He’s supposed to be the antithesis of the protagonist. He witnessed the violence and horrors of the game and then agreed with its purpose for existence. Gi-hun saw it and only wants to dismantle it. Such a good foil.
I used to be a cast member in the UK for a holiday park and good god this is accurate - it doesn't matter how bad your day is going you make sure the kids never see you without the mask
That's something I noticed as well when I watched this episode. Also, if we calculate his fictional date of birth according to the year season 2 was released, that is 2024, then Gi-hun would have been celebrating his 50th birthday. Imagine he would have gotten on that plane. He would have probably celebrated his 50th birthday with his daughter.
even the sub said SangWoo's mum 😂 and few seconds later showing SaeByeok and mentioning the bro, not rocket science figuring out and still many reactors could not 😢😂
Circles are the lowest in the hierarchy because Circle is a non-threatening shape Triangles are enforcers, they carry guns and execute players Squares are the leaders or management
The episode begins in August. The invitation was for Halloween so time passes in the episode. The Mardi Gras was just an attraction. I think the theme park is Everland. Since they pick up No-eul in Songpa, MAYBE it’s Lotte World.
I wonder if Front-man's wife died while he was participating in the games (back when he won in 2016) just like Gi-Hun's mom died at some point during the 6 days or so that he wasn't there.
did anyone notice that when guard 011 passed Gi-hun on the stairs she gave him a look like don't i know you from somewhere? She may have recognized him from his game. she may have been a guard at that time too. the recruiter said he started as a circle and worked his way up. she could have done the same and been a guard before
omg i just realized that the scene where the kid comes into the changing room and they put their masks on again quickly mirrors the rules the guards have about never taking the mask off
20:10 so just a correction, Itaewon wasn't a stampede it was a crowd surge. Stampedes are when a large group of people move quickly, a crowd surge is when a large group of people are pressed together while moving towards something. There were so many people in Itaewon that there was almost no movement, it was such a massive compression of bodies that people stopped breathing. I do think they might have been referencing it. I don't know how its been in the last 2 years, but after the tragedy happened almost all buisness stopped in Itaewon, Halloween was it's main source of income and after a tragedy like that no one wanted to come anymore, so a lot of people's incomes were lost. Maybe squid game wanted to make a small tribute as well as bring attention to the parties, so that tourists might come more often.
Calvin is correct circles are the workers who don’t have weapons and clean up and cook. Then the triangles are the higher ups that shoot, and finally the squares who are the managers 15:04
Yeah, the Halloween tragedy in Itaewon was two years ago. This past Halloween our company decided not to allow costumes at work because it was still considered too soon. 😢
Good on Calvin for figuring out the twist with No-Eul but I kind of wish he held his thoughts back a few more moments so we got the more raw reaction for the others.
21:54 Pretty certain she self harm cos of the grief she has to deal with that she unintentionally abandon her baby? Like we know how infamous South Korean is with their concentration camp, would they be so low to send a baby there??? 23:15 Ya'll forget that small details (when the cop look at the records) that his half brother was the previous winner of the game that took place before season 1 start. One assume he went to the game to win to get money for his wife operation.
Football has not changed. Basketball has not changed. Baseball has not changed. Every sport is the same thing with a different line-up aka cast. (Except "The Floor is Lava", MXC, etc)
The lovely lady on Eric’s right is his wife, Janci. She’s been a great addition to the boys! Looking forward to seeing her in many more fun reactions 😊
I have a genuine question are they saying fat cats cause they can’t say the p word or is it like something they say as a slang over there not trying to assume or anything just wondering
By “over there” do you mean Korea or America? “Fat cats” is English slang, similar to “big wigs”, referring to people with substantial money and power. There is no version where saying “the P word” instead makes any sense.

@ImJustATaco why wouldn't they react to the rest? lol
Before being the Frontman, he joined the game and won...his brother/cop saw his file back in s1
Yup he won in 2015
He’s supposed to be the antithesis of the protagonist. He witnessed the violence and horrors of the game and then agreed with its purpose for existence. Gi-hun saw it and only wants to dismantle it. Such a good foil.
24:25 Eric: "I'd be real mad if I went through that with my tooth and it doesn't work"
well, here's the thing...
*Initiate dolly zoom*
Yall talking about the socket.?
8:21 I love that Sae-byeok's brother calls Sang-woo's mother Grandma 😭
i mean what else could he call her lol?
I used to be a cast member in the UK for a holiday park and good god this is accurate - it doesn't matter how bad your day is going you make sure the kids never see you without the mask
Front Man won the game in 2016 I believe, it was shown in Season 1. I think they need Season 1 recap.
2015 winner
@@felaolut yes, thanks for correcting.
Bro you seriously need a recap@@Calai_1214
can you blame them lol, they took 3 years for season 2
@@elizabethchester Also it was only shown in one scene. I'm not going to blame any reactor for forgetting 1 line that was read in subtitles
I love the difference from how other countries react to the guns is shock, but americans are always like 'fuck yeah, guns, I love it' lol
That little girl with the strawberry hat is sooo cute... And that ending scene, never would have thought she will be a guard in the game!
You need to word this better😂 I’m sure I’m not the only one who first thought you meant the little girl is a guard in the game
@@drewryanbower6848the little girl out here sniping people!
Something I noticed in rewatching these is that Halloween is Gi-hun’s birthday. Seems like an extra little dig from Frontman to start this then.
That's something I noticed as well when I watched this episode. Also, if we calculate his fictional date of birth according to the year season 2 was released, that is 2024, then Gi-hun would have been celebrating his 50th birthday. Imagine he would have gotten on that plane. He would have probably celebrated his 50th birthday with his daughter.
the name of the club, CLUB HDH, actually stood for the initials of the name of the sole writer/ sole director of Squid Game Hwang Dong Hyuk
That was Sangwoo's mom and Sae-byeok's brother. His mom is dead.
even the sub said SangWoo's mum 😂 and few seconds later showing SaeByeok and mentioning the bro, not rocket science figuring out and still many reactors could not 😢😂
Circles are the lowest in the hierarchy because Circle is a non-threatening shape
Triangles are enforcers, they carry guns and execute players
Squares are the leaders or management
Could be the more sides the higher up. Circle, one side, triangle, 3 sides, square 4 sides, Frontman mask, lots of planes and sides.
pretty much
The horse mask just teleports me straight to 2010 lmao
Were they big back then or something haha
It's been three years since Gi Hun won. The last episode of season one was set one year later.
So there have been at least 2 games since then, woahh
@@lorettabes4553 probably in the other countries as they’ve mentioned previously that there’s other hosts, it’s probably koreas turn again
Another "FUN" episode! Great reaction Wave Crew!
That ending tho'

She may have recognized him from his game. she may have been a guard at that time too. the recruiter said he started as a circle and worked his way up. she could have done the same and been a guard before
she definitely recognized him
Asuming you guys forgot, cause most people did-- understandably so, but October 31st is also Gi-hun's birthday.
And it was his 50th birthday as well, assuming we calculated his birthday according to the year season 2 was released.
@@JohnScerri-h3c Oh, yeah..!
omg i just realized that the scene where the kid comes into the changing room and they put their masks on again quickly mirrors the rules the guards have about never taking the mask off
Love seeing familiar faces from other Korean shows on Netflix.. kingdom being one. Like seeing British actors on hbo shows..
Janci: "I hate teeth stuff."
There's this episode of "The Americans" you should really see.
The dojo fight from the first episode of Blue Eye Ssmurai 😬
The hierarchy is how many sides. Circles have no side, triangle has 3, square has 4. And the front man’s mask has many sides
Maybe season 2.5/3 they intro another middle management layer with a star mask...

To help you guys yes the circles are the workers triangles are the soldiers and the squares are the leaders
circles are the lowest in rank
Calvin is correct circles are the workers who don’t have weapons and clean up and cook. Then the triangles are the higher ups that shoot, and finally the squares who are the managers 15:04
damn the Frontman's always a step ahead lol, you guys enjoying the season so far?
Yeah, the Halloween tragedy in Itaewon was two years ago. This past Halloween our company decided not to allow costumes at work because it was still considered too soon. 😢
Good on Calvin for figuring out the twist with No-Eul but I kind of wish he held his thoughts back a few more moments so we got the more raw reaction for the others.
I love you guys Korean show & k-pop reaction 🎉❤
cannot numb the tooth, requires another professional, need to pay him off too, hence easier to pay only the dentist. 😅
Can not wait for episode 3
Korean kid actors are just great, they never failed me ❤
Yo
watch wicked please
I never clicked so fast

I’ve been waiting so long for this! Who else?
You speak for everyone my friend lol
@@HoratioVelveteen-nl5kw😊
Blind Wave 4 Eva! 🫰🏼❤
Ricks gone cuter
21:54 Pretty certain she self harm cos of the grief she has to deal with that she unintentionally abandon her baby? Like we know how infamous South Korean is with their concentration camp, would they be so low to send a baby there???
23:15 Ya'll forget that small details (when the cop look at the records) that his half brother was the previous winner of the game that took place before season 1 start. One assume he went to the game to win to get money for his wife operation.
Wish Rick was watching.......
2:30 It's not supposed to be funny... ._.
Such a stupid choice for a mask!
👍
I love your reactions. But dang it, it is not plural. Squid GAME.
seong wick babyy
Good morning
Why do you guys write down notes like squid game is a school assignment to study up on lol
I think it's just to remember things they want to bring up during the discussion afterwards, and just general details to remember.
3 players and a guard
Football has not changed. Basketball has not changed. Baseball has not changed. Every sport is the same thing with a different line-up aka cast. (Except "The Floor is Lava", MXC, etc)
Whos the girl
The lovely lady on Eric’s right is his wife, Janci. She’s been a great addition to the boys! Looking forward to seeing her in many more fun reactions 😊
I have a genuine question are they saying fat cats cause they can’t say the p word or is it like something they say as a slang over there not trying to assume or anything just wondering
the p word? what's that?
Nah it's because they're referring to the VIPs
By “over there” do you mean Korea or America? “Fat cats” is English slang, similar to “big wigs”, referring to people with substantial money and power. There is no version where saying “the P word” instead makes any sense.
