I keep catching new things the more I rewatch this show. You raised an interesting point about Gi-Hun choosing to be considerate for the first time at the worst possible time. It made me realize how genius that moment was from a characterization standpoint. Similar to how he fed the cat. That act of kindness provides insight into his true nature. The fact that he makes awful decisions when he thinks about it, when he has time to give into his addiction, versus when he's running for his life and instinctively helps/apologizes for bowling someone over. I think that's what makes him such a redeemable character. His kind when he's operating on instinct. And he's kind even when no one is looking (feeding cat).
You were actually right. That is the same guy from the picture at the food stand. The main character was talking to his mom who’s the seller and she told our main character that her son was in America which we clearly see that he’s not in America he’s playing the games 😂 The main character’s name is Gi-Hun and the guy in the picture who’s his childhood friend name is Sang Woo
@@maverick456-33 you can but in south east asia and east asia, it takes a lot of paper work, permits and licenses to carry a single gun so it's not so typical for citizens to have one and when there's a real one, it's hard to identify if it's real or just a toy.
Tara, remember Gi Hun made that excuse as to why he didn't know his mom's birthday when trying to figure out the ATM PIN? He told his buddy he didn't know the date cause it changes every year. Koreans do use the Lunar calendar and the dates change every year. with the Lunar calendar. We don't usually use it for birthdays but the older Korean generation still do. We do use the Lunar calendar to celebrate New Year's and Korean "Thanksgiving" type holiday. Still a lame ass excuse but if you're aware of Korean culture, you would have gotten the reference/joke. You guys mentioned your birthdays so in 2022: If your bday is February 5th. your Lunar bday will be March 2, 2022. It'll be February 24 in the year 2023. If your bday is June 8th, your Lunar bday for 2022 will be July 10, 2022. It'll be July 25 for the year 2023. Take care & stay safe!
That’s actually really infesting and I 100% did not know that! Thanks for the info (: Do you think he was making an excuse or honestly just unsure of the correct date? -Tera
@@DougTera Girl, he was full of it. He's an addict. That's why the excuse was so damn funny for people with knowledge of Korean culture. To foreigners, that statement probably didn't register at all but for most Koreans, we got it. My Mom's bday is October 9th and when I called to ask her what she wanted for her bday, she informed me that this year it's on November 13th. Unless we look it up, we don't know the dates from the top of our heads. Yeah, 100% a pathetic excuse. It's not even practical cause the PIN would have to change every year. LOL
Gi-hun is the main character. Sang-woo is his childhood friend who is supposed to be on a business trip to the States and whose mother runs the food stand.
PS - lol and your adorable dog is looking right at the camera thinking, _'..There they go again....... who the HELL are they always talking to??' hahahahaha 😆 Oh you guys GOTTA do _Train to Busan_ . The Slap-Man is the main character in that movie. Anyone here will back me up when I say it's a film you'll never forget, hahaha.
Just knock 3 zeros off the amount , it's not exactly accurate but it's close enough to understand So 10,000 won is about 10 dollars Near enough for easy conversion
Hey you guys!! I finally watched this show myself, so now I can enjoy this reaction with you 😁. Honestly when I first watched this I thought the old man was a complete psicopath, he was having a blast playing the game while people all around him getting killed haha
Ok this is great. Love the 'regular folk-ness' of your gig. That's it, I'm in, before even watching the reaction. But ONLY if you promise to take a suggestion from us youtube watchers now and then, hehe. Ok - so now to sub up and get to the reaction. BTW - can't wait to see you take this journey.
Ah, so easy to criticize people for giving a poor performance in an unexpected game of life or death when you’re sitting in your comfy home recording a TH-cam reaction. :) also love the “Who’s on First”type argument y’all had at the end of the episode: “yesterday is today”, “no today is today” lol
I was curious about this show! So glad you guys are gonna do reactions for it! Alright, I'm not gonna watch past the intro here on TH-cam 'cause I wanna watch the entire show start to finish and without commercial breaks on Patreon with you guys. Viewers reading this--subscribe to their Patreon! You can join for less than you spend at one visit to Starbucks or McDonald's, and it's awesome!
The money conversion confused me a little but 1Million in South Korean is about $850, 4 million that he got from betting at the start is equal to $3450 and what he owes to the bank is about $215,000 (probably because his failed businesses and from taking loans). So this man might actually need to consider selling his kidney at this point😂
It's useless asking why run or why do they keep moving, it catches any twitch you do lol, and as for people running, they thought it was just a fun game until... well. When you get shot at, especially in big crowds, you run, simple as that
Those documents or signing contracts are of course illegal. I think they do it to threaten him, making him feel they are dead serious. Fried chicken is about 10,000 to 15,000won($10-15.00) and if you buy Kentucky Fried chicken or Popeyes combo then it would cost 9-15,000won($9-15.00). In this show they are eating tteobokgi in a tent which is a street food and that particular food is kids favorite and costs only about 5,000won($5.00). Thank you for your reactions. You guys are best!!! I want to sit down with you guys and watch it or whatever together!
Are you kidding me? In this country they would be thrilled. Hun enthusiast wouid asking them where they got it, how much they pay for it, what model is it, etc. Don’t forget, we have a love affair with guns in this country.
Hi Tera & Doug. Raymond here. Allright here we freaky GOOOOO!! Love this show so much. after this. Got another asian show for you. Called "Alice in Borderland" Greetings Raymond.
Hi, I just finished your fun reactions to Squid Game and wanted to recommend the Netflix series Ozark. It is also a very dark crime drama with roller-coaster twists and turns. I am watching it for the fifth time.
Hi Dr. LauraWil, Doug here. I watched Ozark and LOVED IT. Tera never could get passed season 1. We are taking a break from doing reactions. Time constraints due to work limits our ability to get together and edit. Happy you enjoyed Squid Game.
well, it takes me about 10 hours to edit each episode, and Netflix has a habit of hitting me with Copyright claims (which means I have to re-edit) - and with a regular job....I can only get out about one episode per week. :(
Stop already with your ''stop moving''. They were being slaughtered. Wouldn't you move? Wouldn't you try to run for your life? Would you have time to think about the rules of a game and think ''oh yeah they will stop shooting if I play nice''. Sorry but it was annoying to hear you shout this on and on.
Even though it looks like an American-style series of shooting and bombing, Korea puts something more realistic, philosophical and humanized in its works. You were right. You can't watch it with eyes plastered to the culture itself, or without empathy for reality. Most players would run away without thinking and that's the intelligence of the context here. The first game was impressive in these terms, the surprise, the horror for which there was no measurement.

yes, exactly
At 19:20 She eating Tteokbokki. Its rice cakes simmered in a spicy sauce, It's a super cheap street food similar to hot dog stand in America.
thank you !! I love background info.

In Asia, you cannot just carry or own a gun if you are not a police officer. So nobody would ever think that that is a real gun. 😊
❤❤❤
Sounds nice
@@maverick456-33 you can but in south east asia and east asia, it takes a lot of paper work, permits and licenses to carry a single gun so it's not so typical for citizens to have one and when there's a real one, it's hard to identify if it's real or just a toy.
I love your father daughter relationship 😥 happy you're doing this show!
Thank you
yay kid is the same
Take a shot every time they say, “holy shit”

Hell Yeah! You two are gonna love this show! It’s a rollercoaster for sure!
Thanks, it’s certainly great so far
@@DougTera when are you going to upload the next video?
Did you watch the whole season?
so glad y'all are doing this series :)
Thank you
Subbed! Looking forward to the next episode.
The dog in the background at 47:39 scratching to the beat 🤣
LMAO that freeze frame tho @ 25:47 [Sorry I'll shut up now, hahahaha]
No, you were right. It is the same guy you saw in the picture at the food stand. He's lying to his mother about his success.
Just knock 3 zeros off the amount , it's not exactly accurate but it's close enough to understand
So 10,000 won is about 10 dollars
Near enough for easy conversion
Love your dad daughter relationship... missing my dad already . He would sure enjoy squid game too
Man you are so awesome, I wish you did some movie reactions also, not only shows.
"you are dead" is most commonly used term in Korea. regardless of the age.
Why is everybody so bad at this? 🥴 Maybe cause they have to watch folks get killed next to them & potentially die if they fuck up
The discussion about Japan is cute. Haha
Hey you guys!! I finally watched this show myself, so now I can enjoy this reaction with you 😁. Honestly when I first watched this I thought the old man was a complete psicopath, he was having a blast playing the game while people all around him getting killed haha
so good to see you again. Glad you're here.
Great reaction. I like your reaction. Father and daughter?! It’s cool!!
Thank you.
Came for squid game, liked for your chemistry, subscribed for the GSD ❤️
"Good morning Vietnam" comes from the old movie , said by Robin Williams , a radio talk host for the US soldiers during Vietnam war.
And it was a great movie and I think it was a true story
Alright, I’m in. If Doug and Tera are going to react, I gotta watch! 👍🏼👍🏼
Yay !!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the security scanners can look through the mask and gloves.
LOL this was fun to watch
Can't wait to watch the rest of your reaction vids for this series 👍
The dog got a very good reaction LOL
lol
you guys got amazing energy
Thank you
Ok this is great. Love the 'regular folk-ness' of your gig. That's it, I'm in, before even watching the reaction. But ONLY if you promise to take a suggestion from us youtube watchers now and then, hehe. Ok - so now to sub up and get to the reaction. BTW - can't wait to see you take this journey.

17:14 You can not in S.Korea. Disclaimer of physical right is officially illegal in S.Korea. It is just for series, for fun to watch.

First time watching a D&T video. Doug, I dig your style, man. Very Dude-esque. Cheers!
thanks - I try. Hope you stick around.
@@DougTera Loved the episode 1 reaction and subscribed!

정말 감사합니다. 그러한 피드백에 정말 감사드립니다.
thank you. Thank you so much for such feedback.
I love your reaction, lol. Don't try reading comments, cuz there can be spoilers!
Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. Darth Vader is Luke's father. Ash is a robot. Soylent green is made from people. To serve man is a cookbook.

@@DougTera Dumbledore dies…
@@KenjaTimu Hahaha! Nice references to the twists of some classic movies and TV, particularly the twilight zone one from over 60 years ago.
@@1funkyflyguy haha, thanks. I figured it was ok to spoil a 60 year old tv episode :) I wanted to say 'The Good Place' one but that is too recent.
Hi Doug.. Ray here..
June 8 is my birthday too😁😁😁
no way !!!!!!!!!! That's so cool.
To get an approximate translation of won to usd, you just remove 3 zeroes from the won. It's not quite accurate but it gives you an idea.
thanks, that makes it easy.
Hello Doug and Tera, had missed watching your reactions. 😊✌
Breaking Brad.... I really need to see that show🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’d make an appointment for therapy now while you can🤣
Perfect response to that statement Doug. 44:28
Thank you
That’s my birthday too shoutout to your father 😂💯
It's useless asking why run or why do they keep moving, it catches any twitch you do lol, and as for people running, they thought it was just a fun game until... well. When you get shot at, especially in big crowds, you run, simple as that
there are so many little islands around south korea, as close as a ferry trip away
you're about to go for a ride
100,000 won which he got slapped for, would convert to $84.62 . by todays standards exchange rate.
왜59:59초인가했넹 ㅎㅎㅎ외국인 리엑션 한달동안 여러팀봤는데
담배피면서하는팀은 처음보넹 한국가수 노래 리액션도 수십편봐도 한번도없엇는대
대단한 여성분이시당^^
I don't know why it's 59:59 - it just is. And yes, we smoke so we include it in our reactions because - why not ? And Thank you.
Love it. Just be who you are!!!
100k Korean Wan is roughly $82 usd
Those documents or signing contracts are of course illegal. I think they do it to threaten him, making him feel they are dead serious.

Hi Tera & Doug. Raymond here.
Allright here we freaky GOOOOO!! Love this show so much.

"Alice in Borderland"
Greetings

Hey Raymond - glad you're here.
Hi, I just finished your fun reactions to Squid Game and wanted to recommend the Netflix series Ozark. It is also a very dark crime drama with roller-coaster twists and turns. I am watching it for the fifth time.

Daddy !!! Love ur reaction!!!
Best intro ever. 😂
thank you - we try
i enjoyed watching it ........where is episode 2 ????
well, it takes me about 10 hours to edit each episode, and Netflix has a habit of hitting me with Copyright claims (which means I have to re-edit) - and with a regular job....I can only get out about one episode per week. :(
but, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it.
@@DougTera yes......thankyou...i got it...
The symbols on the guys in red masks remind me of the ones on the buttons of a Playstation controller.
yes
Pretty sure the driver slipped on his gas mask over other mask when the guy got in the van.
Duck is so cool!
57:05 Who are the main characters?
1. Old man
2. The girl
3. The main character xD
and the guy with tattoo - lol
When are we gonna see the next ep?
Hopefully (if I can finish editing and Netflix doesn't give me too many copyright claims (which make me have to re-edit it) - Day after tomorrow.
@@DougTera great 🌟🌟🌟 I really liked your reaction to the first episode 🔥
When will you react to the other episode
as soon as I can get it edited. (and the dog/Spirit was just itching :)
The dogggg❤❤❤
You really have no idea what you have let yourself in for. It will shred your emotions to bits.
I've been warned by many.
Doug let her go on trip for a month!
A month I could deal with. She has my blessings. :)
Japan is an amazing place to live
You don't have to be American to speak English :P
good point
Anything like this would absolutely have Americans involved, though lol
I drink tequila and watch reactions.
You can't live in Japan permanently. They will only renew your visa a couple times. Unless you used to play guitar for Megadeth.
I did not know that.
there are a lot of foreign Japan vloggers that have been living there for a long time now
Good review! Next you should review Alice in Borderland after you finish his series. Don’t watch trailer just react to it cold-turkey!,
I can appreciate wanting to stop him from beating on the girl... but equal rights, equal. Yes, I'm a (trigger warning) dirty feminist.
Don't know your siblings' birthdate?! 😂
well, I do have a BIG family, and I was the youngest.
Just curious is that dude her boyfriend? Bit old maybe because, i think that he is like 60 or something?
I'm her dad, she's my daughter - we explain that in the beginning of the intro.
Best father daughter duo on TH-cam! Plus Spirit of course.💞
Still like the game???
not that version.
