I see this video weren't much successful compared to Breaking Bad, but I really like this type content and I would like you to continue doing this type of videos.
Netflix kept blocking this upload so I had to trim down some of the unaltered footage, which kinda sucks but I don't think it ruined the quality of my video at all, hope you enjoy!
I was so mad that they let her die from the glass. They're the ones that set the glass to explode for no reason. It's foreseeable that a player would be hurt in such exploitation. If they're all about fairness and not influencing the outcome, then why wouldn't they fix a problem they created?
I never thought about the bridge explosion like that, but you're right it's very careless and could have killed all the remaining contestants, unfairly too! I do wish they had given her more of a back story before killing her off, she was super interesting but I guess she will forever remain a mystery now...
I haven't watched this yet but I just saw your Breaking Bad video. The fact that something with this high production value only has 370 views is astounding. I actually expected to scroll down and see ~400,000 after the first video haha! Keep it up :D
It's crazy because the BB video didn't have too many views until this past week it's shot up in the algorithm (TikTok has also shared it quite a bit) and suddenly I'm flooded with support from amazing comments and I couldn't be happier. So much more to come from me!
On your points about fairness and cheating- the director has said the entire show is commentary on capitalism pitting poor, desperate people against each other for the leisure of the rich, and how the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps, anyone can become a millionaire!” Philosophy is essentially a sugary lie. That’s why the organisers of the games don’t intervene when food is stolen, and even foster chaos and murder in the strobe scene; hanging the “cheaters” was entirely performative, the rich people and organisers purposefully tamper with the games for maximum entertainment value for the rich patrons. Very thorough, elaborate video!! Great work!! I thought it’d be the type of vid that has already amassed views in the mil, surprised to see it’s at 300k. Also loved the Mario sound effects gag in the Red Light Green Light segment
I cried so hard when he sees his mother, or when she said to him “I’m so tired.” My mother works hard every day and I do the best I can to help whenever I have time off from work. Never take things and people for granted.
Even though the English Dub isn’t that great, I’ll say that Greg Chun did a really good job at voicing Gi-Hun. It’s not his fault that the Dub does throw the same impact like the original Korean dialogue does. He’s more of a video game and anime voice actor than a live-action voice over. Fun fact: Greg Chun is also the voice of Takayuki Yagami from Judgement.
this video has the quality that I'd expect from any generic million+ subscriber, millions of veiws per video channel. I thought it was at 8m views on first glance. With the quality that's here, I think it's inevitable that you'll get there. Amazing videos man!
27:45 Its not really "cheating". The rule was to 'win' all the marbles from the other person. How the two win them is competely up to the pairs. The stealing from Ali would be more of a "rule break" than the lying to the old guy. Everything was allowed (except like killing the other one)
I can understand the confusion with the cop's brother, but in my watch I was under the impression that the file he found revealed that his brother was actually a previous winner of the games. I also agree that the VIPs were annoying as hell but I did like that they were portrayed as rich asshole idiots.
I can explain the lights The explaination is: When its dark your eyes adjust to the darkness and lets you see somewhat, with the flashing lights nobody can see beacause the light levels changes too fast for you eyes to adjust. Makes it fair.
33:34 At one point, he is snooping around in a document room, and discovered records of all previous squid games that had been hosted. Through that he found out that his brother won a previous Squid Games from the year he went missing, but doesn't explain why he was never seen again. It helps tie up why his brother never returned if he was the sole survivor from those games, he decided to become the game's next master, succeeding (who I assume to be) Il-Nam.
IMO the VIPs being stuck up and reiterating everything that happened was a good fit for the characters because of the fact they were so rich that they thought their reiteration of the events was superior to watching the original. but I do see your point at the same time
I actually feel like every one of sang woos actions are justified except for not telling gi hun about the honeycomb game. What did gi hun want him to do in the glass game, the glassmaker was just wasting time that they didnt have they all would have died if it wasnt for sang woo pushing him off
Totally justified, like I say in the video most people would go into these games with the belief they will be morally strong but most likely crumble in the face of death
I personally think the VIPs work, if you view them under the lens of crazy man-children with more money than sense. Of course they're not going to react to things in realistic ways; they've seen it all before. To them, the games are just that: games. Why shouldn't they be talked about as such?
I think a fantastic song instead of “fly me to the moon” would be “what a wonderful world.” You get a better juxtaposition from that. Downside is, it’s also used in Madagascar so that might remind people of that.
My friend, thank you for these summaries. After watching a bit of this, I decided to watch the tv series in full and in Korean with subtitles. You summed it up well!
Tbh I am normaly never laughing on yt Videos like also these try not to laugh stuff but I NEVER saw anything like this before the reference is just SOOOO GOOOD realy it got me ... Not crying but damn I had a good time on this video
I absolutely love the scene where he fumbles with the straw because from the behind the scenes that wasn’t scripted. You can even see the Sae-byeok try not to laugh.
i think the song was less meant to be ironic and rather it was meant to be relaxing to show the evil of the frontman as he sits back and relaxes to a song he likes as people die in front of him. this shows even more when he listens to the song to calm down after being shot by his brother.
Wait... I was binging your vids, cuz they damn amazing... And i jsut realized you are extremely underrated, i thought you had atleast hundreds of thousands of subscribers, i guess i get to watch you climb the ranks of youtube from pretty early on.
Thank you so much, I'm really humbled by the amazing support I've been getting lately, things are picking up since I hit 1k and I'm very excited to bring you all more.
@@Howesenberg i know this because you definitely deserve this, so do what you always do and don't feel too pressured to push too much into youtube, go onto your life as usual, but with a sense of pride in your work.
Great, unique series. Loved it! I watched the dubbed version for literally about 5 minutes, and then re-started it in Korean and it was SO much better. As you say, the acting and emotion is SO much better. Some great acting and characters. Lee Jung-jae is a great actor, playing a hero character is relatively easy. Playing a pathetic loser, who is ultimately an ordinary boring guy who you sympathise with, is much harder. Loved Crazy Lady and her revenge!
The whole part of his mom being dead reminded me of a sentence I heard once, "Some people are so poor, all they have in life is money'.. money aint worth shit if you have no one in your life.
Really love these videos! Saw the Breaking Bad one and looked for more. I bailed on BB, it got too sad and made me cry every damn episode so Hubs finished it and told me what happened, it I did watch all of Squid Games. I still looked for this and REALLY enjoyed it! Please make more ❤
I like your voice, your long form content, your humor and your opinions on things I like! You just got another Subscriber! Edit: Also, I'll take that Billion Dollars. Oink, oink, oink! Edit 2: Also, the guy who plays "Slap game guy" plays the lead in train to busan, the best zombie movie I have seen in a long time!
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's great to see. I had no idea he was the lead in that movie! I really liked Train to Busan I need to watch it again
I love this video and your channel. I adore your profile picture, honestly it was the thing that made me first subscribe but I continued whatching because I like the content
2 instances of music used right like Squid Game tried to is in the end of Stranger Things S3 E4 when Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" plays while it shows the people, "We'll Meet Again" was used to calm soldiers and let them accept their death in WW1. The other being in Madagascar when Alex goes Feral and leaves to live on his own away from his friends, while Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." plays.
12:40 I feel like it had less to do with what was happening to the contestants and more to do with the game master and to accentuate the sort of demented nature of the game with a nice, peaceful song (and maybe even to show that the game master loves the games)
Interesting point about the song Fly Me To The Moon. I immediately thought of the opening of Wall Street, which felt perfect for the show, which was a critique of capitalism.
I really wish they hadnt left the gaping plot hole of “he has debt but won’t touch his winnings” Like, A SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE along the lines of “you’ve paid back your child support, paid your mother’s rent years in advance, and made one moderately large cash withdrawal” (for the loan sharks) “but since then you haven’t touched your winnings” Like. That would have made sense and suggested he has gone through a CHARACTER ARC. He is now capable of saving money, living up to his responsibilities and practising discipline. But then at the last minute you do a vague twist suggestion that yeah he gonna blow this whole thing wide open
27:45 If i had to hazard a guess for the reason why Sang-Woo wasn't executed was because the whole point of this game was for the pairs to play games where either one puts all of his trust to the other, compete in their own game for superiority or use deception and trickery to win. Anyone can lie so it's pretty fair.
15:29 the show literally explains the answer to both those questions in the scenes. They’re blindfolded incase someone wakes up and they strip them because why wouldn’t they do a strip search? Especially for the returning players.

10:20 killed me so hard 😂
I understood that reference
Not as hard as it killed her.
@@brookegrvs 😂
might as well have been the real dub
Heheha
People who watch it in Korean: “this is so good”
People who watch it in English: “this show is so funny”
I see this video weren't much successful compared to Breaking Bad, but I really like this type content and I would like you to continue doing this type of videos.
Thank you, yes I have more full series reviews coming up, currently working on Malcolm in the Middle
@@Howesenberg take as long as you need
@@Howesenberg Saw your breaking bad vid now watching all of your videos, keep doing what you’re doing man the quality is amazing
@@Howesenberg please make stuff on classics like the wire and the sopranos.
@@Howesenberg oh they are coming here too, ill be stoked on the Malcolm in the Middle ep too :)
Netflix kept blocking this upload so I had to trim down some of the unaltered footage, which kinda sucks but I don't think it ruined the quality of my video at all, hope you enjoy!
Just a quick note, you named the last episode "Front Man" instead of "One Lucky Day". Great video though!
Is that why you didnt talk about the two girls in the pearl episode?
Dude this is SO AWSOME!
Can you do a Stranger Things? That would be TOP!
The file the cop found actually revealed that his brother was a previous winner of the games.
He was both the winner I wanna say 4 years prior and it is revealed his brother now is the boss (black mask man).
@@chrish.942 Omg wtf lol bbq spoilers!!!!!!!1!!!
Yeah no shit
@@jurmobile9747 the guy said he watched the show 3 times and somehow thought the brother had his organs harvested. Lol.

Dang first breaking bad and now this you are very underrated
Thanks Jake! I have many big projects in mind. I'll keep on going and if more people find me that would be an amazing feeling
28:37 The scene with the two girls had me choked up way more than this one did.

underrated channel in my opinion. keep making the great content :)
i like your style of breaking down a show/movie. you got a new SUB
Thank you very much!

You are a monster for making these "EVERY EPISODE" videos. Thank you for making them!

The last episode is called 'One Lucky Day' I accidentally copied and pasted the title from the previous episode.
I absolutely love the scene where he fumbles with the straw because from the behind the scenes that wasn’t scripted. You can even see the Sae-byeok try not to laugh.
I didn't realise that detail, that's great!
You deserve such a huge amount of subscribers! I genually love your videos :)
I remember when i first saw the daughter open the box and pull out a handgun, im like "damn nice"
Love the content. This style of summarizing a show in around a hour is awesome
i think the song was less meant to be ironic and rather it was meant to be relaxing to show the evil of the frontman as he sits back and relaxes to a song he likes as people die in front of him. this shows even more when he listens to the song to calm down after being shot by his brother.
Great show, great video, keep on doing whatever you do because its working, thank you!
And Netflix neglected to put fly me to the moon on evangelion’s ending, like it was in every other version of the show.
Another smashing video! Are you going to do better call saul after season 6 is released.?
I'm considering it, I've certainly had a lot of requests but I would need to watch it again and decide if I'm passionate enough about the show.

25:20 It shows that his brother won Squid Game in a previous year, not that they harvested organs from him
I actually died when gi hun picks the straw up off the floor and jams it back in the drink in the pilot
this video format go hard
What i like about VIPs is that they are supposed to be cringe worthy and shallow just like real snobs.
how does this not have more views????
this was amazing!
Thank you so much!
Great content this dude def deserves more views. Hope you keep growing.
keep this up, you will get big in no time
I can’t wait for you to cover season 2!
I'm going to wait until it's been out a while and people want to see it recapped, maybe I'll time it when they announce S3
The whole part of his mom being dead reminded me of a sentence I heard once, "Some people are so poor, all they have in life is money'.. money aint worth shit if you have no one in your life.
Watched this and breaking bad back to back lol. You're the best thanks man 👊
So randomly saw the breaking bad episode and then went on a 2 day binge on all your vids - cant wait for the future uploads 🙏

love your vids
29:16 it is scary knowing other people wouldn't sacrifice themselves for another person
i watch this with films ive already seen because of how funny you are
12:40 I feel like it had less to do with what was happening to the contestants and more to do with the game master and to accentuate the sort of demented nature of the game with a nice, peaceful song (and maybe even to show that the game master loves the games)
the breaking bad episode got me hooked on this channel and so far, I haven't been disappointed in the content, keep it up!
He just pulled up breaking bad out of nowhere 😂😂😂 11:37
You should make more of these!
Got more in the works as we speak 👍
The song that plays in Gganbu with the ending marbles scene genuinely makes me tear up each time I hear it
I think the choice of fly me to the moon was fantastic
They should fly you to the moon 🌝:o)
It's a decent cover and I actually love the song, just in this case I felt they could have used something more fitting
Thank you for the lovely video *Sir.*
I'm glad I'm not the only one that discussed the idea that "We are all Sang Woo." I think this plot point really hooked me as a viewer
It's easy to take the moral high ground when we have nothing at stake
13:26
“P-please… help me…”
“Shut the fuck up! GET’CH YO ASS BACK IN THE COFFIN!”
I think battlefield 1s trailer got that contrast of sad and fighting with “what a wonderful world” the contrast of that fighting was just amazing
I completely missed that some people were still alive in those boxes before the incinerator 🤣
Great video
that scene where the lady tko's the snake during glass bridge would have been so funny if it was the correct pane
Patiently waiting for season 2’s upload
8:05 I just realized that’s Yagami’s English voice actor from Judgment
37:32
thats what you hear when you start red dead redemption 2 right after Rockstar logo
Great channel i subbed ^^
Love this man, Your awesome!
you deserve more recognition
Love this video
I liked it when you did the mario voice lines
Good video
Interesting point about the song Fly Me To The Moon. I immediately thought of the opening of Wall Street, which felt perfect for the show, which was a critique of capitalism.
the ending streets of rage 2 song came from left field. Not disappointed at all.
One of my earliest memories of video games and it's stuck with me
“ they have a tendency to discribe everything”
Bangalore flashbacks
"Crazy biznatch" character is my second favorite character, behind the main character's friend
In the episode vip's, with the game you can im pretty sure just walk over the railling, it can hold all of the contestants
Yeah you're probably right. I'm sure they would have just shot them for trying to cheat
@@Howesenberg well.... your probaly right, but it whould have been cool if they had thought about it
in gganbu you didn't even mention sae byeok's moment, which is the REAL highlight of the episode
I really wish they hadnt left the gaping plot hole of “he has debt but won’t touch his winnings”
Like, A SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE along the lines of “you’ve paid back your child support, paid your mother’s rent years in advance, and made one moderately large cash withdrawal” (for the loan sharks) “but since then you haven’t touched your winnings”
Like. That would have made sense and suggested he has gone through a CHARACTER ARC. He is now capable of saving money, living up to his responsibilities and practising discipline.
But then at the last minute you do a vague twist suggestion that yeah he gonna blow this whole thing wide open
Big fan of this stuff, its exactly the kind of commentary I make after finishing a series.
very underrated, its criminal that you have very little subs... hopefully one day you will become the next pewdiepie
27:45 If i had to hazard a guess for the reason why Sang-Woo wasn't executed was because the whole point of this game was for the pairs to play games where either one puts all of his trust to the other, compete in their own game for superiority or use deception and trickery to win. Anyone can lie so it's pretty fair.
I witnessed a new subscription in this channel
15:29 the show literally explains the answer to both those questions in the scenes.
They’re blindfolded incase someone wakes up and they strip them because why wouldn’t they do a strip search? Especially for the returning players.
aw hell nah someone put this man on a list
LOL That whiplash scene!!!
4:30 someone did this to me in the 4th grade and it felt exactly like that
Man went through quite a journey and almost more mental abuse then a RE character
Bro keep making bangers videos
