fan in Seattle...so happy to see y'all starting this show, it's consistently trippy & intriguing! Segue: wondering if you'd seen or even reacted to the film "A Clockwork Orange" (Stanley Kubrick directed, came out in late '60s I think)...you'll immediately see how S.G. was influenced (visually & musically in particular) by the movie. ❤!
You two are so fun!! The conversion rate isn't great now, but an easy way to think of korean won (currency) is 1000 won = 1 USD. So 100,000 won = 100 dollars. In theory, now it's a lot less, but it's easy to think of it this way while reading subtitles quickly :)
I love that I've seen this show some times now and I still missed the part when the square said in ep2 as they brought out guns that they wouldn't let the contesters do anything to challenge the democratic process of them voting. They might have messed up games but they DO have rules and abey to them.
Oooooo, a fun one. Came to do some catchin' up. Got some down time from hospital stuff, busy all day, creepy at night watchin' horror all month, lol. "That's not fair, That's not fair"...Im rollin'. The lower the bow in depth the more respect u give. Get ready, the ride has just begun. I love "Alice in Borderland" its a great KDrama similar to this. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
Damn, first Stranger Things and now Squid Games! Two shows with unique concepts and incredible writing. I highly recommend Ted Lasso next, another show with great writing!
Ha ha…for red light green light, the spotter would turn away and say red light green light 1, 2, 3 (which you could say at any speed you like), and turn around on 3. Anyone caught moving after that was out. Many would say “red light green light” kind of slow, and 123 really fast.
After falling in love w ur stranger things and GOTs rxns was secretly hoping you’d do a kdrama cuz I think you’d really love them if you got past reading subs lol. U guys love good storytelling and complex characters w great development so you’d def appreciate kdramas. I’m so thrilled you decided to do squid games! Hope you do others eventually as well. Love ur rxns
I played Red Light Green light, Simon Says and Red Rover when I was a kid. But, I am old as dirt and we didn't have video games, the internet or cells phones back then. lol As always, great reaction.
Oh I kept meaning to watch this show and I kept forgetting about it 😂 . Can't really watch your reactions cuz I still haven't gotten around to seeing the show myself.
My husband and I JUST binge watched this show this weekend. We did watch the English dubbed version, and while the words were fine, the vocals didn’t always match the emotions accurately, and they had a young woman’s voice for the mother. We had no idea.what to expect. Can’t wait to see your reaction!
I love this reaction! Though I do wonder...did you just call "Fly me to the Moon" italian music? I was confused by that because I am watching the RUclips cut. You may have been referring to something else.
This is certainly an interesting series that grabs you right away, but it got a bit slower (or maybe I was desensitized to everything) for me as it went on, and I just remember overall being interested in the show, but not enough to recommend it to others. if you're going for some more Halloween-type content I cannot recommend The Exorcist enough (the version released in 2000 with 12 extra important minutes that were cut from the original version, the book author/screenwriter for The Exorcist sued over it and it took 25 years for the real version to be released). I was pretty young when I watched it, so part of it may be nostalgia, but even on re-watches I don't believe I've seen a better/scarier movie than that. I'd definitely have to join your Patreon if you added this to your collection. Not that I don't already want to be a Patron, money has just been quite scarce these days so I've been trying to save as much as possible, and if I joined all the Patreon channels I'd like to I'd be paying at least $200/month which isn't quite in the scope of my budget unfortunately. Anyway, The Exorcist has got to be the best Halloween-time movie I can think of.
I literally had a theory that Squid Games is in the Saw universe were the game master fellowed up on the Jigsaw murders in America and made there own version of games

Thank you for watching this in Korean. Watching it in English totally takes you out of it. Strap in, y'all. You're in for it. 😅
W take
Completely agree! It also makes people miss some of the great acting that comes from hearing the original performance
100000%
agreed.. the translations get destroyed in english. the subtitles arent great either but its better than the audio.
Agreed, the dub is horrible, in korean, the emotion feels so raw and real in comparison. subtitles over dub

I was late to the party with this show but am glad I watched it. Now I see why it was so popular!
we were so late to this party but loving it
S2 comes out december 26th!
They're not late, they're right on time! Cuz s2 is almost around the corner so this way they are all caught up!
Every episode gets progressively crazier. Have fun :D
Righttt😭
Thanks, Brooke! Thanks, Tony! 🦑 I think y'all are gonna love this series. I certainly did.
Lee Jung-jae's in this series is some of the best I've ever seen. Dude deserved his Emmy 100%
Mr. October - "We might have a new favourite thing going on right now"
You bet!
I'm shocked y'all never played "red light, green light". It's played the exact same way in America as it is played in the show... minus the guns 🤣
And in Finland 😊
Man, that last vote from #001.
Nail biting.
YOLO is a Great name for old #001.
I cant wait to see y'all's reaction through the rest of the series as the characters have more interactions. This is such a brilliant show!

Alice in Borderland season 1 is unmatched. Season 2 is wack.
It took me awhile to watch this series, but once I started I binged the hell out of it 👍
U guys will love this show❤

YES! 🎉🎉🎉 such a good show!
Keep in mind it isn't desperate or vulnerable people. Someone like Gi-hun's mom would never agree to play. It's gamblers and risk takers. That's why the screening method is a game of chance.
yeahh that's why he can convince the people he slaps? bc they are risk takers?
They will risk taking punishment.
What about 199?? I don’t remember Ali being a gambler
@JH-jw7pu Risk taker he said. Gamblers & Risk takers. 🤨
Lets Go!!!! Alice In Borderland should definitely be your next asian drama to watch. Its japanese and takes the ⚰ game genre even further.
I LOVE YALL SO MUCH SO SO MUCH SQUID GAMES IS REALLY AMAZING ITS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER MADE YALL WILL LOVE IT!
