Well... as Gong Yoo's fangirl, just him talking to me might already make me go to Squid Game 😅 When he offers bread or lottery, I want to say "I chose you" 🤭
That little twist with the thumb and index (pointer) finger is made to symbolize the heart as it forms a shape of the heart; do it yourself- press your thumb against the index finger and the top half outlines into a heart shape ❤ It is pervasive in Korean culture.
@ I’m not sure it originate in Korea but I assumed because it’s utilized in K-culture but that doesn’t mean it originated in Korea, it’s just associated with Korean because of the media.
It is believed that the finger heart originated with Korean actress Kim Hye-soo in 2010. Then K-Pop idols popularized it around the globe. But there's a Finnish magazine supposedly showing a model flashing the finger heart back in the 1960s but it appears she's just holding her scarf in a similar fashion.
I respect the fact the recruiter is actually fair and sticks to the rules of any game he plays… he doesn’t get enough credit for that in my opinion!😂😂😂
I just finished binging the second season, was wondering who's reaction to watch first and this was the first video that popped up on my feed. I'm SO READY to go on this journey with you two. YESSSS
Great reaction! I was so floored by these episodes. I couldn’t believe that they managed to make this season different, but just as good if not better.
I started watching y'all through the harry potter reactions and i'm so excited to start squid games s2 with yall!!! Btw this "🫰" finger sign is just the korean way to do a heart, as opposed to the western heart gesture which usually is "🫶"
Just FYI, all male South Korean citizens goes through military service and all male AND female North Korean citizen goes through military service. Great reaction! Happy new year.
Im late but always here for it. To everyone dealing with these snow storms/cold, be safe. I heard critics think this Ep was the best of the series even calling it "Perfect" in every way, story, how it was shot, etc. Gi-hun is on a mission and the recruiter has lost it. Intense fame of roulette. Finally gets his invitation and here we go. Thanx so much, Peace
The girl has to have been a guard before. She didn't really react when she got the card. She quit her job. When she changed she knew to put on the jumpsuit and mask.
Hey y'all b day in 2 days happy new years Octobers love you low-key like family even tho I don't know y'all you guys are a whole vibe again congrats on the little one coming god bless 🎉
I think choosing the lottery ticket really shows the person's character. yeah if you think about it the bread doesn't last you long, but the potential gain of winning it is so much more it seems to be worth the odds, but I think people forget the part where after all that the salesman steps and destroys it but they all came trying to get it because they need food.So the bread is actually not as worthless as they think, it's in fact something that they really need right then and there and they probably don't calculate the odds of them failing and not getting anything at all into that consideration. it's the same with the season 2 which I think you've watched by now. They give them the option of splitting the money and go home, it's a lot more than they get just randomly playing on the subway station, but they still don't want to. It's like a sunk cost fallacy, they feel they already risk their life anyway, might as well go further. Similarly most of the homeless people think the bread probably is not worth that much considering their state, but when they fantasise about the win they forget about the truth of their current situation. I think unless youre at a state where you'd really rather die, like you have actually thought about it, then maybe the game is not really what you want. So I wouldn't say it's rigged, as much as marketing is rigged because it makes you want something more than other things.
Finally. I've been waiting for your reaction on S2 of Squid Game. I'm so happy. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2025! 🎉 Well, the Recruiter said that he used to work burning the bod!es, so it means he was a Circle Soldier then he level up to Triangle Soldier and end up become a Recruiter. The opening makes me hold my breath, Gong Yoo's acting as the Recruiter is so awesome. I agree that he got brainwashed because he has been working with them since young age.
Happy new years The Octobers love your reactions and it doesn’t bother me when you guys talk and also love the 2 episodes for one video I enjoy the longer videos have a blessed year 🎉
Love the show, love your reactions. And hey, you guys want to start watching some more great Korean movies? I know you have seen Train to Busan, but check out Oldboy (The Korean original, not the remake), Two Sisters, Parasite, I saw The Devil (a great cop thriller) and Lady Vengeance are just a few of my favorite movies!! I think you guys will enjoy them all!!! EDIT - Man, forgot one more of my favorites... Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is amazing and is the second in Chan Woo Park's Vengeance trilogy (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) I would honestly say out of those three, Lady Vengeance is probably the weaker of the three, but only because Sympathy for Mr and Oldboy are so good EDIT 2 - and sorry, but please don't forget Dr. Sleep ;)
31:42 😂😂 that reminded me off Captain America the first movie where that hydra dude k!lled the guy that gave cap the syrum n poisoned himself n said hail hydra before he died
49:20 why go the raves when I can party with you guys in my PJ'S at home and not pay a cover charge or overpay for drinks! That's why they're full of young people. Lol.😂 love you guys! Hope Mama Brooke is feeling OK.
@Berto2K respect to you. I've never been a club person due to my unrational fear of getting lost in a crowd. I'm visually impaired and the first time my now husband took me to a concert I was terrified, until the show started. Then I was mesmerized.
@carriesmith742 haha. The club i go to has a max capacity of 400 I think and I claim my spot in the front row early on. That way I don't have to be worried about getting completely squished from all sides or worry about moving around.
Ik this is random but it’s kinda crazy that it took me playing Roblox Squid games with sum of my homies to finally gave Squid games a watch after like 5 years came straight to y’all channel went to the Squid games playlist and here I Am I fw this show a lot kinda wished it was in English tho cuz I gotta constantly read the subtitles but now I actually gotta watch the show to know what’s really going on cuz i usually multitask n do other things while I’m watching something
I also think the host was front man’s dad. Host talked about his son in gganbu episode, front man was there to see host soon after he passed. Something switched in front man after he won the game and after his wife died. Hopefully we learn the why
Since I have watched the new season.. I’ve been getting Japanese ads.. only reason I know it’s Japanese is cause it has had apple japan in the corner.. but I only speak English so I don’t know what’s happening here
others also speculated Front Man is 001 son. But if that the case why would FM join the games ? and win one, would ask for his dad 001 to help out with his wife. Also doesn't need to borrow money from vendors, others assuming it was a bribe and losing his job.😅
Why would the boss and his friend end up in the game? They aren't broke. Why would the costume worker who is looking for her daughter get invited to the game? She isn't broke. Your critical thinking needs some work. Military propaganda? LOL wtf. I still go to raves and clubbing pretty much every week and I turn 45 this month. Gotta stay young.
What would it take for you to go to the Squid Game?
Well... as Gong Yoo's fangirl, just him talking to me might already make me go to Squid Game 😅
When he offers bread or lottery, I want to say "I chose you" 🤭
If I couldn't sell my.....wares👀 other than that, nah I'm good 😂 assets are always available before SG 😂
I might be tempted by North Korean Women!
@@astrophile1188real for this
Plot armor
The sign they do with their fingers is just a heart in Korea
That little twist with the thumb and index (pointer) finger is made to symbolize the heart as it forms a shape of the heart; do it yourself- press your thumb against the index finger and the top half outlines into a heart shape ❤
It is pervasive in Korean culture.
I thought it was an Asian thing in general, did it originate from Korean culture? They did it when I visited the Philippines as well.
@ I’m not sure it originate in Korea but I assumed because it’s utilized in K-culture but that doesn’t mean it originated in Korea, it’s just associated with Korean because of the media.
@@jmanpolo5611i think its just v popular in korea idk ab the origin

Can’t wait to see the “001” reaction. One of the best of the entire series
I respect the fact the recruiter is actually fair and sticks to the rules of any game he plays… he doesn’t get enough credit for that in my opinion!😂😂😂

39:19 that sign is a heart ♥️ if you put your two fingers together you can see a heart shape, means love you lol
😂😂😂 and they think for brain washing kids 😂 in love kinda being brainwashed 😂
🫰🏻finger heart
It also resembles the shape of an actual human heart if you look at the whole hand.
You're reactions for this season are going to be interesting to watch 👍❤
Great reaction! I was so floored by these episodes. I couldn’t believe that they managed to make this season different, but just as good if not better.
I been waiting for this, waaaahhhh Thanks Guys 🥰
wow what a first episode! Love the channel y'all
Welcome Back to Squid Game2. What a ride! Thank you so very much! 💜
Gong Yoo ruled the episode! 💀🗿👑
“Beer for my horses” 🤣 50:57
I started watching y'all through the harry potter reactions and i'm so excited to start squid games s2 with yall!!!

Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli! good song pick.
If that's a crazy twist, you're totally not ready for ep 3!
The acting is Unbelievable....
Just FYI, all male South Korean citizens goes through military service and all male AND female North Korean citizen goes through military service.
Great reaction! Happy new year.

Just finished this season last night, it was soooo good!
The girl has to have been a guard before. She didn't really react when she got the card. She quit her job. When she changed she knew to put on the jumpsuit and mask.
She doesnt look for her kid at the workplace 😂😂😂 daughter is in North Korea. She needed the job to earn money for the search. 😅
Second Amendment Gi-Hun! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey y'all b day in 2 days happy new years Octobers love you low-key like family even tho I don't know y'all you guys are a whole vibe again congrats on the little one coming god bless 🎉
Let’s get it October fam!! I’ve been looking forward to this 🔥🔥
Could you try watch all of us are dead! It’s about zombies and is a k-drama!

I was looking forward to your reaction to the twist at the end of the 2nd episode.
Happy New Year Octobers🎉🎉
31:42 😂😂 that reminded me off Captain America the first movie where that hydra dude k!lled the guy that gave cap the syrum n poisoned himself n said hail hydra before he died

I’m in my 30’s and still rave.. but you’re definitely right I’m not buying drinks in there or anything else for that matter.
@beetusg8853 30's is young to me. I'm going to be 48 this konth, lol.
I still rave and turn 45 in a couple weeks. I also go to a club usually once a week depending on the dj they bring in.
@Berto2K respect to you. I've never been a club person due to my unrational fear of getting lost in a crowd. I'm visually impaired and the first time my now husband took me to a concert I was terrified, until the show started. Then I was mesmerized.

The salesman carried this episode
FINGER HEART
yall know the "G" in Gi-Hun sounds like the martial arts gi that people wear? Not like G in gym lol. And hoon not hun 😅
I also think the host was front man’s dad. Host talked about his son in gganbu episode, front man was there to see host soon after he passed. Something switched in front man after he won the game and after his wife died. Hopefully we learn the why
Y’all gotta watch E.T. , Big Daddy, The Others 2001
Love your reactions I recommend „Alice in Borderland“ it‘s so good😍
Gi Hun is Korean John Wick
Are the walking dead reactions coming to TH-cam?
The rest of the bread should have gone to all the people who picked bread.
the hand symbol is a finger heart
Thanks to Tony and Brooke! 🦑 This season leaves one ahcin' for Season 3, that's for sure.
Since I have watched the new season.. I’ve been getting Japanese ads.. only reason I know it’s Japanese is cause it has had apple japan in the corner.. but I only speak English so I don’t know what’s happening here
You going to finish up S3 of The Boys?
He was the spawn of Satin

Te amo
Fiskaren är en goltupp.
hot coffee to the face worked for the guy, he is helpful now not just taking the money and do jack 😅

Why would the boss and his friend end up in the game? They aren't broke.
Why would the costume worker who is looking for her daughter get invited to the game? She isn't broke.
Your critical thinking needs some work.
Military propaganda? LOL wtf.
I still go to raves and clubbing pretty much every week and I turn 45 this month. Gotta stay young.
maybe bc she lived in her car? if i was broke that’s where id live
@TheOctobersReact she was loving in her car because she was spending all of her money with the guy trying to find her daughter in North Korea.
Ah yes, thank you for sharing your higher level of critical thinking skills. 😂
