Ali's death was the most heartbreaking one. He trusted his friend with his marbles and was killed completely cold heartedly by him. And he had so much more to live for, a wife and a young son. His "friend" knew it and still stole his rightful win (life)
Their first mistake was trusting a dude with that much debt at stake ALSO wanted by the police. He's as dangerous as the criminal when it comes to desperation
Tbh, when i saw Ali for the first time, the first thought popped into my head was "Aww, he's gonna die first isn't he?" He's the only foreigner in a sea of Koreans, an obvious disadvantage in cultural knowledge and alliance. His respectful mannerism, kindness and trusting nature are indeed lovable but completely useless in a death game. A strong body but weak mind, leaving him the easiest target possible.
The thing is, there's no "rightful win" in those games imo, it's only survival and all the participants agreed to come back. Those games are twisted for sure, but come on, it's obvious you shouldn't trust anyone here in the first place. I don't blame Sangwoo at all, he was realistic and knew only one of them was going to get out of there alive.
I think Ali's death was sadder than Sae-Byeok, because at least Sae-Byeok's brother is in good hands with Sangwoo's mother while Ali's family is left to wonder what happened to him and didn't get anything to compensate their loss. The consequence of his death was sadder, but both of their deaths had me crying
We literally watched sae byeok die in a slow and painful death. On top of that, Gi hun’s reaction made it even harder. The scene was perfectly executed, enough to make the audience feel their pain. Her death got to me the most, couldn’t stop crying. As tough as it was, at least Ali’s death was quick, one shot to the head and it was blurred in the background
hey, it's worth some of the things you can pick up. for me, it just reinforces the idea that panicking never helps anyone. that's a real life skill, and while it obviously doesn't work when mid-panic attack, it can help keep a clear head before you get there.
character: *dies* CS: And that was his BIGGEST mistake. What he should've realized was that dying statistically increases your chance of death to 100%. If it were me, I would simply NOT die. That way, I can increase my chances of survival.
@@Filipas-el9sp daaaamn lol SAVAGE! But, I can see what you're saying. I actually liked the guy, thought the film did right by adding a character to represent trust, loyalty, and humanity. Unfortunately that's what killed him, just goes to show, in a game of life or death with money being the influence. People will disregard everything they know and love being blinded by greed and fear.
@@laz5518 I agree, I liked him as a personality. I just had a better thought. We can't actually say Ali was completely stupid, but only that the other guy was smarter and therefore acted like he found a solution. Hats off to him for making up a perfect plan of deception during all of this tension.
A necessary appreciation comment for Ali because we don't talk about him much. He literally slayed his role which is one of the most innocent character in the history of kdrama & the actor nailed it with that depth in his expressions **claps**
yes he was my favourite character, it's terrible he died. he was so kind and saved gi hun, he also had a kid. it was the most heart coldening moment when he realises sangwoo betrayed him.
For the marbles game, they didn't state that you have to keep your marbles. Just that you have to have you opponents. So, just exchanging the marbles would let both players win.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 The rules don't forbid it. And we have multiple examples in the show that anything not explicitly forbidden is allowed, even if it gives you an advantage (hiding behind someone in the red light green light game, licking the biscuit, pushing people on the glass panels...). I don't remember anyone following the rules being killed by a guard.
@@mehmetatila675 He was so kind hearted all because sangwoo was helpful to him in the beginning and he wanted to be just as trusting and kind ): He was just pure hearted and didnt deserve that
Ali and Sae-Byeok's death was one of the heartbreaking moment I really sympathized for. Both of them were poor because a victim of fraud in foreign country... while the others came to the game mostly after being in debt caused by gambling.
Game one walk slowly but not too slow, and go fast but not too fast, so that you don’t run out of time or trip and fall, or even lose their balance and get caught by the doll
I've never watched a TV show that left me crying and shocked throughout this whole Rollercoaster of a ride like Squid games has. Highly recommend to everyone. It's a must see. Can't wait for Season 2
@@streetgamer3452 ngl, it doesn't make me as emotional as Squid did like.. At all. It takes me a lot to cry, like a lot... And this made me cry 3 times.. 3 times bro 😭🤣 I tell you what tho, I feel refreshed
Actually, during the green light game, i think the safest option is to go towards the right wall as the doll rotates her head towards the left. This means that shell be looking at the left side first, so people on the right side will be harder to be spotted moving
The fact that they actually let you go home after all that is honestly more scary than being trapped not able to i know that sounds weird but if they aren't afraid of getting exposed then that says something 😂😂😂
@@gcc2313, the contract only had three clauses. None mentioned confidentiality. The winner got an insane amount of money and the tax authorities never wondered why. And the games happen every year. The level of corruption in that universe must be as insane.
@@gcc2313 there doesn't exist any kind of a contract that is not completely void when it is against the law, signed by lying to you etc. Tl:dr just like they said in the video, the contract doesn't matter, it's just a psychological manipulation. it doesn't actually carry any legal weight and contracts do not matter at all outside of legal system.
@@ilghizconsidering there are goverments who lets crime organization get away with those crimes I think a organization like that can be done in real life
@@ilghizthe richest people from around the world were there betting on these games, the level of rich they were means that they have a lot more power than you imagine
The marbles were the most screwed up emotionally, but the glass bridge was the most screwed up fairness-wise. Given that the last 3 people were the only ones that lived, they didn’t even give the people who more wisely chose the safety of the middle jerseys an advantage. It was the only game that was virtually all luck
The scond one too, picking the umbrella was almost instant death and picking the triangle was an easy win. Same with the glass. Picking 14,15 or 16 is an easy win while 1,2,3 are almost 100% death
I just now noticed that when Number 001, the owner, begged the players to stop killing themselves during nighttime violance, it was a command for the workers to interfere, since ya know, he's the boss
Also during the second game, Sang-Woo knew what game it was, but he still told everyone to spread in the four symbols. When he calls Gi-Hun and stays silent, is when he knows Gi-Hun would certainly die because he choose the umbrella but he felt that he needed to guarantee the death of the others to increase his winrate even though he is his friend.
And he is the only one how "has shoot" without seen the corpses that moment I became very suspicious about the old man why everyone dies on camera and the old dying man just dont is show and blood dont splash every were
I don't think it was about how people are crazy about money, it was about desperation and poverty. The people there weren't like just greedy people. The second episode where they all go back to their regular lives and realize how awful poverty is, and realizing they'd be better off taking an impossible chance to escape it, shows how it's a critique of capitalism specifically, not only of human greed.
@@DiePoopableHaha insane that you think one mediocre and very fictional movie can show anything about real world. Under circumstances in the movie everyone was already dead when they got there in first place, so we cant tell that their motivation is money at all. In fact winner of the game has pretty much zero motivation from money, but for surviving.
@@filippetrovic845 Well, I disagree completely. Works of fiction do say things about the real world, and about humanity. You don't have to make like a hyper realistic plot or setting for your movie to reflect on real stuff. We absolutely can tell their motivation was money, what are you talking about? They vote to end the game after the first game and go back to their lives in poverty. Then most of them realize how awful it is and decide to go back to the game because they'd rather take the long shot even though they will most likely die. This is a pretty on the nose reflection on poverty, at the very least, and about capitalism more broadly.
Everyone is saying how the old man's death was sad, but what was really awful was Ali's death. Sang-woo did him so dirty all because he was down to 1 marble and about to lose the game.
As a former art student I absolutely LOVED the visual contrast between the game and real life. Everything in the game is filled with highly saturated color and exaggerated size to give an illusion of happiness of innocence (as if you are a child) while making you feel small and helpless. The real life scenes are gray and hopeless, despite the hopeful nature of life
I was actually in love with the set design. Especially Front Man's office based off an Art Deco aesthetic and the staircase hall which I'm pretty sure was highly inspired by MC Escher's "Relativity" ;)
100% agreed! This associated innocence also makes all those scenes terrifying with a specific flavor. I also believe that the settings (as you said, that they give that illusion of happiness and innocence) emphasize the psychological aspect of those games
sorry but I thought this highly saturated theming was highly counterproductive. the premise of the entire show is that these games could occur in real life, but the comical nature of the setting and goons make it hard to take anything seriously, not to mention the whacko soundtrack.
@@harrysu7643 I don't think the premise of the show is that the games could occur in real life, I think quite the opposite. The front man explained how everyone gets a fair chance and is equal in here whereas it's not the same outside. So they believe this place is superior than outside. They play children games and the setting seems to be more child-like so I think it's suitable.
When I saw it I thought it was a "okay, finally someone is pleading to end the massacre as we intented, now we can do it". But in hindsight it makes a lot of sense.
Sang woo didn't plan to deliberately kill Gi Hun by suggesting they take different doors. The game could have a limited number of winners per room for all he knew, and getting the whole group in one room means some of them have to die for the others to survive. He basically took the easiest route for himself and avoided a zero sum situation for the group.
I still find it hilarious that the doctor did so many things just to know the next game without realizing that all the games are literally plastered all over their sleeping room's walls.
He was one of the few players using brain power in such a pressuring situation. At least he went down honorably instead of being brutally killed by another player.
The glass bridge game actually punished the players for eliminating their competition. The more players there are, the higher chance the average player has of survival.
not necessarily true, because their was a time limit, a time limit that the 16th person only just made it to the end in time for. Meaning anybody extra that survived up to that point (assuming all events play out the same) just mean people at the end of the line who don't make it in time.
@@CrypticCobra That is possible, though I think we would also see more people from the back running up and pushing people in the front sooner if that were the case
True up to a point. As already mentioned the time limit is something to be considerate of. If nobody pushed the religious dude or the mafia dude they never would have made it.
@@CrypticCobra while it’s true there was a time limit, something to take into consideration is that the time limit was 16 minutes, and given there were 16 players playing the game, that means 1 minute for every player left going into the game. It could be entirely possible that they made this time limit so that it could have been seen as a punishment for eliminating more of their competitors. Example: Let’s say the Midnight Brawl never happened and we had 108 going into Tug of War. Let’s also assume that the same in-between deaths happened after Tug of War and two teams lost both people as in the actual show. This would leave 21 people remaining, so they could have given 21 minutes for the remaining competitors to cross the bridge rather than the 16 they were actually given.
How to beat squid game (for those who don't want to watch the full 44 mins) 1. Red light green light: stay low to the ground on the full surface area of your foot and stay away from people so you don't get sabotaged 2. Honeycomb: use your saliva to soften the cookie then carefully remove the shape 3. Nighttime violence: team up and stay in the corner so you only have 1/4 of the room to monitor and defend. take turns with your teammates to stay on guard so you can get rest 4. tug of war: lock your arms behind your thigh and lean back so you can use your entire body weight. The strongest person is at the back and they use an anchor lock. 5. 2 player marble games: partner up with your biggest enemy so you don't feel sad if they lose and play the game 'nim'. make sure you go first and remove 2 marbles then do the opposite of what your opponent does so you pick up the last marble. 6. glass stepping stones: choose numbers 10-13 for a higher chance of passing or get your shoes and tie them in your jacket and hit the glass to check if they're stable or not 7. squid game: if you win the coin toss, choose defence as it has a higher chance of winning since you don't have to run through a small gap. 8. collect your monayy CHEATS FOR 1,2,4 AND 5 1. Hide behind another player so you don't get spotted easily 2. If you sneaked in a lighter like the lady, stay somewhere you don't get caught easily and use it to heat up the needle 4. tie the rope to the bars on the side and use the bars as foot stoppers or communicate to your team before the match to try to predict what will happen so your team has back up plans. 5. if your teammate refuses to play nim or refuses to go 2nd in nim just secretly untie their shoelaces and get them to give you their marbles while they tie their laces so you can switch the pouches and give the guard their pouch. This comment is so late ;-;
I thought Sang-Woo would find a way to get other people's marbles to make him and Ali pass the round. But he a business man he doesn't care about marbles, he cares about money
@@p3ter408 They wouldn't have handed it over to him without force. Ali was the only one trusting Sang-Woo, the others were complete strangers. I could see Sae Byeok pickpocketing others but Sang-Woo wasn't like that.
In the marble game, I'm surprised that no one tried to just exchange bags with their partners. Wouldn't this mean that both meet the win condition and survive? Worth trying it at least.
it's worth trying if they don't kill you at the end. but since they do, and most of them want to survive, that's why they decided to win no matter what at least those with a will to live, but the pink guys don't help much and also they actually wanted to reduce the players half the population, so i don't think they would let it pass(i really think you need them 20)
The first game was definitely the most unfair. Imagine you catch on right away and you're prepared to stay still, but then you just get swept up in the terrified mob running for the door because you can't do anything to dodge them without being shot anyway.
That's where it helps to be big. I'm ~5'10" but not far from 300 lbs. Most of those competitors would be smaller than me, making it easier to knock them aside if they try to rush through me. Granted, I'd be done for in the glass game, but the rest I'd do well at. I jump like a house.
@@DirtyMikeandTheBoyz 5'10" is average height, not short. And sure, I'm obese, but you act like men my size are incapable of moving. Trust me Skippy, I might lose the fight, but you'll never be the same again.
What makes it even sadder is just how predictable it was. Sang-woo was holding the betrayal card since the start and the buildup was really telegraphed, Ali was just too nice and trusting in the end. Seeing it coming just made his breakdown in not wanting to kill Sang-woo more sad.
True... I was crying when seeing Ali died. Feel bad though, since he and saebyeok weren't one of the people who got debt from negative actions such as doing bet.
anyone else notice how contradictory his red light, green light suggestion is? "stay close behind someone and use them as a shield" "be as far away from everyone to avoid tripping" okay so which is it? 💀😂
Yeah, logical fallacy 😂 My opinion stay far from everyone because if you hide, the person in front would be in fear you would push him when is inconvenient so he will try to kick you hard during green light.
Pretty sure he means far away from crowds of people. No matter where you are, people are going to be around considering there are around 500 players. He means stay somewhere far from large crowds of people, and distance yourself to the walls. There will likely be people but a lot lesser and safer. Use the people there as shields.
Its so weird how the front man said they are "fair and equal" only to turn off the lights during the glass game. It was very unfair for the last 4 who almost made it through..but well..
i feel like as soon as people were allowed to build alliances it wasn't fair, like what's fair about a group of dangerous thugs being able to plot against old men and women
well the glass maker had an advantage, though his advantage helped the others, killing the lights makes it theoretically fair cuz its eliminating said advantage and he gets to play just like the rest.
omg jiyeong's death destroyed me🤧 I don't think a series has ever made me cry so hard. ali's death was sad too, the betrayal on his face, the sadness knowing his family would never know what happened to him😣 there was just something about jiyeong that got me right in the feels - I think it was her telling saebyeok "thank you for playing with me." and I don't even want to talk about when saebyeok died, I literally will cry again😭
Even ignoring the other strategies, you can maximize your chances of picking the right shape on the honeycomb game by using process of elimination on the shapes. You have a triangle, circle, star, and umbrella. Three of them are basic geometric shapes, so you can eliminate the umbrella as the odd one out there. From there, you have two shapes with straight edges and corners, and a rounded circle. The circle is the odd one out, so again, you can eliminate it. After that, you have the triangle, which is the most stable and one of the most simple geometric shapes, and a star, which has lots of concave sections and is a much more complex shape. Of those two, even not knowing the game, the triangle is a safer bet.
Lool this is so BS. You just described dumb and unnecessary complex way of choosing the simplest shape as if you knew beforehand that simpler is better.
I agree with this logic, with nothing to go on, I would also choose this path. But @filippetrovic845 is right... it's not a guarantee. Thankfully we would have been fine in this case, haha.
My sis was in tears before he even died knowing that Sang-woo was the name of a sadistic ass dude from a webcomic. She called it and said he was gonna screw Ali over when he started yelling at him. She wanted to say Ali should have argued they didn't play for the marbles and that technically Sang-woo just stole them but it was too late 😂
After watching this video, I realized that the ending shows that Gi-hun still hasn’t grown even after everything. Instead of thinking rationally and going to his daughter and family, he’s still stuck up on revenge, in the same way he was when he was playing the slapping game, and in the same way when he played the squid game. Edit: I realize after more comments that I’m slightly wrong. Let me explain a bit. He definitely did grow a bit, as he isn’t completely blinded by money in the same way he was before, and now his care for others beats his care for money. I still believe he has an issue with thinking about consequences though. For one, how much can he really do to this organization? Does he not consider the fact that trying to challenge the very organization that basically gave him everything and easily could have ended his life could lead to a very easy death. They can easily get eyes on him, even with all the money he now has (which again was given to him by the organization he is trying to take down). And without that money there really isn’t much he can do unless he gets lucky again. After everything he’s been through, he should realize that he got lucky, and I would say him trying to retaliate is just him playing another dangerous game. He’s always been compassionate and it seems like he’s more responsible with his money now, but it still seems like he’s rushing into things. I guess we will see what happens next season but I think he should’ve gone to see to his family first then tried to consider a plan and implement it. I don’t mind discussing with others though.
I think its not about revenge. Its his civic duty, which at heart hes too nice of a guy where it damages his relationships. For example, when he missed the birth of his daughter because he was helping someone at work. Hes just a nice guy, and this is even stated when the beautiful third finalist died. It goes full circle. Also with the slapping game, I feel like it shows us how bad of a gambler he was and how it costed him his family. Good intentions but never the right choices, as we he missed the remaining days with his mom :[ PS RIP ALI
Yes, but actually, no. Yes, he could've used the money to help 67's family and other dead people's families. He has this thing where he really wants to help people, as seen through the whole show on how he treats his friends and genuinely wants to save others but he also has this thing where he doesn't really help at the same time, as seen at the start of the show with his mother and at the end of the show, even wasted a year. Overall, not that good of a guy, but still has good intentions. BUT then things get a bit better after meeting the old man again. Finally cut his hair, took 67's little brother to Sang-woo's mother and even gave a ton of his money for the first time. Even vowed to stop the future games possibly helping A LOT of people. He missed the chance to help others for over a year but at least he snapped out of it so he has grown in that sense. He'll probably come back to his family after he has stopped the games. His daughter is living fine in America anyway so it's okay, they can wait, as long as he prevents the games from happening again.
@@SamuelDoesntExist Good thing, then! If he went back to his daughter, there'd be no Season 2. 💀 And the games would keep happening since no one will try to stop it so not really poor character development plus he did finally help the people he knows at the very end so...
what really stood out for me in this game is when the majority of the players chose to leave the game the 1st time, the game makers actually respected that choice and let them go free (although under watch) and that they never forced any of them to play or come back. It shows that the game makers hold the rules and beliefs to a high regard, as they follow them to a fault and those who disobey are immedietly executed. the only exeception to this is when the vips arrive and they have to make the odds more interesting.
You had the same idea, and you wrote it in a different way than me, the way you made yours made me laugh! You can feel bad for me! But just don’t delete it!
Good lord... Gi-hun wasn't spending HIS money gambling (it was his mother's) and the phone call wasn't to celebrate his win, but rather to confirm he was meeting his daughter for her birthday.
For the glass game, couldn’t the the glassmaker use his jacket? Their jackets have zippers that could’ve tested the sound of each glass. Plus, you can keep reusing it
There were all of those shoes they could have taken with them. The rules only said they had to take them off, there was nothing against taking them along.
There are loads of things they could have used. They could have also thrown the marble as hard as possible at the glass to test if it breaks or not. The only issue is it may not even break normal glass.
The first death game, the Red Light and Green Light game, the robot always looks to the left or the sunny side first, so the shaded side is safer due to more time to react and balance out.
Yes but that means most of the people will go to the shadow side, and they don't even get that much extra time that is remarkable so its still good to go to the sunny side to prevent someone killing you
Though it is unconfirmed, it is theorized that the Marbles game is completely survivable for all players involved. While the rules state that a player must obtain all ten of their partner's marbles to win, they do not specify that you have to possess all twenty marbles in play, meaning that if two players simply swapped all their marbles with their partner, they would both be winners.
In the marbles game, if your partner refuses to play they will be eliminated and not you. Rule #2 explicitly states that a player will be eliminated if they refuse to play. Therefore all Gi-Hun needed to do, was to explain to the guards that Oh-Il Nam (player 001) was refusing to play and Gi-Hun would have gone through.
@@chasm671 yes he did complain a bit to one of the guards, but I think he needed to state his case better, as in find a square head guard, or camera to the Front Man, and explain that rule #2 was being broken. The Front Man justifys the morality of the games by convincing himself that they are played fairly and under the contract that everyone signed.
Honestly, even without anyone to teach you, you’ll know the consequences on gambling. Just gaining money by doing honest work is way better, even if it’s way less than what you get by gambling, because it’s better to be safe than be sorry.
Honestly I think the fact that they were told to remove their shoes but not told to leave them behind, was a hint to them that the shoes were extremely important and they could absolutely keep them on person, just not on their feet
i really loved squid game because unlike many other death game shows squid game showed the behind the scenes of the game. like when they change all the clothes and show the camera rooms etc. it fills a lot of plot holes that other shows like squid game leave as blank or as "magic". it makes it more real feeling and that just ups the quality and creep factor in my eyes tbh. edit: also, i recently found out for the glass game the actors were actually afraid since they were a bit high off the ground while filming. which made it so much cooler because they were all actually afraid of falling.
yep 100% agree-- the fact that there maybe just as many or even MORE people involved in the production of this game, getting things done, preparing the materials, knowing people will die while they just do as they're told is so terrifying
Honestly out of all the “games” I gotta say the most terrifying one has to be the tempered glass and normal glass Edit: holy shit 5.6k likes Tysm 😭😭🗣️💕
@@reversible8740 yeah the other games is more of “ test your intellectual abilities “ that one is just “unless you’ve worked with glass then you’ll probably die
might just be me, but I immediately thought that they should just try to break the glass pane within reach and the panes definitely weren't far enough to where they couldn't lie down on the panel they were on and try to smash the panel with their hands or with some other object and if the panel didn't break, it was the tempered glass, and of course, if it did break, it was the normal glass
Ali's death was literally the saddest thing in the whole entire show. Ali trusted sang-woo and sang-woo got him killed knowing Ali had a wife and a one year old kid 🤦🏾♂️ I hate sang-woo
Na, his death wasn't as sad as Ji Yeong's, that was pure sacrifice, pure empathy and both women had shared harsh as fuck pasts and traumas with each other.
Side note: The handguns used here aren't actually pistols, they're revolvers. It's hard to see the handgun, but in some shots, you can see the cylindrical chamber behind the barrel. Side note 2: The steak knives can kinda be seen with a serrated edge at the left side, so anyone getting stabbed by this will experience *SEVERE* pain, if they even survive the initial stabbing.
15:37 I did this so much with my mom when I was a kid, just without the dying…. Just get a tiny little pan, and put in sugar and a tiny bit of baking soda
@@JonahhDD95 It was from the 1970s referring to ads on TV, but it's certainly a phrase thrown around a lot in regards to facebook and other services like that. Squid Game turning out to be signing up to be in a blood sport for rich bastards enjoyment was the most extreme example I can imagine.
On the glass panel, he should've bounced the marble on the pane he was standing on, catch it, and throw it at the next panel, if the sound matches it's tempered glass if not it's normal.
Wouldn’t his 200lbs of body weight affect the sound? You would need to compare two pieces of glass without people on them, because the empty glass would sound completely different than glass with a body on it.
I love how he says that is was “cold blooded as hell “ for the man to intentionally try to get others killed, when seconds before he talked about the benefits a human shield
ok a quote from another video: "this kid is insane. (ok im just gonna improvise from here) he should know better than to kill other players and use them to his benefit"
The slapping scene was so meaningful to the rest of the story, they were already shamed and de-humanized and humiliated by being slapped over and over again, it shows how much they are willing to humiliate themselves for some money. It was an initial test.
For the marble game, the rules only stated you needed to win your opponents 10 marbles. It never said you need to have yours by the end. What stopped them from making the game "exchange" and just exchanging your marbles so that you BOTH have your opponent's 10 marbles and both win?
That's what confused me because what Sangwoo said about them both being able to pass.. I know he was tricking Ali but it could have.. worked? Since they want 'fairness' it's only fair to play by the rules and since exchanging each other's marbles isn't against the rules then they should have both been able to pass. Unless I'm missing something. I guess Sangwoo just didn't want to take that chance.
@@lovebite4486 I think the concept was you required to hand 20 marbles in once one person hands it in from the pair the other loses. However what interested me was how our main character manages to get out with 1 of his 20 indicating they didn't count. Maybe they could hand in a bag of stones and not get caught....
@@AH17293 Wait, wasn't there workers watching each team play? They were there to make sure they didn't cheat, correct? So if they were to replace the marbles with pebbles, the worker that was watching over them clearly would have noticed..and had not accepted the bag. Because there's only supposed to be one winner.
Game Makers: this game assures fairness and equality. Glass maker : figure out a way to actually win with skill, the game makers remove his advantage and then on top of that gets YEETED by another player.
That's political/economic commentary. The poor find a way to advance themselves rapidly, the rich, who control "the game" take away their advantage to keep them destitute and at their service.
Hot take: Sangwoo didn’t sacrifice himself. He simply didn’t want to call a vote because he’s rather be dead than go home with nothing. Even if the vote was even he still would lose everything.
He did sacrifice himself, "rather be dead than go home with nothing" is too emotional for the likes of him. Throughout the game his only agenda was to do what's logical, be altruistic or self-serving depending on which gives him the better chance at achieving his objective (pay the debt on him and his mother, remember he's sunk all of his mother's savings and properties into bonds as well). In the final moment, the goal is now unattainable in full, he could either walk out alive and lose the objective entirely, or he could partially achieve the objective by letting the protagonist win, knowing he would definitely take care of his mother. The last game is the only game where self-preservation no longer aligns with his objective, being the undistracted logic machine that he is, he gave up his life to partially fulfil the objective. His character is consistent throughout.

The light-hearted game they played at the metro station for slaps because he didn’t have money to pay up and had to use his body as collateral. That was an ingenuous move. It was a small psychological test to prime the potential candidates to put their body, their lives, on the line for higher stakes later. Great foreshadowing and story writing. ***SPOILER ALERT AHEAD*** he finally wins the slapping game and wanted to go in for the slap, after being slapped dozens of times, and forgetting about the money. Which was the reason why he entered the wager in the first place. As the games/shows went on, the money meant less and less to him. With him wanting retribution and justice in the end. Edit: I just realize that ddakji (the Korean childhood game) inspired a similar childhood game in the West during the '90s called Pogs. Where elementary kids bet their pogs and slammers. It was practically teaching children to become future gamblers without even knowing it lol. Fueling that reward system in the brain for addiction. Which is what this show is also about. Whether you're betting on horses, dogs, races, sports, lotto, casino games/slots, stocks/options/futures, higher education, property/businesses, or on human lives. I guess most childhood stories and games have a dark underlying theme to it that mirrors the real world.

Did anyone notice how in the glass bridge game, whenever someone pushed another player into the glass in front of them it ALWAYS ended up breaking and not being tempered glass?
The shady side at Red Light, Green Light would be beneficial, because of the direction the head is moving. You would have way more time to stop moving and the camera would stop detecting you at an earlier stage.
Huh, we're on the same page! Not to mention it always seemed like the time before verbal warning and actual death was extremely close together, so getting every millisecond of reaction time is probably worth it.
“001 is having the time of his life because he realizes something that the other players Don’t” and also probably cuz of the fact that he knew he couldn’t die
You don't think he would have died if they failed tug of war? I think he had chances to die, but he knew he was dying anyway so was having fun. He just didn't die by getting shot. He could have died in lights out or tug of war.
@@niklaskrnk2902 yeah he could easily just let go if hes about to fall or something so he wouldnt fall and die, so either way he wasnt gonna die except for 5 and 6, cuz you cant remember the combinations even if you were the gamemaster all along lol. and for 6, he seems 'weak' but he knows how to play im guessing but the other person could probably throw him out easily so i think in the 4th game it was his perfect time to act out his death, lol. that was may more expanded then it needed to be
He actually called off the night time fighting. But he seemed to be in danger in the tug of war, and he could have definitely been in danger if he made it to the bridge. He was terminally ill, I think he was willing to die.
@@niklaskrnk2902 if you look close enough you can see he’s chained to it. Quite a wierd camera angle, but also I assume he had a way to get out of dying anyways (like it being unlocked or easy to get out of)
While everyone's sad over Ali and Il-nam's deaths during the marble game, the one death that hit me the most was Sae-byeok's first friend, Ji-yeong. They had such a nice bond over the course of thirty minutes, and seeing Sae-byeok cry over someone when she's usually cold and untrusting was just really sad. It gives off a vibe where it doesn't matter how long you've known someone, but as long as they're open to you, you can trust them, and that literally contrasts almost everyone's relationships in the game. And seeing Sae-byeok losing the one she's starting to trust really broke me tbh. Their friendship could've been really nice.

First
Ali's death was the most heartbreaking one. He trusted his friend with his marbles and was killed completely cold heartedly by him. And he had so much more to live for, a wife and a young son. His "friend" knew it and still stole his rightful win (life)
Their first mistake was trusting a dude with that much debt at stake ALSO wanted by the police. He's as dangerous as the criminal when it comes to desperation
Tbh, when i saw Ali for the first time, the first thought popped into my head was "Aww, he's gonna die first isn't he?"
He's the only foreigner in a sea of Koreans, an obvious disadvantage in cultural knowledge and alliance. His respectful mannerism, kindness and trusting nature are indeed lovable but completely useless in a death game. A strong body but weak mind, leaving him the easiest target possible.
The thing is, there's no "rightful win" in those games imo, it's only survival and all the participants agreed to come back.
Those games are twisted for sure, but come on, it's obvious you shouldn't trust anyone here in the first place.
I don't blame Sangwoo at all, he was realistic and knew only one of them was going to get out of there alive.
i 100% agree
ali would've been fucked if he got out though, since he crushed his manager's hand in the steel roller
I think Ali's death was sadder than Sae-Byeok, because at least Sae-Byeok's brother is in good hands with Sangwoo's mother while Ali's family is left to wonder what happened to him and didn't get anything to compensate their loss. The consequence of his death was sadder, but both of their deaths had me crying
AND he got tricked by the person he trusted the most. That's why Ali's death is the most devistating death of them all
I was shocked the main guy didn't do more to help them.
We literally watched sae byeok die in a slow and painful death. On top of that, Gi hun’s reaction made it even harder. The scene was perfectly executed, enough to make the audience feel their pain. Her death got to me the most, couldn’t stop crying. As tough as it was, at least Ali’s death was quick, one shot to the head and it was blurred in the background

hey, it's worth some of the things you can pick up. for me, it just reinforces the idea that panicking never helps anyone. that's a real life skill, and while it obviously doesn't work when mid-panic attack, it can help keep a clear head before you get there.
character: *dies*
CS: And that was his BIGGEST mistake. What he should've realized was that dying statistically increases your chance of death to 100%. If it were me, I would simply NOT die. That way, I can increase my chances of survival.
Lmao very true
Your not entirely right but your absolutely not wrong
Just don't die!
true lmao

Ali's kindness was what killed him and that's heartbreaking.
Seriously made me so mad, I cried.

I wasn't sad at all, he was too stupid unfortunately...
@@Filipas-el9sp daaaamn lol SAVAGE! But, I can see what you're saying. I actually liked the guy, thought the film did right by adding a character to represent trust, loyalty, and humanity. Unfortunately that's what killed him, just goes to show, in a game of life or death with money being the influence. People will disregard everything they know and love being blinded by greed and fear.
@@laz5518 I agree, I liked him as a personality. I just had a better thought. We can't actually say Ali was completely stupid, but only that the other guy was smarter and therefore acted like he found a solution. Hats off to him for making up a perfect plan of deception during all of this tension.
A necessary appreciation comment for Ali because we don't talk about him much. He literally slayed his role which is one of the most innocent character in the history of kdrama & the actor nailed it with that depth in his expressions **claps**

For the marbles game, they didn't state that you have to keep your marbles. Just that you have to have you opponents. So, just exchanging the marbles would let both players win.
That's a fun loophole, I wonder what they would have done if someone tried that-
Nice loophole
liking the comment so i can come back to this.. just in case i ever end up as a participant lmfao
I have a STRONG feeling that would not be allowed. Just a hunch...
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 The rules don't forbid it. And we have multiple examples in the show that anything not explicitly forbidden is allowed, even if it gives you an advantage (hiding behind someone in the red light green light game, licking the biscuit, pushing people on the glass panels...). I don't remember anyone following the rules being killed by a guard.
So basically, the best way to beat this death game, is to just never gamble in the first place. Easy enough.

Ali and Sae-Byeok's death was one of the heartbreaking moment I really sympathized for. Both of them were poor because a victim of fraud in foreign country... while the others came to the game mostly after being in debt caused by gambling.

Also the wall could be used to keep yourself still if you wanted

The marbles were the most screwed up emotionally, but the glass bridge was the most screwed up fairness-wise.

Also during the second game, Sang-Woo knew what game it was, but he still told everyone to spread in the four symbols. When he calls Gi-Hun and stays silent, is when he knows Gi-Hun would certainly die because he choose the umbrella but he felt that he needed to guarantee the death of the others to increase his winrate even though he is his friend.

This storyline shows how crazy people are about money and how they'll do anything to get it, even killing others. A very interesting take on society.
Bingo.
I don't think it was about how people are crazy about money, it was about desperation and poverty. The people there weren't like just greedy people. The second episode where they all go back to their regular lives and realize how awful poverty is, and realizing they'd be better off taking an impossible chance to escape it, shows how it's a critique of capitalism specifically, not only of human greed.
@@DiePoopable i agree. material conditions are what determine human nature, its not some inexplicable thing
@@DiePoopableHaha insane that you think one mediocre and very fictional movie can show anything about real world. Under circumstances in the movie everyone was already dead when they got there in first place, so we cant tell that their motivation is money at all. In fact winner of the game has pretty much zero motivation from money, but for surviving.
@@filippetrovic845 Well, I disagree completely. Works of fiction do say things about the real world, and about humanity. You don't have to make like a hyper realistic plot or setting for your movie to reflect on real stuff.
We absolutely can tell their motivation was money, what are you talking about? They vote to end the game after the first game and go back to their lives in poverty. Then most of them realize how awful it is and decide to go back to the game because they'd rather take the long shot even though they will most likely die. This is a pretty on the nose reflection on poverty, at the very least, and about capitalism more broadly.
Everyone is saying how the old man's death was sad, but what was really awful was Ali's death. Sang-woo did him so dirty all because he was down to 1 marble and about to lose the game.

The old man's death was actually annoying, knowing what he did. He should've suffered more.
As a former art student I absolutely LOVED the visual contrast between the game and real life. Everything in the game is filled with highly saturated color and exaggerated size to give an illusion of happiness of innocence (as if you are a child) while making you feel small and helpless. The real life scenes are gray and hopeless, despite the hopeful nature of life
I was actually in love with the set design. Especially Front Man's office based off an Art Deco aesthetic and the staircase hall which I'm pretty sure was highly inspired by MC Escher's "Relativity" ;)
100% agreed! This associated innocence also makes all those scenes terrifying with a specific flavor. I also believe that the settings (as you said, that they give that illusion of happiness and innocence) emphasize the psychological aspect of those games
sorry but I thought this highly saturated theming was highly counterproductive. the premise of the entire show is that these games could occur in real life, but the comical nature of the setting and goons make it hard to take anything seriously, not to mention the whacko soundtrack.
@@LinoLizard V

@@harrysu7643 I don't think the premise of the show is that the games could occur in real life, I think quite the opposite. The front man explained how everyone gets a fair chance and is equal in here whereas it's not the same outside. So they believe this place is superior than outside. They play children games and the setting seems to be more child-like so I think it's suitable.
Notice how when the old man cried out for the fighting to stop the guards came in. Hindsight showed me that he had some type of power
Exactly. His way of commanding the end of the violence.
When I saw it I thought it was a "okay, finally someone is pleading to end the massacre as we intented, now we can do it". But in hindsight it makes a lot of sense.
i love how his power was just blatantly shown to us at first, yet his identity was so well hidden that a lot of us didnt expect it
When I first saw that I was confused and couldn’t think of an explanation why
@@Luke-kc9li same,I never thought for a second he was the master despite it being shown in plain sight
Sang woo didn't plan to deliberately kill Gi Hun by suggesting they take different doors. The game could have a limited number of winners per room for all he knew, and getting the whole group in one room means some of them have to die for the others to survive. He basically took the easiest route for himself and avoided a zero sum situation for the group.

The glass bridge game actually punished the players for eliminating their competition. The more players there are, the higher chance the average player has of survival.
not necessarily true, because their was a time limit, a time limit that the 16th person only just made it to the end in time for. Meaning anybody extra that survived up to that point (assuming all events play out the same) just mean people at the end of the line who don't make it in time.
@@CrypticCobra That is possible, though I think we would also see more people from the back running up and pushing people in the front sooner if that were the case
True up to a point. As already mentioned the time limit is something to be considerate of. If nobody pushed the religious dude or the mafia dude they never would have made it.
The time limit was 16 minutes, which seems to indicate that more player would mean more time
@@CrypticCobra while it’s true there was a time limit, something to take into consideration is that the time limit was 16 minutes, and given there were 16 players playing the game, that means 1 minute for every player left going into the game. It could be entirely possible that they made this time limit so that it could have been seen as a punishment for eliminating more of their competitors.
Example: Let’s say the Midnight Brawl never happened and we had 108 going into Tug of War. Let’s also assume that the same in-between deaths happened after Tug of War and two teams lost both people as in the actual show. This would leave 21 people remaining, so they could have given 21 minutes for the remaining competitors to cross the bridge rather than the 16 they were actually given.
How to beat squid game (for those who don't want to watch the full 44 mins)
1. Red light green light: stay low to the ground on the full surface area of your foot and stay away from people so you don't get sabotaged
2. Honeycomb: use your saliva to soften the cookie then carefully remove the shape
3. Nighttime violence: team up and stay in the corner so you only have 1/4 of the room to monitor and defend. take turns with your teammates to stay on guard so you can get rest
4. tug of war: lock your arms behind your thigh and lean back so you can use your entire body weight. The strongest person is at the back and they use an anchor lock.
5. 2 player marble games: partner up with your biggest enemy so you don't feel sad if they lose and play the game 'nim'. make sure you go first and remove 2 marbles then do the opposite of what your opponent does so you pick up the last marble.
6. glass stepping stones: choose numbers 10-13 for a higher chance of passing or get your shoes and tie them in your jacket and hit the glass to check if they're stable or not
7. squid game: if you win the coin toss, choose defence as it has a higher chance of winning since you don't have to run through a small gap.
8. collect your monayy
CHEATS FOR 1,2,4 AND 5
1. Hide behind another player so you don't get spotted easily
2. If you sneaked in a lighter like the lady, stay somewhere you don't get caught easily and use it to heat up the needle
4. tie the rope to the bars on the side and use the bars as foot stoppers or communicate to your team before the match to try to predict what will happen so your team has back up plans.
5. if your teammate refuses to play nim or refuses to go 2nd in nim just secretly untie their shoelaces and get them to give you their marbles while they tie their laces so you can switch the pouches and give the guard their pouch.

In the marble game, I'm surprised that no one tried to just exchange bags with their partners. Wouldn't this mean that both meet the win condition and survive? Worth trying it at least.
it's worth trying if they don't kill you at the end. but since they do, and most of them want to survive, that's why they decided to win no matter what at least those with a will to live, but the pink guys don't help much and also they actually wanted to reduce the players half the population, so i don't think they would let it pass(i really think you need them 20)

The first game was definitely the most unfair. Imagine you catch on right away and you're prepared to stay still, but then you just get swept up in the terrified mob running for the door because you can't do anything to dodge them without being shot anyway.

That's where it helps to be big. I'm ~5'10" but not far from 300 lbs. Most of those competitors would be smaller than me, making it easier to knock them aside if they try to rush through me.

Pretty sure he means far away from crowds of people. No matter where you are, people are going to be around considering there are around 500 players. He means stay somewhere far from large crowds of people, and distance yourself to the walls. There will likely be people but a lot lesser and safer. Use the people there as shields.
Run around in a circle! 😂
Its so weird how the front man said they are "fair and equal" only to turn off the lights during the glass game. It was very unfair for the last 4 who almost made it through..but well..
He was being watched and egged on by the VIPS
i feel like as soon as people were allowed to build alliances it wasn't fair, like what's fair about a group of dangerous thugs being able to plot against old men and women
m.ruclips.net/video/mZilw16J38s/видео.html
Game was totally rigged against the participants. Who would have thought that the organizers of a death contest would be so ruthless
well the glass maker had an advantage, though his advantage helped the others, killing the lights makes it theoretically fair cuz its eliminating said advantage and he gets to play just like the rest.

That part was brutal
@@marzbarj16 Fr!
Even ignoring the other strategies, you can maximize your chances of picking the right shape on the honeycomb game by using process of elimination on the shapes. You have a triangle, circle, star, and umbrella. Three of them are basic geometric shapes, so you can eliminate the umbrella as the odd one out there. From there, you have two shapes with straight edges and corners, and a rounded circle. The circle is the odd one out, so again, you can eliminate it. After that, you have the triangle, which is the most stable and one of the most simple geometric shapes, and a star, which has lots of concave sections and is a much more complex shape. Of those two, even not knowing the game, the triangle is a safer bet.
and then the game is to hang the form in a tree or not get wet from rain...
Lool this is so BS. You just described dumb and unnecessary complex way of choosing the simplest shape as if you knew beforehand that simpler is better.
I agree with this logic, with nothing to go on, I would also choose this path. But @filippetrovic845 is right... it's not a guarantee. Thankfully we would have been fine in this case, haha.
The moment Sang-woo betrayed Ali was the most heartbreaking moment
The moment Ali looked in the bag and discovered stones instead of marbles... fuk
Ali was such a kind person and trusted sang-woo so much, but was betrayed. I feel bad for his wife and child
Agreed! That was cold as f. And he knew Ali had more to live for, a family with a young son. :(
My sis was in tears before he even died knowing that Sang-woo was the name of a sadistic ass dude from a webcomic. She called it and said he was gonna screw Ali over when he started yelling at him. She wanted to say Ali should have argued they didn't play for the marbles and that technically Sang-woo just stole them but it was too late 😂
@@KINGJERMARCUS nobody will ever care if you keep self promoting on unrelated comments like this.
After watching this video, I realized that the ending shows that Gi-hun still hasn’t grown even after everything. Instead of thinking rationally and going to his daughter and family, he’s still stuck up on revenge, in the same way he was when he was playing the slapping game, and in the same way when he played the squid game.
Edit: I realize after more comments that I’m slightly wrong. Let me explain a bit. He definitely did grow a bit, as he isn’t completely blinded by money in the same way he was before, and now his care for others beats his care for money. I still believe he has an issue with thinking about consequences though. For one, how much can he really do to this organization? Does he not consider the fact that trying to challenge the very organization that basically gave him everything and easily could have ended his life could lead to a very easy death. They can easily get eyes on him, even with all the money he now has (which again was given to him by the organization he is trying to take down). And without that money there really isn’t much he can do unless he gets lucky again. After everything he’s been through, he should realize that he got lucky, and I would say him trying to retaliate is just him playing another dangerous game. He’s always been compassionate and it seems like he’s more responsible with his money now, but it still seems like he’s rushing into things. I guess we will see what happens next season but I think he should’ve gone to see to his family first then tried to consider a plan and implement it. I don’t mind discussing with others though.
Really poor character development
I thought the same
Maybe it'll change in season 2
I think its not about revenge. Its his civic duty, which at heart hes too nice of a guy where it damages his relationships. For example, when he missed the birth of his daughter because he was helping someone at work. Hes just a nice guy, and this is even stated when the beautiful third finalist died. It goes full circle.
Also with the slapping game, I feel like it shows us how bad of a gambler he was and how it costed him his family. Good intentions but never the right choices, as we he missed the remaining days with his mom :[
PS RIP ALI
Yes, but actually, no.
Yes, he could've used the money to help 67's family and other dead people's families. He has this thing where he really wants to help people, as seen through the whole show on how he treats his friends and genuinely wants to save others but he also has this thing where he doesn't really help at the same time, as seen at the start of the show with his mother and at the end of the show, even wasted a year. Overall, not that good of a guy, but still has good intentions.
BUT then things get a bit better after meeting the old man again. Finally cut his hair, took 67's little brother to Sang-woo's mother and even gave a ton of his money for the first time. Even vowed to stop the future games possibly helping A LOT of people. He missed the chance to help others for over a year but at least he snapped out of it so he has grown in that sense.
He'll probably come back to his family after he has stopped the games. His daughter is living fine in America anyway so it's okay, they can wait, as long as he prevents the games from happening again.
@@SamuelDoesntExist Good thing, then! If he went back to his daughter, there'd be no Season 2. 💀 And the games would keep happening since no one will try to stop it so not really poor character development plus he did finally help the people he knows at the very end so...
what really stood out for me in this game is when the majority of the players chose to leave the game the 1st time, the game makers actually respected that choice and let them go free (although under watch) and that they never forced any of them to play or come back. It shows that the game makers hold the rules and beliefs to a high regard, as they follow them to a fault and those who disobey are immedietly executed. the only exeception to this is when the vips arrive and they have to make the odds more interesting.
It also shows that they’re either foolish or powerful enough to not be concerned about witnesses to their mass murders.
it seemed to me like they were just doing whatever whenever
Wat about the people who died without knowing they could die
lawful evil
What about the fact that they knowingly let some people get seconds when going for foods while other were given none. Surely that's not equal

For the glass game, couldn’t the the glassmaker use his jacket? Their jackets have zippers that could’ve tested the sound of each glass. Plus, you can keep reusing it
YESSS I had the same thought!! You could snap it across (if you hold it by a sleeve, it would probably reach).
thats clever yeah
There were all of those shoes they could have taken with them. The rules only said they had to take them off, there was nothing against taking them along.
There are loads of things they could have used. They could have also thrown the marble as hard as possible at the glass to test if it breaks or not. The only issue is it may not even break normal glass.
Hmm, yes. Taking off ur jacket and hitting glass that u can barely see with 20 seconds left
The first death game, the Red Light and Green Light game, the robot always looks to the left or the sunny side first, so the shaded side is safer due to more time to react and balance out.
you have a point
I think it doesn't make a difference since the robot only starts to detect motions when it's head is centered
Yes but that means most of the people will go to the shadow side, and they don't even get that much extra time that is remarkable so its still good to go to the sunny side to prevent someone killing you

Though it is unconfirmed, it is theorized that the Marbles game is completely survivable for all players involved. While the rules state that a player must obtain all ten of their partner's marbles to win, they do not specify that you have to possess all twenty marbles in play, meaning that if two players simply swapped all their marbles with their partner, they would both be winners.

In the marbles game, if your partner refuses to play they will be eliminated and not you. Rule #2 explicitly states that a player will be eliminated if they refuse to play. Therefore all Gi-Hun needed to do, was to explain to the guards that Oh-Il Nam (player 001) was refusing to play and Gi-Hun would have gone through.
Probably not since he owned the game
Guess there was no way for him to know that
He did do that though. The guard wasn't interested.
@@chasm671 yes he did complain a bit to one of the guards, but I think he needed to state his case better, as in find a square head guard, or camera to the Front Man, and explain that rule #2 was being broken.

i really loved squid game because unlike many other death game shows squid game showed the behind the scenes of the game. like when they change all the clothes and show the camera rooms etc. it fills a lot of plot holes that other shows like squid game leave as blank or as "magic". it makes it more real feeling and that just ups the quality and creep factor in my eyes tbh.
edit: also, i recently found out for the glass game the actors were actually afraid since they were a bit high off the ground while filming. which made it so much cooler because they were all actually afraid of falling.
yep 100% agree-- the fact that there maybe just as many or even MORE people involved in the production of this game, getting things done, preparing the materials, knowing people will die while they just do as they're told is so terrifying
hola hello
I also loved it for the ending. For such an over the top show, it had a pretty grounded and low-key ending.
What about escape the night? It showed behind the scenes
But I don't think it's on Netflix XD

For the marble game, the rules only stated you needed to win your opponents 10 marbles. It never said you need to have yours by the end. What stopped them from making the game "exchange" and just exchanging your marbles so that you BOTH have your opponent's 10 marbles and both win?
That's what confused me because what Sangwoo said about them both being able to pass..
I know he was tricking Ali but it could have.. worked? Since they want 'fairness' it's only fair to play by the rules and since exchanging each other's marbles isn't against the rules then they should have both been able to pass. Unless I'm missing something. I guess Sangwoo just didn't want to take that chance.
@@lovebite4486 I think the concept was you required to hand 20 marbles in once one person hands it in from the pair the other loses.

He did sacrifice himself, "rather be dead than go home with nothing" is too emotional for the likes of him.
Throughout the game his only agenda was to do what's logical, be altruistic or self-serving depending on which gives him the better chance at achieving his objective (pay the debt on him and his mother, remember he's sunk all of his mother's savings and properties into bonds as well). In the final moment, the goal is now unattainable in full, he could either walk out alive and lose the objective entirely, or he could partially achieve the objective by letting the protagonist win, knowing he would definitely take care of his mother. The last game is the only game where self-preservation no longer aligns with his objective, being the undistracted logic machine that he is, he gave up his life to partially fulfil the objective. His character is consistent throughout.

The light-hearted game they played at the metro station for slaps because he didn’t have money to pay up and had to use his body as collateral. That was an ingenuous move. It was a small psychological test to prime the potential candidates to put their body, their lives, on the line for higher stakes later. Great foreshadowing and story writing.
***SPOILER ALERT AHEAD*** he finally wins the slapping game and wanted to go in for the slap, after being slapped dozens of times, and forgetting about the money. Which was the reason why he entered the wager in the first place. As the games/shows went on, the money meant less and less to him. With him wanting retribution and justice in the end.
Edit: I just realize that ddakji (the Korean childhood game) inspired a similar childhood game in the West during the '90s called Pogs. Where elementary kids bet their pogs and slammers.
It was practically teaching children to become future gamblers without even knowing it lol. Fueling that reward system in the brain for addiction. Which is what this show is also about.
Whether you're betting on horses, dogs, races, sports, lotto, casino games/slots, stocks/options/futures, higher education, property/businesses, or on human lives. I guess most childhood stories and games have a dark underlying theme to it that mirrors the real world.

@@niklaskrnk2902 yeah he could easily just let go if hes about to fall or something so he wouldnt fall and die, so either way he wasnt gonna die except for 5 and 6, cuz you cant remember the combinations even if you were the gamemaster all along lol. and for 6, he seems 'weak' but he knows how to play im guessing but the other person could probably throw him out easily so i think in the 4th game it was his perfect time to act out his death, lol. that was may more expanded then it needed to be
He actually called off the night time fighting. But he seemed to be in danger in the tug of war, and he could have definitely been in danger if he made it to the bridge. He was terminally ill, I think he was willing to die.
@@niklaskrnk2902 if you look close enough you can see he’s chained to it. Quite a wierd camera angle, but also I assume he had a way to get out of dying anyways (like it being unlocked or easy to get out of)
While everyone's sad over Ali and Il-nam's deaths during the marble game, the one death that hit me the most was Sae-byeok's first friend, Ji-yeong. They had such a nice bond over the course of thirty minutes, and seeing Sae-byeok cry over someone when she's usually cold and untrusting was just really sad. It gives off a vibe where it doesn't matter how long you've known someone, but as long as they're open to you, you can trust them, and that literally contrasts almost everyone's relationships in the game. And seeing Sae-byeok losing the one she's starting to trust really broke me tbh. Their friendship could've been really nice.
Also ji yeong tried to hold back her sadness and smile which was really sad
@@alfresco1552 ji-yeong deserved better.
Please when she died, I was absolutely sobbing, I don't usually cry at people's death or anything and that was the one part that got me so so sad.
Yes! I'm the saddest over jiyeong. She actually sacrifice herself for an almost stranger
That hit me hard too because I was expecting to find out byeok had pick pocketed her marbles, but instead she was honest
I thought we had already established to *never* trust people who say:
“Do you want to play a game?”
Guess Koreans dont watch Jigsaw
and they stole the twist xD
@@papabumba478 Yep. This is basically Jigsaw if he ran a crime syndicate or whatever.
Saw: I want to play a game.
Chuckey: Wanna play a game?
Squid game: Do you want to play a game?
It’s always bad.
Well good luck being a parent…
39:50 imagine if they actually quit the game and all 500 people died for their friendship
