That talent scout guy is the protagonist from train to busan and Goblin...
goblin= korea name is dokkebi ( a game under the name of dokkev)
Thank you!!! I thought he looked familiar!
Also..
The barista from Coffee Prince
The teacher from Silenced
His name is gong yoo
I am Korean. I love squid game. but train to Busan really sucks. It makes me cringe. I couldn't keep watching it to the end.
27:52 - A meme going around is Squid Game is a prequel to Train to Busan, and the zombies are the dead players coming back to deal with Gong Yoo (talent scout).
And then Zombie Gong Yoo gets reincarnated as Kim Shin as a Goblin.😂
Nice one 😂😂😂
@@_ashmason007 oof XD
@@mehismaknae2769 Lmao Gong yoo never ages 😂 He looks the same XD
@@_ashmason007 ikr!
You're right Jaby, you've seen him before. He's the protagonist in Train to Busan :)
Yes i thought i saw the sales guy before thanks for telling
Yes and he is also from Goblin series
Damn he is a good actor
Yes I saw him thank you for reminding
@Sang-Woo did nothing wrong prepare yourself to not be the same afterwards. LOL! this is your warning
When the staircase scene came up, my brother and I were watching, and I mentioned M.C. Escher. My brother goes, "Why is it so colorful?" Anyone asking wondering why they chose all the Easter pastel colors, it's a psychological move to make someone put their guard down. They see bright festive colors, they figure nothing bad could happen. They're here to win a lot of money, and the colors make it look like this is going to be a celebratory affair. If they would've gone with black, white and gray, it would've changed their mindset, and that would've changed the atmosphere altogether. There are some jail cells that are colored certain shades of blue or green, as cooler colors tend to make inmates behave better and act calmer than they normally would be under a stressful situation like sitting in jail.

Maybe. Or it was just a nice design choice
@@lightup6751 It did look festive lol
Yeah like McDonalds has a specific shade of yellow that induces hunger
Underrated comment
People here don't know the difference between the character nd an actor.. They are saying the actor is indian.. They know character is a different thing
The actor is Indian, the character is pakistani.

I’m pakistani and I assumed the character was Indian at first too coz Indians are mostly shown rather than Pakistani so I was shocked when I realised the character is actually Pakistani lol
ITS SHOCKING OF HOW LITTLE V EFFECTS ARE THERE IN THIS CAUSE ALL THE SETS WERE ACTUALLY BUILT TO MAKE THE ACTORS/PLAYERS MORE ENGROSSED IN THE ACTING
The Irregulars | Official Trailer | Netflix | My Review
ruclips.net/video/Om2X5Afx-ns/видео.html
Not for the first game. The walls are totally fake in the behind the scenes. But for the other games, yeah. Not too much visual effects overall.
One very subtle thing about the Korean word for “eliminated” (탈락, Tal-lag) is that it sounds more like “failing to make the cut” or “failing to win” than “being removed”. “Eliminated” is similar to “removed”, so people can more easily infer that it may mean “killed” in English. Koreans would not assume it means getting killed… although the circumstances these participants are in suggest that.
I’m sure there are a lot of nuances that we miss out on because we are reading subtitles but it’s so much fun to watch stories from another culture and see what we do get while also exposing ourselves to different cultures and ways of thinking. Can’t wait to complete the show and see where it ends up!
@@Achara Yes! I am glad you two are doing reactions to this show. There are a lot of subtle things that are missed due to translation, cultural differences, etc. But, I did enjoy your review/analysis.
The Irregulars | Official Trailer | Netflix | My Review
ruclips.net/video/Om2X5Afx-ns/видео.html
"Eliminated" is the correct word even in English and I think it's a good translation. In sports tournaments, teams that get knocked out are eliminated. Or just any competition that involves knockout type of match-ups. I'm not sure why people think "eliminated" gives anything away. Yeah it can mean people get killed, but in the real world it's correct for a loser of a competition.
@@sadonishi6158 I think you misunderstood what I wrote or didn’t understand what I was saying at all. I never said it was not a correct translation or word in English. What I was saying is that the Korean word is subtly different. “Eliminated” is probably the best word in English for the Korean word. However, like any similar words in English, there are subtle things that cannot be directly translated. That word is similar to “getting dropped” or “dropping out” or “failing to make the cut”, etc. However, many reactors on RUclips, because they probably kind of knew what the show is about, almost immediately mentioned that the participants would die when they read “eliminated” in the subtitles. I was saying that it would be less obvious in Korean.
Just finished this and I have to say this that the whole game is about losing trust in humanity and all. All I can say is this just fits my type.
@@jhaipi90 same
@@jhaipi90 its like saying if You have money You can do anything
@@jhaipi90 its not the end yet
@@jhaipi90 ig they want us to just leave in a cliffhanger.. just craving for more. Although the writer made it quite clear that there won't be any second part but let's see.
then you'll like 'Alice in Borderland' on netflix, its similar to squid game but better!!
fun fact: there was actually very little VFX used in this show; the Escher like staircase e.g. was indeed built as a set piece.
"That's some wild visual effects"
/Art Director and Team happy another person was tricked by their actual set design
Welp heeeeere we go... Also that guy in the suit who gave him the invite is the main protagonist in Train to Busan, if you didn't notice
That’s right!! We were like, we’ve seen this guy before…but from where? 🤔
Guy shot to fame with Goblin.
@@ramengirll my grandma watch Kdramas since 10 years ago....i knew him since 2012 😅
I know him from Coffee Prince
@@stevesusanto7443 he was great in Coffee prince
4:58 - I love that this gangster henchman was just walking around with a porcelain bowl just for the right occasion. 🤣
and that right occasion comes very often
He's the bowl guy
I think people misunderstood Gihun a lot (The main protag) The point isn't that he's a gambling addict. Gong yoo already said that He graduated from technical school and have stable job until he's got unfairly laidoff and even protested and later he did small businesses but failed thus where his debt came from (fyi the director reference the unfair laidoff workers from true event) He's desperate is the point. He's down on his luck. The director want us to relate with the characters and that whether you're a blue-collar workers or a white collar office worker like the SNU graduate guy. We all can be down on our luck just like Gihun
I can honestly say this is the best series I’ve ever seen on netflix
Try alice in borderland & itaewon class both are great & available in english
@@jasmeetsingh6845 sweet home also
@@xavier_indian_memer read sweet home mahnwa you'll enjoy more
Try dark bro goat
There are better series than Squid Game for me. It's ahrd 7/10. Alice in Borderland was more gripping as a show from the same genre.
And also apparently according to Korean people who have watched this show and understand the language have said that the English subtitles don't do enough justice to what the actual dialogues are like the writing actually is so so much better than what the subtitles actually convey to the audience
It’s always been like that. Watching dramas for a while, sometimes I myself can figure out a difference in what they are saying and the subtitles
Prove it
The Irregulars | Official Trailer | Netflix | My Review
ruclips.net/video/Om2X5Afx-ns/видео.html
Yeah that's right... Watching the series in its original language does justice but the subtitles create a blunder to the actual dialogues
I think an important factor that gets lost in translation is the actual value of 100,000w. That sounds like a lot, but it’s not even 100 usd. He beat up his body all for the chance to win $100 once. That’s how they determine worthy players for their game…
value of the currency varies from place to place.. $100 value is a lot in other places compared to its value in US
@@pranaychandra5655 yeah, we don't really know how far $100 can stretch in Korea. Or at least I, personally, have no clue.
@@pranaychandra5655 100,000 won has the same value in South Korea just like $100 in the US, so it's not worth much
@@wingardiumleviosa5311 but when ur desperate 100 is a lot for a little 100 more than he has
Jaby : that actor is perfect ..

All kdrama fandom : WE KNOWWWWW
One of the best series on Netflix till date.
No dude watch Dark
@@20tejas Yes.. for me dark for better
@@20tejas Nothing wrong in saying Dark is better, but there is something wrong to come off as if the OP’s statement isn’t still valid. They clearly said “one of the best series,” which is inherently not the same as “the best series ever”. Just using logic and common sense should have been enough to understand that SG might fall in their top 5, top 10, etc., but not necessarily their number 1 favorite Netflix series.

Not gonna lie I binge watch the whole serie in one day...and it is crazy...I even want revisit it...

Bruhh 🤣
Oml 😭😂

"Well we're going to find out who the main cast is real quick!" 🤣🤣🤣 Straight Facts Achara!
Gong Yoo in a business suit meant that this is Train To Busan prequel. This was his side job while being a hedge fund manager before the zombie outbreaks, lol!
I think Jaby is talking about “Fight or Flight” reaction when people started running.
Fight, Flight, or Freeze is apparently a more accurate description.
In this instance, people who ‘Freeze’ would probably do the best.
As someone who has an automatic ‘Fight’ response, I have learned many things about my instincts over the years - don’t go to ‘haunted houses’, people will frequently run from a smaller woman if they are caught off-guard, & I would die in the first episode of Squid Game. 😐
you guys made best reactions of squid game. other channels just watch videos together , but you two speak what you analyze after watching. so nice and waiting next episode. there were many similar show of death games, but I guess the differences are the director of this series tried to show the social problems all the time.
The Irregulars | Official Trailer | Netflix | My Review

You might not “like” him now but in the next few episodes especially the second one, you’ll definitely “sympathize” with him and root for him especially if you are close to your mother. And the actor does a very good job in doing so.
Yeah so that is what you don't type. Telling them for one, he won't die right away and two, a part of his story arc.
@@numbersandsports4206 This I barely a spoiler 😂
@@Emancy3 In a show based on tension. murder and anyone dying at any moment .. yes, it is as spoiler as it gets.
This is probably one of the hardest roles to do. I hope he will win some awards for it.
FYI the old lady in the market is his childhood friend's mom, the one he runs into inside the game.
The lead actor was the handsome romantic lead in the classic Korean film “Il Mare” (which was adapted into the Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock movie, “The Lakehouse”). Well worth a watch!
Wait the Lakehouse was an adaptation??
I need to watch the original now
@@Lillith-uj7tt Haha yes indeed, and it got quite some flak back then for changing up bits of the plot, as Hollywood tends to do. The original Korean version is a legit tear jerker though, so prepare a tissue box if you do watch it! ;)
Another great korean film hes in, is Assassination, i believe. :)
@@ohnoez3 Yes indeed, and that was his reunion film with his fellow "Il Mare" actress Gianna Jun, who recently appeared in "Kingdom: Ashin of the North" as the lead.
The best series I've ever watched. Blew my mind.
ever? come on bro
Then you probably haven't watched that many shows...
R u comedy me😂😂😂
@@AllThingsKen preferences are not objective. Let people have their own opinions
@@lo_Ovung I mean it’s a great show but his comment kind of shows that he didn’t watch many shows growing up

The excitement chicha had while playing the game was absolutely golden😂

@@grenvilaranha4067 lol😂, Just to be clear, you DO know what chicha means, right?
You missed the point at the end, its not that he knows he wont die, its about having fun. Watch the last episode again
Usually I skip commentary parts because those are nothing worthy than their facial expressions in most videos. But here, I really enjoyed your commentaries more.
I totally agree! I have watched so many reaction videos of Squid Game on youtube, and this is the best commentary by far.

If you watch the behind the scene, they actually build the set and its massive and looks crazy.
I mean would u think it’s cgi
@@kait7404 somepeople think the cave scene is CGI
The visuals and set design in the series are spectacular. (And I love the characters, acting and music as well!)
This show! IT has almost the perfect mix of story reveal, plot progression, a clear visual style and nuanced characters. A breath of fresh air in comparison to the never-ending corporate status quo of remakes and pre-occupation with ‘brand’ and intellectual copyright ownership creating inter generational storytelling stasis.
"This should be called Squib Game." Legit good pun, Achara. 😂👍
That's top tier dad humor right there.
Ratio bozo 😐
I really love how this show constantly subverts expectations.
He's Gong Yoo from Train to Busan. 😊 He is such a talented actor.
The best part of this show is that it's like a warning or alert that the Rich or Elite can get away with something like this perfectly fine just for the sake of entertainment and no one would even care or know 😲
Being somebody who saw the whole series in one go , I can’t wait for you to react to all the other episodes as well 😀💔🥲
You guys finally did it 🤣
Im so glad i finished it yesterday. Best show ever.
Same pinch ! Bro 😄
Same here
8:47 That actor is main actor from Train to Busan
everytime another one of my fav reaction channels jumps on Squid Game i get so excited, you guys are gonna have a blast with this show!!
When I say Red Light nobody have to move!!!!☠️
I will
Lol
Goblin is one of my fav kdrama. Was so happy to see him here but wanted more...
I suggested my friend just to watch EP1 and don't even google what's SquidGame.. I think he is gonna enjoy the most I guess.
Y'all are in for a TREAT. I binged this show and despite my beliefs it even topped Loki (which was my favorite show and is now close second). It's absolutely insane. This show will have you tense, relieved, heartbroken, excited, confused, scared and so much more. All the characters are written incredibly well, the actors are doing a hell of a job and the set designs never fail to look absolutely amazing.
@Aces bruh Loki is literally an awesome show just like the other mcu shows, no need to bash them. You can appreciate things without putting others down.
@@ot7biasedmashups if this is your top show you prolly haven't watched many
Idk why but Loki didn't work for me it's just I didn't like Sylvie's character and the Kang actor's direction was almost cringe for me (not the actor, the Direction) I loved the first two episodes but the third and half of the fourth didn't work for me
@@ot7biasedmashups
#FACTS
Loved the Gganbu episode it was intense and heart crushing😭😭😭😭😭
Human emotions and their cruelty is shown to such detail
well... these are not visual effects, these are real sets on which the people acted, also the doll is real too, squid game's idea was discovered in like 2008 and released now. Building time ya know
I would recommend Achara to watch Goblin , its one of the korean drama with 16 ep . Its the most funny and romantic one out their . The guy who comes and asks to play the card game ( Goong Yoo) , you can see hus performance in this drama
100.000 Won only equals $100! That's why he asked for 10.000 Won, it's just 10 bucks
What does won mean? Like win?
@@jonathanmeisel won is the money south koreans use
@@AK-do9jw Oh really, lol 😂. This whole time I thought they were talking about money won like in a bet or something 🤣
@@jonathanmeisel Yeah 'won' is like 'dollar' in North America or like the 'euro'; name of the currency itself.
@@jonathanmeisel man u r so ignorant 😂
The best part was seeing jaby's reaction on Indian guy like
yess finally
I was waiting for that whole time
The talent scout had smthing unique in his acting, I remembered his face till the last episode, n i only saw him once….
He's the lead in many Kdramas like Goblin (one of the most famous kdrama out there) and Train to Busan. His name is Gong Yoo.

I recommend the movie "New World" starring Lee Jung Jae, the main character of this drama.
Wait as you progress, you would be crazy for Lee Jung-Jae!!
A VERY important part of the first episode that a lot of people dont fully grasp is the moment he finally wins at ddakji with the "talent scout". He immediately goes to slap the guy back. Most just look past it as a "oh thats funny" kind of thing, but it is to show that our main character is truly an addict. It shows you that the "prize" isnt the only thing that makes him gamble, he gets completely lost in the moment of winning and is only there for that "high" and once in that zone cant see past it. Its the reason they explain at the VERY beginning when hes a kid and he won the squid game "I felt like i was on top of the world". Obviously hes no saint but I think a lot of people miss the critical moments that show his addiction in its purest form.
The talent scout is the main actor from Train to Busan.
19:27 that joke deserved more
it totally fits
Also i went in without reading or watching anything about this show (Not even the trailer) and it's a very good experience and you don't see a lot of things coming..
Asking people not to panic in any stressful situation let alone one like this doesn't seem like a practical thing because inherently you normally aren't thinking logically when you're panicking. It's a paradoxical instinct that triggers fight or flight responses and since there's no way to fight a lot of people chose flight even though it would get them killed
He keeps gambling because he's an addict! I don't get what you don't understand about addiction. You can't just stop when you want to!
but the other side of it.. he was gambling at that time cuz he was desperate to earn money as fast as he could so he would be able to treat his daughter to the best birthday that he could afford. so its like a deeper understanding of addiction..
"Grandpa's got balls" is NOT the sentence I wanted to hear today lmfaoo
I suppose only Americans would think that's possibly a real gun. To most of the rest of world, real guns are so uncommon that whenever we see one (like in someone's house or something), the first thing that crosses our minds is that it's a toy gun
It will fun watching this again with u guys. This web series is such a good explanation to human nature of greed & desperate nature to be alive even if that means killing someone u care about

oh man I don't wanna give anything away but all I can say is they analyzed this first episode really well. I won't get into specifics though, cause spoilers
5:23 That anger in Achara's face 😂
This show was a very nice surprise.
This show is insanely good!
At the End of the show I will see your Shocked, astonished faces guys. Just wait til the End. The worst & unexpected things are still yet to come...😉
This show had become THE MOST WATCHED NETFLIX SHOW EVER.
yep but dont spoilers then to much
Talent search actor played in the movie train to Busan
I also feel how you felt about the guy at first I was like This show has to do much to make me like the guy but As I am in ep 04 his innocence kinda made me like him he is not a bad guy just irresponsible at times
I'm glad that you React thia show, this show is everywhere, can't wait episode 6 to u react guys.
That's actually not visual effects. They really built it in a studio
Achara: 🗣 What the hell?! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
😂
Same.
There is a meme I have heard a lot that the main character of train to busan who is also the talent scout guy and all the dead people in squid game are the zombies in train to busan coming for their revenge...
I watched all 9 episodes it's awesome
Not a Spoiler(or maybe)
episode 6 is the episode you dont wanna see and there is a big twist in last episode.
What you can do instead of making the video disappear is almost make it faint and then you won't get copyright. Lots of channels do it. Without a video reference it's so hard to follow what u watching
The guy who recruited the main character is the father in Train to Busan. LOVE HIM.
SO excited for yall to watch this!!!
I'm so happy for Gong Yo love! He is amazing! His cameo suspense also adds to it!
he did it well like he is always neat and clean. girls like him.

I think the guy he played ddakji with has a major role in this series and we will see in upcoming seasons .. like that old man was the person behind everything.. I think that salesman has an important role also ..
I am sorry I know it's different on many different levels but I can't help but be reminded of the movie "Luck" of Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan
Anybody else??
