The condition was that if the recruiter used the last bullet to shoot the MC, it would be like admitting that he was indeed a dog for his masters. He might be a psycho but he stuck to his convictions to the end.
The final scene in this episode is easily my favorite scene in the entire show, from the writing, to the acting, to the music (I already loved "Time to Say Goodbye", and I love the inclusion of it here), everything was perfect. Tbh, when I first watched this episode, I was a bit hesitant of the new vibe this season was giving off, but the ending to this episode showed me that they're still capable of giving us the old flavor of Season 1, and thus I fully accepted this new flavor Season 2 gives us. When I finished this episode for the first time, I audibly said, "We are so fucking back."
He won like 46 billion Won in the first season. The rewards to the team that finds the guy would be 1 billion. He has spent nearly none of the first season's winnings at this point.
Happy New Year Joe and Drew! Been waiting for this one (and your RoP reactions when you get to it). I've already finished the whole 2nd season so I can't wait to see your reactions to certain scenes too! Hope you're both doing well, cheers!
Hey guys I'm so glad you decided to react to season two. I really enjoy your season one so much I go back and watch it over and over. Your reactions are so genuine I just enjoy you
If you want to quickly calculate won to dollars, all you have to do is take out three zeroes from the back of the won and that _roughly_ equals to dollars. Example: ₩1,000 = ~$1 ₩10,000 = ~$10 ₩100,000 = ~$100 ₩1,000,000 = ~$1,000 ₩45,600,000,000 = ~$45,600,000
And so, the twisted game of wealth, madness, gore, greed, violence, murder, tragedy, chaos, and mayhem continues! Also, Happy New Year 2025, #StruggleNation! 😁😎
Yo i just randomly found this reaction and watched it too.I like your charismas 😁 But i wanna say stay focused on next episodes and watch on every details even on camera cause about dat.I’ll wait next reactions and will subscribe 💯🤞
The title of the episode is a reference to the Latin phrase panem et circenses - bread and circuses - that was coined by the Roman poet Juvenal as a critique of the political strategy of providing superficial appeasement, such as food and entertainment, to pacify the masses. It’s a way of keeping the populace distracted from systemic issues like corruption, inequality, and exploitation. The choices presented to the players and to the homeless are nothing but an illusion. They’re carefully crafted by the powerful to appear as opportunities, but in reality, they are traps with no good resolution. What does a piece of bread mean to a homeless person? It’s not life-changing. It won’t significantly improve their circumstances the way winning the lottery might. Choosing the lottery is a gamble, sure - but don’t we all take risks, hoping for something better? The difference is that most of us aren’t judged for wanting to change our lives or trying our luck.
오징어 게임 시즌2의 1번째 에피소드의 딱지남에 대한 평가 글 입니다. I want to say that scene with the lottery ticket and the bread can symbolize those who took the lottery will likely join the squid game and those who took the bread wouldn't. So I think when the recruiter was talking about killing his dad, he was angry with him bc his dad would rather join the Squid Game (lottery ticket) instead of staying home (taking the bread). That's the best I can come up with 리액션 감사합니다. ^^
Happy New year you two 🎉 just so you know the English dub on this show is proper good it find it better to watch like that and you miss less also . Anyway keeps up the good work from the 🇬🇧
I wonder how do they recruit female contestants? Do they slap them too? Or was there any other method than playing ddakji? I can't imagine sae byeok consent to that
POTENTIAL SPOILER !!!!!!!! ………. remember when they do the multi games, the pregnant girl said she won playing ddakji more than the dude. I’m assuming they do the same game for both women and men.
Same process. You can see the contestants (male and female) either getting slapped or reacting after a slap by rubbing their cheeks when they're read their debt amounts during the game rules intro to the contestants.

That Russian Roulette at the end was peak insanity Lol
The condition was that if the recruiter used the last bullet to shoot the MC, it would be like admitting that he was indeed a dog for his masters. He might be a psycho but he stuck to his convictions to the end.
7:14 had me DYING 🤣🤣 his faceee
Bro said what now🤨
Hahahaha the forbidden word
Thanks to the first season of Squid Game I found this channel... so I'm glad you made the reaction
Yo Struggle Nation! ✌️Happy New Year! P.S. Welcome to Squid Game 2!
The final scene in this episode is easily my favorite scene in the entire show, from the writing, to the acting, to the music (I already loved "Time to Say Goodbye", and I love the inclusion of it here), everything was perfect.

First episode was cinema
He won like 46 billion Won in the first season. The rewards to the team that finds the guy would be 1 billion. He has spent nearly none of the first season's winnings at this point.
I've been waiting for your reaction man!! Feels great to see u guys again
Oh you guys are in for a TREAT with this season! Glad to see you! Happy New Year 😊
Happy New Year Joe and Drew! Been waiting for this one (and your RoP reactions when you get to it).
I've already finished the whole 2nd season so I can't wait to see your reactions to certain scenes too!

Fun fact, 1538 won = 1 dollar.
If you want to quickly calculate won to dollars, all you have to do is take out three zeroes from the back of the won and that _roughly_ equals to dollars.
Example:
₩1,000 = ~$1
₩10,000 = ~$10
₩100,000 = ~$100
₩1,000,000 = ~$1,000
₩45,600,000,000 = ~$45,600,000
@@user-gp1bt4vm3r Today, 1 dollar = 1.450,44 won. So 45,600.000.000 = 31.438.735 dollars. Not 45 millions.

The Recruiter reminds me of the girl with the eye patch from this gambling anime called Kakegurui

Recruiter stood on business. Ngl
Finallyyyyyy🎉🎉 was waiting for this👏🏽
I think Ttakjiman's father couldn't fulfill his role as a father, so I think he justified himself by putting himself in that position.
This was a solid first episode. The ego/idealism fight in this season is ufff
