The wife who died, likely she sacrificed herself for her husband because he has a better chance at winning. However he suffered from survivor's guilt and killed himself.
That's the best scenario everyone hopes, no one wants to believe that they were competitive on each others. But the fact they didn't show anything pissed me off. Maybe even the writer did not think of it :))
The reason I feel like the VIPs talk like they're dubbed, even though they're speaking natively in English, is because that's what English speakers probably sound like to Koreans.
But as the players, once you see that the paintings are showing the games that you have played, wouldn't you put two and two together and start looking around the room for the other paintings? It's not like the players weren't already moving the beds around to form their fortresses or knocking them over during the "purge".
@@ThePlishPlosh To be fair even if we knew the games, some of them still had the human factor.......meaning someone else can f@ck you up even if you are 100% prepared.
@@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483 true, but they made it a point in games 2 and 3 that knowing the game was a huge advantage (sangwoo choosing an easy shape and the doctor knowing tug of war), so it's kind of illogical that no one at least tried. It's kind of my main problem with the show where it's style over substance, while the set design is beautiful, it kind of doesn't make sense in universe. Like why would the creators of the game risk revealing the games by having them painted on the wall?
@@ThePlishPlosh How many people do you think really noticed or paid attention to the walls? They were way to busy trying not to get murdered by the other players or they are just out playing or its night time and its dark. If you noticed, barely anyone had the chance to properly pay attention to the walls.
@@Maya_hee the fact that nobody took the time to notice the walls is what the show needs you to believe in order for this to make sense. The killings only happened after lights out, there was plenty of time during meal times/before lights out for any of the participants to look at the walls. They weren't spending every waking second in the dark trying not to get killed. The show needs you to make this leap in logic that none of the participants noticed the walls during their 5-6 days they spent in there, yet have time to build fortresses and get to know each other's names and stuff. If we as the audience could notice the paintings with the limited camera angles and like 2-3 hours of time we watched them in the room, how are we to believe and accept that none of the 100s of participants who were actually in the room for multiple days didn't notice the paintings either?
@@a.j.1819 don't get me wrong i loved Ali. He was one of my favorite characters. But some people were mad because they said Ali was "Angelic". To me, "Angelic" = naive; sweet summer child; stupid.
It's never explicitly stated that only one person gets to win - it's actually heavily implied to the contestants that multiple people can win and share the prize pool (only when the officer finds the old records does the audience even know that only one person can win). So Ali is probably thinking the whole time that he can get out with Sangwoo, Gihun etc. I know personally that I was hoping beyond hope that they could both make it, and it only takes a moment of weakness to get outplayed.
Good point I never thought about that. Sheera and I were just tryna figure out why the married couple would return to a death game together….but they absolutely never said only one person can win 🤔
I don't know but to me from the beginning, it's obvious that there's only one winner. They did mention in ep 2 that "The total prize for winner is 45,6 bil..". The "total prize" is different from the "maximum prize", right? So it means there can only be one winner. It really annoyes me a lot that the players keep telling each others to share the prize etc... I believe there's no implication that multiple people can win
@@tranductinh2742 On the first episode, squid game was played by 2 opposing teams not just a 1 on 1. That could be a hint that multiple people winning is possible. But nonetheless, you still need to survive all days, nights, games which would drastically make a 1 on 1 more probable than a team vs team
which is quite surprisingly to me that no one asked at the start ' how many winners can win this money? '. that's like the basic question you would want to know before playing these kind of games
@@tranductinh2742 I mean, when multiple people win a million dollar lottery, the prize pool is automatically split between them. Also there are 456 players which means that the 4.56 billion won prize includes the amount of money that would’ve gone into the big piggybank if every single player gets eliminated. So if we’re going by total rather than maximum, then it would mean that no matter what, the top prize will be an amount of money that equates to the death and elimination of everyone with no survivors, so this point gives more evidence towards there being no winner rather than there only needing to be a single winner.
@@Kasrhael Maybe but I’m pretty sure he was recording stuff too or at least I thought so. I thought that was the reason for his button being messed up. Other wise that would make sense
Broke: The Sheeragan hasn’t been working Woke: Sheera has been passing it between her, Roshi, and Lupa to awaken her Mangekyou. They will have the most accurate predictions on the platform.
Is this a first watch through ⁉️ because it seems like since like episode 2 ya seen these episodes ahead of time and making prefix that clearly end up becoming true 🙄 I assumed ya were seeing this the 1st time like the rest of us and we watching to see your first time reactions also. If you’ve already seen it tho then these reaction videos and predictions aren’t predictions since you’re just giving away the upcoming spoils. It seems like ya seeing it fir the first time with the awe and wow but then since like ep 2-3 ya been making predictions that clearly became true from someone who’s seen the series already. So this isn’t reactions to a 1st time watch but pretend faux reactions Just my observation. Ya predicted rocks in Ali bags , the old man not being dead , things on the walls ahead of time, and countless other stuff someone wouldn’t figure out on a 1st time view.
@@mikemartins3297 i quickly figured out the old man episode 2. I was onto him since then. Its a korean drama tv show...these are the formulas they follow. Everyone could have predicted Ali being tricked, thats not even a twist. It was spelled out for you as it was being done. If you didnt notice it when you were first watching thats fine, but some people like watching shows and being able to guess what comes next accurately
@@mikemartins3297 rocks in Ali's bag is obvious thing, what else could have been there? About old man being alive also isn't that hard to predict, they didn't show us his dead body
The VIPs were the most cringe and disturbing part of the entire series cannot even cap especially with where the old man VIP took off his rope and tried to have the detective give him head.
I’m pretty sure the VIPs mirrors us audience viewing the show as we’re just seeing ppl die for entertainment like them. So the cringe acting was intentional
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas Definitely wasn’t the point. Even when they aren’t being creepy their acting is just awful. They have some of the worst dialogue, the last episode is just them explaining what’s happening through poor acting and exposition.
The director was saying that sang woos character was the epitome of selfishness, he’s an individual who wants to believe he won because he is smart. He never wanted to face his consequences and even when he gave Ali the money he wanted to be superior, in the way that he was better than everyone because he’s “smarter” a white collar criminal with an ego.
@Dreamz There's a leftist counterculture in South Korea of which the director is a part of along with other famous directors like Bong Joon Ho. These people have a very black and white view of all things. They will look at people like SangWoo and deconstruct all of their actions to make them seem completely rotten whereas people like you and me will look at SangWoo and see a privileged person just trying to be kind, not to feel "superior".
@Dreamz "He seemed like he had high expectations to live up to and when backed against the wall he would do whatever it took to survive." Lmaoo, he committed fraud with his clients money, based on his bg and job, it seemed like he was well off but became greedy, made his mother homeless and then after coming here had his eyes on the entire prize and went and murdered his friends to get to it.
@Dreamz yeah! The part especially with Ali and the money it was seen as a good deed but at the same time a peak into the character of sangwoo it was really interesting !! I guess everyone envisions it differently depending on their situation - he even said that the marble game was meant to portray that no one was purely good :)
@@Maya_hee THIS!!! I had a conversation with someone and they proceeded to tell me that sang woo was a good guy that was playing smart. Sang woo is not a good guy my mans is wanted for fraud and embezzlement, made his mama homeless
@@switchgear1379 Thats why I was annoyed at the protagonist thinking he was a saint, like he also has blood in his hands. All I can say is Sang-Woo is a very smart person, didn't trust anybody, didn't tell his knowledge of the games, never interfered his own thinking with emotion. He wasn't a villain, he was a survivor. Too bad his best friend guilt tripped him to his death. One is an optimistic naive person while the other a calculating realism type of guy. Black and white is really the worst type of sterotype to add in a series or any story.
0:46 "According to the CDC, it only takes approximately 2 seconds to check the bag for fuckery" 😭😭😭 that threw me out dude. Threw me out, took my money and left me homeless.
@@bellion9143 ahaha, great minds think alike, there are many possible strats (Sitting down and stretching the leg to test it, other strats too) but the best one is the monkey bar, lol yea
shutting off the light really does contradict the "fair for all" rule, because in other games they can use whatever they can (physical advantage) and here he can't use his knowledge in glass.
You know I complained out loud that the glass that wound up in Sae-Byeok was unfair. Her not getting medical attention urked me but hey, I'm not a writer of a good korean show I can't say nun.
I think he did it because the VIP's were complaining that it was boring that way. And we dont know what they would do to him if they were bored at these last games. I think we was scared or something
@@donovanwilburn4182 Once the VIPs came into the picture, the rules were twisted to raise the stakes and keep the game more entertaining for them. I'm guessing that's why "the free and fair rule" was thrown to the side, and medical assistance wasn't given to our girl and the lights were turned off midgame. And given the fact that there was an intruder on the loose, Front Man was probably desperate to keep VIPs attention invested in the game.
@@TheBomberman122vast majority of the time the writing is fine and the individual just either doesn’t understand or care to understand. So instead of saying it’s not for them they have to just say it’s “bad”
@@Manthathasspiderlikepowers so how far does it go ? What defines bad writing ? By that logic nothing is bad or good because there is still a chance of even one person liking the worst writing.
@@ThePenpachi I didn't even notice his hands in first watch lol, same thing for the drawings on the wall, aaand same for the last ep when the card says: "from your gambu*" 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I only started to see the details when I rewatched the show multiple times with reactors lol The first watch was sooo intense that I wasn't paying attention to any details/hints, maybe also because I binged it all at once so my brain was a little tired or maybe because I blinked or yawned in those scenes :') lol
*Ali was not meant to be in a game like this, HES to pure, which makes his fate more tragic then anyone else who came in this game to do WHATEVER they had too*
Yeah, people don't need to be so mad at them for being frustrated at Ali but for me I'm only upset because they didn't show sympathy for Ali and they were insulting the crap outta him (which makes me rightfully defensive) Maybe I'm just that sensitive but that was my only problem with that reaction, aside from that not everyone is gonna react the way we want them to. It's also fine to share our opinions on their reaction. That's how a UA-cam community works 👍
I feel you. I didn't need a full on breakdown of how their reaction was more how they dealt with the frustration, but that's because I've been here for a while. There may be people who just came to the channel to watch them watch this, and for them, the extra perspective might have been needed. Personally, I was already too worked by that episode to be quippy at the end, but that's just me.
Also calling everyone "clowns" wasn't the most clever thing to do, like they're your audience bro, they're always going to point things out, just calm down and explain your point, showing some comprehension to different perspectives lol ✨
I feel u. I just didn't like how they just insulted Ali like he gave away 42.something billion for nothing when in reality, he was just being a genuinely good & honest person. That's the price of being a good person in a dark place, don't let Naruto fool you.
@@ninahopkins1658 I get that too but I always watch their streams and we clown on each other on there so it's all good with me lol but I see what you mean
Regarding the VIP’s, I don’t even mark that against squid game for hiring such bad actors cause some of these country’s fr be thinking that’s how the stereotypical american/european acts lmfao
I don't know if you know this but white Americans are stereotypical by default. Ask them simple questions about literally anything and well... you'll see.
tbh i think that sang woo using his past generosity to fool ali, and the fact that he let ali call him hyung (which is a term guys use to call older men or men they're close to, which i doubt ali has in korea) was what made ali break, and as sad as i was seeing him go 😭😭 i could see how people would def do what sang woo did if u were able to be successfully be friendly with someone and bamboozle them completely. its just sad cuz ali felt like he finally belonged esp when sang woo let him change the formalities of the honorifics ali uses on him so this betrayal sucks ass 😭😭😭😭 edit: to add, i think ali is used to seeing sang woo outsmart a game so he rlly thought both of them could live this round but its the same outsmarting strategy that got him killed so double OOF
yeah, i think sangwoo used his past generosity to fool ali, but that doesn't mean it was fake. i think at the end of the day, sangwoo did genuinely care (the bus, letting him call him hyung, even the face he made when ali got shot), however: no matter how much he cared about ali at the time, it wasn't worth losing his own life over. and you bring a great point, sangwoo had been outsmarting the games since the first round (when he gave gi hun tip to hide behind people in red/green light), so ali must have really believed sangwoos plan.
I actually didn't mind that the VIPs acting sucked ass tbh. There are probably a multitude of factors for it (eg - filming during a pandemic in S.K, writing problems due to language differences, etc). I think it works in showing that the VIPs are off-putting, strange and so elitist. They have their heads in the clouds and watch people die in a capitalist murder game. I think their poor delivery, intentional or not, actually worked in the shows favour. We're meant to find the characters disingenuous. Idk feel free to disagree.
I agree, also I think it’s to match the Korean acting style. American, Hispanic, Asian, German acting have a different style. Some more over the top than others. I remember the first time I watched a Japanese movie I thought the acting was too much, now I’m used to it and expect it (and love it, in fact). I grew up watching Hispanic movies and when I started watching American movies I thought American acting was too serious and “quiet”. Now, I’m a man of culture and enjoy many different nationality shows.
To me they were like typical over the top comic book villains, which I personally don’t mind because I love comic books and manga so I wasn’t that put off by it
The thing about Ali is he was shown kindness for probably the first time ever in a foreign place so he really didnt want to let him die, i think he really trusted him with his life and he wanted them to both make it. But that doesnt not make him a fool just dont shit on him too much
@@claudegrenier3180 It's the words they're using that are the problem. Saying that he was trusting, gullible, and naïve versus he was a dumbfuck have two different connotations.
@@bmgfrosty7089 But we've established that there are ways to look out for people, and we've established that alliances can exist. And in the marble game, it's logical to think that you could challenge other teams 20 marbles vs 20 marbles if they also agree. And Ali thought he had an alliance with Sang Woo because of their past teamwork and had no reason to think he was gonna get betrayed. Everything he did was rational
Editor-san speaking straight facts at the start. My mans Ali was way too trusting and its funny that Sangwoo lying to Ali gets him hated while Gihun doing the same thing to Il-nam isn't seen the same way just because he was visibly showing his guilt lol. They were doing the same thing in the end, only difference was Il-nam was just playing dumb while Ali was ACTUALLY being dumb.
It’s not only a matter of guilt and remorse involved such as someone actually showing that they feel bad for what they did but you can’t really blame gihun given how he thought this man was done for mentally wise so tricking him and put him out of his misery wasn’t the worst thing as opposed to him dying right now and this old man dying later on.
exactly. theres a difference between trusting/loyal and being straight up naive/gullible. being trusting suggests you have some sort of awareness for when someone is acting suspiciously, but being naive is trusting in someone and being completely blind to all the red flags they give off
The meals that the participants ate are the retro-style meal of Koreans. There are many many details that only can be understood by middle-aged or elderly Koreans.
@@dwolfe2907 In an earlier episode the participants ate a boiled egg and with sprite, a popular (but shitty lol) meal you eat on the subway in South Korea
Lmao, when players were choosing number, sheera was spamming "GO PICK NUMBER 1!" And then was SILENCED after knowing the risk of picking the 1st number😂lolll
I just think that some people can’t help but be themselves under any circumstance. Ali never stopped being himself and in ep 9, you’ll understand that more.
editor should have paid attention to the way Ali was changing his way to talk Sangwoo, he stopped talking formally to saying "hyung" (close friends-older brother for males), he was fully trusting him, and sangwoo betrayed him. remember that sangwoo always helped them out with advices so he really believe him that they could live both of them. sangwoo was always portrayed as a smart man, so Ali thought that what he was saying could work. even when the crazy woman was being a piece of shit, they were protecting them so Ali never imagined being betrayed like this. (remember sangwoo even said sorry minutes ago, so Ali thought everything was ok). before calling someone else a clown for trying to explain something different, pay attention. Ali wasn't dumb, he trusted sangwoo.
That doesn’t change anything tho. Yes him believing that Sang woo was a close friend/older brother rationalizes his decisions after that but it’s still dumb that he came to view Sang woo like that in the first place, at least in the context of the games. You’re saying he’s not dumb, he just trusted him but the dumb thing was to trust him
@@kingdragmire5082 I think you're also forgetting that he is an immigrant in a foreign country. Sangwoo literally helped him explain most of the games and the fact that he is an immigrant means that he is taken advantage of a lot (like his boss) and bullied, experienced racism, etc., so when Sangwoo showed him kindness by giving him the bus fare and in the games, Ali trusted him because he doesn't get that a lot as an immigrant. It's surface-level judgement to just say that he was dumb for naively trusting Sangwoo when we the viewers picked up on the red signs from looking at the big picture and each of their backstories. It's a deeper meaning showing how immigrants are always taken advantage of once they start to trust someone (and it's also relating to his kind character that in the context of these games, being nice will get you killed instantly, so Ali was already fucked from the start but he honestly wouldn't have made it this far if it was not for Sangwoo, thus, he is the person he would least expect to betray him since he has helped and shown him kindness in an unfamiliar setting; also noting the fact that he called him "brother/friend" when addressing him instead of "sir" like from the beginning).
Ali is a lot like the Starks from GoT -- they are so focused on following principles and honor, they don't realize they're in a game where all of that is a liability. It's not that he's dumb, it's that Ali is in a death game where bottom line ... there can only be one winner, and Ali forgot about that because he trusted his allies.
the thing is, the starks had a lot of time to figure that one out and came out winning in GoT. all ali got is a bag of marbles and a bullet on his head once the timer ran out.
@@juuberries but ali was also getting taken advantage of by his employer, so he should've had the lesson down by now. he lost fingers & 6 months of wages bc of his blind faith only to end up dying for the same mistake. u can be both kind & smart or kind & naive, ali was the latter.
Ali didn't know there could only be one winner. None of them knew. They were all led to believe that, whoever survives all 6 games gets to split the prize money. WE the audience knows about this bc we saw the cop pull out the winner's list, but that doesn't mean they players knew.
The thing is not everybody is going to be cut throat in the killing game, that's the whole point of Ali's character. He was too sweet of a man and that's what got him killed, that was his flaw. You can't be mad when a character's ending is in character for them.
i think there's something wrong with me....with the glass platform game....the first idea i had in mind was this : just kill the person with the number before you....tie your jersey to his corpse....swing his corpse on the next platforms to check them....if it breaks....just pull the corpse back up and you can just continue on with the corpse since the stable platforms can hold upto 2 people... i clearly am not normal...as this was the first thought that came to my mind....
If you were playing hypothetically and that was allowed, it worked, and you won, then your actions may have been immoral, but since you won and you were allowed to get to the other side, only you can judge whether your actions were "right" or not, not other people
@@wemustconquer3510 tf ??? there is NO morality in this entire concept that if someone else dies the prize money increases....it just motivates the others to kill more people to kill others so they can get more money and live a better off life
They said in the beginning that if they all vote to leave the money will go to the families of the deceased. So if the husband votes to leave does he get paid for his dead wife? That'd be fucked up.
Though I understand being frustrated at Ali, it's unfair to disparage him in that situation. Ali comes off as unintelligent in the show but a good portion of that has to due with the fact that he's not Korean so there's a language barrier. There's multiple instances where the show displays this. He asked what a circle was, he didn't know what certain games were and he asked what even and odd is. This wasn't because he didn't know what those concept was it's because he didn't recognize what the Korean words for that was. You say forming bonds in a death game is counterproductive. This is true. But almost everybody in the main cast formed a bond. Shit the audience formed a bond and we're not even the ones going through the traumatic experiences. Sang-Woo helped Ali inside and outside the game and greatly respected him. When Sang-Woo was begging Ali was apologizing because Ali had to think of his own family. It's not like Ali immediately gave in to Sang-Woo without thinking of his own priorities. At the end of the day Sang-Woo used Ali against himself. He knew Ali had trust and respect for him, he knew Ali is a foreigner that isn't completely familiar with Korean language and culture. And with that he was able to convince Ali that the game may work differently than it seems.
I mean it's not like he playing video games there lol He literally only open note, take pictures and record some video. Ain't nothing gonna drain the battery
im sorry but them laughing everytime someone fell through had me dying! I didn’t laugh at that part originally but it was the fact that they were like “he fell ankle first” while cackling that was so messed up that it was hilarious 😭🤣💀
Not surprising considering this is a Korean show. It’s probably the same for any show or movie with foreign language/actors being incorporated into it.
@Aces Pepple are saying their acting and dialogue is cringe and you think that’s the point? They’re just bad actors, you can hate someone and still think their acting is good.
A lot of people give the husband flack for wanting to quit and say it was a dumb move. But it was actually a brilliant move on his part. Lets recall what occurs when majority of players quit as shown in episode 2. If the majority of players vote to quit and end the games; the games are suspended and the living players leave with no prize money, but and this is a very important but, the prize money is split up and divided and given to all the families of the deceased players. Now what is Player 69's wife? She's a deceased player isn't she? Had he been able to convince the majority of players to leave he would have gotten some prize money for their family due to his wife having died. He also could have countered Sang-Woo and the group by making the case that the games would only be suspended and all of you could return and resume playing.
Sang Woo did what he had to do. I've been afraid to tweet this but here seems like a safe place EDIT: I still think Ali didn't deserve to die like that and my ass cried. But in that situation Sang Woo did what needed to be done for him to be with his mommy AND OUT OF DEBT
The actor is also very much alive! “Ali” shows up a lot as an extra and supporting character in a lot of K-dramas. Even Arthdal Chronicles as a shop vendor, if I am not mistaken? And yes, They Were There The Whole Time. The bunks were in the way.
Really?? I don't see how the other VIPs hint at anything? All that question shows is that the other 5 were watching the games through screen from their locations.
@@blueblade6174 They dont know number 001's face. All VIPS meet but literally have masks to protect their identity. But i think the "gamemaster" dont wanna risk it. So i guess having them watch the first few games from afar can atleast have a leeway for footage to be manipulated. But i think it doesnt matter since vips only sees them as numbers.
Editor really out here catching all these clowns in 4k HD while hitting them with simple common sense. THE DAMN INTRO HASNT EVEN STARTED YET GODDAMN LMAOOO
i seriously applaud roshi for noticing the murals of the games on the wall i didn’t the first time i watched it now im paying attention for more hidden details good eye roshi
The only thing is that Ali needed the money for his family, he trusted everyone, even his boss who betrayed him by not giving him money. He was a foreigner, so he had some hard times in some areas, so depending on others and having his character traits were kinda necessary. He called Sangwoo “hyung” which means older brother, because Sangwoo meant a lot to him (gave him his phone for a phone call, a bus ride, and food) and that meant a lot to him, so Ali stopping calling him “ajeossi” which means sir (in some cases, because Sangwoo told him to stop calling him that anymore) to “hyung”. He was just too trusting and nice for this world (saved Gihun in the first round without thinking or knowing the guy), which is why when Ali didn’t know some of the games, Sangwoo took that chance to manipulate him and Ali took that chance trusting him, because they were a team. It sucked seeing this episode and all those characters go, but…”In Sangwoo we don’t trust”…
The thing that pissed me off the most about Ali is that after Sang Woo was about to lose he snapped and called him a lying cheater and only stopped because the guard threatened to kill him, and then Ali acted like that didn't happen. That was the point when I stopped feeling bad for him
I think that scene made Ali made believe Sang-woo more because he took it as him freaking out as desperation for his life and felt bad, especially considering he looked up to Sang-woo. I still felt bad for him because he's a honest good person who couldn't overcome his nature and morality when he needed to. In a life-threatening competition; the one who is willing to kill is going to triumph over the one who desires the opposite. Don't let Naruto fool you.
Ali wasnt dumb, and it makes sense that he got betrayed because he had full trust on Sang-woo, who was the first korean person to treat him like a friend. Dont forget that he was a foreigner in a country full of strangers, and he was getting screwed hard by his korean boss at work. The man not just got treated like a slave and not paid for the work he was putting in that place, but also lost his fingers there as well. No one was helping him anywhere. Until Sang-woo gave him money for the bus, invited him into the team, protected and helped each other, and Sang even told Ali to not call him "sir" so he would feel equal to him. So yeah, even in that short time, Sang was Ali's best friend in that whole country, and the brain of the team as well, so of course Ali chose to believe everything Sang told him. But it is unclear if Sang really saw Ali as a friend or if he was just manipulating Ali the whole time.
i think sang woo def saw capacity in ali that he deliberately chose to exploit it cuz ali ended up trusting sang woo too much and knew he'd believe sang woo's words cuz he's smart like gi hun always preach about, and he def will get both of them out of there but alas...
AYoo, Sheera kept saying pick no. 1, definitely didnt wanna change to the last, and suddenly after she finds out, "Yeah, didnt I tell u that It will have something with falling" "Told u should go last", The opinion suddenly changed after finding out the competition?? If u were there, u would have been the first to go lol, At least stick with ur predictions. I am not saying this in a mean way, but if u will act smart, stick with it to the end
Yup, the phone placement. In the previous episode, when the detective put the phone down, I rewound to look at how the phone was positioned before he picked it up and knew the difference would come back to bite him later. Well I didn’t actually know, since it could’ve just been ignored but sneaking around always leads to tiny details being noticed by the bad guy.
You know Try to rewatch episode 6 Listen to the rule They only said "Using your marble, you need to obtain 10 of your partner marble" The rule never state 20, they only said obtain 10 of your partner marble So in order for both to win, all they had to do is exchange their pouch, so both have all 10 of their partner marble using their marble. In a way, Sang Woo was right, both him and Ali can survive the game And if you look closely to the painting, the marble game shown both side exchange pouch So marble game only troll you to kill each other.
fr, this whole show was about who came out last. If you didn't peep that during the first ep then you are delusional to think that there would have been more than one winner. Ali is who you would want as a friend in real life but in a game where you literally have to kill people to win, obviously loyalty and kindness wasn't going to win the damn game, you can only protect those you care about in this game to a certain point. Sangwoo was the most realistic which many fail to realize especially if you have a reason to win that money.
So I know you guys are done the show, but just in case you watch other subtitle shows and didn't know - There are more options than just the default CC option. There's also a straight ENG sub so you don't have the sound effects subtitled on the screen as well.
The detective played Hitman (2016) 1, 2, and 3 right before going to the island. It's too bad the VIPs didn't have full body costumes, then he could have gone deeper into their network.
The way he groveled and begged and accused Ali of cheating. That is why I sympathize with Ali. Sang Woo has no honor and it just shows how low people are willing to go when capitalism has you by the balls.
I’d do the same, it’s life or death not about money. I would feel horrible afterwords and carry that the rest of my life but I have a family to protect and in the end he’s a stranger and I need to protect my family and providen

The wife who died, likely she sacrificed herself for her husband because he has a better chance at winning. However he suffered from survivor's guilt and killed himself.
Pretty much
I would’ve just had them shoot me and my wife no way I’m leaving her or me alive 🤷🏽♂️
That's the best scenario everyone hopes, no one wants to believe that they were competitive on each others.
But the fact they didn't show anything pissed me off. Maybe even the writer did not think of it :))
I don’t why you have to explain this to them lmfao that is so obvious
exactly
The reason I feel like the VIPs talk like they're dubbed, even though they're speaking natively in English, is because that's what English speakers probably sound like to Koreans.
It's so exaggerated lmao
Yeah. I noticed it, and I figured that those actors were told (or just know) to slow down in for the sake of the Korean audience.
Bunch of “Golly Gee Wilikers!” sounding mfs 🤣
They sound like they were randomly picked off the streets, even my korean parents think they ruined the show.
Cant fly in actors to shoot in korea durin the pandemic … gotta use what’s around lol
Keep in mind, the beds were hiding all of the art on the walls..... as people die they move the beds, so voila, you see the paintings
But as the players, once you see that the paintings are showing the games that you have played, wouldn't you put two and two together and start looking around the room for the other paintings? It's not like the players weren't already moving the beds around to form their fortresses or knocking them over during the "purge".
@@ThePlishPlosh To be fair even if we knew the games, some of them still had the human factor.......meaning someone else can f@ck you up even if you are 100% prepared.
@@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483 true, but they made it a point in games 2 and 3 that knowing the game was a huge advantage (sangwoo choosing an easy shape and the doctor knowing tug of war), so it's kind of illogical that no one at least tried. It's kind of my main problem with the show where it's style over substance, while the set design is beautiful, it kind of doesn't make sense in universe. Like why would the creators of the game risk revealing the games by having them painted on the wall?
@@ThePlishPlosh How many people do you think really noticed or paid attention to the walls? They were way to busy trying not to get murdered by the other players or they are just out playing or its night time and its dark. If you noticed, barely anyone had the chance to properly pay attention to the walls.
@@Maya_hee the fact that nobody took the time to notice the walls is what the show needs you to believe in order for this to make sense. The killings only happened after lights out, there was plenty of time during meal times/before lights out for any of the participants to look at the walls. They weren't spending every waking second in the dark trying not to get killed. The show needs you to make this leap in logic that none of the participants noticed the walls during their 5-6 days they spent in there, yet have time to build fortresses and get to know each other's names and stuff. If we as the audience could notice the paintings with the limited camera angles and like 2-3 hours of time we watched them in the room, how are we to believe and accept that none of the 100s of participants who were actually in the room for multiple days didn't notice the paintings either?
no matter how dumb you think Ali is, just remember that he chose to save the right person in the first episode
yea and it was fcking stupid of him. Lmao this place full of gamblers and murderers. What do you expect?
@@Predestinated1 Now how the fuck was he supposed to know there were murderers in there ? And a gambler is not neccessarily a bad person, Gihun isn't.
@@a.j.1819 don't get me wrong i loved Ali. He was one of my favorite characters.
But some people were mad because they said Ali was "Angelic".
To me, "Angelic" = naive; sweet summer child; stupid.
I love Ali, he is angelic, extremely naive and my favorite sunlight.
That foreign boy had a soul too pure and beautiful for this harsh world.
Because mc got the ✨plot armour✨
It's never explicitly stated that only one person gets to win - it's actually heavily implied to the contestants that multiple people can win and share the prize pool (only when the officer finds the old records does the audience even know that only one person can win). So Ali is probably thinking the whole time that he can get out with Sangwoo, Gihun etc. I know personally that I was hoping beyond hope that they could both make it, and it only takes a moment of weakness to get outplayed.
Good point I never thought about that. Sheera and I were just tryna figure out why the married couple would return to a death game together….but they absolutely never said only one person can win 🤔
I don't know but to me from the beginning, it's obvious that there's only one winner. They did mention in ep 2 that "The total prize for winner is 45,6 bil..". The "total prize" is different from the "maximum prize", right?
So it means there can only be one winner. It really annoyes me a lot that the players keep telling each others to share the prize etc...
I believe there's no implication that multiple people can win
@@tranductinh2742 On the first episode, squid game was played by 2 opposing teams not just a 1 on 1. That could be a hint that multiple people winning is possible. But nonetheless, you still need to survive all days, nights, games which would drastically make a 1 on 1 more probable than a team vs team
which is quite surprisingly to me that no one asked at the start ' how many winners can win this money? '. that's like the basic question you would want to know before playing these kind of games
@@tranductinh2742 I mean, when multiple people win a million dollar lottery, the prize pool is automatically split between them. Also there are 456 players which means that the 4.56 billion won prize includes the amount of money that would’ve gone into the big piggybank if every single player gets eliminated. So if we’re going by total rather than maximum, then it would mean that no matter what, the top prize will be an amount of money that equates to the death and elimination of everyone with no survivors, so this point gives more evidence towards there being no winner rather than there only needing to be a single winner.

Is this a first watch through ⁉️ because it seems like since like episode 2 ya seen these episodes ahead of time and making prefix that clearly end up becoming true 🙄
I assumed ya were seeing this the 1st time like the rest of us and we watching to see your first time reactions also.
If you’ve already seen it tho then these reaction videos and predictions aren’t predictions since you’re just giving away the upcoming spoils.
It seems like ya seeing it fir the first time with the awe and wow but then since like ep 2-3 ya been making predictions that clearly became true from someone who’s seen the series already. So this isn’t reactions to a 1st time watch but pretend faux reactions
Just my observation. Ya predicted rocks in Ali bags , the old man not being dead , things on the walls ahead of time, and countless other stuff someone wouldn’t figure out on a 1st time view.
@@mikemartins3297 who you talking to?
@@mikemartins3297 i quickly figured out the old man episode 2. I was onto him since then. Its a korean drama tv show...these are the formulas they follow.
Everyone could have predicted Ali being tricked, thats not even a twist. It was spelled out for you as it was being done.
If you didnt notice it when you were first watching thats fine, but some people like watching shows and being able to guess what comes next accurately
@@mikemartins3297 rocks in Ali's bag is obvious thing, what else could have been there? About old man being alive also isn't that hard to predict, they didn't show us his dead body
The VIPs were the most cringe and disturbing part of the entire series cannot even cap especially with where the old man VIP took off his rope and tried to have the detective give him head.
They are the "elites", what do you expect?
I’m pretty sure the VIPs mirrors us audience viewing the show as we’re just seeing ppl die for entertainment like them. So the cringe acting was intentional
@@FakeWeeb Or they mirror what the ACTUAL elites do in their freetime.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas finally someone gets it
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas Definitely wasn’t the point. Even when they aren’t being creepy their acting is just awful.
They have some of the worst dialogue, the last episode is just them explaining what’s happening through poor acting and exposition.
The director was saying that sang woos character was the epitome of selfishness, he’s an individual who wants to believe he won because he is smart. He never wanted to face his consequences and even when he gave Ali the money he wanted to be superior, in the way that he was better than everyone because he’s “smarter” a white collar criminal with an ego.
@Dreamz There's a leftist counterculture in South Korea of which the director is a part of along with other famous directors like Bong Joon Ho. These people have a very black and white view of all things. They will look at people like SangWoo and deconstruct all of their actions to make them seem completely rotten whereas people like you and me will look at SangWoo and see a privileged person just trying to be kind, not to feel "superior".
@Dreamz "He seemed like he had high expectations to live up to and when backed against the wall he would do whatever it took to survive."
Lmaoo, he committed fraud with his clients money, based on his bg and job, it seemed like he was well off but became greedy, made his mother homeless and then after coming here had his eyes on the entire prize and went and murdered his friends to get to it.
@Dreamz yeah! The part especially with Ali and the money it was seen as a good deed but at the same time a peak into the character of sangwoo it was really interesting !! I guess everyone envisions it differently depending on their situation - he even said that the marble game was meant to portray that no one was purely good :)
@@Maya_hee THIS!!! I had a conversation with someone and they proceeded to tell me that sang woo was a good guy that was playing smart. Sang woo is not a good guy my mans is wanted for fraud and embezzlement, made his mama homeless
@@switchgear1379 Thats why I was annoyed at the protagonist thinking he was a saint, like he also has blood in his hands. All I can say is Sang-Woo is a very smart person, didn't trust anybody, didn't tell his knowledge of the games, never interfered his own thinking with emotion. He wasn't a villain, he was a survivor. Too bad his best friend guilt tripped him to his death. One is an optimistic naive person while the other a calculating realism type of guy. Black and white is really the worst type of sterotype to add in a series or any story.

Fifth game in a nutshell:
Players in the back: pls guess which glass is correct!
Player in front: *guess I'll die*
This episode/game was nuts. Like Imagine going first in the top 3. You literally have a 0% chance. Instant despair
they shoulda monkey barred/climbed the middle bar
@@IIIISai lmaooo that's what I was thinking
@@bellion9143 ahaha, great minds think alike, there are many possible strats (Sitting down and stretching the leg to test it, other strats too) but the best one is the monkey bar, lol yea
Well not a 0% chance bc it is possible to get it right on the first time it’s just soooooooo extremely unlikely
@@IIIISai only counter I can think is Soldiers would shoot you for cheating
shutting off the light really does contradict the "fair for all" rule, because in other games they can use whatever they can (physical advantage) and here he can't use his knowledge in glass.
Yea that was some bs
You know I complained out loud that the glass that wound up in Sae-Byeok was unfair. Her not getting medical attention urked me but hey, I'm not a writer of a good korean show I can't say nun.
I think he did it because the VIP's were complaining that it was boring that way. And we dont know what they would do to him if they were bored at these last games. I think we was scared or something
@@kayanono Ya know, I also thought that. Like most of Front Man's reason for turning off the lights was to entertain these elitist VIP.
@@donovanwilburn4182 Once the VIPs came into the picture, the rules were twisted to raise the stakes and keep the game more entertaining for them. I'm guessing that's why "the free and fair rule" was thrown to the side, and medical assistance wasn't given to our girl and the lights were turned off midgame. And given the fact that there was an intruder on the loose, Front Man was probably desperate to keep VIPs attention invested in the game.
When you get immersed into the movie and you start to love/hate a character, that means the movie is outstanding.
You mean either the actor or the writing for that character is good. Movie can still be 💩.
Thats not always true, you can hate a character because they're written poorly in a poorly written movie lol
@@TheBomberman122vast majority of the time the writing is fine and the individual just either doesn’t understand or care to understand. So instead of saying it’s not for them they have to just say it’s “bad”
@@Manthathasspiderlikepowers so how far does it go ? What defines bad writing ? By that logic nothing is bad or good because there is still a chance of even one person liking the worst writing.

“who tf is that, Loki” .. shit had me dying for like 5 minutes 😭😭
Time stamp
Yeah, people don't need to be so mad at them for being frustrated at Ali but for me I'm only upset because they didn't show sympathy for Ali and they were insulting the crap outta him (which makes me rightfully defensive) Maybe I'm just that sensitive but that was my only problem with that reaction, aside from that not everyone is gonna react the way we want them to. It's also fine to share our opinions on their reaction. That's how a UA-cam community works 👍
I feel you. I didn't need a full on breakdown of how their reaction was more how they dealt with the frustration, but that's because I've been here for a while. There may be people who just came to the channel to watch them watch this, and for them, the extra perspective might have been needed. Personally, I was already too worked by that episode to be quippy at the end, but that's just me.
THIS. ✨
Also calling everyone "clowns" wasn't the most clever thing to do, like they're your audience bro, they're always going to point things out, just calm down and explain your point, showing some comprehension to different perspectives lol ✨
I feel u. I just didn't like how they just insulted Ali like he gave away 42.something billion for nothing when in reality, he was just being a genuinely good & honest person.

Regarding the VIP’s, I don’t even mark that against squid game for hiring such bad actors cause some of these country’s fr be thinking that’s how the stereotypical american/european acts lmfao
As an American high schooler, I have to say they had a pretty good interpretation; just bad delivery.
imo it seemed like they were written to be caricatures so their exaggerated and “cringe” acting was probably intentional
I don't know if you know this but white Americans are stereotypical by default. Ask them simple questions about literally anything and well... you'll see.
@@mr.dr0bot731 yeah lol but personality wise this was obviously an exaggeration
bruh, i literally thought they probably just picked any white foreigner from the street to be in the show lmao
Ali wasn't a dumbass for believing his friend was his friend :/ equivocating compassion with low intelligence is a horrible mindset to have.
That’s definitely true
Ali was like an adorable little puppy 🐶 trusting its master no matter what, while egnoring its own instincts to survive. Hence his tragic downfall.
late but in a death game thinking a random stranger you met there is a friend itself is stupid.
tbh i think that sang woo using his past generosity to fool ali, and the fact that he let ali call him hyung (which is a term guys use to call older men or men they're close to, which i doubt ali has in korea) was what made ali break, and as sad as i was seeing him go 😭😭 i could see how people would def do what sang woo did if u were able to be successfully be friendly with someone and bamboozle them completely.
its just sad cuz ali felt like he finally belonged esp when sang woo let him change the formalities of the honorifics ali uses on him so this betrayal sucks ass 😭😭😭😭
edit: to add, i think ali is used to seeing sang woo outsmart a game so he rlly thought both of them could live this round but its the same outsmarting strategy that got him killed so double OOF
Don't care, Ali a bozo, well played sang woo.
@@amekgomo5250 well u obvs cared enough to reply to my comment so.......... lmao
go scroll past my comment if u dont want a character analysis comment
yeah, i think sangwoo used his past generosity to fool ali, but that doesn't mean it was fake. i think at the end of the day, sangwoo did genuinely care (the bus, letting him call him hyung, even the face he made when ali got shot), however: no matter how much he cared about ali at the time, it wasn't worth losing his own life over.
and you bring a great point, sangwoo had been outsmarting the games since the first round (when he gave gi hun tip to hide behind people in red/green light), so ali must have really believed sangwoos plan.
12:47 Sheeragan on maternity leave. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh lmao
I actually didn't mind that the VIPs acting sucked ass tbh. There are probably a multitude of factors for it (eg - filming during a pandemic in S.K, writing problems due to language differences, etc). I think it works in showing that the VIPs are off-putting, strange and so elitist. They have their heads in the clouds and watch people die in a capitalist murder game. I think their poor delivery, intentional or not, actually worked in the shows favour. We're meant to find the characters disingenuous. Idk feel free to disagree.
I agree, also I think it’s to match the Korean acting style. American, Hispanic, Asian, German acting have a different style. Some more over the top than others. I remember the first time I watched a Japanese movie I thought the acting was too much, now I’m used to it and expect it (and love it, in fact).
I grew up watching Hispanic movies and when I started watching American movies I thought American acting was too serious and “quiet”. Now, I’m a man of culture and enjoy many different nationality shows.
To me they were like typical over the top comic book villains, which I personally don’t mind because I love comic books and manga so I wasn’t that put off by it
I found it off putting but I agree that it kind of fits given that the characters are so weird and egotistical.
If arisu joined the game, he could've figured out every single game that they were playing

And in the marble game, it's logical to think that you could challenge other teams 20 marbles vs 20 marbles if they also agree. And Ali thought he had an alliance with Sang Woo because of their past teamwork and had no reason to think he was gonna get betrayed. Everything he did was rational
Editor-san speaking straight facts at the start. My mans Ali was way too trusting and its funny that Sangwoo lying to Ali gets him hated while Gihun doing the same thing to Il-nam isn't seen the same way just because he was visibly showing his guilt lol. They were doing the same thing in the end, only difference was Il-nam was just playing dumb while Ali was ACTUALLY being dumb.
It’s not only a matter of guilt and remorse involved such as someone actually showing that they feel bad for what they did but you can’t really blame gihun given how he thought this man was done for mentally wise so tricking him and put him out of his misery wasn’t the worst thing as opposed to him dying right now and this old man dying later on.

I just think that some people can’t help but be themselves under any circumstance. Ali never stopped being himself and in ep 9, you’ll understand that more.
editor should have paid attention to the way Ali was changing his way to talk Sangwoo, he stopped talking formally to saying "hyung" (close friends-older brother for males), he was fully trusting him, and sangwoo betrayed him. remember that sangwoo always helped them out with advices so he really believe him that they could live both of them. sangwoo was always portrayed as a smart man, so Ali thought that what he was saying could work. even when the crazy woman was being a piece of shit, they were protecting them so Ali never imagined being betrayed like this. (remember sangwoo even said sorry minutes ago, so Ali thought everything was ok). before calling someone else a clown for trying to explain something different, pay attention. Ali wasn't dumb, he trusted sangwoo.
That doesn’t change anything tho. Yes him believing that Sang woo was a close friend/older brother rationalizes his decisions after that but it’s still dumb that he came to view Sang woo like that in the first place, at least in the context of the games. You’re saying he’s not dumb, he just trusted him but the dumb thing was to trust him
@@kingdragmire5082 I think you're also forgetting that he is an immigrant in a foreign country. Sangwoo literally helped him explain most of the games and the fact that he is an immigrant means that he is taken advantage of a lot (like his boss) and bullied, experienced racism, etc., so when Sangwoo showed him kindness by giving him the bus fare and in the games, Ali trusted him because he doesn't get that a lot as an immigrant. It's surface-level judgement to just say that he was dumb for naively trusting Sangwoo when we the viewers picked up on the red signs from looking at the big picture and each of their backstories. It's a deeper meaning showing how immigrants are always taken advantage of once they start to trust someone (and it's also relating to his kind character that in the context of these games, being nice will get you killed instantly, so Ali was already fucked from the start but he honestly wouldn't have made it this far if it was not for Sangwoo, thus, he is the person he would least expect to betray him since he has helped and shown him kindness in an unfamiliar setting; also noting the fact that he called him "brother/friend" when addressing him instead of "sir" like from the beginning).
Roshi really got that spidey senses tingling on the old man.

BREH I DIED TEN TIMES LMAOnmclkajflaf
Sheera said, "EEEEWaaah! THEY AIN' T GOT NO CAKE LORD!"
Ali is a lot like the Starks from GoT -- they are so focused on following principles and honor, they don't realize they're in a game where all of that is a liability. It's not that he's dumb, it's that Ali is in a death game where bottom line ... there can only be one winner, and Ali forgot about that because he trusted his allies.
the thing is, the starks had a lot of time to figure that one out and came out winning in GoT. all ali got is a bag of marbles and a bullet on his head once the timer ran out.
@@juuberries but ali was also getting taken advantage of by his employer, so he should've had the lesson down by now. he lost fingers & 6 months of wages bc of his blind faith only to end up dying for the same mistake. u can be both kind & smart or kind & naive, ali was the latter.
Ali didn't know there could only be one winner. None of them knew. They were all led to believe that, whoever survives all 6 games gets to split the prize money. WE the audience knows about this bc we saw the cop pull out the winner's list, but that doesn't mean they players knew.
The thing is not everybody is going to be cut throat in the killing game, that's the whole point of Ali's character. He was too sweet of a man and that's what got him killed, that was his flaw. You can't be mad when a character's ending is in character for them.
i think there's something wrong with me....with the glass platform game....the first idea i had in mind was this :
just kill the person with the number before you....tie your jersey to his corpse....swing his corpse on the next platforms to check them....if it breaks....just pull the corpse back up and you can just continue on with the corpse since the stable platforms can hold upto 2 people...
i clearly am not normal...as this was the first thought that came to my mind....

use your resources...and the only resources in this case are humans....so just use them :)

They said in the beginning that if they all vote to leave the money will go to the families of the deceased. So if the husband votes to leave does he get paid for his dead wife? That'd be fucked up.
The games were on the wall the whole time. They were hidden behind the massive amount of beds.
Though I understand being frustrated at Ali, it's unfair to disparage him in that situation.
Ali comes off as unintelligent in the show but a good portion of that has to due with the fact that he's not Korean so there's a language barrier. There's multiple instances where the show displays this. He asked what a circle was, he didn't know what certain games were and he asked what even and odd is. This wasn't because he didn't know what those concept was it's because he didn't recognize what the Korean words for that was.
You say forming bonds in a death game is counterproductive. This is true. But almost everybody in the main cast formed a bond. Shit the audience formed a bond and we're not even the ones going through the traumatic experiences. Sang-Woo helped Ali inside and outside the game and greatly respected him.
When Sang-Woo was begging Ali was apologizing because Ali had to think of his own family. It's not like Ali immediately gave in to Sang-Woo without thinking of his own priorities.
At the end of the day Sang-Woo used Ali against himself. He knew Ali had trust and respect for him, he knew Ali is a foreigner that isn't completely familiar with Korean language and culture. And with that he was able to convince Ali that the game may work differently than it seems.
Unintelligent??? I took it as Ali not knowing the Korean culture. Especially the language and it's structure.
lmao the fact that the cop was literally upgrading through the entire series-
0:24 "play touchbutt in the park" .. Nate Diaz fan huh? Haha that's a good one!!
23:34 Him and that math guy was literally one of the most useful people there Sheera lmao
that math didnt help him in any way
That's the biggest question in the whole Squid Universe. How much battery life does he have? lol
I mean it's not like he playing video games there lol
He literally only open note, take pictures and record some video. Ain't nothing gonna drain the battery
They show it decreasing. If I were him I’d put it on airplane mode all day till it was night
@@TheSuperNats or battery saver. most phones, if fully charged, stays for more than 5 days. depends if he turns it off, too.
im sorry but them laughing everytime someone fell through had me dying! I didn’t laugh at that part originally but it was the fact that they were like “he fell ankle first” while cackling that was so messed up that it was hilarious 😭🤣💀
According to the CDC it takes approximately 2 seconds to check a bag for f*ckery
I love Editor
The set designers did amazing on this show. The rooms and the live mannequins with people in bodysuits/bodypaint and the masks.
The editor made a whole ass presentation. Gahh damn😂
Your editor is the goat
These American Actors are probably the weakest part for me with Squid Game
they were absolute garbage
@@tgdelta yeah when they appear i feel the same like who is this clowns their acting is so bad
Not surprising considering this is a Korean show. It’s probably the same for any show or movie with foreign language/actors being incorporated into it.
The NPC dialouge is unreal
@Aces Pepple are saying their acting and dialogue is cringe and you think that’s the point? They’re just bad actors, you can hate someone and still think their acting is good.
Lupa with the stone cold theme had my dying! 😂😂😂
That was too much.
A lot of people give the husband flack for wanting to quit and say it was a dumb move. But it was actually a brilliant move on his part. Lets recall what occurs when majority of players quit as shown in episode 2. If the majority of players vote to quit and end the games; the games are suspended and the living players leave with no prize money, but and this is a very important but, the prize money is split up and divided and given to all the families of the deceased players. Now what is Player 69's wife? She's a deceased player isn't she? Had he been able to convince the majority of players to leave he would have gotten some prize money for their family due to his wife having died. He also could have countered Sang-Woo and the group by making the case that the games would only be suspended and all of you could return and resume playing.
Sang Woo did what he had to do. I've been afraid to tweet this but here seems like a safe place
EDIT: I still think Ali didn't deserve to die like that and my ass cried. But in that situation Sang Woo did what needed to be done for him to be with his mommy AND OUT OF DEBT
only one fucking person can survive anyways 🤷♂️
Woo Sheisty did nothing wrong.
@@jojsjo not sure. if there were three people playing on the final game what would have happened?
Sang woo did nothing wrong!
@@JC-wm1uw the game can go up to 10 players
The actor is also very much alive! “Ali” shows up a lot as an extra and supporting character in a lot of K-dramas. Even Arthdal Chronicles as a shop vendor, if I am not mistaken? And yes, They Were There The Whole Time. The bunks were in the way.
"im confused, why did the vips come in 5 games deep" this is a very subtle clue but made sense at the end and i think not a lot of people noticed.
Really?? I don't see how the other VIPs hint at anything? All that question shows is that the other 5 were watching the games through screen from their locations.
Can you expand on that, what do you mean??
???
@@blueblade6174 They dont know number 001's face. All VIPS meet but literally have masks to protect their identity. But i think the "gamemaster" dont wanna risk it. So i guess having them watch the first few games from afar can atleast have a leeway for footage to be manipulated. But i think it doesnt matter since vips only sees them as numbers.
@@p0ppysmic13 oh wow!! Omg that’s true!! I got goosebumps. Thanks for explaining
Editor really out here catching all these clowns in 4k HD while hitting them with simple common sense. THE DAMN INTRO HASNT EVEN STARTED YET GODDAMN LMAOOO
i seriously applaud roshi for noticing the murals of the games on the wall i didn’t the first time i watched it now im paying attention for more hidden details good eye roshi
Btw, that bridge game was apparently, hopscotch…….my childhood games will never be the same
Don’t pay attention to the comments guys y’all are the ones with the successful reaction channel
The only thing is that Ali needed the money for his family, he trusted everyone, even his boss who betrayed him by not giving him money. He was a foreigner, so he had some hard times in some areas, so depending on others and having his character traits were kinda necessary. He called Sangwoo “hyung” which means older brother, because Sangwoo meant a lot to him (gave him his phone for a phone call, a bus ride, and food) and that meant a lot to him, so Ali stopping calling him “ajeossi” which means sir (in some cases, because Sangwoo told him to stop calling him that anymore) to “hyung”. He was just too trusting and nice for this world (saved Gihun in the first round without thinking or knowing the guy), which is why when Ali didn’t know some of the games, Sangwoo took that chance to manipulate him and Ali took that chance trusting him, because they were a team. It sucked seeing this episode and all those characters go, but…”In Sangwoo we don’t trust”…
I share the same sentiment as the guy in the middle. When I was watching this episode I said y’all gotta shoot me cause I’m not falling to my death 😂
The thing that pissed me off the most about Ali is that after Sang Woo was about to lose he snapped and called him a lying cheater and only stopped because the guard threatened to kill him, and then Ali acted like that didn't happen. That was the point when I stopped feeling bad for him
I think that scene made Ali made believe Sang-woo more because he took it as him freaking out as desperation for his life and felt bad, especially considering he looked up to Sang-woo. I still felt bad for him because he's a honest good person who couldn't overcome his nature and morality when he needed to.
In a life-threatening competition; the one who is willing to kill is going to triumph over the one who desires the opposite.
Don't let Naruto fool you.
Ali wasnt dumb, and it makes sense that he got betrayed because he had full trust on Sang-woo, who was the first korean person to treat him like a friend.
Dont forget that he was a foreigner in a country full of strangers, and he was getting screwed hard by his korean boss at work. The man not just got treated like a slave and not paid for
the work he was putting in that place, but also lost his fingers there as well. No one was helping him anywhere.
Until Sang-woo gave him money for the bus, invited him into the team, protected and helped each other, and Sang even told Ali to not call him "sir" so he would feel equal to him.
So yeah, even in that short time, Sang was Ali's best friend in that whole country, and the brain of the team as well, so of course Ali chose to believe everything Sang told him.
But it is unclear if Sang really saw Ali as a friend or if he was just manipulating Ali the whole time.
i think sang woo def saw capacity in ali that he deliberately chose to exploit it cuz ali ended up trusting sang woo too much and knew he'd believe sang woo's words cuz he's smart like gi hun always preach about, and he def will get both of them out of there but alas...
@@bmgfrosty7089 No he wasn't
@@bmgfrosty7089 He really wasn't but sure go off I guess
@@bmgfrosty7089 Sure bud
everytime your reaction to something i like gets uploaded, i drop everything i'm doing
I gotta admit, the intro in this video packs some punch. Like the editor be roasting and correcting those people. It's feels new and fresh HAHAHAHA
AYoo, Sheera kept saying pick no. 1, definitely didnt wanna change to the last, and suddenly after she finds out, "Yeah, didnt I tell u that It will have something with falling" "Told u should go last", The opinion suddenly changed after finding out the competition?? If u were there, u would have been the first to go lol, At least stick with ur predictions. I am not saying this in a mean way, but if u will act smart, stick with it to the end
ya'll are my favorite reaction channel. great balance of banter/lulz but also intelligent analysis of the content. long time subscriber so keep it up!
Yup, the phone placement. In the previous episode, when the detective put the phone down, I rewound to look at how the phone was positioned before he picked it up and knew the difference would come back to bite him later.
Well I didn’t actually know, since it could’ve just been ignored but sneaking around always leads to tiny details being noticed by the bad guy.
“Sheera a demon” LMAOOO 😂😂😭😭
You know
Try to rewatch episode 6
Listen to the rule
They only said "Using your marble, you need to obtain 10 of your partner marble"
The rule never state 20, they only said obtain 10 of your partner marble
So in order for both to win, all they had to do is exchange their pouch, so both have all 10 of their partner marble using their marble.
In a way, Sang Woo was right, both him and Ali can survive the game
And if you look closely to the painting, the marble game shown both side exchange pouch
So marble game only troll you to kill each other.
8:50 Roshi:"it just started to get suspicious"
Me: who literally nearly cried over the old mans death and had no clue at all that he was behind it*
bruh editor really put best boi into the coffin
fr, this whole show was about who came out last. If you didn't peep that during the first ep then you are delusional to think that there would have been more than one winner. Ali is who you would want as a friend in real life but in a game where you literally have to kill people to win, obviously loyalty and kindness wasn't going to win the damn game, you can only protect those you care about in this game to a certain point. Sangwoo was the most realistic which many fail to realize especially if you have a reason to win that money.
Had the day off and literally was just binging this! I LITERALLY finished yalls reaction to EP6 not even 5 min ago I’m so hype!!
S tier edits...
The subtlety is immaculate🤣
I was about to go to bed after binging your guys' reactions 1-6 and noticed that you guys just
posted episode 7. Sweeeeet.
So I know you guys are done the show, but just in case you watch other subtitle shows and didn't know - There are more options than just the default CC option. There's also a straight ENG sub so you don't have the sound effects subtitled on the screen as well.
The detective played Hitman (2016) 1, 2, and 3 right before going to the island. It's too bad the VIPs didn't have full body costumes, then he could have gone deeper into their network.
The way he groveled and begged and accused Ali of cheating. That is why I sympathize with Ali. Sang Woo has no honor and it just shows how low people are willing to go when capitalism has you by the balls.
I’d do the same, it’s life or death not about money. I would feel horrible afterwords and carry that the rest of my life but I have a family to protect and in the end he’s a stranger and I need to protect my family and providen
