    Squid Game Description:
    Squid Game (Korean: 오징어 게임; RR: Ojing-eo Geim) is a South Korean survival drama television series streaming on Netflix. Written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, it stars Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yeon, O Yeong-su, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam Tripathi, and Kim Joo-ryoung. The series, distributed by Netflix, was released worldwide on September 17, 2021.
    The series centers on a contest where 456 players, drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a set of children's games with deadly penalties for losing, and the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize. Hwang had conceived of the idea based on his own economic struggles early in life as well as the class disparity within South Korea. Though initially scripted in 2008, Hwang had been unable to find a production to support the script until Netflix around 2019 found interest as part of their drive to expand their foreign programming offerings. Hwang wrote and directed all nine episodes himself.
    Squid Game received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with praise for its acting, originality, directing, visual style, musical score, art direction, atmosphere, and themes. Within a week, it became one of Netflix's most-watched programs in several regional markets.

      If you do more non-english pics in the future, you could always do a community poll for Sub vs. Dub to see what people prefer for that specific thing! There's many shows where the audiences think the dub is good/fine, and others where they'd be more likely to prefer the sub, like with this show.

      It's so backwards people like you or others agree that Sang Woo is relatable/realistic, I heavily disagree because the most realistic characters would be the two girls, Sae Byeok and the other girl, but the scene where she purposely loss the marble game is one of the more realistic moments many would do, many would have the strength, or some kind of agreement to not let each other die over greed of their own life
      Sang Woo is not realistic, more so psychotic, and if you think for a moment most of your friends and close people would two face you in moments like these, then you need a new set of friends or just a better mind set in general, I think more so Sae Byeok is most realistic, she stuck to it to the end without ever thinking of backstabbing her friends, and if given the chance she'll die and take a fall for the others to continue or win, the only thing Sang Woo did realistically was taking the fatal blow to himself in the end.
      Pretty much everyone who was a close friend are the realistic ones, and there is no way a feeble minded person like Sang Woo would ever carry on his reign of psychotic actions thinking he could remotely have this in the bag, not when it comes down to when it really matters and who is mentally stronger and stabled, I don't know about you all, but there is no way in hell the sentence "You have to be like that to survive in there" would be what a majority of people would think or do over their own closest friends or those who put trust in you, sure you can use that to outwit those who are doing the whole group and everyone wrong or whoever are the bullies/little punks to make the place less of a living hell hole, but I don't know, some people succumb to fragility which is understandable but to nowhere near expectable to the point of how Sang Woo acted and deceived, but I find it more common people will be like Sae Byeok, Ali, Gi-hun and the other girl overall

    My favourite thing about this series if the foreshadowing that they do in episode 2. It basically tells you how the main characters will die.
    1. Abdul stole from his boss (even though he totally deserved that money) and then cho sang woo steals his marbles getting him killed.
    2. Kang sae byeok threatened to slit a guys thoat and ends up with her throat cut by cho sang woo.
    3. Jang deok su jumps of a bridge to get away from gang members, han mi nyeo throws them both off of the glass bridge.
    4. Cho sang woo was about to commit suicide in his bathtub and ends up killing himself so that seong gi hun can win.
    5. The old man is seen waiting outside the hospital when waiting to be picked up to go back into the games and ultimately dies from his brain tumor.
    6. Seong gi hun swore "on his mother's life" that he wouldn't bother kang sae byeok about the money she stole from him and then immediately goes back on his word, when he gets back from the games his mother is dead.
    The second episode became my favorite after realising all that.

For example, the dub for the old man (53:12) is like some generic Japanese anime grandpa accent. Like, if you're going to dub in English, at least get some Korean voice actors who sound somewhat similar and actually sound like they're from Korea.

    Song-woo killed himself because his ultimate reason for being there from the time he got back in the van was to protect his mother from paying for the debt he had. He resolved to do horrible things to protect her, and that's what he did. When it came right down to it at the end, and he could have walked away alive but without the money, he chose to die because he believed his childhood friend, the guy who had just proven he'd somehow made it through everything without turning into a monster, would use the prize money to make sure his mom was okay. Very calculating guy, who did horrific things, but a very compelling character.

    I see a LOT of comments about watching the dubbed version, but I have to agree. The whole reason for watching it with subtitles is because you get to see and hear the actual ACTING of the people in the show. When it’s dubbed you see it, but you lose out on hearing it. These actors are absolutely amazing and their voices are just as important to the acting as their physical performances. Still, now that you have watched it dubbed for your channel, I recommend you watch it again on your own with subtitles so you can truly appreciate how amazing a job the cast did. 👍

    The reason for sub being better than dub is so you get the whole performance of the actor speaking in a foreign language. In Anime, that’s less important since it’s just vocals. When it’s (foreign live action) dubbed over, the words might be similar, but you don’t hear the inflections, tone, volume, etc… of the lines being performed in the language we’re meant to hear. Even if you didn’t choose sub for this video, you must see it that way on ya own for the full experience as it was intended.

      I feel that it matters in Anime, too. It was after watching Akira, first in English dubbed then in Japanese with subtitles that subtitles became my preference when watching anything foreign language. For me, what was being said in English didn't match the actions/reactions of the characters that I was seeing on screen. When I watched it a second time but subbed, it all made more sense.

    • @Mistah47
      @Mistah47 Рік тому +2

      @@scabbedwings6548 I also prefer subbed anime over dubbed. The main exception is DBZ. Vocal performance in subbed anime can be great too, just not as crucial as live action. But It’s best when you speak the native language and are able to see and understand it naturally. Instead of artificially via dubs

    Echoing other peoples sentiments, I wish people hadn’t complained so much that it convinced you to switch to the dubbed version to shut them up. While the subtitles in the sub version aren’t 100% accurate, they are far more accurate than the dub. You miss out on so much of the correct voice inflections and context with the dub version, unfortunately :(
    Not faulting you for it, also not bitching at you or saying you have to do things the way I like it or a certain way, I just thought you may have wanted to know that the subs have so much more context and emotion in them, because the dubs are off in a lot of areas, plus the voice actors are just…bad.

    This show was an extremely tough watch, and I think the real brilliance of it is the way they made this horrorscape weirdly accessible.
    The really reprehensible act that all of the contestants on this show committed was going back to the island after they knew good and goddamn well what the entire thing was. After you've made that choice, you're just in a spot where the only way out is through it.

    • @coyotelong4349

But he doesn't - he sits around waiting and watching, just like the VIPs in the game. By doing so, he proves that he's no better than them. Thus he proves Il Nam's point. It seems unrelated to the conversation they're having, but it's not.

      Idk if this is everywhere or even Mell's experience but at least where I grew up in Compton and where my cousin grew up in Jamaica alot of black people were raised to not eat steak unless it's well done.
      Sometimes it's due to religious beliefs. I've heard Methodist and Baptist preachers say that eating rare/medium rare steak ECT is eat the life of the animal since "life is in the blood" .........
      Noone is my family eats steak that isn't well done. And I've never had rough well done steak from home. I didn't know that steak can be that rough until I had well done steak at a restaurant.my mom has always been able to make steak soft and juicy and well done 🤗 again this is just my experience and a guess/assumption based off of my experience and surroundings......

GiHun was ready to let the old man die just like SungWoo did with Ali. No he didn’t hate GiHun, he just knew.
