One correction with the woman being given the card 'without playing any games', while this is played to mislead us that she's a player we find out from 'Officer' that runs the organ smuggling ring that shes been a guard for many years going back year after year to serve as a soldier in the games, and the longer serving soldiers seem to know each other quite well.
There was scene where the coffine popped open and it was dropped down and faked burned, does that mean someone maybe survived or someone else is also in the inside?
@@jaradpillay6980 In the previous season one of the incinerators had a secret drop into another room below where the organ harvesters worked, the group have reformed their operation and are still using it behind the Headman's back.
I understand that Gi-Hun didn't know what the Front Man looked like behind the mask... but he needs to stop putting his trust in anyone who wears 001. 😂
I think you're wrong about the FrontMan... he went in the games with the intention of seeing exactly what Gi-Hun was up to and to then sabotage his plan; I don't think he went in the games because of any crisis of conscience or because he's on the fence morally. However, I do believe that in season 3 he may be swayed by his brother.
I don't think it was to sabotage his plan because if that was it he wouldn't have gone along with it for as long as he did, I think the Frontman was trying to crush Gi-huns spirit by killing his best friend in front of him.
I think he was trying to poke holes in gi-huns morality. Gi-huns original motive is to prevent as much death as possible but ultimately is willing to sacrifice people for his own objective, something the front man smirks at
@@Grufflebum and by proving to him that the games will never end because the people want the games. They need the games. Until poor people can stop looking at each other as the enemy or “other” and start working together society will never change. Society and the rich keep convincing, poor people that other poor people are the reason they are not succeeding.
@@Grufflebum he agreed to sacrifice a few people for the greater good which to him meant killing some of his soldiers for the plan… Gihun had a good plan and had even better back up outside with the soldiers and the detective…. They had under estimated him and the only thing that gave them an upper hand was the mole (fisherman) they planted on him and his team this is why front man decided to join so he could know what else gihun had up his sleeve and ofcourse to poke holes in his morality and also try to justify the games!
I don't think so for now because he did a good job blending in with a rest but now that he isn't anymore he can put one and two together and think about who 001 really was
No matter how this ends, Gi han sacrificed the lives of others for his plan. This brought a smirk to 001 because the games are similarly designed that way. I believe this will be brought up when they have their face to face encounter.
100%! It was a definitive twist in his character and a total 180 from where he started in season 1. I can't wait to see how he'll react to that realisation.
@@minimouette yeah that was 001s plan all along. That’s why he kept asking him all of those questions on his plan to question his mindset and maybe get him to think in a different perspective.. to become like him so he could take over possibly. Cs one he did come back also the creators dead and frontmans probably ready to retire
I agree! His plan was evil. Everyone besides his group was a pawn. He should at least let everyone know what's going on and teach them how to defend themselves!
Honestly i liked season 2 only i dont understand the decision of letting the x's die for them to hide it is so not in his character since he wanted to save everyone only to let his group die.
2 things I've noticed: they were left to be last in the six leg games because if the team loses no one will see they don't kill 001, also whenever 001 was the last one to vote he either vote to continue the games or to make it equal so the contestants will kill each other during the night.
What I don’t get though is many of the events were team games, so despite 001 having the previous winner they could still have messed up and died , perhaps 001 doesnt care about death a bit like the recruiter and the voting the chances of it coming down to just relying on one vote from 001 to continue or stop seemed very unlikely as it happened twice as well I need to rewatch it though as lots of things can be missed on first watch
@@jel3726the reason they were played the last in the circle one was to ensure that nobody can see him die (if they loose) they could easily kill the teammates first and leave the frontman
I imagine there are 2 things here. They’re suspicious of Gi-hun so are looking for trackers. They probably think it will be entertaining to have some contestants high. 😅 I’m sure they also knew about the old ladies blade in her hair but again it adds to the fun.
@@clawsyoutubefr cant believe he has stans😭 that tells alot about ppl these days…especially after watching a show with a message like this, scary world😅
There's something you're mistaken . number 11 didn't save the man in green light red light, she just noticed him with a scope they told her to kill 244, and the man was 246. So he wasn't a target in the first place. look back episode 3 again
this. few others got it wrong about this that it bothers me. anyway even if she tried to spare the father guy at that moment, no way other soldiers won't shoot 246 if his number was called out
I had a funny feeling about the captain because in season one they would always say “ the boat is here” when they delivered the organs…I kinda put 2 n2 together and I might be wrong but the captain wasn’t to be trusted
@ I honestly don’t remember it’s when they were in the room removing organs on a dead body…but they were divers bringing the organs to a boat and they never showed the boat…so I just had a feeling 😂
I’m glad you mentioned the in-ho slipped and called Gi-Hun by his real name. That could’ve ruined his whole plan of Gi-Hun even had an ounce of suspicion that he was the front man.
I really really like the fact that the ending shootout they are constantly run out of ammo unlike most Hollywood action films, Ammo run out surprising quick and you constantly need to get more, and that’s one of the main reason (Besides Front man) they lost the battle. Glad to see they went this route where usually that’s not the case.
The son would have never abandoned his mother willingly. He was dragged away by 2 men but obviously didn’t do enough to fight them. To say that he betrayed his mother is simply not true.
I think he fought 99%. I agree when i watched i didnt think he betrayed her and i still kinda dont. But... he fought all the way until he thought going in was his best choice. At the very last second, ge stopped fighting and accepted he has to lose his mom to continue. He stood on his morals the next round holding hands with her as he probably immediately realized that was the wrong choice
You didn't mention 001 breaking the neck of the 3rd guy in the room during Mingle and the friend keeping that info to himself. It was a fairly pivotal moment to leave out.
I like the use of the horse mask as it reminds me of how the main character used to bet on horses, and front man called the players "horses" in season 1.
Another one I have noticed. The front man saves Gi-Huns life when Gi-Hun interrupts the second vote. The first time he interrupted the vote, the guards point a gun at him and say that they will no longer tolerate interruptions during a vote. In the second vote Gi-Hun interrupts again and the front man immediately takes over the interruption by shouting himself. The guards are of course not gonna kill the front man and let it slide.
Another one i have noticed 001 throws the top woth his right hand twice and fails intentioanlly and throws with left hand and succeeds If gi hun was paying attention he might have noticed the sabotage
Yes! Front man is a lefty and when he wants to make sure he does the job well he user his left hand (see scene when he shots his cop-brother), whereas when he shoots the pink guards he uses his right hand. I think this is intentional, to show his duplicity and real intentions. There are many such exemples, I paid special attention to this aspect related to Front man.
Completely unhinged… I definitely wasn’t expecting that… I was watching and when he stomped the bread out, I was like “oh, ok… he’s completely crazy, got it”
One theory: he deliberately rigged the Russian Roulette against his favor so he can taunt Gihon and take his own life. I assume he wants out of this job but couldn't so the only way is to off himself
The sniper doesnt spare 246 life. The player eliminated was announced 244, but they make you think its him because of how she watches him through the scope. In reality she just stopped and noticed him while looking for 244
i thought of it as "catching squid" was bringing players onto the island. i saw another comment saying he may be the one picking up the organs after they're harvested. that could make sense too because they dive down to deliver them, maybe the swim up to the boat? 😮
@@thejessyshow13also their is a hint that he may be picking up organs, when a Souldier gets killed while opening the door on that island the body was put inside the boat soon he tells them to wind up and return as a dead body in boat will be helpful for getting fresh organs.
@@thejessyshow13 i thought that too but isn't the fisherman working with the front man whose against the organ harvesting? Unless he is delivering the organs without him knowing
In-Ho for me is never combing back to the light. Many have been fooled that he will because of his stellar acting job in season 2 fooling Gi-Hun. But in every episode he stares at Gi-Hun, trying to read his emotions, never losing sight of his mission. Even though he fooled Gi-Hun and the audience they he was good. He is clearly the main villain of the series going forward.
Maybe he knew that if he had left Korea to visit his daughter, He would have never comeback coz we know from season 1 that Gi-Hun's weakness is her daughter
@@SpammytheHedgehog yes but he's still a dumb loser. Like the guy who came 2nd in s1 said. He talks without thinking. Hope he becomes the thing he hates
@CocoLiu0619 season 2+3 were filmed back to back I heard. So the story is already told we just haven't found everything out yet. Think of the finale as a mid season finale and it's a break instead of two seasons
Yes. I'm glad someone else noticed it as well. It's designed to reduce chances of players finding out guards identity by their voice. But damn it was cute. 🙆🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
I always thought there was something fishy about that sea captain. After all, how did he just happen to come across Jun -ho near this heavily fortified island at the right moment to rescue him? Too much of an unlikely coincidence.
also he always says that he has to help him for free now because he saved him? It didnt make sense to me, from the start i assumed this dude is on the dark side
@@ku8adop I unfortunately never caught on, but looking back the helping him for free was suspicious and his other actions pointed subtly to him working for the front man.
Don’t think 001 is in the games due to a crisis of conscience. I think 1- former champ wanted to play with/against another former champ 2- he may want to bring 456 to the dark side, and make him have the same outlook on the games/life 3- steer the games in a specific direction just like 456 is trying to. Ying yang 4- another channel suggested that 001 may try to recruit 456 to the staff. We’ll see
HEAR ME OUT: Il-nam (season 1 old guy) is the FATHER of the frontman (both 001) --- okay so --- in season 1 when Gi-hun asks whether he can have chocolate milk because he can't drink normal milk, Il-nam says 'my son was just like you' --- THEN in season 2 the frontman while undercover in the games offers his plain milk to the pregnant girl and says 'I can't drink plain milk' :0 --- also remember as Il-nam was on deathbed how close the frontman was to him, almost like looking after his father
I thought the same thing about the milk conversation. And if I'm not mistaken we don't know anything about Gi-hun's father, II-nam and Gi-hun lived in similar looking houses, his mother was about the same age, and the front man was raised by a step mother. What if all 3 are II-nam's son's.
My only issue with season 2, is it was all just set up for season 3. If they do in fact end it with 3 seasons, they have to cram a lot of unfinished plot lines into what another 7,8 episodes? Seems unreasonable to me. That being said I did love the vibe and tone of the second season.
If they could handle finishing the many plots and characters in season 1, they can handle it in the next 7-9 episodes. The story is a lot less complicated than you might think.
It’s because of character development as to why it was set up into two additional seasons (most kdramas are only one season). The typical saying for kdramas is, don’t reject a show based on the first 1-3 episodes as the amount of character development is heavy and sometimes boring. So because the pre is of the show is death games, you need character development before they die. No point in doing flashbacks later, or in high tension moments. I watched Wonderful World (Disney+), and the first two episodes were extremely heavy, slow, and seemed like too much (I almost quit watching). At the end of the show (after the multiple twists), I realized it was done that way to show the heavy grief and toll of losing your child can bear upon a human which affected the character throughout the rest of the show.
I was surprisingly sad that the recruiter was killed off. He could have been a fun double agent. Aside from his sadistic side we were left not knowing enough about him. I know it's somewhat explained in the show, but I still don't know what distinguishes a potential employee from a potential contestant, since both sides have financial and trauma based backgrounds.
He’s a huge actor in Korea & has a lot of sexual allegations. They originally had more for his character but had to write him off because of his pending cases
I don't think you could have done much sadly enough. The scope of his station was probably just being a recruiter for the games and very little insight beyond knowing what kind of games they were. Kind of like the theme of how powerlessness works in a system based on how much money one has.
@Heavyspoilers, at 18:00 you talk about the Korean names. In season 1, 001 is called IL-NAM (일남) means "one" and "man" (nam is the first part of the word namja) so maybe it means the "first man" or "first person". In season 2, 001 calls himself YOUNG-IL (영일) which means "zero" and "one", which could refer to him being number one. I'm not fluent, but I've been living in Korea for a few years. Side note, please watch it in its original language. The dubbed language removes all of the passion.
Pay attention to Red Light/Green Light when the roof of the stadium opens. Pay attention to the seagulls. It's the same seagulls that are flying in the exact same direction when Gi Hun played the first time. We also see the same seagulls, flying in the same exact direction, when the roof closes. Also pay attention to the subtle look at Gi Huns face when he notices them. It's like he's saying, "What are the chances?" Is the island inside a much larger structure? Is that truly the sky that they are looking at, or a projector simulating a sky? Just a speculation here. Maybe this "island" cannot be found because it's not located in South Korea. Maybe it's located in North Korea. 😉 Ever question if all of the soldiers are also from the North, even if they are defectors? I questioned this before season 2 came out, and surely enough we have a soldier who is a North Korean defector. Why the speculation? Because people from the North are desensitized to death, public executions, etc making them the best selection for soldiers. We also have the religious archetypes that we saw in part 1, for those who caught onto it. The recruiter approaching Gi Hun in the subway and Gi Hun thinks the guy is a Christian trying to convert him. Thus Gi Hun responds with, "I don't believe in Jesus." Il Nam being the archetype of the vengeful God of the Old Testament (The Alpha 001), and Gi Hun being the archetype of the God of the New Testament (The Omega 456, aka Jesus). Il Nam wanting to join his creation in the flesh to "play the games." In reference to the trinity of Christianity. There is a reason why some people thought Il Nam may have been Gi Hun's father. Nope, it's a religious archetype. There is also some Buddhism archetypes in the story as well. "You all decided to come back." Il Nam dying on Xmas morning being a metaphor of the death of the God of the Old Testament, and the birth of the God of the New (Gi Hun). Gi Hun and the street preacher. Look at the symbolism of the hoodwink and the cross placed beside him. Then the word of God exits his mouth, aka the golden ATM card ($$$). Also the last fight with Sang Woo, who is the archetype of Judas who betrays Jesus in the garden, and then kills himself out of guilt. Sang Woo stabs the knife in the palm of Gi Huns hand. This is a metaphor of the crucifixion of Christ. And so on, and so on. In season 2 we are still seeing the same religious metaphors within the story but this time it's the Shaman lady. Notice how she was "wide awake" and staring at Gi Hun when people started waking up. Then what she says to him when he gets out of bed. She is also seen on the top bunk in which Il Nam stood on when he yielded the "commands" for the guards to stop the killing. There was also symbolism behind that scene that had a religious undertone. Il Nam, representing the God of the Old Testament, looking down upon the players (his creation) killing each other. You have more religious symbolism of Thanos with the cross. Inside the cross are narcotics. Is that an artistic statement about religion? Is religion a drug, like money? Then you have the concept of money and debt. Is there a statement being made that money has replaced God and the new sin is debt? Oh and btw, notice the cinematography when the recruiter is playing Russian Roulette with Gi Hun. Pay attention the pink light of Gi Huns motel sign shining in his eyes. His eyes look red, like a demon. Btw, I am not a religious person. I do believe that there are religious archetypes being used within this story. We also had a muslim character in part 1, Ali. Any ways, this may be too much to comprehend for most people who just watch Squid Games on the surface. The guy who wrote this story has a beautiful mind and is extremely cultured and intelligent. There is more going on in the story than what you see on the surface.
you are quite a brilliant man, i must say, on the assumption that you came up with these yourself. Another insight in addition to this is the death of ji-yeong (sae-byeok's friend aka 007) and the conversation leading upto it in S1. I believe her repulsion with religion, mirrors that of Thanos in S2, giving credence to the now shallow concept of money as god, and transition of traditional faith during human crisis to that purely being of survival. The recruiter is personification of this, for playing the overman yourself, gives illusion of beating nature itself.
furthermore, the observation that north koreans would be more desensitized to ruthlessness is important, as it shows the deeper irony of life being molded by uncertainty to bear more pragmatic ideologue than one moulded without it, something which is frequently bet against in the series. That ofcourse doesnt eliminate the biasing begotten by emotion, as is seen by sparing 246 towards the finale. Also, i have come to the conclusion that il-nam may have won the debt on his deathbed, as Gi Hun taking the bet is enough to show that he bears little difference to the show's hosts and clientele, betting on human life rather than going to help them (help the freezing man on the street).
Hate to point out flaws in your novel, but have you never looked at a world map? North and South Korea make up an island together. Jun Ho literally says Team 2's boat will be searching up north while his team would be to the southwest. They can't find the island because the boat captain was preventing them.
The captain saying he "catches squid" and that he makes a lot of money from it. Might mean hes literally hired to catch any contestants that escape. Or he is the same boat driver that drives the giant boat to the games.
@ I didn’t think of that. What gives it away? In the first season they talk about a Chinese ship comes and collects those. It could be when he says how much he makes. But idk id need more evidence.
Why couldnt he do both? In the beginning there is no organs to harvest. Why not take one lump sum for dropping off people then later take much more for bronging back their organs?. Then at the end he could transport the winners. His friend may also be involved as the pinks also need transporting, though they likely need a bigger boat as their pods wouldnt fit on the fishing boat. Or maybe he has a sexond boat that is larger to transport then goes fishing while the games take place selling and just happens to collect organs.
I'm assuming its more like a mid season finale. Seeing as S3 is due to release in 2025 I'm assuming S2 and S3 were filmed back to back and are essentially one long season split into two
@@Sushii_mochi have you watched many kdramas? I have. You can’t comment about a bias unless you’ve seen both sides. Because if you haven’t watched many Asian dramas (10+, either Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai) your opinion in ALSO biased… lol!! 🤭
@@sweetpea31821 yes, I've watched many series and dramas from both sides. And I think they both sides have equally unique, different and general good shows. Whether a show is good or not doesn't depend on its geographical place of origin but on it's directors, actor, writers and the entire crew. And the thing about you telling me that I'm I'm the one who's biased, on what grounds did you say that? I did not even side with one particular party saying that this is superior, unlike you.
You missed a major one. While Gi-hun is talking to Mr. Piggybank in the limo, they’re talking about horse racing. How people are horses and Gi-hun’s plan is basically to tell the horses owners to stop. This is going parallel to the party, in which Gi-hun’s friend is wearing the green horse mask.
I also think 011 was a guard in the first season. They say she’s been working at the circus place for 2 years. Then quits when the games start again and she was just randomly approached to go back to work. Plus she hates the origin harvesting knowing it’s been happening
If you pay attention to the show, they mention that the main character has been searching for two years, and he didnt see Il nam on his death bed until a year after he won. She was not in season 1.
And Gi hun is batman, it perfectly make sense tho..cause in ho always wanted to see what the reality looks like, while being a cold blooded lunatic, thats what joker does to batman
I can't imagine Gi-Hun would be working with the Cop and the Cop wouldn't have told him, "My brother is the Front Man in charge of the games, this is a picture of him, I saw his face before he shot me". Unless they're saving it for Season 3 that Gi-Hun knew 001 was The Front Man. During the games, letting on that he knew wouldn't change anything, but could help guarantee some level of safety for their team (which it did), and maybe story wise, they'll eventually have the Front Man reveal himself to Gi-Hun, to which Gi-Hun will reveal he already knew.
But didn't the cop tell everyone that he doesn't know who shot him? I am not sure why he would do that tho.... Gi-Hun still might have caught on to 001 and found it out during the games
@@jeremyb9482 no, not nescessarily, he didn't know that the captain was a mole... and the people want to kill the frontman no matter if he was the brother or not. so it would have just helped the investigation by knowing how the front man looks like
@@staceynainlab888 Correct. He did not tell the police chief, he did not tell the sailor, and he did not tell Gi-Hun and the ex-military squad. He is purposely hiding that information, likely so he can try to have another conversation with his brother. In season 1 there were other guards there, so he may reason that "he had to shoot me to keep his cover" or something similar, and wants to try and have an earnest conversation with him to figure out why his brother ended up as the Frontman.
One issue I have is you’re telling me the people in control were thorough enough to remove a hidden dental implant tracking chip but NOT a blatant pill supply hidden in a cross necklace?! 😂
I thought that was a weird moment. Every other appearance from him is controlled and cold. Then when he’s destroying the bread he’s like a kid throwing a tantrum
@@williamgiesen4910gotta get it out somewhere! I don’t even think that’s was part of his job. It’s like his own personal side quest… terrorize homeless people, river dance over the bread.
20:23 not gonna lie, it’s still looks like he wasn’t intending to leave her, it looks like he is being made by force to leave her against his will. Perhaps he wasn’t trying hard enough to shrug those two off 🤷♂️
You clearly missed the dialogue between the Boat captain and thr detective. In a single scene, the captain said he's been sailing for 30 years and a few moments later he said he's been doing it for 10 years. I became suspicious of him since then.
@@EdoubleLYhe has the boat for 10 years. He was saying that in the context of that he never had an accident with the boat, so for at least 10. If I remember correctly
As a ship captain myself, we would talk about our experience separately from our boat’s experience. I have sailed for 8 years but I’ve only sailed my current ship for 2 years. I was sailing different ships my first six years. This is definitely what the captain meant and this was not an error by any means.
You missed a few clues. In Ep. 5 Player 001 tells everybody his name is “ Oh Yong-il” which is the exact same surname as the old man from season one. Also in Ep 5 player 001 offers his milk to the pregnant girl saying “take it, I don’t drink plain milk” which is a callback to the conversation our main character had with the old man from season one. The front man has been dropping hints that he is not who he says he is. And if you go back and watch the scene where he tells everybody his name you see our main character picks up on it immediately looking down at his number 001 before the character reference’s that his name sounds like his number. I think the twist in season 3 will be that our main character knew player 001 from the second season was not who he says he was the entire time.
Honestly idk that he could pull it off the way the character has been portrayed, i think he would screw up if he was trying to be sneaky. My theory is his ignorance is what has kept him safe - 001 snapped a neck in front of his friend and look what happened to him in the end lol
Crazy I thought about this too. I said “what if player 456 actually knows 001 is not who he says he is” && us as the audience just don’t realize that. I swear I said that could be a plot twist too bc I’m thinking he’s just to smart to just ignore all the red flags like come on now 😂
oh come on, the son didnt leave her, he was torn away from her. She was just scared and didn't know how to process the situation so she defended him. Mainly because its a dark room with strobe lights so she isn't 100% sure what happened.
The Fisherman tells the whole group to start drinking during the day at the cafe by the docks because he knows the weather and that the rain will prevent them from going out that day. By the end of the scene they are all drinking and you can see oht the cafe window that the rain has stopped and the weather is clearing up
I usually love your videos but genuine criticism here pointing out the green and pink for half the run time was absolutely annoying as all hell and unnecessary stretching the video while not touching on a lot of important things that could have actually used context
@@NoCloutJoey it’s a show about South Korean culture…. So when reviewing, one should take care to know South Korean culture enough to not mix up something as common as kimbap lol
During the Frontman's turn in the six-legged race, he starts out using his right hand when he's left handed. Obviously we knew he'd sabotage Gi-hun, this was just one of the ways he did. With the name slip up, the 001 thing, and the right hand thing, I'm surprised Gi-Hun never suspected anything.
I honestly thought front man was starting to understand Gi Hun‘s pov, but after that ending, idk anymore. Would be weird if he‘d be still on Gi Hun‘s side AFTER k!lling his best friend
I actually started to like the front man as a character, even knowing he's a complete psycho 😂 him turning good would be pretty satisfying but it would make taking the games down too easy in my opinion
Finale took a nose dive in writing quality in my opinion. Randomly sacrificing people after not wanting to even attack the other side, Nobody commenting on that they're now not getting any money at all, somehow everyone forgot to check the pockets in the first place etc. Was just frustrating to watch.
Agree. The plot holes (letting X members die when the lights went off, the players hiding under the beds somehow could move to the middle of the rooms and played dead, and not checking for gun ammo) are hard to watch...
Also the Xs asking the O members to join them in the revolution and potentially trusting them with guns right after they were at war with one another, and further yet, none of the Os stepping forward to take that opportunity to weild a gun and then turn on them to get their power back? Plus the Os have zero incentive to help with that plan in the first place because they were consenting to being the games and wanted to win the money. The revolt was honestly a disruption to their goals so why do they just stand there in silence and submission accepting it the whole time? Then when a bunch of the Xs leave for the revolt, the Os would have outnumbered the remaining Xs and would have continued the attack and killed them so they would win the next vote and continue the games. Also in the gun fight, it got stagnant because they all stayed in the same places wasting ammo and getting nowhere for far too long. They should have split 50-50 with half going back to get the magazines, and the other half going onward to find the control room. Then the magazines would have made it back, and there would have been more backup at the staircase near the control room, so they wouldn't have outnumbered by the guards and stuck in the same place for a thousand years. Also those two extra guys with 001 not noticing him ignoring all the guns and ammo on the bodies of the guards on purpose, and not picking it up themselves, right after they had just been without ammo and were freshly conscious of their dire need for weapons and ammo. Anyone would think to be collecting as much of it as they could possibly get.
@@billcipher801 it means when they finished filming the second season they immediately started filming the third. Also meaning the third season is already done
20:25 this made me so mad, he was literally pulled away from her and she was making up an excuse for nothing. Maybe in character it works she's probably done that a lot to explain away his poor behavior so as it doesn't reflect on her, so it was natural for her to make up an excuse vs telling the truth. While we've seen he does not make good decisions that was just heart wrenching when they got back together.
Yea I was pretty pissed off my first time watching it. He was over powered by two men and was forced away. Maybe he didn’t fight hard enough? Not sure why everyone keeps saying he left
so i watched s2 a few days later. i saw that you had 3 videos out bout s2 and thought nice. i get that you want to get content out as soon as you can bout this stuff and when u notice new stuff put out more videos. but the amount of redundency in all 3 videos is really though. if i were to check back i guess there are some tidbits you said in all 3 videos. watching this back to back is hard
Y'all are saying Gi hun shouldve known not to trust 001.. Why? The man that once wore 001 is dead. He doesnt know everyone who's involved either. He was merely a player. Why would he have to be suspicious of another 001 as he thinks everyone is yet another victim of the games.
Because of his name.. almost the same as the old man 001 ,and the way hes too confident in every approach like he knows what's up while everyone looks clueless. And this 001 literally shows everyone he can fight the two bullies while never mentioned his past and nobody ask him where he learn to fight? Bruh
@@izzanirfan2534 Also, he becomes way too suspiciously close to Gi-Hun suddenly. “I trust you, Gi-Hun. Whatever you say is best.” Dude I met you like 10mins ago. What’s your angle? Also his last name literally means “01”!
imagine if the mother son duo turns out to be Oh Il Nam's long lost wife and son he mentioned in marbles S1 (I've also seen theories that front man is S1 001's son but I would be disappointed in the scriptwriting if this was the case because the policeman/detective undercover as a guard in S1 should have also recognised 001 as his own dad too)
21:06 would like to correct you: I believe that’s gimbap （김밥) it’s kinda like a korean sushi i guess, but you don’t need a fork to eat it…. it shows that its done intentionally for the VIPS to watch the action of players killing eachother
To me it felt like in red light green light, Gihun was moving a little too much. Like even though he has his arm over his face you can see him trembling strongly every time he screams, as well as his eyes and mouth moving. To me it felt they were a bit too loose with that scene. Like they should have tried to get him to be more sneaky about it, as if trying to protect his own life at least. And the sniper POV showed they did have some views from an angle, so hiding behind someone would not always protect you.
@@staceynainlab888no it’s definitely helpful. There’s no one dying in first few rounds and the final deaths less than 100, while in season 1 is 255 people
Yeah I was also thinking that he was moving way too much, but the thing about the angle I don’t agree on. The doll is has the movement sensor and it’s placed directly in front of them, as someone else said the snipers just kill the numbers being called out
You are so off on thinking the front man is having a shift in conscience. He is there to do nothing more than test Gi Hun on the true morality of the actions he takes. He is trying to hold up a mirror and show him that they are one and the same when it comes to each decision. Opposite sides of the fence with nobody being victorious in their goals without being the same person morally. He is just mocking him the entire time as he questions the moral aspect that each of Gi Huns righteous efforts, and sees him make morally wrong decisions only because he believes it is for the good, the exact same reason the front man makes the same decisions.
Season 2+3 were filmed back to back I heard. So the story is already told we just haven't found everything out yet. Think of this finale as a mid season finale and it's a break on the season instead of two seasons
about guard 011 and player 246. The CPU called out "244." 011 looked through her scope and saw "246." She did a double take to make sure that she didn't shoot the wrong number. However, she immediately recognized him as the father of the girl with blood cancer.
The captain is deffinanlty a vip. The reason I believe so is not only because of his betrayal but he is close to the same age as oh il nam and says he has been boating these waters for 30 years. Which is how long ago the squid games started. He also picked up the officer most likely on orders from the front man. He also is referred to by management when 011 won't leave the organ donnors alive, the lead square says to her are you worried the captain will find out? You don't have to worry about that. Another option is he is the organ buyer or some how involved in the transportation of the organs which is why he was so close to the island
Another small detail I would like to point out is the speculation that the Frontman is Il-nam’s son. In the first season there is a scene in which Il-nam states “You are just like my son he couldn’t drink milk too” which can loosely tied to a scene in the second season where the Frontman gives his milk away because he doesn’t drink it anyways. This also ties in really well in the sense that we find out, the Frontman is Jun-ho’s stepbrother and not biological brother when his mother states that she loved him even as a stepson. This detail though would be able to let the writers hide the fact (through different last names) that Il-nam and detective Jun-ho are related. We are also not given much information about his step father so this may fill in that gap. Just a loose speculation but i thought it was an interesting detail that should be pointed out. The writers included these points for a reason.
I have a small theory that in the six legged race, the frontman purposely messed up until the last minute until the last "save" to gain more trust with Gi-hun.
I think the Frontman infiltrated the games primarily just to put on a show and make it entertaining. I mean that’s literally the entire reason he invited Gi-Hun back in the first place. He also probably just wanted to gain his trust, so if he did try anything, he could easily backstab him.
The beginning with the food vs lottery ticket thing I found funny. I don't know about Korea, but in America, food is fairly easy to come by for homeless people. Cash to support their habit, not so much. So, if the homeless person is smart, you choose the ticket every time. Plus, stomping on the food would not deter them from eating it.
I find it interesting that the Marine Guy, compare the underhand throw was Kim Byung-Hyun is almost the similar name as Lee Byung-Hun (The Front Man) actor and 001.
The only scene in this season that traumatized me was when they left with the solider's guns, we see Se-Mi dead and her friend crying over her out of shock and regret for not saving her. I felt so bad for both of them😭💔💔
@@danielcrunden5578 yeah the owner of the games or whatever also yes 001 died because of the brain tumor remember when they were looking at the homeless guy
@Wenegadewaider1111 yes i am aware the old man died, which is why I said he isn't the "front man", he is the "host" who couldn't join the other VIPs. The "front man" is the same person in series 1 and 2.
I don't want the Front Man to have a redemption arc. Also, there's an overhead shot of a chandelier in one episode, which reminded me of the suspended piggy bank.
I would really enjoy playing the six-legged race.............if my life wasn't on the line. In any other situation, it looks like fun. It's incredibly unfair though. Look at Gi-Hun's team for instance, three of them did their mini games perfectly in one try but all could have died because one person fumbled with the spinning top. In a context of playing for fun I'd be cool with that, but when their very lives are at stake it highlights the injustice of it
Let us know what you thought of the show below
Didn’t the front man also win 2 games be?
One correction with the woman being given the card 'without playing any games', while this is played to mislead us that she's a player we find out from 'Officer' that runs the organ smuggling ring that shes been a guard for many years going back year after year to serve as a soldier in the games, and the longer serving soldiers seem to know each other quite well.
Mediocre
There was scene where the coffine popped open and it was dropped down and faked burned, does that mean someone maybe survived or someone else is also in the inside?
@@jaradpillay6980 In the previous season one of the incinerators had a secret drop into another room below where the organ harvesters worked, the group have reformed their operation and are still using it behind the Headman's back.
I understand that Gi-Hun didn't know what the Front Man looked like behind the mask... but he needs to stop putting his trust in anyone who wears 001. 😂
Like dyg💀
Are u just gonna copy and paste your comments?
Damn that's sad
Why? Gi-Hun knows who the last 001 was and why he played, does he have any reason to believe that this 001 would be a plant too?
@@mb2000Yes, bc the last one was

His opps really said we ain't finished till we say you're finished.
Now we gonna play some kid games of death.
fucked up to damn.
Exactly....still a loser like the first season.
I think you're wrong about the FrontMan... he went in the games with the intention of seeing exactly what Gi-Hun was up to and to then sabotage his plan; I don't think he went in the games because of any crisis of conscience or because he's on the fence morally. However, I do believe that in season 3 he may be swayed by his brother.
Many close-up shots that frontman is observing gi-hun.
I don't think it was to sabotage his plan because if that was it he wouldn't have gone along with it for as long as he did, I think the Frontman was trying to crush Gi-huns spirit by killing his best friend in front of him.
I think he was trying to poke holes in gi-huns morality. Gi-huns original motive is to prevent as much death as possible but ultimately is willing to sacrifice people for his own objective, something the front man smirks at
@@Grufflebum and by proving to him that the games will never end because the people want the games. They need the games.
Until poor people can stop looking at each other as the enemy or “other” and start working together society will never change. Society and the rich keep convincing, poor people that other poor people are the reason they are not succeeding.
@@Grufflebum he agreed to sacrifice a few people for the greater good which to him meant killing some of his soldiers for the plan… Gihun had a good plan and had even better back up outside with the soldiers and the detective…. They had under estimated him and the only thing that gave them an upper hand was the mole (fisherman) they planted on him and his team this is why front man decided to join so he could know what else gihun had up his sleeve and ofcourse to poke holes in his morality and also try to justify the games!
I assumed the fisherman is the guy who picks up the organs
Yeah that definitely makes sense
he was also probably called to find the police guy.
I think you nailed it. It answers why after all that searching, they could not find island.
Oh he's definitely that connection bc nobody would suspect an old fisherman
either that, or helps transport the players to the island, but yours makes more sense
When I saw the Front Man as 001, I knew Gi-Hun was screwed from here on.
What if Gi-Hun is well aware of the tactics of the frontman and is just playing with him to reach his Target ?
I don't think so for now because he did a good job blending in with a rest but now that he isn't anymore he can put one and two together and think about who 001 really was
@@Beautifulme22 unfortunately that will be out of character because we know gihun’s character is not the sharpest tool in the box since s1
maybe he woulda known if dude would have told him wa happen in det room
Especially when he was the deciding vote.
No matter how this ends, Gi han sacrificed the lives of others for his plan. This brought a smirk to 001 because the games are similarly designed that way. I believe this will be brought up when they have their face to face encounter.
100%! It was a definitive twist in his character and a total 180 from where he started in season 1. I can't wait to see how he'll react to that realisation.
The front man saw that and will probably try to make Gi Han the next frontman
@@minimouette yeah that was 001s plan all along. That’s why he kept asking him all of those questions on his plan to question his mindset and maybe get him to think in a different perspective.. to become like him so he could take over possibly. Cs one he did come back also the creators dead and frontmans probably ready to retire
I agree! His plan was evil. Everyone besides his group was a pawn. He should at least let everyone know what's going on and teach them how to defend themselves!
Honestly i liked season 2 only i dont understand the decision of letting the x's die for them to hide it is so not in his character since he wanted to save everyone only to let his group die.
2 things I've noticed: they were left to be last in the six leg games because if the team loses no one will see they don't kill 001, also whenever 001 was the last one to vote he either vote to continue the games or to make it equal so the contestants will kill each other during the night.
Yes although its interesting plot ..but predictable
What I don’t get though is many of the events were team games, so despite 001 having the previous winner they could still have messed up and died , perhaps 001 doesnt care about death a bit like the recruiter and the voting the chances of it coming down to just relying on one vote from 001 to continue or stop seemed very unlikely as it happened twice as well I need to rewatch it though as lots of things can be missed on first watch
@@jel3726the reason they were played the last in the circle one was to ensure that nobody can see him die (if they loose) they could easily kill the teammates first and leave the frontman
Yeah no shit genius
He is the ultimate troll!
My only gripe is that they can search for a tracker in a tooth but can let Hommie bring a whole crucifix of drugs LOL!!
I imagine there are 2 things here.
They’re suspicious of Gi-hun so are looking for trackers.
They probably think it will be entertaining to have some contestants high. 😅
I’m sure they also knew about the old ladies blade in her hair but again it adds to the fun.
also, that older lady smuggled in a knife in her hair bun
They don't want to be found but having a participant "enhanced" by drugs is interesting to create more chaos.
They let him have the drugs. They would have thought it's going to cause fighting which is ideal
I believe the intentionally left that on him as it would be more entertainment for the VIPs
The Front Man was just grooming Gi-Hun to become just like him.
Thats an interesting theory. S3 will be epic
Yes this is my theory!
Yeah I've been saying that to everyone I talk to as well😂
I believe the series will end with him willingly joining the organization
I think that’s what it is as well.

I really really like the fact that the ending shootout they are constantly run out of ammo unlike most Hollywood action films, Ammo run out surprising quick and you constantly need to get more, and that’s one of the main reason (Besides Front man) they lost the battle. Glad to see they went this route where usually that’s not the case.
Absolutely agree. I was thinking the same. Love that they make it more realistic.
@@ticao544 the only part that's not realistic is how stupid Gi-hun is to not even suspect that guy.
The son would have never abandoned his mother willingly. He was dragged away by 2 men but obviously didn’t do enough to fight them. To say that he betrayed his mother is simply not true.
Yer, I was confused that everyone was acting like he betrayed her. He was clearly dragged off against his will.
Yall must be weak minded. The dude betrayed his mom. He could not go in.
@@alexpolanco7648he was dragged in? He clearly wanted to stay with his mum even if it meant they both died
I think he fought 99%. I agree when i watched i didnt think he betrayed her and i still kinda dont. But... he fought all the way until he thought going in was his best choice. At the very last second, ge stopped fighting and accepted he has to lose his mom to continue. He stood on his morals the next round holding hands with her as he probably immediately realized that was the wrong choice
Im curious to see if the context was changed in translation
You didn't mention 001 breaking the neck of the 3rd guy in the room during Mingle and the friend keeping that info to himself. It was a fairly pivotal moment to leave out.
and unfortunately, it doesn't go anywhere.
Objectively, that was the only choice the Frontman had, kill or be killed
@@NaijaCINEi think the frontman wouldnt be killed, instead he will returned to his real place as frontman, not the players
Makes no sense that you would keep this murderous action secret from your BFF.
Let’s just hope that he secretly told Gi Hun
I like the use of the horse mask as it reminds me of how the main character used to bet on horses, and front man called the players "horses" in season 1.
wow, that's deep bro...
Another one I have noticed. The front man saves Gi-Huns life when Gi-Hun interrupts the second vote. The first time he interrupted the vote, the guards point a gun at him and say that they will no longer tolerate interruptions during a vote. In the second vote Gi-Hun interrupts again and the front man immediately takes over the interruption by shouting himself. The guards are of course not gonna kill the front man and let it slide.
wow, that's good 1 bro...
Another one i have noticed
001 throws the top woth his right hand twice and fails intentioanlly and throws with left hand and succeeds
If gi hun was paying attention he might have noticed the sabotage
HOLY SHIT YES HES A LEFTIE
Yes! Front man is a lefty and when he wants to make sure he does the job well he user his left hand (see scene when he shots his cop-brother), whereas when he shoots the pink guards he uses his right hand. I think this is intentional, to show his duplicity and real intentions. There are many such exemples, I paid special attention to this aspect related to Front man.
I thought that was going to be a Gi-Hun revelation at the end of the season, but I guess not (or maybe he’ll figure that out in s3)

The Fisherman said he catches Squid. Meaning he probably catches people trying to escape the island

@@thejessyshow13also their is a hint that he may be picking up organs, when a Souldier gets killed while opening the door on that island the body was put inside the boat soon he tells them to wind up and return as a dead body in boat will be helpful for getting fresh organs.

In-Ho for me is never combing back to the light. Many have been fooled that he will because of his stellar acting job in season 2 fooling Gi-Hun. But in every episode he stares at Gi-Hun, trying to read his emotions, never losing sight of his mission. Even though he fooled Gi-Hun and the audience they he was good. He is clearly the main villain of the series going forward.
I for one thought Gi-Hun should've went to see his daughter, first. Then come back to Korea and stop the Squid Games.
He knew he would have never returned at that point.
Use your head like the ones below you
Maybe he knew that if he had left Korea to visit his daughter, He would have never comeback coz we know from season 1 that Gi-Hun's weakness is her daughter

@Equines_and_Animals Yeah I didn't catch on until drunk guy was blabbering and he started asking too many questions.
Don’t think 001 is in the games due to a crisis of conscience. I think
1- former champ wanted to play with/against another former champ
2- he may want to bring 456 to the dark side, and make him have the same outlook on the games/life
3- steer the games in a specific direction just like 456 is trying to. Ying yang
4- another channel suggested that 001 may try to recruit 456 to the staff. We’ll see
also probably sabotage, get close to gihun, get his trust and gets his hopes up to just crush it
HEAR ME OUT: Il-nam (season 1 old guy) is the FATHER of the frontman (both 001) --- okay so --- in season 1 when Gi-hun asks whether he can have chocolate milk because he can't drink normal milk, Il-nam says 'my son was just like you' --- THEN in season 2 the frontman while undercover in the games offers his plain milk to the pregnant girl and says 'I can't drink plain milk' :0 --- also remember as Il-nam was on deathbed how close the frontman was to him, almost like looking after his father
I just don't see why they would include random scenes to do with not liking plain milk otherwise
WAAAIIIT YOU ARE SO RIGHT I DONT THINK THIS HAS ANY PLOT RELEVANCY BUT DAMNNN
I thought the same thing about the milk conversation. And if I'm not mistaken we don't know anything about Gi-hun's father, II-nam and Gi-hun lived in similar looking houses, his mother was about the same age, and the front man was raised by a step mother. What if all 3 are II-nam's son's.
Wouldn't that be some shit! 🤯🤯🤯 @@gawdesssheba1040
My only issue with season 2, is it was all just set up for season 3. If they do in fact end it with 3 seasons, they have to cram a lot of unfinished plot lines into what another 7,8 episodes? Seems unreasonable to me. That being said I did love the vibe and tone of the second season.
If they could handle finishing the many plots and characters in season 1, they can handle it in the next 7-9 episodes. The story is a lot less complicated than you might think.
It’s because of character development as to why it was set up into two additional seasons (most kdramas are only one season). The typical saying for kdramas is, don’t reject a show based on the first 1-3 episodes as the amount of character development is heavy and sometimes boring. So because the pre is of the show is death games, you need character development before they die. No point in doing flashbacks later, or in high tension moments.
I watched Wonderful World (Disney+), and the first two episodes were extremely heavy, slow, and seemed like too much (I almost quit watching). At the end of the show (after the multiple twists), I realized it was done that way to show the heavy grief and toll of losing your child can bear upon a human which affected the character throughout the rest of the show.
S3 is basically part 2 of S2, because they cut off right in the middle of the games. Felt very incomplete
During the uprising, they could have simply worn the Costumes of the Guards and that could have made the things bit more interesting 😅
See that's what I was hoping they would do like how the cop did in season 1
I’m surprised they didn’t do that, maybe it was a time thing?
I think they could have killed each other by mistake doing so
@920liver I mean, you've definitely got a point, but the vips watching would probably love it because it would be more entertaining
I think it wouldn’t work, because there is blood and holes on the costumes.
Plus, they didn't have that much time to change…
I was surprisingly sad that the recruiter was killed off. He could have been a fun double agent. Aside from his sadistic side we were left not knowing enough about him. I know it's somewhat explained in the show, but I still don't know what distinguishes a potential employee from a potential contestant, since both sides have financial and trauma based backgrounds.

@@33G-y2dlol gong yoo doesn’t have any pending cases, what are you on about
I don't think you could have done much sadly enough. The scope of his station was probably just being a recruiter for the games and very little insight beyond knowing what kind of games they were. Kind of like the theme of how powerlessness works in a system based on how much money one has.
Gi-Hun's nightmare about the triangle cookie looks exactly like the Mingle carousel.
@Heavyspoilers, at 18:00 you talk about the Korean names.
In season 1, 001 is called IL-NAM (일남) means "one" and "man" (nam is the first part of the word namja) so maybe it means the "first man" or "first person".
In season 2, 001 calls himself YOUNG-IL (영일) which means "zero" and "one", which could refer to him being number one. I'm not fluent, but I've been living in Korea for a few years. Side note, please watch it in its original language. The dubbed language removes all of the passion.
Pay attention to Red Light/Green Light when the roof of the stadium opens. Pay attention to the seagulls. It's the same seagulls that are flying in the exact same direction when Gi Hun played the first time. We also see the same seagulls, flying in the same exact direction, when the roof closes. Also pay attention to the subtle look at Gi Huns face when he notices them. It's like he's saying, "What are the chances?" Is the island inside a much larger structure? Is that truly the sky that they are looking at, or a projector simulating a sky?
Just a speculation here. Maybe this "island" cannot be found because it's not located in South Korea. Maybe it's located in North Korea. 😉 Ever question if all of the soldiers are also from the North, even if they are defectors? I questioned this before season 2 came out, and surely enough we have a soldier who is a North Korean defector. Why the speculation? Because people from the North are desensitized to death, public executions, etc making them the best selection for soldiers.
We also have the religious archetypes that we saw in part 1, for those who caught onto it. The recruiter approaching Gi Hun in the subway and Gi Hun thinks the guy is a Christian trying to convert him. Thus Gi Hun responds with, "I don't believe in Jesus." Il Nam being the archetype of the vengeful God of the Old Testament (The Alpha 001), and Gi Hun being the archetype of the God of the New Testament (The Omega 456, aka Jesus). Il Nam wanting to join his creation in the flesh to "play the games." In reference to the trinity of Christianity. There is a reason why some people thought Il Nam may have been Gi Hun's father. Nope, it's a religious archetype. There is also some Buddhism archetypes in the story as well. "You all decided to come back." Il Nam dying on Xmas morning being a metaphor of the death of the God of the Old Testament, and the birth of the God of the New (Gi Hun). Gi Hun and the street preacher. Look at the symbolism of the hoodwink and the cross placed beside him. Then the word of God exits his mouth, aka the golden ATM card ($$$). Also the last fight with Sang Woo, who is the archetype of Judas who betrays Jesus in the garden, and then kills himself out of guilt. Sang Woo stabs the knife in the palm of Gi Huns hand. This is a metaphor of the crucifixion of Christ. And so on, and so on.
In season 2 we are still seeing the same religious metaphors within the story but this time it's the Shaman lady. Notice how she was "wide awake" and staring at Gi Hun when people started waking up. Then what she says to him when he gets out of bed. She is also seen on the top bunk in which Il Nam stood on when he yielded the "commands" for the guards to stop the killing. There was also symbolism behind that scene that had a religious undertone. Il Nam, representing the God of the Old Testament, looking down upon the players (his creation) killing each other. You have more religious symbolism of Thanos with the cross. Inside the cross are narcotics. Is that an artistic statement about religion? Is religion a drug, like money? Then you have the concept of money and debt. Is there a statement being made that money has replaced God and the new sin is debt? Oh and btw, notice the cinematography when the recruiter is playing Russian Roulette with Gi Hun. Pay attention the pink light of Gi Huns motel sign shining in his eyes. His eyes look red, like a demon. Btw, I am not a religious person. I do believe that there are religious archetypes being used within this story. We also had a muslim character in part 1, Ali.
Any ways, this may be too much to comprehend for most people who just watch Squid Games on the surface. The guy who wrote this story has a beautiful mind and is extremely cultured and intelligent. There is more going on in the story than what you see on the surface.
🤯!!
you are quite a brilliant man, i must say, on the assumption that you came up with these yourself. Another insight in addition to this is the death of ji-yeong (sae-byeok's friend aka 007) and the conversation leading upto it in S1. I believe her repulsion with religion, mirrors that of Thanos in S2, giving credence to the now shallow concept of money as god, and transition of traditional faith during human crisis to that purely being of survival. The recruiter is personification of this, for playing the overman yourself, gives illusion of beating nature itself.
furthermore, the observation that north koreans would be more desensitized to ruthlessness is important, as it shows the deeper irony of life being molded by uncertainty to bear more pragmatic ideologue than one moulded without it, something which is frequently bet against in the series. That ofcourse doesnt eliminate the biasing begotten by emotion, as is seen by sparing 246 towards the finale. Also, i have come to the conclusion that il-nam may have won the debt on his deathbed, as Gi Hun taking the bet is enough to show that he bears little difference to the show's hosts and clientele, betting on human life rather than going to help them (help the freezing man on the street).
Hate to point out flaws in your novel, but have you never looked at a world map? North and South Korea make up an island together. Jun Ho literally says Team 2's boat will be searching up north while his team would be to the southwest. They can't find the island because the boat captain was preventing them.
Nice analysis!
The captain saying he "catches squid" and that he makes a lot of money from it. Might mean hes literally hired to catch any contestants that escape. Or he is the same boat driver that drives the giant boat to the games.
He is the one who collects the organs and trade them..
@ I didn’t think of that. What gives it away? In the first season they talk about a Chinese ship comes and collects those.
It could be when he says how much he makes. But idk id need more evidence.
Why couldnt he do both?
In the beginning there is no organs to harvest. Why not take one lump sum for dropping off people then later take much more for bronging back their organs?.
Then at the end he could transport the winners. His friend may also be involved as the pinks also need transporting, though they likely need a bigger boat as their pods wouldnt fit on the fishing boat.
Or maybe he has a sexond boat that is larger to transport then goes fishing while the games take place selling and just happens to collect organs.
I don't think contestants escaping is something that happens to actually need someone to catch them. How do you even escape?
@@alex_turing From what we know there hasn’t been any escapes besides the guy who snuck in a disguised as a guard in season 1, it’s pretty secure
The season ended so abruptly. It was so quick
Literally like it feels like it was rushed !
I'm assuming its more like a mid season finale. Seeing as S3 is due to release in 2025 I'm assuming S2 and S3 were filmed back to back and are essentially one long season split into two
because s2&3 were filmed together its more of a part 1 and 2
*They should have added more episodes hope s3 will end satisfying*

@@sweetpea31821 yes, I've watched many series and dramas from both sides. And I think they both sides have equally unique, different and general good shows.

And the thing about you telling me that I'm I'm the one who's biased, on what grounds did you say that? I did not even side with one particular party saying that this is superior, unlike you.
You missed a major one. While Gi-hun is talking to Mr. Piggybank in the limo, they’re talking about horse racing. How people are horses and Gi-hun’s plan is basically to tell the horses owners to stop. This is going parallel to the party, in which Gi-hun’s friend is wearing the green horse mask.
Wait and in the teaser there’s players running on a track which could represent the horse thing
I also think 011 was a guard in the first season. They say she’s been working at the circus place for 2 years. Then quits when the games start again and she was just randomly approached to go back to work. Plus she hates the origin harvesting knowing it’s been happening
If you pay attention to the show, they mention that the main character has been searching for two years, and he didnt see Il nam on his death bed until a year after he won. She was not in season 1.

I can't imagine Gi-Hun would be working with the Cop and the Cop wouldn't have told him, "My brother is the Front Man in charge of the games, this is a picture of him, I saw his face before he shot me".
Unless they're saving it for Season 3 that Gi-Hun knew 001 was The Front Man.
During the games, letting on that he knew wouldn't change anything, but could help guarantee some level of safety for their team (which it did), and maybe story wise, they'll eventually have the Front Man reveal himself to Gi-Hun, to which Gi-Hun will reveal he already knew.
But didn't the cop tell everyone that he doesn't know who shot him? I am not sure why he would do that tho.... Gi-Hun still might have caught on to 001 and found it out during the games
@@anna-un5veit’s obvious. That’s her brother and he wants more answers. Telling people would get his brother killed
@@jeremyb9482 no, not nescessarily, he didn't know that the captain was a mole... and the people want to kill the frontman no matter if he was the brother or not. so it would have just helped the investigation by knowing how the front man looks like
I don't think he told anybody that the front man was his brother
@@staceynainlab888 Correct. He did not tell the police chief, he did not tell the sailor, and he did not tell Gi-Hun and the ex-military squad. He is purposely hiding that information, likely so he can try to have another conversation with his brother. In season 1 there were other guards there, so he may reason that "he had to shoot me to keep his cover" or something similar, and wants to try and have an earnest conversation with him to figure out why his brother ended up as the Frontman.
One issue I have is you’re telling me the people in control were thorough enough to remove a hidden dental implant tracking chip but NOT a blatant pill supply hidden in a cross necklace?! 😂
It's because they told the boat driver about the hidden tracker and that tipped them off

You clearly missed the dialogue between the Boat captain and thr detective. In a single scene, the captain said he's been sailing for 30 years and a few moments later he said he's been doing it for 10 years. I became suspicious of him since then.
I thought the captain said that he had the boat for 10 years. And he is sailing for 30 years.
@@EdoubleLYhe has the boat for 10 years. He was saying that in the context of that he never had an accident with the boat, so for at least 10. If I remember correctly
I took it as he’s been sailing for 30 years but only that particular boat for 10.
THIS!! I even rewound that part to double check that's what he said and instantly made me suspicious
As a ship captain myself, we would talk about our experience separately from our boat’s experience. I have sailed for 8 years but I’ve only sailed my current ship for 2 years. I was sailing different ships my first six years. This is definitely what the captain meant and this was not an error by any means.
You missed a few clues.
In Ep. 5 Player 001 tells everybody his name is “ Oh Yong-il” which is the exact same surname as the old man from season one.
Also in Ep 5 player 001 offers his milk to the pregnant girl saying “take it, I don’t drink plain milk” which is a callback to the conversation our main character had with the old man from season one.
The front man has been dropping hints that he is not who he says he is. And if you go back and watch the scene where he tells everybody his name you see our main character picks up on it immediately looking down at his number 001 before the character reference’s that his name sounds like his number.
I think the twist in season 3 will be that our main character knew player 001 from the second season was not who he says he was the entire time.
Honestly idk that he could pull it off the way the character has been portrayed, i think he would screw up if he was trying to be sneaky. My theory is his ignorance is what has kept him safe - 001 snapped a neck in front of his friend and look what happened to him in the end lol
Crazy I thought about this too. I said “what if player 456 actually knows 001 is not who he says he is” && us as the audience just don’t realize that. I swear I said that could be a plot twist too bc I’m thinking he’s just to smart to just ignore all the red flags like come on now 😂
I like this take. It could be used to further illustrate how 456 is becoming just like 001 despite his intentions.
@ yes!!! Because even with good intentions, we can become monsters.

The Fisherman tells the whole group to start drinking during the day at the cafe by the docks because he knows the weather and that the rain will prevent them from going out that day. By the end of the scene they are all drinking and you can see oht the cafe window that the rain has stopped and the weather is clearing up

During the Frontman's turn in the six-legged race, he starts out using his right hand when he's left handed. Obviously we knew he'd sabotage Gi-hun, this was just one of the ways he did. With the name slip up, the 001 thing, and the right hand thing, I'm surprised Gi-Hun never suspected anything.

Finale took a nose dive in writing quality in my opinion. Randomly sacrificing people after not wanting to even attack the other side, Nobody commenting on that they're now not getting any money at all, somehow everyone forgot to check the pockets in the first place etc. Was just frustrating to watch.
Agree. The plot holes (letting X members die when the lights went off, the players hiding under the beds somehow could move to the middle of the rooms and played dead, and not checking for gun ammo) are hard to watch...
@@thaipham1991 Definitely could have been better written
Also the Xs asking the O members to join them in the revolution and potentially trusting them with guns right after they were at war with one another, and further yet, none of the Os stepping forward to take that opportunity to weild a gun and then turn on them to get their power back? Plus the Os have zero incentive to help with that plan in the first place because they were consenting to being the games and wanted to win the money. The revolt was honestly a disruption to their goals so why do they just stand there in silence and submission accepting it the whole time? Then when a bunch of the Xs leave for the revolt, the Os would have outnumbered the remaining Xs and would have continued the attack and killed them so they would win the next vote and continue the games.
Also in the gun fight, it got stagnant because they all stayed in the same places wasting ammo and getting nowhere for far too long. They should have split 50-50 with half going back to get the magazines, and the other half going onward to find the control room. Then the magazines would have made it back, and there would have been more backup at the staircase near the control room, so they wouldn't have outnumbered by the guards and stuck in the same place for a thousand years. Also those two extra guys with 001 not noticing him ignoring all the guns and ammo on the bodies of the guards on purpose, and not picking it up themselves, right after they had just been without ammo and were freshly conscious of their dire need for weapons and ammo. Anyone would think to be collecting as much of it as they could possibly get.

11 didn't refuse to kill 246, he was not moving. She just realised that he is there at that point
20:25 this made me so mad, he was literally pulled away from her and she was making up an excuse for nothing. Maybe in character it works she's probably done that a lot to explain away his poor behavior so as it doesn't reflect on her, so it was natural for her to make up an excuse vs telling the truth. While we've seen he does not make good decisions that was just heart wrenching when they got back together.
Yea I was pretty pissed off my first time watching it. He was over powered by two men and was forced away. Maybe he didn’t fight hard enough? Not sure why everyone keeps saying he left
Thank you for making this!!
so i watched s2 a few days later. i saw that you had 3 videos out bout s2 and thought nice. i get that you want to get content out as soon as you can bout this stuff and when u notice new stuff put out more videos. but the amount of redundency in all 3 videos is really though. if i were to check back i guess there are some tidbits you said in all 3 videos. watching this back to back is hard
Don't forget front man beating the breaks off of thanos and the junkie and his skills showing for just a moment loved that part lol
Y'all are saying Gi hun shouldve known not to trust 001.. Why? The man that once wore 001 is dead. He doesnt know everyone who's involved either. He was merely a player. Why would he have to be suspicious of another 001 as he thinks everyone is yet another victim of the games.
Because of his name.. almost the same as the old man 001 ,and the way hes too confident in every approach like he knows what's up while everyone looks clueless. And this 001 literally shows everyone he can fight the two bullies while never mentioned his past and nobody ask him where he learn to fight? Bruh
@@izzanirfan2534 Also, he becomes way too suspiciously close to Gi-Hun suddenly. “I trust you, Gi-Hun. Whatever you say is best.” Dude I met you like 10mins ago. What’s your angle?
Also his last name literally means “01”!
The other players: dies horribly
Thanos: *f o r k*
imagine if the mother son duo turns out to be Oh Il Nam's long lost wife and son he mentioned in marbles S1
(I've also seen theories that front man is S1 001's son but I would be disappointed in the scriptwriting if this was the case because the policeman/detective undercover as a guard in S1 should have also recognised 001 as his own dad too)
From S1 there were hints that his son and Gi hun have similarities
21:06 would like to correct you: I believe that’s gimbap （김밥) it’s kinda like a korean sushi i guess, but you don’t need a fork to eat it…. it shows that its done intentionally for the VIPS to watch the action of players killing eachother
To me it felt like in red light green light, Gihun was moving a little too much. Like even though he has his arm over his face you can see him trembling strongly every time he screams, as well as his eyes and mouth moving. To me it felt they were a bit too loose with that scene. Like they should have tried to get him to be more sneaky about it, as if trying to protect his own life at least.
And the sniper POV showed they did have some views from an angle, so hiding behind someone would not always protect you.
I wondered if he was really helping anyone by yelling "hold still!", they already knew they were supposed to be staying still
The snipper can only kill those called out by the controller after scanned by the large doll
@@staceynainlab888no it’s definitely helpful. There’s no one dying in first few rounds and the final deaths less than 100, while in season 1 is 255 people
Yeah I was also thinking that he was moving way too much, but the thing about the angle I don’t agree on. The doll is has the movement sensor and it’s placed directly in front of them, as someone else said the snipers just kill the numbers being called out
Gihun and 001 were never going to die in the games, no matter how it played out.
You are so off on thinking the front man is having a shift in conscience. He is there to do nothing more than test Gi Hun on the true morality of the actions he takes. He is trying to hold up a mirror and show him that they are one and the same when it comes to each decision. Opposite sides of the fence with nobody being victorious in their goals without being the same person morally. He is just mocking him the entire time as he questions the moral aspect that each of Gi Huns righteous efforts, and sees him make morally wrong decisions only because he believes it is for the good, the exact same reason the front man makes the same decisions.
A lot less people died in the Red Light, Green Light challenge than in the first season.
Thats why they are going to repeat it with two dolls
Season 2+3 were filmed back to back I heard. So the story is already told we just haven't found everything out yet. Think of this finale as a mid season finale and it's a break on the season instead of two seasons
Where did you heard that
@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube basically everywhere I look
@@Hahshdhbcbcyoutubethe creator of the show
about guard 011 and player 246. The CPU called out "244." 011 looked through her scope and saw "246." She did a double take to make sure that she didn't shoot the wrong number. However, she immediately recognized him as the father of the girl with blood cancer.
The captain is deffinanlty a vip.
The reason I believe so is not only because of his betrayal but he is close to the same age as oh il nam and says he has been boating these waters for 30 years.
Which is how long ago the squid games started.
He also picked up the officer most likely on orders from the front man.
He also is referred to by management when 011 won't leave the organ donnors alive, the lead square says to her are you worried the captain will find out?
You don't have to worry about that.
Another option is he is the organ buyer or some how involved in the transportation of the organs which is why he was so close to the island
Gi-Hun smiled in the 1st picture
Gi-Hun frowned i. The 2nd picture
Another small detail I would like to point out is the speculation that the Frontman is Il-nam’s son.
In the first season there is a scene in which Il-nam states “You are just like my son he couldn’t drink milk too” which can loosely tied to a scene in the second season where the Frontman gives his milk away because he doesn’t drink it anyways.
This also ties in really well in the sense that we find out, the Frontman is Jun-ho’s stepbrother and not biological brother when his mother states that she loved him even as a stepson. This detail though would be able to let the writers hide the fact (through different last names) that Il-nam and detective Jun-ho are related.
We are also not given much information about his step father so this may fill in that gap.
Just a loose speculation but i thought it was an interesting detail that should be pointed out. The writers included these points for a reason.
I have a small theory that in the six legged race, the frontman purposely messed up until the last minute until the last "save" to gain more trust with Gi-hun.
He did intentionally mess up. He was throwing it with his right hand even tho he’s a lefty. Once he threw it with his left hand he nailed it.
@King_Jumpsh0t I didn't notice that detail at first.
That’s what I think too.
Paul you are the best, I watch every episode and I wish you more blessings in the new year
I think the Frontman infiltrated the games primarily just to put on a show and make it entertaining. I mean that’s literally the entire reason he invited Gi-Hun back in the first place. He also probably just wanted to gain his trust, so if he did try anything, he could easily backstab him.
Hi I'm your commenter Paul thanks for the content!
Just wait until the reveal that the pregnant girl is the daughter of the pink guard…
Isn't the pink guard's child like one year old or something? That's what the broker said to her
The beginning with the food vs lottery ticket thing I found funny. I don't know about Korea, but in America, food is fairly easy to come by for homeless people. Cash to support their habit, not so much. So, if the homeless person is smart, you choose the ticket every time. Plus, stomping on the food would not deter them from eating it.
Interesting fact, gi-hun entered the games again on his birthday
I find it interesting that the Marine Guy, compare the underhand throw was Kim Byung-Hyun is almost the similar name as Lee Byung-Hun (The Front Man) actor and 001.
Ahah I noticed that too 😂😂
6:35 she wasnt tasked with killing 246 the system told her 244
The only scene in this season that traumatized me was when they left with the solider's guns, we see Se-Mi dead and her friend crying over her out of shock and regret for not saving her. I felt so bad for both of them😭💔💔
Crazy she would have survived had the masks intervened or she was able to hold out just a few seconds longer.
If the policemen would have told Gi-Hun that his brother is front-man and would have shown his pic..then this season was gone😂
I FEEL SO DUMB BECAUSE I DID NOT RECOGNISE NUMBER 001 AS THE FRONT MAN SO I GOT SO SHOCKED AT THE END 😭
you're not alone😀
Same I was thinking since the front man died in season 1 that the other front man wouldn’t want to be in the games as they were different people lol
@Wenegadewaider1111 the front man didn't die in S1. The old guy was the "host", not the "front man".
@@danielcrunden5578 yeah the owner of the games or whatever also yes 001 died because of the brain tumor remember when they were looking at the homeless guy
@Wenegadewaider1111 yes i am aware the old man died, which is why I said he isn't the "front man", he is the "host" who couldn't join the other VIPs.
The "front man" is the same person in series 1 and 2.
Just my opinion but I found it difficult to absorb the information when you're speaking so fast and not taking any pauses in between points.
I just really hope everyone watched it in Korean with subtitles it was so much better
I don't want the Front Man to have a redemption arc.
Also, there's an overhead shot of a chandelier in one episode, which reminded me of the suspended piggy bank.
I would really enjoy playing the six-legged race.............if my life wasn't on the line. In any other situation, it looks like fun. It's incredibly unfair though. Look at Gi-Hun's team for instance, three of them did their mini games perfectly in one try but all could have died because one person fumbled with the spinning top. In a context of playing for fun I'd be cool with that, but when their very lives are at stake it highlights the injustice of it
Isn’t Gi-Hun birthday October 31st? I remember that from season 1.
Yes!
Omg, this was a great analysis.
I'm just sad my babe 380 got killed
