My little sister and I decided to do a marathon and binge watch all 9 episodes of Squid Game! Since we are half Korean, a lot of our reactions are based on our own personal experiences and understanding of Korean culture. Stay tuned for our next reactions, we’ll be uploading a video for each episode until the finale 🇰🇷

Thanks so much for your love on our Squid Game reaction videos! Just to clarify, since a lot of people think we watched spoilers before reacting to this episode - if you watch our first reaction video of this series, I mention that we avoided ALL the spoilers and binged watch the whole show, all 9 episodes, in ONE day haha. Which is also why we are wearing the same clothes in every video and looking progressively more tired 😂everything we saw is our own raw and real reactions, and our own predictions. Also just to add, the reason why we're uploading so late is because editing and adding subtitles has been taking us forever to do 🥺 thanks so much for waiting patiently for the next episodes, we're trying our absolute best to upload as quickly as possible!
저희 오징어 게임 리액션 영상들을 사랑해주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 댓글을 보니 저희가 스포일러에 노출되어 리액션을 한다고 하시는 분들이 있는데 저희는 스포일러 하나도 안 보고 오징어게임을 다 봤습니다! 편집이랑 자막 다는게 오래걸려서 늦게 올리는거에요ㅠㅠ 한달 전에 동생이랑 하루안에 9화 전부를 한번에 다 본 리얼 반응입니다. 저희 리액션 영상 1편 부터 보셨으면 아실거에요~ 9화 까지 저희가 올릴 모든 리액션 영성은 같은 옷을 입고, 같은 위치에, 같은 날에 다 찍은겁니다 ㅎㅎ 그래서 갈수록 더 피곤해 보일 수 도 있어요ㅠ 영상을 편집하고 자막을 추가하느라 시간이 너무 오래걸려서 업로드가 늦어졌습니다 🥺 저희 리액션 영상들을 기다려주셔서 너무 감사드리고 최대한 빠르게 업로드하도록 노력하고 있습니다!! 감사합니다~
The old man is the worst character . He is evil
Cool
다행ㅋ
리액션 전문(?)채널들처럼 과장되지 않고
자연스러워서 시청하기 편합니다
근데 이런 영상 올리는 이유가 뭐지~???
암튼 이뻐~!
I am enjoying watching this series again with people who actually are Korean and know the culture. I love how you point out specific things in the English subtitles for those of us who are not familiar with the Korean culture. It has definitely been worth the rewatch with that added information and I love your reactions! 👍
Alex and Emily are actually half Danish, half Korean, but their insight is appreciated.
Almost zero cultural insight here.
Just lots of silly and not really appropriate smile and after-effects insertions.
I expected more from them.
So, basically, word Korean in the title is a mere clickbait.
They are really interesting. This really shows how they care about knowing stuff they are interested in. Hopefully we get to see more of their reactions
Actually I was literally shocked that you guys never cried and looked even calm in the saddest scenes in this episode. Oh my god!!!
Cause she's watching a video with someone who spoils the shit out of you with their psychic shit to boost their ego.
Yeah they had already watched it. Fake
It’s because they’d already seen it
리뷰보러 왔다가 이쁨에 놀라고 가네..
진짜 두 분 다 미모가..ㄷㄷ
girls on the net: do men even have feelings? how could they not cry after watching titanic?
me: do women even have feelings? how could they not cry after watching marble episode?
ggan... boo...? 😢
5:35 이로써 쌍둥이들의 어머니는 경상도분임이 밝혀짐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
This episode truly shattered me. Now i'm watching reactions of it, and a few times i even cried again, such was the power of this episode.
P.S. Nice video, and great editing!
5:34 한국어 하시는 거에 한 번 놀랐고, 사투리 쓰시는 거에 두 번 놀랐음ㅋㅋㅋㅋ2개 국어 너무 부럽다…
Don't mind me. Just here for the tears 😀
Yup no luck here hehe
@UCdgv2yuPtHW-eGDrL-R-y3g you dickhead, get some help.
Same
But there arent any here lol.
5:34 한국말할때~사투리가 넘 귀여워요~😊💕
저는 6화 보고 심장에 불이 나서 화재 진압하느라 며칠 걸렸어요. ^^;
5:33 동생이 엄마 부르실 때 말투 너무 귀엽습니다!
엄마~ ㅋㅋ 너무 정겹네요
Wow I'm actually surprised by Alexandra, I thought she was going to have a minor breakdown this episode since she already cried in episode 2 😄 😂
한글자막 감사합니다. 두 자매분 반응은 조용하면서도 예상도 잘 맞히고..의외로 재미나요. 아차 두분다 너무 이뻐요
13:50 Hoyeon's first acting role. According to the director, she was so overcome by the scene that she didn't break character.
Seeing the sister on the right not shed a single tear all episode: “You’re so cold. As cold as ice.” 🥶
I was thinking the same, three sets of emotional scenes without a tear, "Stone Cold". The first two broke me.
@@ScratchJoe dud its clear they watched the show before, they know the old man was doing it to give him a chance, they know its a rock in Ali's bag, and knew the girl will sacrifice her self, also they knew they will be playing against each other, I mean come on.
@@khaled00962 I dont think they watched the show before, I have the same prediction when watching this, Stones are obvious, its obvious the girl would sacrifice herself, I even sense that player #1 is suspicious since episode 1. (if u already watched many other mystery movies) All of their predictions are normal, If they didnt predict at all and just react and react, then that would be possibly a scripted reaction.
I thought the same XD "make it quick" lol yikes
I lived in Korea for 4 years, and can't remember a Korean crying once.
This episode has probably my favorite scene in the series with 67 and 240. It broke my heart every time 240 brought up going to Jeju Island together when they both got out of the game.
Have seen 20+ reactions of this episode till now on youtube, this is the very first reaction where forget crying, I didn't even see teary eyes in the most saddest 199 and 240 death scenes of the episode.
They’ve seen it before, they’re just wanting to try to flex that they worked out the brother was the front man etc
알리 진짜 너무 불쌍함...외로운 타지 생활에 하필 인간같지도 않은 사장 만나서 개고생하다가 상우에게 처음으로 호의를 받았고 사장님이라는 호칭이 아니라 그냥 형이라고 부르라는 말에 완전히 그를 믿고 의지했는데...니가 먼저 형이라고 부르라며ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Damn you girls are strong. Just a single tear drop between the both of you.
I broke down sobbing like a child when sae byeok cried.
Everyone is desperate for their lives so you can not just judge Sang-woo and not Gi-hun. It's the survival instinct.
In all fairness, Il-nam is dying of a brain tumor and has lived a long life. Ali is young, trusting, and has a family. It's a lot easier to judge Sang-woo who is a fraud and a cheat who put his own mother's home and shop up for collateral while scamming people out of their money while Gi-hun has a gambling addiction that happened because he witnessed a co-worker get murdered in front of him because they were protesting being unfairly fired from the jobs they'd held for years.
@@knowledge-girl No put yourself in that position. What would you do ?? Sang-woo is desperate for the money to fix his life and he is willing to do whatever, so I don't judge him. It's not like he is killing people on the street for fun.
아이씨 저 잘 안웃는데 ㅠㅠ 언니분 눈알 굴릴때 영희 눈알 기습 매칭에 빵 터져버렸어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 편집 센스 보소!!
그리고 동생분 추리력 쩌네요! 굿굿~ 리액션 영상 잘 보고 갑니다~~~^^
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 감사합니다!!
예언력 뭐지...
노스트라다무스가 무덤에서 일어나 한마디 하것다
"자네 나랑 깐부하지 않을텐가"
에밀리 사투리도 쓰네 엄마랑 대화할때 엄마가 경상도 분인듯 ㅎㅎ
03:00 와~ 예언 적중 보소!
05:33 아니.. 어머니가 계실줄은 ㅋㅋ
15:26 분노와 슬픔의 눈빛 ㅠㅠ
16:57 결국엔 ㅠㅠ
한국느낌과 서양의느낌을 동시에 가지고 있으니 뭔가 신비롭네요
언니는 전체적으로 서양인같고 덩생이 약간 6서양 4한국 느낌인데
5:16 "IT'S A MAZE!"
Me in my room: "Haha well.. 👀"
There’s just something about Emily staring blankly into the screen lol.
Them: "i love the grandpa so much"
Me who finished the show: *oh.*
"Think he's gonna do it with the grandpa" 😂😂😂
Wow... Ladies, you're ICE COLD. I was bawling my eyes out and your big round eyes are bone dry.
they feels very sad, it doesn't need to crying out loud, it's better than act crying for views.
Hi Emily? looks like Olivia Hussey~~ I am a 63-year-old Korean and I am interested in languages, so I can explain [gganbu]. English combo' is The etymology of 'Gganbu(깐부) . After the Korean War, many Koreans learned English through the US military. Americans called small jazz bands Combo Band (깜보밴드). The meaning of 'combo ' has been expanded, so if a small group of people are on the same team, it's called 'combo'. Koreans who did not know the etymology pronounced 'ggombo' as 'cambo' or 'gganbu'. Long ago, even there were many English names for dog in Korea. 쭁(John) 매리( mary) 도꾸(dog).. lol~~
I love you guys reactions. You guys are beautiful and pure. But, it's like watching the reactions of Koreans. :)
Oh I did't perceive that this video isn't Korean video.I just know that when i saw this to a point of half. The Korean subtitles are very natural. I'm not sure my English but it's so good video
재밌는 포인트가 넘 많음
전혀 다른 자매 성격
귀여운 사투리 ㅋㅋㅋ
오늘도 재밌게 봤습니다
😀
The moment that i am waiting for since your eps 1 reaction video
와 번역있어서 너무 좋다!
5:34 으악ㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ너무 익숙한 사투리가 들려서 깜놀했어요ㅋㅋㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋ대박ㅋㅋㄱㅋ
이런~~쒸이!! 이번영상에도 둘은!!! 이뻤따아~~~~!!!^^ 감동과슬픔이 가득한6화는 역시~다시계속봐도...슬프네요!!!
영어로 고정시켜놓으신 글을 보니까 제가 느낀거랑 비슷하게 느낀분이 많은것 같네요~ 전 9화 까지 다 본 다음에 두분의 반응 영상을 봤는데요, 1편 영상에서부터 장면 장면보면서 두 분이 "이럴거야, 저럴거야"라고 지나가듯 던지는 말을 들으면 갑자기 뜨끔뜨끔, 마치 내 비밀을 다 알고 있는듯이 어떻게 처음부터 저런걸 다 예상하지? 하고 생각했었거든요~~ 정말 두분이 드라마, 영화를 정말 정말 많이 봐서 예측을 잘하시는건지, 아니면 원래부터 추리력이 뛰어나신건지 둘 중 하나겠죠? 어떤 장면에서 무슨 말을 했는지 여기에 쓰는게 다 스포일러가 될정도로 잘 맞추셔서 시나리오 작가가 보면 허무할거 같더라구요. 인물설정이며 곧 이어 이어질 이야기 예측이며 거의 결말부에 나올 상황까지 이야기하시는데 정말 놀랐습니다.
제가 한번 부탁드리자면 9편까지 다 리액션 영상 찍으신 다음에 꼭 한번 자신들이 올려놓은 리액션 영상을 보는 리~리 액션 영상 한번 찍어주세요. 아마도 자기 자신들도 "내가 이걸 이때 어떻게 알았지?"하시는 반응이 재미있을것 같네요. 꼭 부탁드립니다.
pretty emotionless reactions tbh.. I've seen grown ass men cry throughout this specific episode due to the spectrum of human emotion, survival instincts, and conflicting emotions but only dry eyes here
Pretty obvious after watching that they’ve seen it before
I haven't clicked on a youtube notification so fast before! So excited to see your videos. Would you be so kind to let us know when you plan on uploading your videos? I'd like to make sure i'm not busy, like driving or sleeping here in the USA, so that I can watch your videos as I always look forward to watching them. Thank you for sharing your videos.
포브스 선정 TV쇼 프로중에 최고의 에피소드중 하나로 선정된 6편에서 울지 않으셨어...펑펑 우실거라 기대했는데 ㅠ-ㅠ
제가 바라는거 그냥 말한건데 그게 기분이 나쁘신가요? 님이 바라는 리액션과 제가 기대한게 다를뿐인건데... 왜 따지듯이 저한테 이런글을 다시는지?
16:57
I ugly cried my ass off during this one. 😥
가장 기다렸던 영상이야ㅋㅋㅋ
i was suprised that u re sister not sad at all in this episode., or she is a 'stone heart'...😐😅
They cried a lot at ep 2 because it really mirrors modern day south korea

두분의 심미안 기준은 동양보다는 서양에 가까우신것 같네요
저도 전부터 막연히 알고는 있었지만 서양인과 동양인의 예쁘다 기준은 좀 다릅니다
사람마다 취향의 차이는 있겠지만 일반적인 동양남자가 예쁘다고 생각하는 기준에선 새벽을 연기한 정호연 배우와 알렉산드라님 두분중 더 미인을 고르라고 한다면 십중팔구는 알렉산드라님을 더 미인이라고 대답할거에요
솔직히 말해 서양인 기준에선 정호연씨를 미인이라고 생각할지 모르지만 동양인 기준에선 정호연씨를 전형적인 미인이라고는 생각하지 않거든요
동양인에게 미인의 기준은 큰눈과 하얀피부 작은광대뼈등 서양인과 반대되는 기준이죠
와 팩트다. 맞아요. 저두 정호연 개성있네정도. 전형적인 동양미인은 아니죠. 뭐지 킬빌에 일본야쿠자보스역활햇던 여배우 느낌. 동서양의 미인기준이 다름. 저도 두자매분이 훨씬 이쁘고 아름답다고 생각함.
Il nam really made Gi Hun feel like Judas in front of jesus, after he gave "Judas' kiss" in the end. Il Nam is to die for

Ooh new episode! Oww.. It's Gannbu...
상우는 착한놈은 아니죠 그런데 그렇다고 상우가 나쁜놈일까요? 이 게임의 전제는 서바이벌입니다 거기에 걸려있는건 내 목숨이고요
물론 속임수는 나쁜거죠 그런데 그렇게라도 하지 않는다면 결과는 죽음입니다
과연 이 세상에 속임수가 나쁘다는 이유만으로 내가 죽는다는 선택을 할수있는 사람이 몇이나 될까요?
다른 사람들은 모르겠지만 저는 상우와 같은 선택을 했을거 같다는 생각이 드네요
Thank you for your reaction! So cool! thank you!
I’ve been waiting for ur reaction for this episode 😁
my favorite part was where they said men are statistically are better at most things.
Thanks for the high quality video and reaction. Also subtitle, too.
Half korean people always beautiful and good looking. God bless ur sisters and family. 7화 리액션도 기다리고 있습니다
수고하세요.

신비로운 외모에... 영어 할 땐 좀 시크? 한 느낌도 드는데.. 갑자기.. 05:37 어떻게 하는 건데↗? 사투는 또 귀여운 느낌이 팍 드니 ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
구슬로 할 수 있는 게임은 꽤 많긴 하죠
저기 나온 던지기도 있고, 홈에 넣는 것도, 구멍 여러 개 파서 한 바퀴 도는 것도... 홀짝은 기본이고, 구슬 치기도 있고...
만드는 대로 할 수 있는 거라... ㅋ
스마트하시네요 보면서 예상이 거의 맞아.
5:07 Emily stop! stop! Stop! 😂😂😂
Interesting when I come across reactors who predict at least 75% of what's going to happen or what any character is going to say or do, where most anyone else doesn't. At the same time, it seems like they're on the brink of yawning through most of it. Any reaction they do have I would be surprised that they have one at all. Nothing is a surprise here afterall.
Pretty obvious they’ve watched it prior to making the videos
여러개의 오겜 리액션을 봤지만 한국문화를 알고 계시니까 리액션 반응이 더 재밌어요. 자매 두분이 둘다 너무 이쁜건 덤 ㅎㅎ
An age and an age I have waited for this moment

Thanks loveing korean movie...
고마워^^

Always looking forward to your reactions. I think Sang-Woo is one of most human players in the game. What would you do if your life is on the line? That is the question being asked in this episode.
If I were in that situation, I would have done it like Sangwoo
Sang-Woo has exhausted all options: fairplay, intimidation, begging. Before resorting to cheating.
Most of the people who turned to be Sang-Woo's couch-"haters" would sell Ali's ass without any shyness and way easier if they were in Sang-Woo's shoes, believe me.
@@lo0k3r yea exactly, because he couldn’t accept the loss. Understandably so, but don’t act like every single person would resort to that level. Right before that we see someone like ji yeong, who could’ve also argued etc, but she gave to loss “because it was right.” We see others just accept their fate or change the game to win fairly. Not manipulate so callously. Ali was winning, but sang woos ego couldn’t accept it. I definitely wouldn’t have even thought to do something like that even if I knew my life was on the line
@@pencil6965 You don't know what you would have thought in such situation, and I wish you will never have to find out.
It had nothing to do with ego, but it was a will to live, a survival instinct, which is arguably the most powerful one.
Sang-Woo of all players has had the most acute understanding of the cruel reality of the games (every man for himself) and of what kind of attitude is required to make it out of them.
He was determined to save his life at all costs. We can see throughout the games that he actively focused on increasing his chances. Numerous times he has tried to help out others when he could and adhere to morally 'good' actions.
When it came down to choices "his life vs the life of another player", he prioritized his life. He did what he had to do to survive.
He like everyone else was forcibly put into such conditions and before such choices.
Can we really blame him for valuing life over honor and not making sacrifice? Honor is all good and esteemed, but ultimately, most of the times, life is more important.
I think it's too much to ask for sacrifice from a man in such circumstances. Especially, when those people are basically strangers. Yes, they got close in those few days, and there is that 'brother' thing between Sang-Woo and Ali, which makes the betrayal more painful. But still. They didn't owe their lives to each other. One of them was going to die.
I did not mean every person would resort to that level. I just meant most people would value their life over life of another.
'Resorting to that level' requires gumption, quick thinking, and ability to remain cold-blooded in extremely stressful environment. Many people would not be able to think straight.
They might just give up and 'accept their fate', though not out of fairness or honor, but rather inability to find a way out. Most people, if they would be in a position to sacrifice like Sang-Woo was, they wouldn't.
@@pencil6965 Regarding Ji-yeong.
I love her scene the most.
Hers is a beautiful and heroic sacrifice.
First of all, I disagree 'it was right'. It wasn't right to die for anyone there. Moreover, it's not like any of them both has deserved to live or to die more, despite however much they 'had to live for' or who had a bigger family.
Ji-yeong might have found her reasons to live had she more time, find joy in life, have a family, too.
If you are willing to go into such comparisons, which I suspect is an easy thing to do following the line of thinking suggested by the filmmakers, yet most likely a fallacy, - you might say Ji-yeong has had perhaps a stronger beating from fate. Sae-byeok has some family left, at least. Then by what right it is 'more right' for Ji-young to give her life?
Secondly, it was an out-of-the-ordinary act, not everyone is a hero.
Thirdly, and I am not casting any shadow on it, yet lets think on the hardness of her decision.
From little what we know about her, she is portrayed as a person hard-boiled by super harsh life experiences, who is quite unimpressed by impending death, and already does not value her life that much.
I mean compare her attitude to life with some average person who still sees things to live for. She values her life less in comparison. Hence it is easier for her to sacrifice.
Sang-Woo was also shown suicidal before the return, but apparently his attitude has changed later, and will to live was awaken. So it was harder for him to sacrifice in comparison to Ji-yeong.
Similar with oldman (if we disregard he was immune to death by the game), he valued his life less and was expecting to die.
But imagine if Ji-yeong has had the same background as Sae-byeok. It would be much harder to sacrifice for her.
However, it does not diminish a single bit of her selfless deed.
She might have appeared cynical and indifferent, yet in the end the imminence of death has brought her emotion and aliveness to the surface.
She didn't have anything left, yet she gave the last she had - her life. And she did in style. Powerful!
