guys you need to change to subtitles, the caption have some errors in the meaning.
i hope u cant reaction korean drama by neflix KINGDOM season 1,2 😁
As you guys have done in the past, you clearly waited until today so the last episode hits on Patreon the day after all your $15 patrons have to sign up for another month.
May be smart business, but it's smart business in the same way lootboxes or pay2win mobile games are. Slimy.
Finally!
"Squid Game" is a Netflix production. Even in South Korea, the series is exclusive to Netflix.
The contract Gi-hun signed had nothing to do with the game- it was an agreement with his debtors that if he doesn’t pay them back he will give them his organs. It was referenced by the recruiter because it simply showed how desperate he was for money.
I agree with the discussion though, wouldn't that still be an illegal contract? Even if you sign an official agreement, it wouldn't be legally permissible to give up you kidney in exchange for debt.
Yes you are right ! Some people are confused about it, usually all the korean can understand it like what you explained tho… i dont know why but maybe it’s cuz of culture difference or problem of subtitles;;
I initially had the same misunderstanding, but i later put it together the recruiter was just referencing it as a "if you were desperate enough to trust them, then you can trust us too" kinda thing like you said. But yeah, even just a "if you dont pay back your debt then we can take your organs" contract wouldn't hold up in a legal court, but that wasn't the point, it holds up in the court of crooks/gangs, and that's what the debt collector guy was doing. Street thugs/gangs/crime syndicates work under their own rules/laws and it's in that world that Gi-Hun signed the organ contract.
@@VMYeahVN it was even more confusing because they never explained how the recruiter found out he signed his organs away. Leading people to assume they were working together or were the same group.
@who cares it would've been okay only a decade ago?!
That old man smiling during the first game gets me everytime😂
@@StormageddonTMS yeah👀
@@StormageddonTMS “Hell yeah” lol
@@Lisence2chill was looking for this lol
@Fitness shorts true
Time to abandon ship!
Having a gun is illegal in South Korea. So no Korean audience thought that the gun is a real one. Even the Korean police don't use guns in South Korea most of time.
Yikes. Mass shootings must be unfathomable to them, huh?
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln it is, but all the men has had 1 to 2 years of military training.
They love knives though
Yeah, it's funny with his comment, it not being USA is the reason why it's not crazy.
i was wondering why they would put a gun lighter as a prize. lol
Can we just appreciate the fact that their lights on the wall is literally a red light and green light 😂
Yoooo I didn't even realize!
I noticed that. They always change the lights so that it matches whatever show they're watching.
It's almost as if they're professional reactors
SO GLAD YOU'RE WATCHING IT IN KOREAN!! it's gonna be a wild ride i'm excited!!!
wait what... is there a dubbed version? thats so weird
edit: yall happy?
I mean it literally doesnt matter but aight, people get excited by different shite
They watched Train to Busan in Korean, I think live action series is undisputed that it should be watched in native language. For anime characters you can guess how the character wants to portray their emotion but for actors only they know how they want it to be. Someone on twitter showed a clip of the german dub of pulp fiction, Samuel L Jackson with a german dub just looked and sounded wrong.
@@ERider10 dubbed version* the dubbed version is in english but its terrible
@@ERider10 that's more graphic than the entire show
The girl pulled the trigger because guns in civilian hands are almost completely unheard of in South Korea. Even getting ahold of hunting rifles is extremely hard. So most would assume any gun is a toy before they think it’s actually a gun.
Also no gun safety.
I would also expect she could feel liquid sloshing around inside the gun.
as a Korean, thank you for watching this in subs. though I recommend watching with the regular English subs instead of the closed captions because the CC tends to be inaccurate with the translations
It kinda too late now because they are four weeks ahead.
@@MoonageDaydream. yes maybe, but they said they’ve already recorded 4eps of the series. Its 4 weeks ahead because Blindwave will be releasing one ep reaction per week
@@MoonageDaydream. They are already upto episode 5 on their patreon's highest tier
They are using the regular subs based on the discussion (front mans dialogue not being subbed) The editer is using CC for the reaction.
So the subs they are using are different than the ones we see in the reaction.
Yeah that's why I didn't watch the show, subs suck ass and dubs look weird af
As someone who's really gotten into watching Korean variety shows, the games in the show are super familiar to me. For the game in this episode, it's not actually "Red Light, Green Light." The translators call it such just to make it easier for us to understand. Literally translated, the game is a Korean playground game called "The Rose of Sharon has bloomed." The seeker has to speak the phrase "Moogunghwa ggotchi peeyuhtsumneeda" ("The Rose of Sharon has bloomed") and only once they've finished speaking the phrase can they turn around. So the idea of the game is for the runners to use the time the seeker is speaking the phrase to close the gap as quickly as they can.
Of course, the seeker will often slow down and speed up at random, to try and throw off the runners. Functionally, it's similar enough to Red Light, Green Light, but you could imagine being a non-Korean playing that game and getting gunned down because you expect one game and get something slightly different.
The translation of the game is "the hibiscus flower has bloomed". "Mugunghwa" is hibiscus in English, which is the national flower of Korea.
We play it the same way in India. A lot kids use a phrase and you have to stop as soon as it ends.
@@bebeh_gee It is more spefically a hibiscus syriacus, which is one of several plant species referred to as a "Rose of Sharon," at least in North America.
we play this in Brazil but the saying is french fries, 1, 2, 3. lol
This game exists in the Western world. In the US it's called Red Light/Green Light, that's why they used that name in the translation.
It always shocks me everytime I rewatch this episode and see how eager Gihun was to slap the recruiter, he completely forgot about the money he was playing for. That’s how he went through the whole series too, he never thought about the prize money, once the game was getting too heated he only cared about the other players. Such amazing writing from start to finish. I get the hype now
Yasssss I've been waiting!! Enjoy guys
ugh I love y‘all
i luv y’all reactions too 😫
@Stolen Content bro y u gotta spoil it for people Bitch
@Stolen Content jesus christ, what a loser
I don't know why, but I laughed so hard when Calvin saw Gong Yoo (Train to Busan Dad) and said "Hey, I know that mouth."
How I expected the name debate to go:
"It's Front Man."
"No, it's Front Desk."
"Guys, I'm pretty sure it's Petelgeuse."
You sure it isn't Shikamaru?
"I need to pay my mortgage early this month" - Quote of the year
I was hoping you guys watched this and was holding out on watching the series. Glad it payed off.
I only watched the first episode last night
It was a sign!
I watched it like last week because I was like "they're not gonna watch this." but look where we are now. Not mad though gives me a chance to rewatch it.
Omg same 🤣
@@brianford4914 One of the best shows ever to rewatch. So damn well written
What a trooper.. I binged the whole show almost on 1 sitting
I like how Calvin had the exact same reaction as me when Gong Yoo came into frame. “I know that mouth”. My brain went to Goblin instead of Train to Busan, but that’s just me. Looking forward to all of your reactions to this wild ride.
Ah a fellow Goblin fan! Still one of the best shows I ever watched.
@@katara2021 I consider it to be the pinnacle of Korean dramas. It hits everything they are known for. That OST is in my long playlist for eternity.
@@Ladmia Goblin and Crush Landing on You gotta be the best dramas out there
My mind just went “Gong Yoo???!” because I was so surprised to see him here
@@kdczt7820 they hid him real well.
They're so dedicated to reacting that they even take notes! I love that
Squid Game - A Chronicle of Squidward's Date Life
Seriously though, the acting in this series is topnotch!
Except for the english actors they were a bit iffy a few times
in korean she doesnt say "red/green light", she always sings the same song and at the end you have to stop.
Well, not really a song. It's just a phrase, it's: "The Rose of Sharon has bloomed." Rose of Sharon is a flower.
It's quite interesting to read the phrases said during this child's game throughout the world. In Austria we say "Ochs am Berg" (= "Ox on the mountain") or "Donner, Wetter, Blitz" (= "thunder, weather, lightning").
@@bachelorgoosy9145 it's actually "the hibiscus has bloomed." 무궁화 (Mugunghwa) translates to hibiscus.
@@bachelorgoosy9145 Yeah. In brazilian portuguese we say "batatinha frita, 1, 2, 3" ("french fries, 1, 2, 3") lol
@@bachelorgoosy9145 In Greece it's "Little statues, with no motion, no smile, no speak ... day or night?", same game with a small variation where the players answer "day" or "night" so the guard may turn when they are ready not to move.
@@OliviaN.Preston And it's the National flower of S.Korea
To make something clear, the voice wasn’t saying “Green light, red light” in Korean. That’s an English localization thing.
If this was in Spanish, they would probably be saying “1, 2, 3, pescado!” (“1, 2, 3, fish”). But for American audiences, “green light, red light” is the logical localization.
in portuguese was "batatinha-frita, 1, 2, 3" ("french fries, 1, 2, 3") xD
That korean means "A rose of Sharon blossoms", (Mugungwha = A rose of Sharon)
@@HappinessAndLuck or simplified, it's the hibiscus flower
Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Question. I understand the counting. But why would you say fish or whatever? Is the answer, as long as you're counting it is UNDERSTOOD you are in "greenlight mode" but once you say fish or whatever THAT means red-light/stop?
in french it's 1,2,3 soleil. (sun)
for purposes of the show, they made the game red light green light but in Korean they are actually saying "무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다" which translates to "the mugunghwa flower has bloomed" which is similar in that players move while the phrase is spoken and must be still before the speaker turns around
I really like your reaction to this, you guys have way more sympathy and empathy then my dad who blames all the all the people for getting shot with no remorse, thinks this situation would be easy and not moving during this situation is easy
make sure you guys are watching the “English” subtitles, not “English [cc]” cc are for the english dubbed so the translation is only accurate if you watch the other subtitles:)
thanks
I think they're watching the correct subs but the editor used the CC subs on the reaction without realizing
exactly.
It's so weird watching Americans react to that present because their first thought is it's an actual gun. Anywhere else is like, "oh a toy gun... she'll probably not like that".
Well the key hear is that it looks a hell of a lot like a real gun. Unlike other countries the U.S.A allows for a wide variety of firearms to be own by civilians. Especially handguns.
@@GameTavern2224 I love my country. Glad I am able to have the ability to defend myself.
@@flamefusion8963 me too
I mean, it make sense. It wouldn't be an interesting series if there weren't life-or-death stakes. Plus American movies/series similar to this show exist like Hunger Games.
In America toy guns need to have a plastic orange ring at the end to identify it’s a toy, not sure about the rest of the world. Also it REALLY looks real.
Possessing a gun is illegal in South Korea. Seeing your reaction at the gun this way is culturally interesting. XD We don’t usually get scared or intimidated seeing guns like this as ppl all know it shouldn’t be a real one.
they are more shocked by the fact that it was in a vending machine
@@jhman378 I was more confused why they made it look so much like a real gun.
@@GameTavern2224 You don't need to fear cops randomly killing you there.
@@riley8385 let's not go there
@@riley8385 nor in the US do I fear that because I don't commit any crimes.
in Korea, civilians aren't allowed to have guns so it being real would've been highly unlikely
"I know that mouth" is up there with the best out of context Blind Wave quotes
Love how everyone takes notes and ACTUALLY analyses the episode! Keep it up :)
It doesn't matter which way they ran, the robot did not start registering movement until it's head came to a full stop.
Gives you a little bit more confidence though, since you don't know exactly how it works you are better off not risking it if you're in the left so you HAVE to stop earlier. From the right you're definitely sure-r.
6:14 "I know that mouth." I had the exact same reaction, except my next line was "It's the Goblin!!!"
10:19 "they have numbers like the horses" IYKYK
Yeah
OMG YAY IT'S IN KOREAN! In the words if the great Bong Joonho : "Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films".. Looking forward to you guys getting into more foreign content in their own language and expanding your channel and point of view 🥳
Keep dreaming bub
Haha ye- no
199 is the homie, I love that guy.
“I need to pay my mortgage early this week” 😂
Thanks to the editor for including the English [CC] closed captions in the edited TH-cam version(s).
I think some people forget that there are viewers that are hearing impaired. [CC]'s take nothing away from the show and reaction.
Just to clarify, for those wondering, they're watching with the English subtitles (the accurate translation) not the [CC] subtitles; that's only in the TH-cam edit.
Some of the best acting I've ever seen is in this show. Also, proudly a Sae-byeok simp, she's incredible!
Lmao she really is.

This is one of my favorite Netflix shows that has come out in a while. You guys will love it!
Calvin's face change when the present was revealed was great. meanwhile Rick remains emotionless
Yesssss! I love that they’re reacting to an international show and I agree with the comments about Dark! It’s possible Netflix’s best show and I just know the guys would be into it!
YESSS! As soon as they announced it on twitter, i literally jumped of happiness! So excited for this
4:05 Nose bleed /blood soup scene: everyone panicking and Rick looking as if it were just hot ramen.
As a korean it kinda feels weird to see all these react youtubers that I used to watched, are reacting a Kdrama. But I'm glad everyone can see a new type of asian culture other than japanese anime(witch I do love.).
One of the few reaction channels where the majority don’t read the synopsis. This is
what sets you apart from the herd and makes you the best.

Ikr I am waiting for them to react to Dark
Yes pls
for some reason, I couldn't handle German , Korean was much easier on the ear , probably because I used to watch Anime , I know it has nothing to do with japanese , but Korean sounds cool to me
I hope 🥺🥺
i have never been more excited for y’all to start a series
finallyyy! this is such a great show. finished all episodes in one day and have been waiting for you guys to watch it!
oooh yes I think y'all are gonna really enjoy this show!
I am glad y'all are watching this show, it's a masterpiece! one of those must watch shows, it got so many emotions and the pacing, acting is amazing!
I think you guys accidentally watched it with the CC instead of the regular English subtitles. The CC uses the dub English whereas the regular subtitles have the proper translation from Korean
I think that was just an editing mistake
I'm from Germany but we also "sing" a little thing instead of just saying "red light green light". With all these reactions I was actually surprised that no American reactors were used to that😂 when I was a child we sang "Ochs' am Berg, dreh dich um" or "rotes Licht, grünes Licht, wer's nicht schafft verdient es nicht" (Bull on the hill, turn around/red light, green light, who doesn't make it doesn't deserve it), and you had to finish "singing" that before you were allowed to turn around. All the kids in our street would come together to play it so it was kinda nostalgic to see that huge amount of people play this game. Because that's what it felt like as a child.
Oh nice! So glad you guys are watching this. It’s such a gripping show!
The foreshadowing in this episode is on a whole other level
no it isn't
Hell yeah it is!!! The tiniest details seem so insignificant yet its so impactful in the whole picture!!
What foreshadowing

Been waiting for this!!!!
I had my criticisms of this show but most of it is really enjoyable, and the messaging is great too.
I'm so happy right now. Can't wait for your reactions
so glad my favorite nerds are watching this, always love your guys’ reactions
What?! A subbed reaction from the whole crew? Is this a dream?!
I think they've done it for movies before but, it for it being a show give me a world of happiness. Especially if they end up watching DARK.
If they're watching this show, I hope "Sweet Home" could be a reaction series in the future.
The Blindwave crew is starting Squid game yay!! I already finished it myself I can't wait to see them react to every episode
Finally got around to watching this show last night. can't wait to watch the reactions of future episodes!
oh boy you guys are in for quite an adventure with this one lol, one episode in particular is going to crush you and you'll know when that time comes
I'm super happy your schedule worked this one in, it's only 9 episodes after all, excited to hear what you guys think. I have yet to see the finale so I'll stay away from the comments but this is awesome.
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO REACT TO THIS!!
YES!! I AM SO GLAD YOURE REACTING TO THIS!!
I love their reactions !! and I will love them more if they react to this great series !!
I just binged the shit out of this show! Looking forward to your reaction!
I can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of the episodes!!!
I’m so glad that you guys are doing this.
hell yeah this is such a good show
Been waiting for you guys to jump on this! I've enjoyed other reactors checking it out but I know the discussions are gonna be extra good with you guys
Yes! Been waiting for your reaccs! Haha!
GUYS! FINALLY. I was thinking, Blind Wave should make reactions on this and you just did!
This show feels like a live action Hunter X Hunter
This is a Netflix production, they didn't just buy an existing show and bring it over. They produced this one.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! Considering how popular it’s become I was just waiting for your reaction!!!!!! AHHHHH I HAVE WATCH THE VID YET BUT IM SO EXCITED!!!!!
can't wait for you guys to discover more throughout the show..
I'm so glad you're watching it in Korean. So many things get lost in translation. So I hope if one day you watch Kingdom, you watch it in Korean as well. One can hope.
Kingdom is goated as fuck
unfortunately they’re watching with the English CC which are closed captions for the Dub, so they’re essentially reading the Dub’s script instead of the Korean translation for English subs.
edit: so, they were watching the regular sub, but in the post watch talk Calvin changes it to CC to see if he said Front Man, I hope he changed it back 🤞
@@bolster-nq6bq They're watching the regular subtitles on the Netflix. The footage used for the reaction only included the CC subtitles.
Kingdom...I wish that could come true
it just doesn’t work with the english voiceover because the voice acting doesn’t exhibit the same emotions and it looks weird when their lips still move to the korean words. i think most people wouldn’t like watching the translated version
I just got done watching the show about an hour ago so glad there watching it
Yaaaaaaassss you guys!!! I was hoping your reaction to this amazing show!!! Enjoy!!!
Oooo you guys are gonna love this one I can’t wait to see the rest of the show with y’all
