Squid Game Season 3

The ending destroyed the impact

Watching 1-5 episodes of the series was a huge emotional ride, the story basically shows how far people will go for money. I know that message was portrayed for the series in general, but even when a baby is involved, some people still look for themselves. The dying of each character was also really emotional, not like crying emotional but a sudden shock, some deaths are expected tho, the way the story goes. But overall for me, it was a great emotional rollercoaster. The last fight between 456 and 333 was intense, a father who was about to kill his own child for money. And the twist was just sad, and 456's death was the one that hit the hardest, because since squid game was known for this main character. His death was loud silence. Even the cringey VIP's were speechless, as well as the viewers. Did i expect it? Not really. Now let's talk about the ending, the No.11 soilder got great news about her daughter, and the guy escaped and his daughter was healed. The most irritating thing was that, we got no major questions answered. We know the chairmen once was a player now, even though that was already known if you use the internet. And that's about it, it's just alot of questions unanswered again. People were expecting answers with this season, yet nothing. And that alone is bad enough there is another mess. After the chairmen deliver 456's belongings to his daughter. I expected something of a twist with the baby or something that can be more exciting. And then random people in America is doing the freaking flipping card game. As if nothing even happened this whole season. The impact of the whole show just went downhill with that ending, i didn't even had time to feel abit empty about 456's death. Also, what i want to say now is just my opinion but, why do VIPs talk like disney characters? That's just cringe for me, just me tho. Well, overall the ending ruined the whole feel of the show.

Do not waist your time! Total disaster.

What a disaster! The worst drama of the year. I cannot believe that it went from a masterpiece to a shit show. It only has six episodes, but I was checking how much time is left of the episode, and it seemed so long. I got bored, so I even started skipping scenes at the last episode. Even if you have a huge budget, it doesn't mean it will be a great show, and this drama is an example.
The storyline was all over the place. I hated the scenes with VIPs as it was boring, and it did not fit the show. I don't know why, but I started to dislike no. 456 and did not feel any emotion at the end.
The best thing in the drama were the new games that were insane. Also, the great acting kept the boat afloat as the writing was very bad.
At least they could have kept Thanos alive until the end so he could keep the show interesting, as he did in the previous season.

Spoiler:


Looking for your brother for the whole two seasons, and in the end, you just say "Why?" Also, killing almost all main characters at the beginning, so at the end, there is a bunch of unknown characters except for a few.
The ending wasn't satisfying at all. I was expecting such a crazy plot twist that did not happen. Instead... let's have an American Squid Game to make more money!

Boring, disappointing, and all of the above

First things first it was all predictable. You could predict almost everything while watching except the fighting sequence. The ending was spoiled by the director before the airing saying it is going to be a sad ending which already gave it away that Gi hun will die. The story was disappointing It felt like they just wanted to shock people by killing everyone. There was too much drama, especially with the kid. Netflix made it feel more like a money-making show than a good story. Season 3 was a complete disappointment to me. And I for sure knew this would happen. Felt like it was forcefully made and stretched cuz of the popularity. They should've just ended it after 1 season.

Guys please save your energy & time and don’t waste it on this!

I Was NOT Ready for This Ending — My Heart Is Gone.

It’s crazy how everything ended. I swear, I am very, very, very, very, very, very surprised. I honestly wasn’t expecting this type of ending. It hit like a truck.

Let’s start with Player 456 — he was given a horrible option by Player 001, who we now know is the Front Man. He told 456 to eliminate everyone while they were sleeping. Just imagine. But Player 456 couldn’t do it. The trauma had already broken him. He was tired — so tired of seeing people die, of watching blood every second.
And honestly, if it were you, wouldn’t you be tired too?

Then there’s Player 120... Oh my God. That was the most painful part for me. She was only trying to help, to protect the others — and she got killed. She didn’t deserve that. Her death hurt me deeply. She was brave. She was strong. But in this game, even the strongest fall.

Player 388… that guy? That guy was a whole snake. I don’t even know what to say about him — I’m just speechless.

And then Player 222. She had a swollen leg, and she knew it would affect her performance in the next game. Even if she played, she was going to fail. So what did she do? She ended it herself. She committed suicide. That moment tore me apart. She didn’t even get a real chance to fight. It just hurt.

Now let’s talk about Player 007 and his mother — Player 149. That scene? It was another level. She had to kill her own son because he was trying to kill Player 222’s baby. Like what? What kind of madness is that? I couldn’t even process it.

And Player 333 — he was actually the one who got Player 222 pregnant. Then he tried to take the baby from Player 456 just so he could grab the prize money and escape. He didn’t make it though — he died. All that scheming and pain, and it still ended in death.

In the end, almost everyone died. The only ones who survived were:

The Front Man (Player 001)

Pink Guard 011

And one other guy (I forgot his number but he survived too)


But what really, really broke me was the death of Player 456. After everything, he still died. And then Player 001 (the Front Man) went to look for him. That scene? That was the most touching part of the game. It ended with tragedy and silence.

This wasn’t just a show — it was a whole emotional breakdown. The ending was so dark, so painful, and so unexpected. I don’t even know how to explain it.

Just one word:
TRAGIC.

Don't waste your time

I don't know how ot happened but I started this with zero expectations and still ended up disappointed.

The first season of Squid Game was one of the best ever it was near perfect and it would've had they not continued the story.

Season 2 introduced a very interesting cast of Characters it was funny and seemed to have some potential, but then, nothing happened most of the runtime wasted on pointless conversations and repetitive voting scenes, I kept waiting for the fun games to start and then it ended and nothing really happened.

I only watched season 3 because I didn't want to leave the series unfinished but maybe I should have, 6 hours of my life wasted nothing to show for it, the ending left me feeling empty, unsatisfied and angry. Such aa great cast and one of the worst storyline I ever sat through.

Please if you haven't watched this season yet, just don't,you won't be missing anything.

HUMANS ARE...

Humans are monsters. It's as simple as that. At least, most people are. Even for their own blood, when money and their life is on the line, they'll do whatever it takes. Or at least, thats what we think. What about that small percentage? What if you sacrifice your own life for someone who hasn't even gain consciousness of the world yet? Well, Gihun did exactly that.

Honestly, I don't really know where to begin on this review. I'm just in so much shock. I sat there for a good 20 minutes just TRYING to unpack what the hell just happened. Did I wake up at 3AM to watch this? Yes. Did I cry multiple times at just 5 in the morning? Also yes!! Season 3 is the end, at least that's what it seemed. Maybe the end for the Korean games, but who knows about elsewhere.

Since I dont really know where to start, lets talk about the thing that destroyed me most, the deaths.

I'm not going to go in the order they died, but I will go for the order of the games.

Hide and Seek, basically:

Gosh, where do I begin? The biggest heartbreak? Hyeon Ju? Oh my gosh. I expected it when it didn't show behind her but Myeong Gi? Her death absolutely destroyed me. She already lost do much last season, and I expected for her comeback this season, but they barely even gave her a chance.

Other than that, Dae Ho. Honestly I was sad, but not as sad as I expected. He was getting on my nerves, although I would probably act the same way, scared. Gi Hun had it out for him, which didn't help at all, which eventually led to his demise.

Finally, Yong Sik. I don't think I wouldve cried if he died because he hadn't killed anyone, but the way he died is what got me. His own mother having to kill him because he was going after Junhee is absolutely insane. I know he was scared, but damn.

In between this and the next game, the mother, Geum Ja, must've felt so guilty that she hung herself. Was it sad? Absolutely. Did I cry? No. Why? Because it was so unexpected. I saw them bringing in the box and I was like "did another person live?" Sadly not.

In the next game, which was Jump Rope, 2 people died.

First was Nam Gyu. Nothing to say to that except: Thank God!!!

Next one.. Oh my gosh. Before we talk about that, lets talk about actually crossing. Junhee hurt her leg during Hide and Seek, therefore she trusted her baby to Gi Hun, who took the baby and made it across. As everyone is crossing, the time is only ticking. Myeong Gi tries to help her, which her reply is "What are you going to do? Carry me?" YES!!!! HE SHOULD.

Well, he didn't. He made it across, and it leaves Junhee as the only ALIVE person that hasn't made it across. Gi Hun was going to go to her, but she testified. In the end, she couldn't make it across and sacrificed herself and jumped off.

Gosh, it's already been an emotional rollercoaster and we're just on episode 4.

The next, and FINAL game. It's, well, I'm not sure what to call it. Lets just call it the shapes for now, okay?

Who dies?

First off, Min Su. I loved him a LOT in season 2, but this season, he was off. I understand he was going a little crazy but still. In the end, he died.

Then, the next shape, it turned into chaos and EVERYONE but Myeong Gi, Gi Hun, and the baby dies. Well, Myeong Gi and Gi Hun fight to the death, but don't press the button to start the match. You don't understand how much that stressed me out. In the end Myeong Gi dies from falling.

It's just Gi Hun left now, well, him and the baby. Is he going to sacrifice himself or the baby. "I promised Junhee." Therefore, as I mentioned from the beginning, some people aren't as monstrous as we think. He says his goodbyes, and falls to his death. Now, a literal fetus has won the game.

My thoughts on the ending? Absolutely horrible.. But I can't stop watching. I just HAD to know the end. Gi Hun gave it his all, and he truly didn't deserve that ending.

In MY perfect world, the winners are Gi Hun, Jun Hee (with her baby), Hyunju, Min Su, and Geum Ja. What about Myeong Gi, Yong Sik, and Dae Ho? If it's a perfect world, hopefully they'd be better people, but they sucked this season.

Either way, that ending was absolutely horrid. Did it really have to end like that? And is it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 the end?

darker and deeper!

Season 3 shifts its focus from just survival to the system behind the games. It dives into the people funding everything, the power dynamics, and how far the corruption reaches. The change in direction is interesting and adds depth, but it might not hit the same for people who preferred the fast-paced intensity of Season 1.

Gi-hun is back, but he’s different now. He’s not playing to survive anymore. He’s more focused, colder, and clearly on a mission. It’s a good development for his character, but it also creates some distance. You don’t feel as connected to him emotionally like in earlier seasons. He feels more like a symbol than a person at times.

The games are still creative and tense, but they’ve moved away from being purely physical. This time, they play on trust, guilt, and manipulation. One of the best ones involves players having to reveal personal secrets to decide who deserves to survive. It’s heavy in a different way. There’s less gore, more psychological damage.

Pacing is one of the season’s weak points. The middle episodes slow down a lot. It focuses more on worldbuilding and side characters, which adds context but takes away from the tension. Some new characters stand out, but a few are clearly just there to die or move the plot forward. They don’t all feel fleshed out.

The production quality is still high. The sets are detailed, unsettling, and the atmosphere is strong. The music and camera work build tension in a way that feels more mature this time around.

The ending brings a major twist that will split people. Some will love how bold it is, others might feel it tries a little too hard. Personally, I think it ties the season together well and gives Gi-hun’s story a proper direction.

Season 1 leaves you wanting more. Season 2 makes you regret asking for it.

Season 3... how do I even begin to review this?

First of all, don’t worry — I won’t go into spoilers. If for any reason I do mention something spoiler-y, I’ll make sure to give a warning.

So, here’s the deal.
When I don’t like how a series ends, I try to remind myself that it’s partly my own fault — that the show suffered under the weight of my expectations. And I know this series is full of plot holes, unrealistic situations, contrived character development, laughable explanations, and a whole load of “shock the viewer” moments. It feels overly commercial at times.
Do I sometimes wish for an ending wrapped in a pretty pink ribbon? Yes.
Do I know better by now? Also yes.
Should I just go watch a Disney movie next time? Probably.

If you enjoy a story- and character-driven narrative with incredible acting, you’ll love it.If you require an explosion every minute to stay entertained — you’ll love it too.If you’re looking for something darker, something that leaves a knot in your stomach and makes you walk away questioning the nature of humanity — this might be for you.
However, I did feel that the overall story execution was underwhelming — especially the ending. Not as bad as Season 2, but... yeah.

My Feelings, in %:
100%: Yup, the ending sucked. I didn’t like it. At one point, I thought we were heading for a Westworld-style twist — and, well… they went for it.
90%: There was no way this series was going to end in a way that satisfied me. Good and evil, greed and justice, loss and gain — they exist side by side and can’t be cleanly separated. I’m sorry. I, too, want to live in a fairy tale where the hero wins and the villain disappears forever.
60%: Every 30 minutes: “Maybe I should reread 1984. Or stare at a wall. That might be better.
30%: I’m still a fan... but honestly, it could’ve ended with Season 1.
10%: Do we need a spin-off? Or is this just turning into a money-making machine recycling the same story?
cough yes cough

Anyway, I’m off to emotionally recover... or rewatch Season 1. Whichever comes first.
That’s all I can say.

surprising news: netflix destroys yet another series to promote a remake

this whole season feels like "buy one get one free" offer. my criticism towards previous season felt really justified after finishing this dragged-out season.
no eul, in ho and gi hun heavily carried this season. i wish we could've learned more about in ho, since he's the most complicated character in the show. also, no eul was handled pretty poorly, but it was nothing compared to all other additional characters - or should i say, cannon fodder. they literally had no purpose other than to provide cute tiktok edits or pro-life propaganda (which no one really dares to bring up).
this season's saving grace was gi hun's character development. for the first time, viewers can see him struggle with the games in the way that has never shown before. in previous seasons, he had hope for a better tomorrow. after his failed attempt at leaving the games, gi hun becomes more vulnerable and unstable. unlike others, he never loses focus on why he first joined the games, which was to support his family financially. this is beautifully shown through him keeping jun hui's baby alive, which in the end cost him his own life. the scene where other players try to kill a baby to win the games was probably one of the most fcked up scenes i've seen in a TV series in a long time, but it was also so well written that i can't complain. as a viewer you can tell this scenario was written by someone questioning the future of the humanity.
honestly, i don't see anything wrong with the ending. there's no what ifs or buts. i'm just glad that the baby and junho survived. i had no hope for other characters. season 2 and 3 point was to promote the american remake anyway. hopefully, hwang can have a nice holiday on a remote island [without the games] as he wished for.

Hyped up with all sorts of theories but they chose to dug their own grave

After Squid Game season 2 ended I was genuinely excited to know what will happened and I waited for 6 months just for this disaster.Personally,I am not a harsh person when it comes to ratings on shows but this show got me so anticipated since the first season aired but the ending from season 3 genuinely made me angry—they did all that so they could continue with a ‘Squid Game America’ type of shit.The fans built up all of the conspiracy and I was doing my own predictions too.Guess Gi-hun’s plot armour really ran out that it could not stop the director.My first issue with it is all the amazingly built up character’s deaths,120;Hyun-ju who was a trans-woman and a former top soldier but guess who she died to?A fuckass bitcoin youtuber.Sounds straight out of fiction like that YouTuber has some sleeper build.Player 149;Yong Sik’s mother has got to be the most disappointing death.She killed her son to stop him from killing 222 and the baby oh and guess what she fucking kills herself.She could have spent the rest of her time to protect 222’s baby,she traded her son’s life for the baby and then she just kills herself?This woman is a survivor of wars and yet she died such a useless death,you know what she could have done?Make her son stab her then distract her son with her death to save 222 and her baby.In this way we could have seen 007,her son’s reaction to her death and he would have been a good character.Dae Ho’s death was so stupid and unnecessary but at the same time I understood why gihun blamed him,dae ho could have lived if he had cleared the misunderstanding and gihun reacted more composed.Dae ho could have helped gihun protect the baby but it was so wasted.Myung gi,A star that fell,a star that would do anything to go back into the sky.Now I don’t have any biases in this season but I genuinely wanted to see myung gi win for the baby but there was no point anyway since they had to choose between them (456 & 333) or the baby.I would have loved to see myung gi actually abandon the baby and gi hun to win as of 222’s attitude to him when he tried protecting her all along.Ngl he would have been a cool front man.I find his death stupid and funny how gi hun’s shirt ripped.Gi hun—this man has a heart of empathy that even I don’t think I can reach that level.He went through in and out of hell and would do it again to save hundreds of others but when the greed of the money-hungry people grew more and more I think he lost more and more hope and faith in humanity.Gihun’s last words made me think that at that point he has completely fallen into despair and lost all faith in humanity which would have been interesting if he became the next front man.Hwang jun ho’s stupidity really is most of the cause to be honest.What do you even mean a random ass captain found you from an island in nowhere and you just blindly trusted him as a detective?Min su’s death was obvious but the way he turned from a scaredy cat to some mad man hooked on pills with schizophrenia was not what I really expected an outcome for him.This show really showed humanity’s intense greed for a better life and the less and lesser empathy in society.Now Netflix gonna fuck up the whole image with their ‘American Squid Game’

Anyway I wish the baby had died so we could have dived deeper into humanity’s loss of empathy lmao

To sum up,this season started off strong and ended with disappointment.I genuinely would have liked to see gihun developing from an empathetic kind soul to a person who has lost hope in this world,not sure if I’m into anti-hero characters but eh.Gihun did sacrifice people though so I felt like it would have been more satisfying for him to turn into a monster
