Oldboy is an often forgotten (maybe on purpose for some LOL) Korean classic that would absolutely blow their minds. Memories of Murder is also amazing. By no coincidence is that main actor the same as the dad from Parasite.
Still hold the record as the most watched Netflix show. Achieved this with no promo and sheer word of mouth. I remember going into this completely blind, and it was a blast.
People underestimate South Korean movies and series, they are at the top for years and surpassed the dreck that Hollywood churned out the last 10 years (with some exceptions of course)
@@Lilithly incorrect. I will not watch a show in another language. I don't care. I'm not sitting down to read the words on my screen for an hour. I'm sitting down to watch the show. I will never watch anything but dubbed.
@@OneAndOnlyOmar I am watching a TV show not reading a book. I dont want to have to stare at the words to understand whats going on in context. if you like it good for you but I want to watch the show, not read the book. If I want to read the book, I will
i remember watching about 5 episodes with the Korean subs and then somehow i watched the next episode which was english dubbed and i didnt even pick it up until about halfway through. i only mentioned that becasue you guys picked it up immediatly when the front mask spoke. definatly preferred the korean version, can really feel their emotions and expressions more.
This is a show where I had NO interest, but everyone raved about it, so I begrudgingly gave it a shot… Ended up really liking it. It’s batsh!!t crazy & unexpectedly emotional.
The word you were looking for is vicarious. Living vicariously through someone else . This show is a mind bender but you will be hooked immediately and find yourself needing to watch it til the end. It is certainly a roller-coaster ride .
27:59 i love her the girl behind him, this is her first time acting and she did an amazing job, she’s actually a model. the dude in the subway playing with him with the envelope he’s from train to busan which y’all need to react to! it’s one of the best zombie movies, shit makes me cry. the other episodes give me anxiety. i can’t wait for the second season. we had to wait longer than y’all for season 2 to come out soon.
You guys are quite perceptive. Great reactions; I’ve seen many reactions to this series and you guys have to be one of the top reactors. Just subbed. Looking forward to more.
omggg do more Korean shows and movies plss they are mindblowing, i love Squid game but it's not even in my top10, there are some great shows, I recommend Death's game, Moving, The worst of evil and soo many more!
all the reaction video i see is, they always says dont move idiot, they should imagine if they are in those player position and can you make a poker face and stand still after seeing that
Love that you’re reacting to this. Such a surprise. I watched it to find out what the hype was about and since then I’ve been so into Korean films and shows. They’re so imaginative and I like the way they write villains you love to hate and make you get behind the main characters so much. Squid Game was my gateway. Alice in Borderland, All of Us Are Dead, and Train to Busan my all times faves. Never seen zombies until you’ve seen Korean zombies.
So the money might be a little confusing, but 10 U.S. dollars equates to around 14,000 South Korean dollars (WON) right now. So the 1.4 million payout in the beginning would be equal to about 1,000 dollars USD.
$1 USD = 1,476 WON. Not 14,000. The prize pool is $3,246,902.19 USD - 4.6 billion WON . Still not a lot at all, not worth getting killed over to be honest, but in this situation these people are desperate.
You two will enjoy this series I think. I subscribed so I can follow along your journey. I have seen this series before, and I can't wait to see you guys watch it. I think your reactions are great, and I like your accent. I sound like Cousin Vinny because I am from Brooklyn, New York USA LOL.
After you're done with Squid Games, I recommend the japanese show Alice in Borderland. Squid Game is similar (but not quite) to it. Great reaction and can't wait to see more.
You guys should check out Alice In Borderland. It's like squid game but more brutal. Its a 2 season Japanese show series. Hope you guys can react to it soon
it must be wild to watch this having first seen all the TH-camr IRL and in-game versions of this, not to mention Netflix doing their own IRL one. Never in the history of art has the point of a piece of art been missed by such a wide mark, in such a breathtakingly ignorant way.
Omg finally you are reacting to a Kdrama!!! Been recomending for 2 years now! You should definatelly check more Kdramas, they are amazing, very different experience and you will gain so many more subscribers (kdrama fans)! Thank you! If you like warriors and heroes there are so many Korean shows and movies that are at the top! I recomend Moving - my fav show ever!
In australian dollar the exchange of the south-corean Won is almost 1000 to 1, so 1000 won are about 1 AU dollar, 0,71 USD and 0,66 EU. So basically the main character made the slap game for 100 AU dollars, 71$ and/or 66€ each.
I just want to apologize for my long comment in advance. Haha. I hope you guys enjoy the first season of this drama. Season 2, i believe, will be coming out at the end of this month. :) While i consider squid game a wonderful k drama, i dont consider it within my personal top 15 best k dramas. There are actually a few k dramas that have come out before as well as after the monumental success of squid game that i think surpass it for me. If you guys want suggestions, here is my personal list of favorite k dramas and korean films that i recommend for anyone who enjoys korean media or who wish to get into more korean media. Film Recommendations: Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of War Oldboy (please watch the original korean version; there's an american remake which isnt very good) The Host Shiri My Sassy Girl (please watch the original korean version; there's an american remake which doesnt match the quality of the korean version) Train to Busan Parasite The Host Marathon The Extreme Job The Wailing The Witch Part 1: Subversion The Witch Part 2: The Other One Age of Shadows Hunt Ransomed Assassination Hansan: Rising Dragon The Admiral: Roaring Currents Noryang: Deadly Sea Burning The Call Ballerina Kill, Boksoon I Saw The Devil The Handmaiden Pilot Exhuma Love Reset Love and Leashes Space Sweepers The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil Kdrama Recommendations Signal The Glory Death's Game Alchemy of Souls seasons 1 and 2 (although it might end up being a patreon exclusive, i think other reactors had trouble uploading this drama to TH-cam) Moving Hospital Playlist seasons 1 and 2 Doctor Cha Tomorrow Bloodhounds Tales of the Nine-tailed and Tales of the Nine-tailed: 1938 Shop for Killers Our Beloved Summer Revenant Hotel Del Luna Queen of Tears Business Proposal Judge from Hell Juvenile Justice Sky Castle Extraordinary Attorney Woo I think i went a little overboard with the recommendations but these titles are some of my favorites in korean cinema and tv. :)
I hope you guys react to All Of Us Are Dead also after Squid Game also I hope you guys react to Fear Street now that you guys watching movie every saturday-sunday
Lmao this is gonna be a crazy journey... Prepare yourselves! This series was huge back then, best performing media on Netflix ever at the time (idk if the record still stands) and season 2 will finally be coming out next year I believe
Wait you guys didn’t watch squid games?!?🤯 You guys are gonna enjoy the ride season 2 should hopefully be just as good!! Spartan saying he’ll die cause he’s worried about you was sweet and very Spartan at the same time😂🤣If you guys end up liking this show I would highly suggest another hit Korean show “The Glory” that was another show that came out of no where for me and was AMAZING!!🔥🔥
Squid Game is bloody mega! I've watched it more times than is healthy 😂 Alice In Borderland is just as good and I've watched that a ton of times too. I'm going to be here watching this again with you two and i know its gonna be ace, can't wait. Much love to yous both from England ❤
I wanted to rewatch it before season 2 but I’d rather watch your reaction to it, this way I’ll remember everything and enjoy your reactions at the same time !
The first episode is not entirely indicative of the theme of the rest of the show. It's actually setting up expectations only to subvert them later. You should keep watching.
Haven't started the video thought I just have to state how much this channel has become such a regular for me. Scenes are allowed to breath. No phoney acting and reviewing everything as "ooo that's craazzzyyy". Opinions differ offering interesting discussion. Choices of releases are always amazing too. I actually think the little competitive nature is entertaining without it overwhelming the reaction. Thanks for being awesome Spartan and Pudgey :D
Thanks so much for this lovely comment! we are really glad you feel that way, and that our objective with this channel is being felt ❤️ We appreciate you!
Holy SH*T what even is this?! we NEED to see more!
Watch up to Episode 5 Reaction EARLY & UNCUT over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/spartanandpudgey
There are many amazing Korean shows keep an open mind be awesome to see you react to some Kdramas
You should watch chainsawman soon
Cant wait for your reaction on this show. Escapcially episode 6
Make sure you guys are using the english subtitles and not the english c.c. subtitles
This show really opened westerners eyes to Korean media, Train to Busan and Parasite are two fantastic Korean films i think you two would love!
Omg, Parasite was surreal, i hope they catch it - and Train to Busan was also amazing.
Oldboy is an often forgotten (maybe on purpose for some LOL) Korean classic that would absolutely blow their minds.
Memories of Murder is also amazing. By no coincidence is that main actor the same as the dad from Parasite.
Go back to 2006 and watch THE HOST.
Christ, I almost started crying again just seeing you mention Train to Busan! 😭
Train to Busan had been my favorite movie for a very long time! Its one of the best zombie movie out there. The premise is just chef kiss!! 😙
Still hold the record as the most watched Netflix show. Achieved this with no promo and sheer word of mouth. I remember going into this completely blind, and it was a blast.
Why would so many people watch it when there is no diversity? /s
Which is insane considering how popular Stranger Things was by season 4.
I thought One Piece had that title now.
People underestimate South Korean movies and series, they are at the top for years and surpassed the dreck that Hollywood churned out the last 10 years (with some exceptions of course)
Spartan most likely has tears again in this series. Pudgey will be borderline dehydrated.
I can think of quite a few scenes that will get them. Pudgey 💯😭
get the IV ready...
this show does everyone dirty lmfao
My relief every time reactors watch the subbed version 😮💨😌
sameeee
@@KatBee00 THIS 😮💨👍🏼
Righttt
The dub should be illegal XD
@@barjeeagreed. It’s so bad bro.. sucks all the emotion right out of the show
At it's core, Squid Game is social commentary! I can't wait for these reactions ❣
The Koreans are very good story tellers through their art. If you ever get time it's worth checking some out.
THANK YOU for watching with subtitles instead of the bad English dubbing, it’s so much better! You’re going to love this! ❤
It´s ok to admit you are sometimes wrong.
@@PROVOCATEURSK this isn't one of the times. It's always better without english dub.
@@Lilithly incorrect. I will not watch a show in another language. I don't care. I'm not sitting down to read the words on my screen for an hour. I'm sitting down to watch the show. I will never watch anything but dubbed.

FINALLY A SQUID GAME REACTION ! THANK YOU GUYS :)
I love Korean films and series.
You are my favorite TH-cam reactors
wow thank you! we appreciate that ❤️
One of My favorite TH-cam reactors are finally reacting to Squid Game 🫶🏻
You shoudl react to 1) "Parasite" (Oscar winner for Best Picture) and "Train to Busan" (generally regarded as one of the best zombie movies ever)
Amazing series, can’t wait for this journey! Actually joined your Patreon for this series
i remember watching about 5 episodes with the Korean subs and then somehow i watched the next episode which was english dubbed and i didnt even pick it up until about halfway through. i only mentioned that becasue you guys picked it up immediatly when the front mask spoke. definatly preferred the korean version, can really feel their emotions and expressions more.
Just like Anime, they just put so much emotion in the way they speak
PEAK after PEAK after PEAK with you guys! Legendary run of shows y’all have chosen!
Korean film-makers can make some real magic.....
But they don´t hire black actors.
@@PROVOCATEURSK Huh? How many black people live in Korea, let alone black actors??
@@PROVOCATEURSK some do for example Itaewon class one of my favs
Been waiting too long for this y'all r not ready ❤😂
It's a masterpiece
This is a show where I had NO interest, but everyone raved about it, so I begrudgingly gave it a shot… Ended up really liking it. It’s batsh!!t crazy & unexpectedly emotional.
I'm so glad I went into this show blind. Such an impactful pilot episode.
You guys have to start watching Korean shows! They're unreal, I'd recommend "The Glory" next.
The word you were looking for is vicarious. Living vicariously through someone else . This show is a mind bender but you will be hooked immediately and find yourself needing to watch it til the end. It is certainly a roller-coaster ride .
alice in borderland also very good series
This would be a hell of a show to see them react to.
27:59 i love her the girl behind him, this is her first time acting and she did an amazing job, she’s actually a model. the dude in the subway playing with him with the envelope he’s from train to busan which y’all need to react to! it’s one of the best zombie movies, shit makes me cry. the other episodes give me anxiety. i can’t wait for the second season. we had to wait longer than y’all for season 2 to come out soon.
You guys are quite perceptive. Great reactions; I’ve seen many reactions to this series and you guys have to be one of the top reactors. Just subbed. Looking forward to more.
omggg do more Korean shows and movies plss they are mindblowing, i love Squid game but it's not even in my top10, there are some great shows, I recommend Death's game, Moving, The worst of evil and soo many more!
GJ for watching subbed version
I'm surprised they didn't recognize the actor from Train to Busan.
Reacting before season 2 so it refresh my mind, perfect timing
Reacting in korean, perfect choice
YES
This series only gets better and more emotional. Netflix Classic.
didnt watched this series just because of its popularity before 😂 when i saw you guys planning to react to it, i watched it immediately haha
🙏🏼❤️ we hope you enjoyed it!
You’re only hurting yourself with that kind of mentality
@@ryanhauck70 yea seriously rofl. "This show is wildly popular so im not going to watch it" weird.
i did that for game of thrones for years, then finally watched it and was asking myself why i ever thought to do that
@@nukiesduke6868 Bro is a rebel apparently 😂
aghh if you do more Kdramas I'm definately joining your Patreon!!
Ohhhh boy is THIS a ride! Such a beautifully-done show. Colors, sets, casting, ALL amazing!
I'm so hyped to see you guys reacting to this one, its an absolutely wild ride start to finish
3:23 is my favorite part of the vid so far.
Some of the challenges they do in this series is brutal 😂😂 looking forward to this series 😂
all the reaction video i see is, they always says dont move idiot, they should imagine if they are in those player position and can you make a poker face and stand still after seeing that
Omg. I cannot wait to experience this incredible show with you guys.
You guys are in for a ride!
This show truly was a solid “one of a kind show” hope season two doesn’t disappoint

What is more traumatizing is this movie on Netflix “Beast of no Nation” for how real and raw it is
Yes.. can't wait for this. You guys gonna love it.
For a moment thought it was an older reaction. Once I realized when it had been uploaded - hell yeah!
If you guys like this show, you should definitely watch "Alice in Borderland". It's so good
I remember when Spartan said he'd give game of thrones a go to see what it's like lol
God I hope one day they watch Alice in Borderland. What a ride of questions, triumph and heartbreak that would be for em :L
Please watch Alice in Borderland too!
Non stop bangers from you lot
You guys should react to more kdrama
Yay! I'm so excited that y'all are doing Squid Game!!
Here weeee goooooo !!!!
Loved this series. Let the games begin.
it must be wild to watch this having first seen all the TH-camr IRL and in-game versions of this, not to mention Netflix doing their own IRL one. Never in the history of art has the point of a piece of art been missed by such a wide mark, in such a breathtakingly ignorant way.
Or, they didn't miss the point, but just capitalized on the popularity of the concept and made a non lethal version of it.
I love this show and can’t wait for season 2
Finally! Your in for a wild ride mate! Can't wait for your reaction to season 2!
Perfect timing as season 2 comes out in a couple weeks
Koreans Write some peak stuff, i think even the Departed was South Korean if not mistaken just elite🍿
You are mistaken. Quick Google search would confirm that. It’s a remake of the Hong Kong (Chinese) movie Infernal Affairs.
@@HoopleHeadUSA it's actually impressive what mental shortcuts the original commenter made to get there
Cool, another good series
Haven’t been here since Stranger Things! Happy for you guys to embark on this journey!!
I started with the dubbed version then changed to subbed. You have to read but it creates an emotional connection w/ the characters.
The relief knowing you’re watching this with subtitles 😅 the dubbed version is literally unwatchable
Oh Pudgey! Tears on the first episode? You're in for a ride
Omg finally you are reacting to a Kdrama!!! Been recomending for 2 years now! You should definatelly check more Kdramas, they are amazing, very different experience and you will gain so many more subscribers (kdrama fans)! Thank you!

Lmao this is gonna be a crazy journey... Prepare yourselves! This series was huge back then, best performing media on Netflix ever at the time (idk if the record still stands)
and season 2 will finally be coming out next year I believe
Nope, we don't have to wait till the next year. Season 2 begins this year, just 23 days from now...on Decemeber 26!!!
would love for you guys to compare it to Alice in Borderlands
Wait you guys didn’t watch squid games?!?🤯 You guys are gonna enjoy the ride season 2 should hopefully be just as good!! Spartan saying he’ll die cause he’s worried about you was sweet and very Spartan at the same time😂🤣If you guys end up liking this show I would highly suggest another hit Korean show “The Glory” that was another show that came out of no where for me and was AMAZING!!🔥🔥
Oh this is a wild show. ENjoy watching, it's incredible.
I lived in Korea for several years. An easy rule of thumb is 1,000 Korean Won is roughly equivalent to $1 US.
Oh this is gonna be a great reaction series.
For reference, 1000 korean won are worth about the same as 1 Australian dollar.
lol I can't believe you guys did Squid Games. Awesome!
I think I'm going to enjoy your reactions to this show.
Squid Game is bloody mega! I've watched it more times than is healthy 😂 Alice In Borderland is just as good and I've watched that a ton of times too. I'm going to be here watching this again with you two and i know its gonna be ace, can't wait. Much love to yous both from England ❤
Y’all are not ready for Squid Game. Be prepared for PTSD.
I think youll grow to like this one, its a classic setup
you should watch LA CASA DE PAPEL!! i would diee
yesssssssssss
I wanted to rewatch it before season 2 but I’d rather watch your reaction to it, this way I’ll remember everything and enjoy your reactions at the same time !
You guys should do Skeleton Crew, I think you'll both enjoy it.
The first episode is not entirely indicative of the theme of the rest of the show. It's actually setting up expectations only to subvert them later. You should keep watching.
There are things to notice and secrets to uncover by watching carefully, will be interesting to see if they catch any.
And So It Begins....
I am very curious if the many layers will be picked up on. The writing is on the level of Bong Jung Hoo's Parasite/Snowpiercer
You guys shoulf Watch Alice in Borderland after Squid games
One of My favorite reactors are finally reacting to Squid Game 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
