Squid game
- Thread starter Leongsam
- Start date
Yes it gets better. First 2 episodes are very slow. They had to set up the characterization.
But from 3rd episode it got very interesting. My wife and I watched like episodes 3 ,4 and 5 one go. Quite gripping.
OK will persevere.
All K drama and k pop are shit
Watched that years ago.
My Name has its moments. But they made it too obvious from the start who the killer was. The selection of that actor as the chief of the narcotics team was wrong. That guy always act good guy.
This looks like some JAV coveror this TRICK series
what about “squirt game”?
Nice showor this TRICK series
Squid Game's appeal is actually not the so called games themselves, lots of Japanese and Korean dramas have had similar themes in the past. There are only so many ways you can play this sort of storyline.
I think it's appeal is really the ability to resonate with a lot of lower / middle class' predicament. If you minus the dramatic game elements, the characters you see and the desperation and helplessness they encounter are really just caricatures of what many people who have unsuccessful or mediocre lives will encounter.
My personal anecdotal observation is the more successful a person is (in financial and non-financial sense), the less likely they are impressed with Squid Game. They might still watch as it's not a bad show, but it's just a normal entertaining show to pass time. The really obsessed ones generally are not doing so well.
Just my personal observation, no offence intended.

I really loved the show and it resonated a lot with my wife and me.
I totally agree your points.
The way I see it is those people who are working hard and struggling buy lottery in the hopes they can win and no longer have to work so hard, sometimes wish they could die and no longer have to suffer (depressed or burnt out from work) will be able to much better relate to the characters.
You are right. Thats why comfortable retirees who dont have to worry about money no longer stressed about work and paying bills and supporting children will find the show boring.
