I knew way before that from the very beginning when they were looking for the island. He was helping him from the goodness of his heart? Ain't nobody that good lmao
Not knowing there would be a second part in 2025 i actually got so stressed in the final episode that there would be no way the season had a good ending and it would get rushed lol i was so surprised when the episode ended and there was no episode 8 xD
I just finished it about an hour ago. I watch a lot of kdramas so I recognized a lot of faces. Subverting alot of expectations for me because the actors usually play a certain roles but not in Squid game. Thanks for the prerecorded vids. Have a great holidays Grace and everyone.
The trans character is played by the same actor who was the lead male bully in “The Glory!” Quite the “transition” from playing someone so mean, aggressive and heartless to playing someone meek, somewhat passive and with so much heart.
Player 1 wanted to test/observe the main protagonist's viewpoint up close because of the crisis in his resolve. In the last episode once our protagonist said he was willing to sacrifice some of the "O" people for the greater good of destroying the games, it basically solidified Player 1's resolve that continuing to keep the games is actually the right thing to do. Maybe Player 1 would not have betrayed them in the end if our protagonist never said that. Matter of fact if all the "O" had gathered together and defended themselves, they would have had enough votes to end the games without the loss of lives in the rebellion.
I’m so happy for Jo Yuri to be in this. I hope we get to see her more in season 3, but also I really hope Kang Ae-sim earns award nominations for her performance. I loved her in this show!!!
I remember watching the battle royal movies when I was a child, i knew the Sky tv password in the UK. Every time I saw a Hunger Games or anything like that. I remember the Japanese Battle Royal, I shouldn't have watched when I was that young. It's a great premise nonetheless.
There is no ethical dilemma with player 001. He entered that game as a player with one purpose in mind, to prove to player 456 his philosophy!!! Intermittently u saw him smirking. He only switched his vote to add to the burn when player 456 learns his true identity. He slept with n played with those players including 456 friend. Only to kill him in the end w/o a second thought, to hurt 456 n destroy his morale even further… he was seen killing his own employees to further solidify in 456 mins that player 001 is with them. player 001 is a mastermind. Psychopathic mastermind ❤❤❤
Actually liked this season. But again, I do feel that S1 was already relatable even if you’re not from S. Korea. A lot of westeners are just not used to watching KDrama maybe that’s why she said in the non spoiler, this season is more global. After S2, their minds just accepted that it’s not a KDrama but just a great Netflix show. Btw 230 is from Big Bang. He is an actual rapper.
The last ep plot was so unnecessary. The main character preached so much about saving lives but yet he decided to sacrifice ppls life’s for a stupid plan that didn’t work. Like what them think they could take over and kill all the employees? He didn’t think there’s a chance they were outnumbered and outgunned? And they would’ve probably got the vote and went home if he was a lil more patient.
i got halfway thru your non-spoiler review and then hopped into Netflix to see if Australian launch date was the same, a 7 hour binge later here i am 110% in agreement. Screenwriters and show runners take note : THIS is how to make engaging, intelligent, funny and terrifying social commentary and entertainment!. As for the players and games, I too thought guard / father storyline wasn't fleshed out - but did you notice that the hospital area the little girl was in was for transplants? I was confused as I initially thought SHE was intentionally missing to provide more organs for the hospital...... I am not sure but i am hoping for something to connect these in Season 3
thanks for pointing this out. I missed it, and just went back to see. Along with the 2-handed rock paper scissors, doubling things ups the logic and risk of simple games....
think the woman working behind the scenes was the most interesting storyline beacyase it showed that even when you are "in charge" of the games and not the vulnerable people in this scenario, people are still ignorant and even violent no matter where you go or which side you stand on. great social commentary.
It's so good to see Thanon (TOP / Choi Seung Hyun) getting a lot of positive feedback oj his role. One of my favorite musicians and a very underrated actor
This season is too global or better call it too many American values in show. If you know little more about Korean couture or about their shows, some plot lines are way too American that it wouldn't work at all with their values in society.
I honestly did not like it. I am here for the games and we had 3 in 7 episodes. Also I feel like we dont have enough players to hate and the ones we hate are killed quick and with no satisfaction for the viewer.
Grace is currently on holiday vacation with her family. All of these end-of-the-year videos and reviews were filmed before her vacation which is why she hasn’t been able to react to any new trailers or do a movie box office last Sunday.
Grace, you might be interested to know ‘Thanos’ is played by an actor named TOP who was a member of a massive Kpop group called Big Bang. He is a Kpop legend in real life!
Unlike HoTD cliffhanger, squid game’s juiced me up enough n at the edge of my seat n willing to wait for s3. Plus s2 filled my apetite enough so I can wait…. ❤❤❤
I felt the stakes in the 2nd season wasn't there to be honest. I wish they had international characters and games with high stakes. I think Mr beast capitalised on this so much... I believe show could of used some different ideas. Story was ok... But slow in some place. Pacing wasnt great
It says right there in yellow font on the video that this is pre-recorded so what do you think? And since when does Grace react to trailers days later when the moment has passed? Never, that's when. So even if she was back, she wouldn't react to it right now.
Yeah I was entertained all the way through... but the fact that this was only half a season is BS. If you want to tell a larger story then great TELL IT IN ONE SEASON STILL... honestly I'm going to forget what happened when Season 2 PART 2 drops.
also a little mad for the finale lol but that´s true they should plan all the history from the beginning so we don´t have to wait + years / we're done doing that and good luck to Euphoria trying to get back hahaha
It's amazing to witness the journey of this season..🤯 Where is the show going!!!!! It's AMAZING 😍🤩 Mingle is my fav game of the season as well. This one is ruthless🤯😨💣💀
when it came to the boat captain i knew he was a rat when they were questioning who was leaking....it was so obvious lol
Yes I had the same thoughts. And 001 was a good through back season1. Ending was also a great cliffhanger
@@ruudnooijens6464 yeah I know that too...
Uuuuummmmm 😕
Are we gonna finally get sth for mufasa and sonic?!?!?
I knew way before that from the very beginning when they were looking for the island. He was helping him from the goodness of his heart? Ain't nobody that good lmao
yeah it's unfortunate how obvious it was, and also that subplot went absolutely nowhere
they should've labeled this season as Season 2 Part 1 if they were gonna end on such a mediocre cliffhanger with Season 3 coming so soon
Not knowing there would be a second part in 2025 i actually got so stressed in the final episode that there would be no way the season had a good ending and it would get rushed lol i was so surprised when the episode ended and there was no episode 8 xD

Yes, you know! I saw him play a bad guy in two kdramas that I watched this year. He can be a romantic lead next, or action romance. 😊@bokuphishp684

I just realised that Squid Game 2 is basically Battle Royale 2. Not about the game anymore, just a full-on revolution.
Also The Hunger Games 2
I remember watching the battle royal movies when I was a child, i knew the Sky tv password in the UK. Every time I saw a Hunger Games or anything like that. I remember the Japanese Battle Royal, I shouldn't have watched when I was that young. It's a great premise nonetheless.

Mingle was also my favorite game! Fast paced with high risk.
I remember playing it as a kid too.
Gong Yoo as the recruiter stole the show for me
Would of been better if we didnt know who player 001 was
I mean they already did that in season 1. So next step was us knowing but the protagonist not
When I got to episode 7 I was like.. already.. so much shooting.. just happy next season is coming soon bc this felt like half a season.
lee byun hyung is one of the great actors. His filmography is amazing. JSA, A Bittersweet Life, the good the bad the weird are some of my favorites.
Liked the season overall, imo, don’t think the cliffhanger was good simply because it just felt like the season was incomplete. 7.5/10 for me

S1 was way better by far . This was a good season I binged it but the talking parts got dragged on
I loved Se-Mi.
Gutted that she died and Minsu kept watching.
No.1 looks like mads mikkelsen
🫶 Grace. Did you see the mid credits scene? Looks like a new edition Red Light Green Light for season 3.
thanks for pointing this out. I missed it, and just went back to see. Along with the 2-handed rock paper scissors, doubling things ups the logic and risk of simple games....
@@rklman567 no problem, glad you got to see it now!

Big Bang

Like what?
I honestly did not like it. I am here for the games and we had 3 in 7 episodes. Also I feel like we dont have enough players to hate and the ones we hate are killed quick and with no satisfaction for the viewer.
I don't think you should continue watching either. If you're only here for the games then the show clearly isn't for you
@ thank you for the suggestion
I wonder if you could say "ya know?" some more? It really brings out your intelligence.
most reviews i've read say s2 is not as good as s1.
Surprised not to see a reaction to the superman trailer
Still negotiating the fee.
she was on vacation when it dropped but gave her thoughts on Twitter
Grace is currently on holiday vacation with her family. All of these end-of-the-year videos and reviews were filmed before her vacation which is why she hasn’t been able to react to any new trailers or do a movie box office last Sunday.
Right ? Like what? Haha she says she is a DC fan lol
Haha she says she is a DC fan lol WHERE IS THE SUPERMAN TRAILER GRACE?
Grace! In your non spoiler review you said you had tea on Survivor. When/where this tea will be spilled??? Explain!
it wasn't tea on Survivor, it was tea about Squid Game, that after season 3 they will expand globally. Changing it up like Survivor.
"We love to rank shit!" is a knee slapper! 🤣🤣 1:59
Grace, you might be interested to know ‘Thanos’ is played by an actor named TOP who was a member of a massive Kpop group called Big Bang. He is a Kpop legend in real life!
Played Gong hi in Korea when I visited - it really is exactly like they play it with those 5 little dice.
Season is good but not better than part one. Part one was so intense and unpredictable this season had to much plot armor for too many characters
Gong Yoo 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Unlike HoTD cliffhanger, squid game’s juiced me up enough n at the edge of my seat n willing to wait for s3. Plus s2 filled my apetite enough so I can wait….
❤❤❤
Sonic movie 3 review?
Still no Superman talk😥 its a shame I like your opinions and insight
Stop harassing her
She is on vacation. All these videos are pre-recorded
everyone wants to overthrow the system, but you become same people you overthrew.
I finished just right now! What a great timing! I really aint sleeping tonight 😢😂
Sonic and Mufasa reviews pleeeeeeeease!!!!🥺🥺🥺
Sonic 3 is the greatest film to ever exist
I really can't wait for season 3!
Glad S3 is coming next year or I would have been pissed about the cliffhanger.
ammm where's the Sonic 3 video o.0 Grace ?
facts
I felt the stakes in the 2nd season wasn't there to be honest. I wish they had international characters and games with high stakes. I think Mr beast capitalised on this so much... I believe show could of used some different ideas. Story was ok... But slow in some place. Pacing wasnt great
Are you seriously in here in the comments saying the "Mr Beast" games is better than this...?
Thanos was easily the MVP of this season
I think i saw 1-2 homeless across many cities in one month
No Sonic 3 review????
Gong yoo my God probably the best part of the whole season lol
Question for the grace glazers is she back from vaca yet? No Superman yet? Is this beyond the trailer or ignore the trailer?
Why does she have to work during her vacation?
It says right there in yellow font on the video that this is pre-recorded so what do you think? And since when does Grace react to trailers days later when the moment has passed? Never, that's when. So even if she was back, she wouldn't react to it right now.
Loved Squid Game 2!!!
got my food ready to watch...
Yeah I was entertained all the way through... but the fact that this was only half a season is BS. If you want to tell a larger story then great TELL IT IN ONE SEASON STILL... honestly I'm going to forget what happened when Season 2 PART 2 drops.
The best games are the multiple mini games and the round and round one. Very good stuff
also a little mad for the finale lol but that´s true they should plan all the history from the beginning so we don´t have to wait + years / we're done doing that and good luck to Euphoria trying to get back hahaha
Thanos was a trip! haha
It's amazing to witness the journey of this season..🤯 Where is the show going!!!!!
It's AMAZING 😍🤩
Mingle is my fav game of the season as well. This one is ruthless🤯😨💣💀
Idk why everyone hyping this season up I thought it sucked.. and I loved the first one
Grace what about Young Mi 😢
Cliche Netflix move to give us a under whelming 2nd season
I love this season just as much as
Grace where is movie math?????
I believe this is pre-recorded
She’s on holiday vacation with the fam
@@BostonChattanooga oh ok thax
Grace really prepared a lot of reviews. Thank you queen ❤
Honestly she was a good written character and didnt just focused on her transition
The fact that a man is playing a trans woman IS the problem…
TOP was hilarious. What a great role as a character
FIRST
I hope Grace does a Superman teaser breakdown after her vacation
PS: I hope you and your family have a great and relaxing vacation"🎉
