WARNING: Spoilers ahead, obviously🚨
Hello dear reader! It’s me ! Take it up with another “I watched this so you don’t have to” message. For over a week now, I have heard several people talking about this show called Squid game, so I decided to take a look!
Right off the bat, I admit that I don’t know anything about this show. Is it a game show? A drama? A comedy? An aquatic documentary? Who has to say!
So, even though no one asked, I decided to watch the first episode of the series and give you my opinion anyway:
Before we jump in, here is the synopsis that Netflix gives for Squid game:
Netflix
“Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to participate in children’s games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits – with deadly stakes.”
Initial thought: I didn’t know this show was in Korean !! But I am HERE FOR THIS! I love that a foreign show makes all this buzz!
Thirty seconds and I can already do this:
This guy (aka Gi-hun, our protagonist) is trying to steal money from his mom’s bank card! I’m not rooted for this guy at all:
Netflix
Unfortunately, Gi-hun discovered the pin – it was changed from her birthday to her daughter, Ga-yeong’s birthday. The very girl he should buy a present for and instead uses those funds to bet on the fucking ponies. SMH. I won’t be angry if he dies.
I’m so angry that Gi-hun won, but I hope he uses his winnings to buy Ga-yeong a really nice birthday present:
Gi-hun’s bookies are suing him for the money he owes – and, TBH, I don’t approve of the game, but I’m not sorry that this man gets his ass kicked – and while he is on the run, he comes across this kid who I FEEL LIKE will come back into play:
Netflix
You don’t dwell on someone like that for one fell swoop.
I WAS RIGHT! The kid stole his money!
Okay, they give him a month to get the funds, but sir, DON’T SIGN ANYTHING UNLESS READ IT!
Netflix
“Notice of physical rights.” THIS! IS! SUS!
Ga-yeong is an icon and deserves a better father than Gi-hun:
Netflix
Icons only. Also, what a surprise, Gi-hun not only didn’t get her a present, he couldn’t even buy her the fried chicken she wanted!
THINGS HAPPEN !!
Netflix
Gi-hun has a month to pay off those thugs AND his mom! Not to mention the fact that he gave his daughter a crappy birthday, so I think he’s gonna play this game and have some mula, baby!
My mind immediately turned to this. I’m just saying:
It seems known … but obviously I want him to play because I have to see how it goes:
WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT READING BEFORE SIGNING SOMETHING?
Netflix
Sure you won some money in a slap game, but now this stranger OWNS YOUR BODY, SON!
Gi-hun is going to play the ~ mysterious ~ game in order to earn money to get his daughter back / prevent her from moving to America with her mother and stepfather.
Netflix
I also suppose it has something to do with paying off your debts. But it is still the most valiant thing he has done of all the episodes.
Holy shit. That’s a lot of people participating in this game …
Netflix
There are 456 people to be exact.
OMG, IT’S TT’S CHILD!
Netflix
“I didn’t run away, I just became independent.” It’s a bullet line. But also, don’t hit a young girl.
OK, we get rules! Six matches in six days, and if you win, you win money …
Netflix
… However, I don’t think I’m taking a risk when I say there is NO WAY it is so easy.
Awe, sookie sookie, now!
Netflix
They are all desperate … which means they will do anything to win.
Another day – or rather, the same day – another contract signed without reading the fine print:
Netflix
It’s worrying and it’s not going to end well.
OK, the first game is “Green Light, Red Light!” Sounds easy enough! I used to play this game when I was a kid:
Netflix
I don’t like them saying if you lose you will be “knocked out”. Like game yeeted … or life yeeted ???
The big brother … or, I guess, the big doll, is still watching:
Work smarter, not harder. Hide behind someone so that your movements are not detected:
Netflix
I am rooting for this girl.
WAIT, WHO IS THIS MANS?
Netflix
He’s an STRANGER and he saved Gi-hun from certain death. I take that again; I am rooted for HIM.
HOLY. SHIT. Again, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started this series, but now your daughter is HOOK! I will say if gore isn’t your thing maaayyybeeee stay away from this one, but if you don’t mind the bloodshed and twisted mind games then this show is for you!
