"How are you doing bud" "I'm not good" I wish I could have a friend like that. Someone who you can say how you really feel to instead of the usual platitudes. That broke more than the show.
Many people say Ali was dumb but I actually believed Sang-Woo until he switched the bag because I "wanted" to believe that there was a way. I imagine Ali would've "wanted" to believe even more so.
Imo he isnt dumb, he is innocent. We know he wasnt well educated, since he didnt know what was even or odd. He was just a man with a family, and purest of hearts. He just appreciated people who helped him, and just wholesome. Even though Sang woo was just trying to survive, makes sense in a way, but he didnt do it with dignity. Which is what makes him a piece of sheeeet. He did that with the shapes game as well. Didnt tell others about what he knew.
@@karankapoor608 i think that even and odd thing was mainly because of the language barrier, but yeah, even if I knew all the terminologies and even if I sense something is fishy, I'd want to believe Sangwoo too, this is just heartbreaking. And Sangwoo? Dang he's ruthless, sure he doesn't seem to enjoy being an ass but he knows what he's doing and sticks to it, for that I respect him.
@@dccc5388 i would have been okay with sang woo, if all he did was betray ali. Because its survival. Mankind has been doing this to survive ever since the beginning. So he had no other choice. But he put his mom in debt. So fuck that guy.
@@BaddestBan call me emotionless or not human if you want but I didn't really cry during this episode. Like I was definitely bummed out and did find it all very sad but not enough to make me shed a tear, maybe I was too focused on reading the subtitles and not immersed enough.
@@kfactor20 That's okay, dude! My friend didn't cry either, but she did say that she felt empty and had to sit in silence for a while lol. I didn't think I was gonna cry but as soon as I saw the rocks, my heart dropped and I started sobbing so hard
Still can't believe this is the first acting role for the woman who plays Sae-Byeok. Hope she can make room in her modeling career to appear in more kdramas in the future.
Why do I feel so sorry for Adam😂 You two are SO SWEET that you guys really got into the show, get the feelings, be there for the characters, not just from the lines but also from the facial expression, acting, something everyone can get without knowing the languages. What I’m saying is..yay from Korea for Jay&Adam!😂
i heard that and wondered if that was his last name (and like the Japanese, maybe they did that) but i did NOT wish to know this T_T (lowkey, ty, lmao)
God this, it’s what made Ali’s death that much more emotional for me because he saw him as a friend, like a very good close friend that he admired and trusted with his LIFE and Ali was betrayed. The sadness, betrayal, and realization on his face were absolutely heartbreaking
i really respect adam for keeping his whole breakdown in the video, i feel like it takes a lot to put yourself out there like that, absolutely loved this reaction!!
Exactly what I thought...there's no way I could upload a video of myself breaking down like that...which possibly means Adam is helluva a lot more emotionally adjusted than I am 😂
I'm with you Adam. That look on Ali's face was heart breaking. He wasn't sad about his death but that the one person he met in Korea who was decent to him betrayed him
19:22 I was crying with Adam, but laughing with Jay. They really did a good job. Specially since the girl who sacrificed herself was introduced like an episode ago, and I cried so hard when she died.
Exactly! I wasn't expecting to cry as much as I did because I was more attached to the others who were killed off. This being my 5th rewatch of the episode, I swear her death hits harder every time!
This episode is so devastatingly amazing. Nothing impresses me more than the writing and acting behind the scenes with Sae-Byeok and Ji-yeong. Especially the latter, who was only introduced halfway through the fourth episode; Ji-yeong's character resonates so incredibly well despite being a character that is hardly prevalent. Her backstory is beyond saddening - to see and hear from someone who practically felt dead already, who believes that they have absolutely nothing left to live for, hurts so damn much. And then for her to finally find a brief glimmer of happiness in a bond with Sae-Byeok (whose actress did an incredible job despite it being only her first ever role) and to feel some form of peace by protecting this rare friendship that she has grown...only to end with that upheld composure, tears streaming down her face but a wide smile, as the gun is slowly raised to her head. Those scenes are masterclass examples of writing and directing. They make you feel deeply connected for a character that you hardly even know; very similar to how Ji-yeong grew to care for a person who she had previously known little about. Going forward, scenes with Sae-Byeok will feel heavier with the weight of Ji-yeong's sacrifice to her partner and friend.
I think you touched on it perfectly: a brief glimmer. In the English CC subs, her last line is “I’m honored we were partners.” In English subs, its “Thank you for playing with me.” And I think the latter hits home a bit more as we learn her backstory- that her childhood was fcked up. Going from an abusive childhood to correctional facilities, there’s not a lot of “playtime” in there. So when she says “thank you for playing with me”, it makes me feel like we see a glimmer of child-JY. I’ve seen other reactors say something like “one of you is dying- HELLO!” when JY (twice) forgets that her & SB won’t be making it out alive, together. But it’s important to keep in mind that she just said she went from prison to Squid Game. As far as she’s concerned, there’s not much of a difference between the two in the “interim”. So saying something like “when we get out, I’ll show you how to splurge/spend” feels natural to her.
It’s super messed up the game recruiter got to JiYong straight outta prison. Trauma councillors and therapists should be the first to meet her. It’s not just indebted people they rope in to play so the game is actually crooked, being “fair & equal” is BS.
Ji-yeong is my favorite character of the show and this is my favorite comment I’ve seen about her. So very well said. The fact that this young girl had her innocence TAKEN from her and she went to prison for it and emerged this hollow shell tugged my heart to my toes…and then when she’s talking to Sae and you see her light up at the thought of having fun and sharing moments together…only to remember that they won’t be able to…yeah, I was a mess.
I could see Adam holding it in so hard for the first two deaths. That’s why he had that breakdown when he no longer could. This is like my twentieth reaction that I’m watching and I bawled with Adam:(
Your friendship really has made me a forever fan. I’ve seen plenty of people make fun of others for crying. Its ok Adam, I won’t watch Onward again because I had a half hour long full body cry at the end. This episode wrecked me and I think it is one of the best executed episodes of a series EVER.
Hey man, if a show, or any piece of art can make me FEEL SOMETHING... it's awesome. They make you connect to these characters so well it makes you feel for them. A+ Skid(Squid) Game.
I swear to God I NEVER cry on Shows or movies no matter how hard they hit. Only exception is A silent voice. But this show dude it got me so damn hard. I couldn't hold it anymore when ji yeuong sacrificed herself, Ali's realizing the betrayal or The old man remembering his name.
I cried right from the 5th episode and when i started to watch 6th i cried the whole time. Yeah, my tears couldn't stop. And the reason was that old grandpa. I liked him soo much right from the start... I don't even know how to feel rn... I was soo rooting for him
I gotta say. I have been a huge fan of you guys for 3 years now. And this episode made me break my own rule of not subscribing to anybody. You guys are brilliant. I cried the first time when I watched this episode solo, after that I watched most other reactors do this one. And now, finally you guys also did it, and made me cry a second time. Good job I guess :). I was laughing with Jay while also crying with Adam. You guys are the best.
I remember the only time I cried like a little boy after being an adult was when my father was shot and killed 3 years ago. I was taught to never show my emotions as a man. this is why I respect you guys for showing your emotions the way I subconsciously prevent myself to do.
I know exactly what you mean about the not crying thing. My Dad told me and my Sister (both of his girls) that men are told crying is seen as a form of weakness, but he said he believes girls should be taught the same. So we were taught that, his logic for teaching us this was most men view females as over emotional anyway so crying makes it easier for them to dismiss you or what you're saying as irrational emotions. Sorry, I went on a tangent there your comment regressed me for a moment 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I also like to see people who are able to express their feelings freely, but it does hit me hard when I see a man cry, (maybe it's because how I was raised) but it just hits different.
I know that like 95% of these reaction videos by different people are a little exaggerated just for effect, but the emotions here are real and raw and it makes me happy that there are still people who are this emotionally healthy. Plus, I wish I had a friend like one of these two. It makes me sad that I'll never have someone that I can be close to like that. But at least they have each other :)
After watching this episode, I realized... Jay and Adam are gganbu 😥 Your friendship is so beautiful especially the way you two get emotional together, and comfort one another. Really the reason you guys are my favorite reaction Channel. Great reaction, love you guys!
First time in a long time where a show brought me to tears. Even Game of thrones, red wedding, didn't seem as bad as this episode...i think these actors deserve an Emmy nod just for these performances alone
I reacted just like Adam. The girl thanking the other girl for playing with her and smiling before she got shot broke me. I was crying just like Adam at the end.
Between watching the show and watching this, I learned that the first interaction in this episode where the girls decide to play together was actually their last scene together, filmed after the death scene - it hits so much different knowing that.
I cried watching Adam crying to a show that made me cry. It was that same honest emotional reaction to Mandalorian season 2 that made you guys the only reaction channel I sub to (60% represent). Sending love and peaches
Considering the emotional punches in Mandalorian were such a long time coming, it's all the more impressive how Squid Game was able to hit as hard as it does. Always been a fan of South Korean cinema, but was still taken aback by the sheer quality of the performances by the entire cast.
I've checked out other reaction channels and none of them have impressed me - there's something about Jay and Adam's banter, the emotions, and I think the quality editing that makes theirs really pop. I get bored watching other people watch things... and most of them never say anything and just sit there. lol what is the point? I found Adam and Jay after a recommended video after the Dear Evan Hansen trailer that brought me to their reaction to it... and their emotions and friendship dragged me in. I have yet to see any reaction channels knock it out of the park consistently the way Adam and Jay do.
I was bawling my eyes out the same way Adam was. My roommate was watching with me and he held me the same way. It was so painful to watch this episode.
This episode is for me the most powerful of the show. It is a scenario of simple horror, constant tension and pure emotion. Every performance hits and the direction keeps it focused where it should. The first episode may have spectacle but this.... The games are psychologically genius btw. The first 2 are shocking but solitary affairs. The third is a team game that builds bonds and has your guys succeed together, against other players no less. And then this one. They KNOW you will choose someone you trust. A Friend. The KNOW it.
So true! And it's one thing that bugs me about the whole concept. In the beginning as they're setting it all up, it's all about how it's fair and anyone can win. And it seems implied that there can be multiple winners - at no point does anyone think "I have to be the only one left" - but because of how the games are set up, it's impossible for more than a handful of people to win - if even more than one. So is it REALLY fair? Do they REALLY have equal chances? lol that's my two cents
@@Spiffiness03 I think that is a part of the point of the games. Consider what they do in the next one when someone has a completely legitimate advantage. Or how they manipulate the people to stoke tensions and rioting. The whole thing is very calculated. But there is nothing to suggest there cannot be multiple winners. And in any given game you as an individual do seem to have a fair shot. Well, as fair as anyone does. The whole thing is doing that deliberately as a critique. You can get so far on your own, then you need to get help to go further. And then at the end you must betray someone close to you/fight to come out on top. Everyone has a fair shot, but not "everyone" can come out on top
i cry exactly like adam and i’m so glad jay is there for support, this show makes you feel feelings viscerally hard. let it out, that’s what i’ve found works
I thought I'd be desensitized by now after watching a handful of episode 6 reactions... But when Adam started weeping, maaaaaan... Lost my marbles too.
I will say compared to other youtube channels, pReviewed is THE place I go for great guys giving honest emotions. I cried with them to the trailer for "Won't You Be My Neighbor." I cried with them in the Mandalorian, and now I've cried with them in Squid Game. I'm sure there are numerous other videos as well. These guys are so great and so consistently brave to be vulnerable to literally thousands of people!
Episode 6 breaks people. It sure as hell broke me. I knew this was going to be a really difficult one for you guys too. Glad you're on the other side of it. You two are amazing friends to each other. That's part of the reason this channel is so good to watch. Nicely done, gentlemen.
저는 한국인인데요 요즘 오징어 게임이 하도 인기가 있어서 그런가 외국인분들 리액션 영상이 유튭 추천영상으로 많이 뜨더라구요, 여기저기 봤는데 두분 리액션은 정말 너무 너무 진심이여서 이미 본 장면임에도 불구하고 또 눈물이 나네요. 멋진 두분을 알게되어서 기쁩니다^^ 나머지 에피소드들도 기대할게요~ 재미있는 한국영화, 드라마 많으니까 많이 봐주세요 ♥ I love guys ~!! ♥
Episode 6 Showcases: The treatment refugees go though, being used, manipulated and abused at the hands of others (Ali) How we treat our elders, how our frustrations can hurt them when they have no idea what they are going though hurts us so much we react poorly When you lose a close friend, someone that you made a connection with that seems more than family, and you shared all the pain and joy together. Episode 6, it haunts your soul, it hurts your heart and it is some of the best content ever created, and for that I am so grateful to have been a part of it, and to join in your reaction to this and all the other episodes, thank you guys.
Adam and Jay, you two are a true Gganbu! Please stay supportive of each other till the end. I hope your friendships be forever. Adam, God damn it! I used up all my tears because of you! No more tears left after this reaction! :)
You two are national treasures. All of your videos are incredible. The girls story line got me way too hard. Ji-yeong dropping her marble was step one then her saying “thank you for playing with me”…… snotty tears omg. Next episode is great too!
I love that you two are so obviously great friends. Jay is usually the emotional one and Adam always comforts and 'checks in.' But this time it was Adam. We should all be so lucky.
After about a year or so of watching these guys and enjoying their content, watching Adam have this real emotional moment at the end made me finally say okay imma subscribe and earned a Gganbu with me for life. 🤙😊
This episode gonna be famous in reaction circles. I've started calling it The Marble Wedding. Just absolutely brutal episode. Crushed me on first view, watching all my favorite reactors now get devastated when they reach this one. When I started watching this show, i expected crazy games and lots of blood, didn't expect the level of emotion they brought.
Just to add a little more context to Ali. You may have noticed that he was calling Sang woo "hyung" and not his name or ajjassi. this is a word used by Korean males here to address another male older than them who they are close to. Hyung literally means “older brother” in Episode 2, Sang woo told him he could call him that.
That’s why Ali’s “stupidity” isn’t stupid at all. He was following someone HE TRUSTED through previous interactions and who allowed to be called “hyung”. Sang woo was one of the very few people who treated him with respect.

It goes to show just how good this show is when Ji-Yeong a character that you know nothing about until this episode dies and it still hits you in the feels like a truck.
Man… good on both of you guys for being vulnerable on camera like this. This episode was really hard to watch, it’s not just the violence, it’s such overwhelming sadness and the senseless deaths of good people. Really says a lot about how well written and performed these characters are
Adam, I cried with you only I didn’t have anyone to turn to except my pillow and boy did I ever need to change my pillow case. This is why I follow you guys. Your friendship.
Adam and Jay, there is a reason why I watch so few other reactors on UA-cam, and this reaction is exactly why. There are so few reactors I find who are as open and honest and raw with their emotions as you two are. When I watch you react, I feel like I'm really watching it with you. Thanks for bringing such great honest content. May your friendship last a thousand lifetimes.
That yelp of pain from Gi-hun just kills me, like this whole episode kills me, but that last moment when he's walking away and he hears that gun shot and he's just crying and he lets out that yelp, like he felt it.
OMG at 18:44 I just wanted to jump though the tv and hug Adam. Wow!! is all I can say. Sending Hugs to both you guys. I think we all need a few days before we watch the next episode.
Seeing Adam so heartbroken and Jay so shocked and perplexed like this really touched me cause I felt the same emotions, everyone of these actors and actresses delivered an academy-award-worthy performance in this episode, unbelievable! Love u guys ❤️❤️🍑
Watching these guys unsubscribed Jay: *talks about the 40% who isn't subscribed* Adam: Come on Josh Jay: Joshua, get it done Me whose name is Josh: Well shit, guess I gotta then
lol they got you! I actually have been viewing almost all of their videos on my TV through the UA-cam app and was using it not logged in, so I'm part of that 40% number even though I AM subscribed. I just decided the other day to actually log into my account, so hopefully they're not like "oh no we lost a viewer" LOL
My heart breaks for Adam. My take is that he was close with someone who suffered from Alzheimer’s. It is one of the deepest pains and cruelest things that can happen to someone you love. Air hug to Adam and anyone else who has lost someone to that evil disease.
It's the raw emotions. Tears and laughs can be faked, but your emotions the joy, the sadness can't be. That's exactly why I love your channel. Much love from Northeast 🇮🇳 😇
Me 20 minutes ago: Damn I hope they don't just make a bunch of jokes and undercut how good this episode is. Me now: Fuck. I wish they made jokes instead. I don't like Adam crying :(
You both have such beautiful hearts and compassion. Such a healthy relationship with your own emotions 👏👏👏👏 plus you guys always make me giggle. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your reactions.
Awwwwww...this is probably my favorite reaction yet because the guy in the blue shirt had the exact same reaction as me when I first watched it, I had to just sit there and sob for a minute or two afterwards.
They need every award imaginable for this show! What is amazing to me is besides the popularity, is that people are appreciating the show in it's original Korean language and appreciating it. I lived between Japan and Korea for ten years and am so proud of how the world is loving this show.
I was really ugly cry laughing when I watched episode 6. Crying for the obvious reasons and laughing because even if I liked the first 5 episodes and liked the characters, I wasnt THAT invested in them but this episode made me feel so much for them, that I was just laughing haha It#s so nice to see both of them being that invested, that's pretty cool and even if I feel exactly the same and have a tear in my eyes again, I must say ... that Adam's cried "I'm not good" was simply hilarious and I laughed way too loud. Thanks for that, I love both of you
Watching this series alone, I had a much different emotional reaction. I was more blown away by how incredibly well made this show is. But seeing you guys react together just goes to show how powerful it is, especially this episode. You guys are my absolute favorite reaction channel, and you constantly prove that to me. You guys make me laugh, smile, ugly cry, and jump up and down with elation.
I think we all felt the same after watching this. Far play to Jay for holding it together cos I sure as hell didn't. I think its also the first time I've ever seen you guys speechless after an episode and It's an honest to God testament of how good the acting from the cast was and the musical score was haunting at the end.
This show does such an incredible job at getting you invested in these characters and it makes this episode so unbelievably heartbreaking. I was trying to binge the whole series in one go but I had to take a break after this one.
Here we go. Episode 6. Let’s cry together everyone, you’re not alone.
Literally every person that's reacted to this episode, I've cried along with them. It doesn't get any easier for me personally. Great GREAT episode!!

No channel comes close to the friendship and unadulterated humanity you two radiate. Love you both.
This episode is so devastatingly amazing. Nothing impresses me more than the writing and acting behind the scenes with Sae-Byeok and Ji-yeong. Especially the latter, who was only introduced halfway through the fourth episode; Ji-yeong's character resonates so incredibly well despite being a character that is hardly prevalent. Her backstory is beyond saddening - to see and hear from someone who practically felt dead already, who believes that they have absolutely nothing left to live for, hurts so damn much. And then for her to finally find a brief glimmer of happiness in a bond with Sae-Byeok (whose actress did an incredible job despite it being only her first ever role) and to feel some form of peace by protecting this rare friendship that she has grown...only to end with that upheld composure, tears streaming down her face but a wide smile, as the gun is slowly raised to her head.
Those scenes are masterclass examples of writing and directing. They make you feel deeply connected for a character that you hardly even know; very similar to how Ji-yeong grew to care for a person who she had previously known little about. Going forward, scenes with Sae-Byeok will feel heavier with the weight of Ji-yeong's sacrifice to her partner and friend.
The girls were a point of bright light in all this darkness. And remember: both were technically the “criminals”.
I think you touched on it perfectly: a brief glimmer. In the English CC subs, her last line is “I’m honored we were partners.” In English subs, its “Thank you for playing with me.” And I think the latter hits home a bit more as we learn her backstory- that her childhood was fcked up. Going from an abusive childhood to correctional facilities, there’s not a lot of “playtime” in there. So when she says “thank you for playing with me”, it makes me feel like we see a glimmer of child-JY.
I’ve seen other reactors say something like “one of you is dying- HELLO!” when JY (twice) forgets that her & SB won’t be making it out alive, together. But it’s important to keep in mind that she just said she went from prison to Squid Game. As far as she’s concerned, there’s not much of a difference between the two in the “interim”. So saying something like “when we get out, I’ll show you how to splurge/spend” feels natural to her.
It’s super messed up the game recruiter got to JiYong straight outta prison. Trauma councillors and therapists should be the first to meet her. It’s not just indebted people they rope in to play so the game is actually crooked, being “fair & equal” is BS.
Ji-yeong is my favorite character of the show and this is my favorite comment I’ve seen about her. So very well said. The fact that this young girl had her innocence TAKEN from her and she went to prison for it and emerged this hollow shell tugged my heart to my toes…and then when she’s talking to Sae and you see her light up at the thought of having fun and sharing moments together…only to remember that they won’t be able to…yeah, I was a mess.
Very well said ...😢
I've seen this episode like 10 times and I still burst out in tears
The acting in this episode was stellar all the way around.
I could see Adam holding it in so hard for the first two deaths. That’s why he had that breakdown when he no longer could. This is like my twentieth reaction that I’m watching and I bawled with Adam:(
I’ve been waiting for this one, this episode totally broke me. ETA: sending virtual hugs to Adam,. ❤️❤️❤️
I cried just about as long as Adam. It really tore at me at an emotional level I was not ready for
Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 🍑
Yeah, I sobbed when I watched this episode.
"They did a really good job" 😭😭
Your friendship really has made me a forever fan. I’ve seen plenty of people make fun of others for crying. Its ok Adam, I won’t watch Onward again because I had a half hour long full body cry at the end. This episode wrecked me and I think it is one of the best executed episodes of a series EVER.
I know right !! Same ✋
Hey man, if a show, or any piece of art can make me FEEL SOMETHING... it's awesome. They make you connect to these characters so well it makes you feel for them. A+ Skid(Squid) Game.
Y'all be fans to anybody huh
@@ninafamilia2619 what's that supposed to mean?
@@brettcoon9773 tf you think
“i’m thinking they aren’t gonna kill the losers here…”
Stage 1: Denial
I can’t tell you how hard and how long I cried for. I sat in my bathroom and cried for a solid five minutes. I had such a bad headache after.
I swear to God I NEVER cry on Shows or movies no matter how hard they hit. Only exception is A silent voice. But this show dude it got me so damn hard. I couldn't hold it anymore when ji yeuong sacrificed herself, Ali's realizing the betrayal or The old man remembering his name.
if I wished I experienced this the way yall did. but a lot of the parts got spoiled for me. but it was still so emotional and the acting was so good.
I cried right from the 5th episode and when i started to watch 6th i cried the whole time. Yeah, my tears couldn't stop. And the reason was that old grandpa. I liked him soo much right from the start... I don't even know how to feel rn... I was soo rooting for him
I gotta say. I have been a huge fan of you guys for 3 years now. And this episode made me break my own rule of not subscribing to anybody. You guys are brilliant. I cried the first time when I watched this episode solo, after that I watched most other reactors do this one. And now, finally you guys also did it, and made me cry a second time. Good job I guess :). I was laughing with Jay while also crying with Adam. You guys are the best.
Thanks for breaking your rule for us 😁
I remember the only time I cried like a little boy after being an adult was when my father was shot and killed 3 years ago. I was taught to never show my emotions as a man. this is why I respect you guys for showing your emotions the way I subconsciously prevent myself to do.
Men should be encouraged to feel safe to express sadness and emotion. My condolences ❤️
I know exactly what you mean about the not
crying thing. My Dad told me and my Sister
(both of his girls) that men are told crying
is seen as a form of weakness, but he said
he believes girls should be taught the same.
So we were taught that, his logic for teaching
us this was most men view females as over
emotional anyway so crying makes it easier
for them to dismiss you or what you're saying
as irrational emotions. Sorry, I went on a tangent
there your comment regressed me for a moment 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I also like to see people who are able to express their feelings
freely, but it does hit me hard when I see a man cry,
(maybe it's because how I was raised) but it just hits different.
고인의명복을빕니다

I know that like 95% of these reaction videos by different people are a little exaggerated just for effect, but the emotions here are real and raw and it makes me happy that there are still people who are this emotionally healthy.
Plus, I wish I had a friend like one of these two. It makes me sad that I'll never have someone that I can be close to like that. But at least they have each other :)
After watching this episode, I realized...
Jay and Adam are gganbu 😥
Your friendship is so beautiful especially the way you two get emotional together, and comfort one another.
Really the reason you guys are my favorite reaction Channel.
Great reaction, love you guys!
Hope jay didn't trick adam to anything lmao.
Are they friends?
i thought them couple
what a miss
@@우리고해 not a couple, good friends. GGANBU
@@AnonymousSaiyan Roser that!!
First time in a long time where a show brought me to tears. Even Game of thrones, red wedding, didn't seem as bad as this episode...i think these actors deserve an Emmy nod just for these performances alone
I reacted just like Adam. The girl thanking the other girl for playing with her and smiling before she got shot broke me. I was crying just like Adam at the end.
Ali's death and ilnam were much sadder
@@Miskeen20 for me it was the girl
Between watching the show and watching this, I learned that the first interaction in this episode where the girls decide to play together was actually their last scene together, filmed after the death scene - it hits so much different knowing that.
@@Harlitrix me too.
I am full on weeping because Jay and Adam just gifted us with a very unfiltered view into their beautiful and supportive friendship.
Thank you! ❤️
I cried watching Adam crying to a show that made me cry. It was that same honest emotional reaction to Mandalorian season 2 that made you guys the only reaction channel I sub to (60% represent). Sending love and peaches
SAME!! Their reactions to Luke were the reason I found this channel and subscribed.
Considering the emotional punches in Mandalorian were such a long time coming, it's all the more impressive how Squid Game was able to hit as hard as it does. Always been a fan of South Korean cinema, but was still taken aback by the sheer quality of the performances by the entire cast.
Same here. You guys are such a great duo, one of the best UA-cam channels out there, not just for reactions
I've checked out other reaction channels and none of them have impressed me - there's something about Jay and Adam's banter, the emotions, and I think the quality editing that makes theirs really pop. I get bored watching other people watch things... and most of them never say anything and just sit there. lol what is the point? I found Adam and Jay after a recommended video after the Dear Evan Hansen trailer that brought me to their reaction to it... and their emotions and friendship dragged me in. I have yet to see any reaction channels knock it out of the park consistently the way Adam and Jay do.
I was bawling my eyes out the same way Adam was. My roommate was watching with me and he held me the same way. It was so painful to watch this episode.
This episode is for me the most powerful of the show. It is a scenario of simple horror, constant tension and pure emotion. Every performance hits and the direction keeps it focused where it should. The first episode may have spectacle but this....
The games are psychologically genius btw. The first 2 are shocking but solitary affairs. The third is a team game that builds bonds and has your guys succeed together, against other players no less. And then this one. They KNOW you will choose someone you trust. A Friend. The KNOW it.
So true! And it's one thing that bugs me about the whole concept. In the beginning as they're setting it all up, it's all about how it's fair and anyone can win. And it seems implied that there can be multiple winners - at no point does anyone think "I have to be the only one left" - but because of how the games are set up, it's impossible for more than a handful of people to win - if even more than one. So is it REALLY fair? Do they REALLY have equal chances? lol that's my two cents
@@Spiffiness03 I think that is a part of the point of the games. Consider what they do in the next one when someone has a completely legitimate advantage. Or how they manipulate the people to stoke tensions and rioting.
The whole thing is very calculated. But there is nothing to suggest there cannot be multiple winners. And in any given game you as an individual do seem to have a fair shot. Well, as fair as anyone does.
The whole thing is doing that deliberately as a critique. You can get so far on your own, then you need to get help to go further. And then at the end you must betray someone close to you/fight to come out on top. Everyone has a fair shot, but not "everyone" can come out on top
I reacted the same as Adam, and I was alone. I stood in the bathroom and just sobbed for 15 minutes and then I couldn't sleep for almost a week.
i cry exactly like adam and i’m so glad jay is there for support, this show makes you feel feelings viscerally hard. let it out, that’s what i’ve found works
the acting was just incredible. These actors...man.. they are so dang good.
“Did we just become best friends?”
*yes. And I hate EVERYTHING* 😭🤧😭🤧
I thought I'd be desensitized by now after watching a handful of episode 6 reactions... But when Adam started weeping, maaaaaan... Lost my marbles too.
Damn Adam. You crying has got me crying. Never thought that would happen on pReview'd of all place.
Same.
I will say compared to other youtube channels, pReviewed is THE place I go for great guys giving honest emotions. I cried with them to the trailer for "Won't You Be My Neighbor." I cried with them in the Mandalorian, and now I've cried with them in Squid Game. I'm sure there are numerous other videos as well. These guys are so great and so consistently brave to be vulnerable to literally thousands of people!
Episode 6 breaks people. It sure as hell broke me. I knew this was going to be a really difficult one for you guys too. Glad you're on the other side of it. You two are amazing friends to each other. That's part of the reason this channel is so good to watch. Nicely done, gentlemen.
This is one of the most emotional reactions I’ve seen y’all are so sweet 😭
저는 한국인인데요 요즘 오징어 게임이 하도 인기가 있어서 그런가
외국인분들 리액션 영상이 유튭 추천영상으로 많이 뜨더라구요,
여기저기 봤는데 두분 리액션은 정말 너무 너무 진심이여서
이미 본 장면임에도 불구하고 또 눈물이 나네요.
멋진 두분을 알게되어서 기쁩니다^^
나머지 에피소드들도 기대할게요~
재미있는 한국영화, 드라마 많으니까 많이 봐주세요
♥ I love guys ~!! ♥
저는 전에 봤었는데
다시 보러 왔어요!
Episode 6 Showcases:
The treatment refugees go though, being used, manipulated and abused at the hands of others (Ali)
How we treat our elders, how our frustrations can hurt them when they have no idea what they are going though hurts us so much we react poorly
When you lose a close friend, someone that you made a connection with that seems more than family, and you shared all the pain and joy together.
Episode 6, it haunts your soul, it hurts your heart and it is some of the best content ever created, and for that I am so grateful to have been a part of it, and to join in your reaction to this and all the other episodes, thank you guys.
It has nothing to do with refugees.
@@benjamin-erlangen This has nothing to do with refugees. But the point is true 🙈
Adam and Jay, you two are a true Gganbu! Please stay supportive of each other till the end. I hope your friendships be forever. Adam, God damn it! I used up all my tears because of you! No more tears left after this reaction! :)
You two are national treasures. All of your videos are incredible. The girls story line got me way too hard. Ji-yeong dropping her marble was step one then her saying “thank you for playing with me”…… snotty tears omg. Next episode is great too!
I love that you two are so obviously great friends. Jay is usually the emotional one and Adam always comforts and 'checks in.' But this time it was Adam.
We should all be so lucky.
This by far is the realest reaction I've ever seen.
I just finished watching this episode with my daughter, then came here because apparently I feel the need to cry again.
After about a year or so of watching these guys and enjoying their content, watching Adam have this real emotional moment at the end made me finally say okay imma subscribe and earned a Gganbu with me for life. 🤙😊
This episode gonna be famous in reaction circles. I've started calling it The Marble Wedding. Just absolutely brutal episode. Crushed me on first view, watching all my favorite reactors now get devastated when they reach this one. When I started watching this show, i expected crazy games and lots of blood, didn't expect the level of emotion they brought.
Just to add a little more context to Ali. You may have noticed that he was calling Sang woo "hyung" and not his name or ajjassi. this is a word used by Korean males here to address another male older than them who they are close to. Hyung literally means “older brother” in Episode 2, Sang woo told him he could call him that.
That’s why Ali’s “stupidity” isn’t stupid at all. He was following someone HE TRUSTED through previous interactions and who allowed to be called “hyung”. Sang woo was one of the very few people who treated him with respect.

It goes to show just how good this show is when Ji-Yeong a character that you know nothing about until this episode dies and it still hits you in the feels like a truck.
This episode has broken EVERYONE, including myself. This one was really well done. The next three are going to be a rollercoaster.
Man… good on both of you guys for being vulnerable on camera like this. This episode was really hard to watch, it’s not just the violence, it’s such overwhelming sadness and the senseless deaths of good people. Really says a lot about how well written and performed these characters are
Man I can handle sad Jay with Adam to comfort him, or I can handle sad Adam with Jay to comfort him but when they both start crying......that's a lot.
Adam, I cried with you only I didn’t have anyone to turn to except my pillow and boy did I ever need to change my pillow case. This is why I follow you guys. Your friendship.
Adam and Jay, there is a reason why I watch so few other reactors on UA-cam, and this reaction is exactly why. There are so few reactors I find who are as open and honest and raw with their emotions as you two are. When I watch you react, I feel like I'm really watching it with you. Thanks for bringing such great honest content. May your friendship last a thousand lifetimes.
That yelp of pain from Gi-hun just kills me, like this whole episode kills me, but that last moment when he's walking away and he hears that gun shot and he's just crying and he lets out that yelp, like he felt it.
Adam's reaction to Ali handing out the bag to Sang Woo was 100% me. Adam's emotions are so pure
OMG at 18:44 I just wanted to jump though the tv and hug Adam. Wow!! is all I can say. Sending Hugs to both you guys. I think we all need a few days before we watch the next episode.
Seeing Adam so heartbroken and Jay so shocked and perplexed like this really touched me cause I felt the same emotions, everyone of these actors and actresses delivered an academy-award-worthy performance in this episode, unbelievable!
Love u guys ❤️❤️🍑
Adam in tears, literally has me tearing up again! 😭😭
Watching these guys unsubscribed
Jay: *talks about the 40% who isn't subscribed*
Adam: Come on Josh
Jay: Joshua, get it done
Me whose name is Josh: Well shit, guess I gotta then
lol they got you! I actually have been viewing almost all of their videos on my TV through the UA-cam app and was using it not logged in, so I'm part of that 40% number even though I AM subscribed. I just decided the other day to actually log into my account, so hopefully they're not like "oh no we lost a viewer" LOL
My heart breaks for Adam. My take is that he was close with someone who suffered from Alzheimer’s. It is one of the deepest pains and cruelest things that can happen to someone you love. Air hug to Adam and anyone else who has lost someone to that evil disease.
This reaction killed me. I feel you Adam and I appreciate you saying "It was a really good episode" in the middle of your tears. It was amazing haha.
Ji-yeong's story always gets me
"its almost Shakespearean, some of these shots" 100% Jay, right there 😂
It's the raw emotions. Tears and laughs can be faked, but your emotions the joy, the sadness can't be. That's exactly why I love your channel. Much love from Northeast 🇮🇳 😇
Me 20 minutes ago: Damn I hope they don't just make a bunch of jokes and undercut how good this episode is.
Me now: Fuck. I wish they made jokes instead. I don't like Adam crying :(
Usually Jay is the one to get emotional but Adam crying nearly devastated me.
Everyone: *Goes through emotional roller coaster*
Jay: just the bits!
If this episode doesn't get Squid Game an Emmy, the VIPs are running that awards show.
I cried during the episode but this is the only reaction that made me cry again. Damnit.
Omg same
You both have such beautiful hearts and compassion. Such a healthy relationship with your own emotions 👏👏👏👏 plus you guys always make me giggle. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your reactions.
I don’t know why Adam crying “they did a good job” reminded me of Dane Cook crying “I did my best!” lol
Awwwwww...this is probably my favorite reaction yet because the guy in the blue shirt had the exact same reaction as me when I first watched it, I had to just sit there and sob for a minute or two afterwards.
Feel good show of the year. . .
I'm gonna go drown my sadness in a bucket of Häagen-Dazs now.
This is the most honest reaction channel out there
They need every award imaginable for this show! What is amazing to me is besides the popularity, is that people are appreciating the show in it's original Korean language and appreciating it. I lived between Japan and Korea for ten years and am so proud of how the world is loving this show.
Best reaction channel, hands down.
I was really ugly cry laughing when I watched episode 6. Crying for the obvious reasons and laughing because even if I liked the first 5 episodes and liked the characters, I wasnt THAT invested in them but this episode made me feel so much for them, that I was just laughing haha
It#s so nice to see both of them being that invested, that's pretty cool and even if I feel exactly the same and have a tear in my eyes again, I must say ... that Adam's cried "I'm not good" was simply hilarious and I laughed way too loud. Thanks for that, I love both of you
Watching this series alone, I had a much different emotional reaction. I was more blown away by how incredibly well made this show is. But seeing you guys react together just goes to show how powerful it is, especially this episode. You guys are my absolute favorite reaction channel, and you constantly prove that to me. You guys make me laugh, smile, ugly cry, and jump up and down with elation.
8:03 ah yes Paint Ball, the traditional Korean children's game haha
I just want everyone to know that the world of kdramas is gorgeous and there are so many gems out there like this
Yup agree
Can you recommend some? There are so many and I don't know where to start 😊

@@lilith-4687 OK, I will, thank you!
@@korki3581 i would recommend prison playbook and the main actor was sung woo in this.
I think we all felt the same after watching this. Far play to Jay for holding it together cos I sure as hell didn't.
I think its also the first time I've ever seen you guys speechless after an episode and It's an honest to God testament of how good the acting from the cast was and the musical score was haunting at the end.
You guys are so emotional. I'm crying with you!
Adam crying just breaks my heart, man... What a damn good episode of a Tv show this was.
This show does such an incredible job at getting you invested in these characters and it makes this episode so unbelievably heartbreaking. I was trying to binge the whole series in one go but I had to take a break after this one.
*finally hits subscribe because it's the closest thing I can do to giving Adam a comforting shoulder pat*
Out of every reaction you guys have ever done, this is by far my favorite
