There has to be! But the director has no plan‘s on season 2 for now but apparently if he make second season it will be about the frontman. Maybe how he became the frontman. PS: The cop has to be alive still!
@@qbuw That one is a bit of a stretch. If that whole thing was planned out and it would only stop if the old man commanded them too, how do they guarantee that the players don't shank him in the first minute or so? I think the Front Man just decided to end it since the old man pretty much actually did get everyone to stop and so the fighting was done by then. When the guards busted in there was no more chaos.
@@yahirmh8423 I'd say he simply climbed up. He moves pretty spry for someone his age, and if the people were mostly in one side of the room (Deok-Su's crew was attacking Gi-Hun and the others), it's possible he just sneaked by and no one spotted him. Then just climbed up slowly and carefully. The fighting did go one for some time, he probably only needed like 20-30 seconds to get to the top. I seriously doubt anyone helped him up there. He just did it himself.
We don't know if there going to be a season 2 due to something in Korea over this or whatever? but there is a slim chance season 2 is about Oh ll Nam backstory.... maybe... maybe... but time will tell give it about a few years
One lucky day is the title of a Korean novel about a poor guy who rides for a living. on one day when he feels quite lucky because he get a lot of customers and makes a lot if money, but he finds his wife is dead at the end of the day after work. On the morning of the day she , who has long been sick, asks him to bring some food but he scolds her saying he has no money for the food. The novel ends when the guy cries over his wife's dead body, saying to himself sarcastically "What a lucky day!" This title is homage to the novel.
The ending is amazing, it shows that the main character is exactly the same as the old man, He bet on another humans life without ever stopping to think that the man will freeze to death if he lost.
From someone who's been hopping around watching Squid Game reactions and just found out about this channel a couple days ago, I loved seeing your reactions throughout the series! The first season of Squid Game from beginning to end is a wild ride and a half - hoping a second season isn't too far off!
if you watch again you will notice that the old man was always safe, in the first game the doll didn't identify him on the sensor, in the second game he could just wait for everyone to leave. in the third game he wasn't actually handcuffed. when the participants started killing each other in the dorm the old man looks desperate but he had already climbed to a safe place and when he asked to turn on the lights the man in the black mask obeyed immediately. and you didn't realize that there was only one elderly person in the game and he was the number 001 which indicated that either he was a former player or he was an insider (I hope you understand what I said, English is not my first language)
I appreciate that you guys accepted that the old man played all of us. Some reactors I've seen are so mad because they can't accept that so they resort to saying the twist made no sense even though the clues are practically screaming in front of us. They felt entitled for the emotional investment they had for the old man and felt they got cheated, well Gi-hun felt cheated too. I cried for Il-nam, too. But after the reveal I was like "Well played, show!"
The fact that he leaves Cheol with Sang-woo's mom....giving her a new son to raise...kills me every time I see that scene. Season 2 is coming and I am here for it! I'm ready for Gi-hun and Jun-ho to team up! I hope to get some more time with Front Man/In-ho and hopefully learn more about why he chose to stay with the games. I'd also really love to see more of the salesman. I also wanted to say, I love your reaction style. I liked how you'd stop occasionally to discuss things and even go back to study something more closely.
Gi-hun decided to spend the money cause when he saw the old man, he didn't feel responsible anymore for his death cause he was alive. The old man was the only death he felt directly responsible
just found y’all when y’all started doing the squid game reactions, then i binged watched all of your avatar videos 😄 i’m glad y’all will be watching The legend of Korea too 😎
"One luck day" is a title of a Korean novel about a poor rickshaw man during the Japanese occupation over Korea, and the title of the episode came from that novel. I first thought of writing the entire story here, but I think it will be better if you read it by yourself. It is a good and a depressing story.
The last ending explaination: When Ji hoon called the Squid Game he just wanted to let them know that he is not a horse and they said go on the plane (if your wondering he is going to bring his daughter back) its for your own good but ji hoon got off the plane to stop the game and thats in season 2. Fun Facts: *At ep 1 when the guy that slapped ji hoon recruiting players he gave two cards if ji hoon picked the red one he would have been a soldier if he choose blue he will be a player. * You guys probably know the detective the brother of the front men so when the front men shot his brother you can see that he shot him in the shoulder instead of head so that he doesn't die and could comeback to stop the game and give him another try if ur wondering why didnt the frontmen leave his brother on the island and give him another chance well he needed to shoot him or else there was soldiers behind him he made them show that their is no realtion in the Squid Game if u need to kill ur close ones then do it. So he shot him in the shoulder. There is a chance he is in season 2 and he will also try to stop the game with Ji hoon. And thats it hope you get your answers and confusion if there is anyomre confusion just reply me! 😉
I wish there would be a season 2! But I read an article saying that the director has no plans for a season 2 yet cause he apparently wrote, directed and produced the whole show by himself. He said in order for him to even consider season 2, he would really need help on it. I really hope in the future there would be though!
Remember Gi hun swore on his mother and his mother end up dead. He promised that he will get his daughter a present and meet her on her next birthday. If he doesn't show up, probably he would end dead as well.
Hint remember b4 the marble game . Where you had to pair up the old man was ok behind by himself ..because he knew that the one who got left behind would go to the next round (like the annoyong lady)
Every episode you guys showed sympathy for the old man I was saying to my screen “oh just you wait, you like him now…” 😂😂😂also apparently the old man wasn’t locked in, in the tug of war game
Now you guys have to react to the Korean film, “Train to Busan” and “Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds.” Highly recommend it. Both great films. People have already started reacting to it already after Squid Game.
Even in the last game against il nam, if that one passerby had not helped, the beggar would have died and il nam would have won the game. Through that game, gi-hun must have felt that someone had to do it, and he must have made up his mind. He doesn't want to agree that il nam is right, so he has to win and can't run away. The game has been running since 1988 because nobody stopped it. You never know when it will end and think of how many people have died during that time. 455 people died in every game for 33 years. 15,000 people have died so far
You guys should do a reaction to all the Easter eggs in this season. There’s a lot. Like how you noticed the old man wasn’t in the registration book. How it started off with 002 and not 001.
Knowing that number 001 was behind all this really makes his choice to end the game really interesting. He kinda really did try and give these people the chance to back out
This was the final squid game,game 7. the elevator only had the seventh floor, il nam had the clock there which was zoomed in on as a timer, people believe the water had something to make up nam die at exactly 12(eliminated)
During red light-green light everyone is highlighted green by the machine EXCEPT the old man, dead giveaway. Also when the detective snuck into the records room he opened the cover to a roster list, the FIRST PAGE was player number 2?!?!? player number 1 was missing from the book! lol also number 1's house replica was the only one labeled with the games insignia, even his name was sketchy- oh Il Nam means "First Man" in english. so many subtle hints.
Heres a theory of mine. I think the police dude's brother is actually like gi hun. Hes only being the front man because he wants to collect intel and actually want to stop the game for good. And later on gi hun would replace him and will become the next front man also to investigate the VIPs
The Oldman used the recruitment card to summon him. I think its a dead giveaway that the Oldman atleast some control of the games with the fact that he used that card.
Funny thing old man didn't believe in humanity, but he didn't understand the he survived only because main character help him. In the end, won those who helped each other.
Player 001 (old man) They couldn't risk his life in the games , because after The marbles games the Bridge Game came and that's a big big risk as you could see!! Hyped for season 2 and about the Red🔴 hair you can search it up why he did for a special reason
....Except he did risk his life. All the vids suggesting he was cheating in the red light green light game and the tug of war are nonsense. He never moved on red light ever and anyone saying he was always safe is purely speculation. Same with tug of war. People say he didn't have locks on at the end but it's hard to tell. But people think his plan must have been... fight for his life up until the very last second and then magically unlock his locks and let go with no room for error.... and then fucking immediately get knocked off by the people behind him because he wasn't in the back. What kind of stupid plan is that?
I highly recommend you guys to watch the Korean Drama titled "Goblin". The mc is the guy who invited these people in the subway, and I guarantee you, you guys would love the drama so much.
@@steatlthyfolf in red light green light the robot girl always skipped him. And with pull the rope he wasn't strapped to the rope. These are some examples I saw online.
@@steatlthyfolf in the red light, green light Game, the old man both knew the song and timing the robot was following to prepare to stop at the right time, plus he didn’t show up on its targeting (or anyone in his immediate vicinity). That’s just the first thing… also you notice the other players are roughly the same age yet this old man was picked?
In the second game, honestly the triangle and the star are the easiest shapes. Mostly straight lines. More the star because even though there’s more lines, they’re shorter. Have to watch slowly again, but I think the old guy purposely stalled. Then when 456 did his strategy he could play along.
For *plot twist* of old man 001, Oh Il-nam -- It seems like the purpose was for the *narrative* of rich people doing crazy stuff for the sake of being bored and before dying, to show the cruelty of humanity. So this is shown with the exploitation done by the old man for the squid games and forming a connection to Gi-han, while keeping his true intentions hidden. Though, the old man reached out to Gi-han a year later since he did value his actual connection with him to some degree, for the old man to feel something after a long time. We are also shown the compassion of humanity at the end with the person helping the homeless man. So the *cruelty* of humanity vs the *compassion* of humanity theme.
If you guys are interested in checking out more k dramas, heres my list: Kingdom (zombie apocalypse set in medieval korea) Sweet Home (korean monster drama) Signal (crime thriller drama with timey wimey stuff, one of my personal favorites) The Fiery Priest (another one of my personal favorites) Vincenzo (a surprise favorite for me) Mr. Sunshine (set during the early 1900s in korea, one of the actors in this drama was also in squid game)
I just finished the show today as well I hope there’s a season 2 I hope my boy goes all John wicks on those mfs next season I hope he gets the people justice
@Doppelganger D Lmao he literally said showed he was going back to the game when they asked for his Name and date of birth if he wants to participate and he willingly gave it. Plus he doesn't even know where the island is
@@joseoku6946 the person talking to him on the phone wasn’t gonna let him play the game. Why would he say all that stuff after he said his name if he just wanted to play. They said “don’t get any absurd ideas. Get on that plane”. He said his name a birthday so that they knew who they were talking to. Come on dude use your brain. He’s gonna try to stop them. It wouldn’t be that hard to figure out where the island is/infiltrate. The detective did it
He had a water bottle when he wet himself while the others didn’t and that was probly to tell front man he was done, it was after marble, before the jump
You can literally see the old man's head after the gunshot, right after the head of the pink guard as Gi Hun went forward. Theory is even tey are father and son. And dude, it is Ggambu.
actually Oh Il-nam was not in danger the whole games, if you rewatch it u can see at first game the doll wasn't scanning him right, at the rope game his hands wasn't locked to the rope like the others, at the duo game he was supposed to be the only one left alone without a partner to pass the game instead of that girl, but yeah they can still fake shot him off camera. When the investigator got to the files room and checked the record for current game you can see first page was record of player No.2 since they don't need a record for "their boss". In the last scene seems he went back to join the game for a second time but not for the money this time but to end this for good so looks like his daughter will have to wait for months or another year sadly.
They're making a bet on another human life... He's showing him just how easy it is, showing him that he's capable of doing to others what he just had done to him
Korean dramas have always been the best and are very popular among Asian countries, glad it is finally making its popularity internationally, like what anime is doing
You guys forgot about the detail you picked up on episode 5 about the old man 001 not being in the records of current game cuz ofc the host wouldn't include himself in the records lol
The last scene with the old man is something you probably missed the meaning of, you need to really think about it. The game was that if anybody helped the dying man in the streets in a time-frame of 30 minutes, Gi-hun would win, if not, the old man would. Gi-hun had all the time in the world to help the dying man, but was so pre-occupied teaching the old man a lesson and beating him in the game, that he stayed, waiting for the man to die. It was entertainment for him, watching someone else die just so Gi-hun could beat the old man in this game. Which shows that Gi-hun is no different than the people who created the Squid Games.
i mean the old guy never said he could leave to go help him or cant. didnt really specify that. but i think gi-hun took it as he had to wait for SOMEONE else to help the drunk person not himself.
@@EasyWinking That's the entire point, he never thought about actually doing a good deed with the endless amount of money he now has, but instead decides to just sit there and wait for someone to help him, as if the game is more on his mind than just helping a dying man.
Well I think exactly opposite. Gi-hun showed that he is different. He didn't spend money at all after winning the games and that made the old man call him. Gi-hun wants to stop this from happening to anyone else because at the end of the day nobody wanted to die during the games despite having awful life. They all thought they could win and that's why most of the came back to the games but he knows that there is only 1 winner. He is willing to put everything aside, even his daughter in order to save people's lives, that's why he is coming back at the end of episode 9. He even wanted to cancel final game to everyone's surprise because he values human life more then money. Old man died believing that humans can't be trusted, he didn't see that Gi-hun actually won and that there are truly good people. He went from cheerful and broke to crazy rich and miserable because he lost people who he considered his friends. He's that very person that old man thought doesn't exist and that's why he is coming back for the people behind squid games. He dyed his hair red and that symbolized his change of approach to life, he wanted to forget about everything and move on but after seeing that guy on the train station he went back to his old self. Episode 9 definitely cemented Gi-hun as my favourite character, that's at least how I see it. Sorry for my english
The game is going on sice 80s so it probably makes sense their are more than 1 owners of that game. That old man was probably the sponsor for that year alone
what if the brother was always a vip, and he just happened in 2015 to play the game, and didn't back out but saw it all the way through. Which is why he's the game master bc he lived thru the games and knows how "fair/equal" the participants need to have it/be.
you should watch squid game easter eggs and foreshadows. You missed lots of thing that you will surprise . For example, if you look carefully at first game.. The baby doll marked green light for (didn't move people) and marked red light For moving people. But 001 old guy didn't be marked any time.. He was not red or green. He was out of marking.. Also if you look carefully that police guy's searching the player's lists, you will notice that players number are starting 002 and finishing 459.. Because 001 was not a player.. Also if you look carefully at wall of the dorm, you will realize that every game is actually on the wall.. Players didn't realize that .. etc. :)) There are 20+ easter eggs like that you'll surprise..
The creator has said that although the ending is kind of open-ended he intended it as a moment of closure for the series, with Gi-hun turning back meaning to symbolize that you "should not be dragged along by the competitive flow of society, but that you should start thinking about who has created the whole system-and whether there is some potential for you to turn back and face it." He also said he's getting pressure for a season 2 though making season 1 was a long process for him but if he does go with a season 2 he has three potential stories since he purposely left some things unanswered - 1) Continuing what will happen to Gi-hun, 2) The backstory for The Front Man/In-ho and how he got to that point, and 3) The backstory of The Recruiter.
The fact that Gi-hun went straight to conclusion that the old man was behind it all was like wtf. They should have him asked how he was alive from the start?
The invitation he got to go to the building is literally the same one they use for the calling card given by one of the event organizers. He just put two and two together when he saw the old man alive.
I mean of course Gi-hun is going to say the old man is behind everything. He sent him a card meant specifically for him. Only the people involved in the game use those cards. Second that fact that he isn't dead already proves too high up to be killed. It's not far fetched for Gi-hun to come to that conclusion.
Looks like there will have a season2 in these two years in the future There’s a detail in the old man scene, he told gi no body will help the man in the street and want to gamble with him But in fact gi can just simply go downstairs and help that man (old man said “nobody”, and asked would gi help him when he mentioned the homeless man at the beginning), but gi didn’t At that point, gi is no different from those rich people, he stand behind the glass and bet on people’s life
What an amazing show! Hopefully we get a season 2 real soon for this series.
You guys should watch Vincenzo it’s really good
Hell yea

There has to be! But the director has no plan‘s on season 2 for now but apparently if he make second season it will be about the frontman. Maybe how he became the frontman.

Fun Facts:
*At ep 1 when the guy that slapped ji hoon recruiting players he gave two cards if ji hoon picked the red one he would have been a soldier if he choose blue he will be a player.
* You guys probably know the detective the brother of the front men so when the front men shot his brother you can see that he shot him in the shoulder instead of head so that he doesn't die and could comeback to stop the game and give him another try if ur wondering why didnt the frontmen leave his brother on the island and give him another chance well he needed to shoot him or else there was soldiers behind him he made them show that their is no realtion in the Squid Game if u need to kill ur close ones then do it.

I like this change of channel❤️✊🏻
The Oldman used the recruitment card to summon him. I think its a dead giveaway that the Oldman atleast some control of the games with the fact that he used that card.
I know right 😂
I wonder how they didn't notice that
“nweaboo?! from your nweaboo?!”
Funny thing old man didn't believe in humanity, but he didn't understand the he survived only because main character help him. In the end, won those who helped each other.
Player 001 (old man) They couldn't risk his life in the games , because after The marbles games the Bridge Game came and that's a big big risk as you could see!! Hyped for season 2 and about the Red🔴 hair you can search it up why he did for a special reason
....Except he did risk his life. All the vids suggesting he was cheating in the red light green light game and the tug of war are nonsense. He never moved on red light ever and anyone saying he was always safe is purely speculation. Same with tug of war. People say he didn't have locks on at the end but it's hard to tell. But people think his plan must have been... fight for his life up until the very last second and then magically unlock his locks and let go with no room for error.... and then fucking immediately get knocked off by the people behind him because he wasn't in the back. What kind of stupid plan is that?
I highly recommend you guys to watch the Korean Drama titled "Goblin". The mc is the guy who invited these people in the subway, and I guarantee you, you guys would love the drama so much.
There was actually a lot of clues during the show that indicated the old man was never really in actual danger during the games
What clues?
@@steatlthyfolf in red light green light the robot girl always skipped him. And with pull the rope he wasn't strapped to the rope. These are some examples I saw online.
@@steatlthyfolf in the red light, green light Game, the old man both knew the song and timing the robot was following to prepare to stop at the right time, plus he didn’t show up on its targeting (or anyone in his immediate vicinity). That’s just the first thing… also you notice the other players are roughly the same age yet this old man was picked?
@@steatlthyfolf also for the tug of war if u look closely he was the only one that wasnt locked to the chains
In the second game, honestly the triangle and the star are the easiest shapes. Mostly straight lines. More the star because even though there’s more lines, they’re shorter. Have to watch slowly again, but I think the old guy purposely stalled. Then when 456 did his strategy he could play along.
For *plot twist* of old man 001, Oh Il-nam -- It seems like the purpose was for the *narrative* of rich people doing crazy stuff for the sake of being bored and before dying, to show the cruelty of humanity. So this is shown with the exploitation done by the old man for the squid games and forming a connection to Gi-han, while keeping his true intentions hidden.
Though, the old man reached out to Gi-han a year later since he did value his actual connection with him to some degree, for the old man to feel something after a long time. We are also shown the compassion of humanity at the end with the person helping the homeless man.
So the *cruelty* of humanity vs the *compassion* of humanity theme.
I'm glad I didn't cry for that old man. I cried more for Jiyeoung and Ali. 😅😅
If you guys are interested in checking out more k dramas, heres my list:
Kingdom (zombie apocalypse set in medieval korea)
Sweet Home (korean monster drama)
Signal (crime thriller drama with timey wimey stuff, one of my personal favorites)
The Fiery Priest (another one of my personal favorites)
Vincenzo (a surprise favorite for me)
Mr. Sunshine (set during the early 1900s in korea, one of the actors in this drama was also in squid game)
I was waiting for Drama like Squid game ever since I
watched " No country for old man "
I just finished the show today as well I hope there’s a season 2 I hope my boy goes all John wicks on those mfs next season I hope he gets the people justice
Do you realize that all those people returned after they left earlier? It's all on them
Great reaction!
Reactors be like : The frontman is his brother!! i knew it!!
Also reactors : From your gganbu? WHAT??
There is a twist within a twist 😂
Gi-Hun may not be a fighter, but he was shredded when he was younger..
It definitely feels like he'd go back in the game to find answers
@Doppelganger D Lmao he literally said showed he was going back to the game when they asked for his Name and date of birth if he wants to participate and he willingly gave it. Plus he doesn't even know where the island is
@@joseoku6946 the person talking to him on the phone wasn’t gonna let him play the game. Why would he say all that stuff after he said his name if he just wanted to play. They said “don’t get any absurd ideas. Get on that plane”. He said his name a birthday so that they knew who they were talking to. Come on dude use your brain. He’s gonna try to stop them. It wouldn’t be that hard to figure out where the island is/infiltrate. The detective did it
@@KJA70 No you use your brain and see this is how typical main characters behave
I didnt trust than old man from the start episode four i was certain, when episode 6 started i only shed tears for the female character that passed
He had a water bottle when he wet himself while the others didn’t and that was probly to tell front man he was done, it was after marble, before the jump
lets go been waiting for this
You can literally see the old man's head after the gunshot, right after the head of the pink guard as Gi Hun went forward. Theory is even tey are father and son. And dude, it is Ggambu.
Looking forward to s2 if they do decide to make one
What’s messed up was all the games they were going to play was painted on the room they slept in and they never noticed!
actually Oh Il-nam was not in danger the whole games, if you rewatch it u can see at first game the doll wasn't scanning him right, at the rope game his hands wasn't locked to the rope like the others, at the duo game he was supposed to be the only one left alone without a partner to pass the game instead of that girl, but yeah they can still fake shot him off camera. When the investigator got to the files room and checked the record for current game you can see first page was record of player No.2 since they don't need a record for "their boss". In the last scene seems he went back to join the game for a second time but not for the money this time but to end this for good so looks like his daughter will have to wait for months or another year sadly.
They're making a bet on another human life... He's showing him just how easy it is, showing him that he's capable of doing to others what he just had done to him
Crazy ending to the last game bro dang 😮💨 that was cold from sang woo oh gosh
Korean dramas have always been the best and are very popular among Asian countries, glad it is finally making its popularity internationally, like what anime is doing
Bro I cried over this old man!!! 😂😂😂
It WAS these kids at the beginning of the series. Sang woo and Gi hun.
The guy who helped the homeless men made me cry
Go to the marbles episode after the gunshot they go over the place he “died” and his body isnt their and he left
You guys forgot about the detail you picked up on episode 5 about the old man 001 not being in the records of current game cuz ofc the host wouldn't include himself in the records lol
The last scene with the old man is something you probably missed the meaning of, you need to really think about it. The game was that if anybody helped the dying man in the streets in a time-frame of 30 minutes, Gi-hun would win, if not, the old man would. Gi-hun had all the time in the world to help the dying man, but was so pre-occupied teaching the old man a lesson and beating him in the game, that he stayed, waiting for the man to die. It was entertainment for him, watching someone else die just so Gi-hun could beat the old man in this game. Which shows that Gi-hun is no different than the people who created the Squid Games.
i mean the old guy never said he could leave to go help him or cant. didnt really specify that. but i think gi-hun took it as he had to wait for SOMEONE else to help the drunk person not himself.
@@EasyWinking Fr if he knew he was allowed to step out and help he would’ve done it in a heartbeat
@@EasyWinking That's the entire point, he never thought about actually doing a good deed with the endless amount of money he now has, but instead decides to just sit there and wait for someone to help him, as if the game is more on his mind than just helping a dying man.
Well I think exactly opposite. Gi-hun showed that he is different. He didn't spend money at all after winning the games and that made the old man call him. Gi-hun wants to stop this from happening to anyone else because at the end of the day nobody wanted to die during the games despite having awful life. They all thought they could win and that's why most of the came back to the games but he knows that there is only 1 winner. He is willing to put everything aside, even his daughter in order to save people's lives, that's why he is coming back at the end of episode 9. He even wanted to cancel final game to everyone's surprise because he values human life more then money. Old man died believing that humans can't be trusted, he didn't see that Gi-hun actually won and that there are truly good people. He went from cheerful and broke to crazy rich and miserable because he lost people who he considered his friends. He's that very person that old man thought doesn't exist and that's why he is coming back for the people behind squid games. He dyed his hair red and that symbolized his change of approach to life, he wanted to forget about everything and move on but after seeing that guy on the train station he went back to his old self. Episode 9 definitely cemented Gi-hun as my favourite character, that's at least how I see it. Sorry for my english
@@genos7886 very well said! I thats extacly how i felt watching it as well. Have a great day!
The game is going on sice 80s so it probably makes sense their are more than 1 owners of that game. That old man was probably the sponsor for that year alone
“this man all bald now too?” cmon bru 😭😭😭
what if the brother was always a vip, and he just happened in 2015 to play the game, and didn't back out but saw it all the way through. Which is why he's the game master bc he lived thru the games and knows how "fair/equal" the participants need to have it/be.
Not sure if you both have watched it but the show “You” is incredibly good. Just released its 3rd season. Would love to see a reaction to it.
Vincenzo, youth of may, crash landing on you are some goat kdramas
I can def see the cop running into Gi-Hun and questioning him about what happened/potentially teaming up 👀🤔😯
So the writer of the show was saying that the 2nd season is gonna be a prequel about the front man
They're gonna explore the story behind the front man in s2
How cheer fully Mel says “oh the scum bags “ 😂🤣🤣🤣
I think gi-hun will join squid Game group like the police officer did to collect information about them
you should watch squid game easter eggs and foreshadows. You missed lots of thing that you will surprise .
For example, if you look carefully at first game.. The baby doll marked green light for (didn't move people)
and marked red light For moving people. But 001 old guy didn't be marked any time.. He was not red or green. He was out of marking..
Also if you look carefully that police guy's searching the player's lists, you will notice that players number are starting 002 and finishing 459.. Because 001 was not a player..
Also if you look carefully at wall of the dorm, you will realize that every game is actually on the wall.. Players didn't realize that .. etc. :)) There are 20+ easter eggs like that you'll surprise..
Gi-hun Red hair is a Symbol for Revenge.
The creator has said that although the ending is kind of open-ended he intended it as a moment of closure for the series, with Gi-hun turning back meaning to symbolize that you "should not be dragged along by the competitive flow of society, but that you should start thinking about who has created the whole system-and whether there is some potential for you to turn back and face it." He also said he's getting pressure for a season 2 though making season 1 was a long process for him but if he does go with a season 2 he has three potential stories since he purposely left some things unanswered - 1) Continuing what will happen to Gi-hun, 2) The backstory for The Front Man/In-ho and how he got to that point, and 3) The backstory of The Recruiter.
The fact that Gi-hun went straight to conclusion that the old man was behind it all was like wtf. They should have him asked how he was alive from the start?
The invitation he got to go to the building is literally the same one they use for the calling card given by one of the event organizers. He just put two and two together when he saw the old man alive.
This is a dumb comment
Give him his tears back 😂
I mean of course Gi-hun is going to say the old man is behind everything. He sent him a card meant specifically for him. Only the people involved in the game use those cards. Second that fact that he isn't dead already proves too high up to be killed. It's not far fetched for Gi-hun to come to that conclusion.
There’s also hints throughout the show that Gi-Hun was never really at the same risk of dying everyone was
When there are no rules, there is no playing dirty.
Looks like there will have a season2 in these two years in the future
There’s a detail in the old man scene, he told gi no body will help the man in the street and want to gamble with him
But in fact gi can just simply go downstairs and help that man (old man said “nobody”, and asked would gi help him when he mentioned the homeless man at the beginning), but gi didn’t
At that point, gi is no different from those rich people, he stand behind the glass and bet on people’s life
great stuff!
I was gonna say- bruh you cried over this guy 🤣
