[Netflix Series] Squid Game

it’s cause of kpop no doubt. Nobody was watching k-dramas back then lol

 

Lmao man y’all got the rockets into it now

 

Yeah the songs are really cringe now. They even doing it in English and the views on YouTube still going up lol.

 

bro, every time my favorite Korean girl group Twice hits me with an English album I throw up in my mouth.. Twice covered a Jackson 5 song in English... It was so bad I almost ordered Rosetta Stone to learn Korean so I could write a letter to JYP.

Twice's new English song is alright though... they are getting better to be honest.. soon kpop is going to be the only music left... uh ohh.

 

So I finished season 1. Watched it with the original voice (subtitled). I ... loved it... lol. A+, bueno.

Spoiler

Kinda guessed the old man twist mid way. They dropped enough clues that I thought he was the mastermind. Still, thought his acting was good.

Rollercoaster ride for sure. Episode 6, the double pairs with the marbles. Jeeze lousie, caught the feels on what happened to Ali, and the two girls pairing. How the main character felt guilty, when he cheated the old man because of the dementia. And the old man faking dementia. Then the old man giving him his last marbel.

The violent action stuff I was fine with, but the emotional beats... think i'm becoming a softie, this show hit me in spots. Especially when they kill off characters the audience cared about.

LoL. Good arse TV.

 

Agree. If you watched this dubbed you are truly missing out on the real performance of the actors.

 

Korean TV really amps up the emotional stuff. They love it. If you browse the k-drama's on netflix it's mostly relationship stuff. Korean TV really loves to get you invested in something before they take it away.

 

I wonder
How does it compare to TelaNovellas?

I watched it, interesting hook - meh for me....

Really disliked the ending and the big plot twist, but still a very enjoyable watch

its aight/10

 

Jesus Christ that’s frightening. Guess I’m losing two eyes and a leg before diabetes if I ever reside there.

 

I suppose it's a weird thing to critique, but they could stand to do kiss scenes so much better. It's such a trope to have the person being kissed be completely surprised / have their eyes completely open, and for the kiss to basically be "put your lips on their lips and pause but don't press in," having that be the shot for like 10 seconds from different camera angles.

Zero passion, zero significance other than that they did it for the sake of including it in the show.

 

I did not like the very end

lmao! yeah. it's a cultural thing in Korea I assume. They are really weird with intimacy. A whole K-drama could culminate with holding hands and they would treat that like it's an earth shattering event.

 

I did not like it. 4/10. Maybe came in with too high an expectation.

 

what didn't you like? just curious.

 

I was getting food. Walked past a mail box with the symbols graffiti. Freaked me out a little.
