- You know what's crazy about Jung Ho-yeon? Squid Game was her first ever acting gig. She's actually a model. And then she just casually appears in the most successful Netflix show ever and kills it! Insane. - Considering the insane number of concerts I go to, it's fair to say that I'm kinda irresponsible with my money too. Luckily I'm not in debt but I should really start and control myself better 😅 - I really like the fact that they actually do terminate the games here. Gives us an opportunity to see how hellish these people's lives are outside. In some cases even worse than within the games. - Man, Ali's boss is a handful. Completely shameless about not paying his employees and doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's playing Solitaire on the job. The fact that Ali hasn't just quit a long time ago says something about the shit situation he's in. - Hot coffee, just what you need right now 👍🏻 - Sang-woo's mum breaks my heart. She thinks so highly of her son and why wouldn't she. But without any idea of Sang-woo's real situation. And now the police have just given her a first taste. - Hey, Deok-su did the thing that professional fighters always tell you to do if a fight breaks out: he ran. - Yeah, money doesn't bring you unlimited happiness but if you're in such deep shit, then money is very much necessary to not be completely miserable.

2023-09-27 12:26:53 +0000 UTCThis episode was probably what made me fall in love with the Korean way of making these dramas. The way, their lives, their hell was shown was so realistic, so plausible, I wouldn't doubt a few people in my vicinity going through similar shit. At the same time, it was so tragic, that it really touched me. This massive helplessness. It really has this "It could happen to you, too." feeling. It made me appreciate my parents that much more when they lost their business but fought through with smaller jobs until we got back on our feet and still helping me to go to uni.

2023-09-26 15:53:21 +0000 UTCthis episode brings context and background to the main characters of the series each represents a part of Korean society -Gi-hun the inveterate gambler who must take care of his dying mother - Sangwoo the businessman who knows the bankrout and has put everything he has at stake, including his mother's possessions -Sae-byok a North Korean who ran away with her little brother and is trying to bring her parents - the mafioso who has a contract on his head -Ali the immigrant exploited by a slave-owning and probably racist boss - and the old man who is also dying and who even lives a life of solitude I think this represents several archetypes of people found in South Korea

In this way the participants also know that if they win the organizers will really pay them the money.

It's a bit difficult now for the boss to hand Ali over to the cops, but Ali shouldn't have bitten the hand that fed him. Ok, I'll stop now. - I kinda forgot that there's quite a lot of great acting in this series. - The production is also very good. - Great episode. One that I forgot about a bit. It's basically all the backstories in 1 episode. That doesn't sound like it's the best thing to do (usually you get to know bits of backstory over the course of several episodes) but it hasn't bothered me at all.
