Squid Game Season 3 (2025)

You call that an ending ?

Firstly, I never did write a bad review cause I've rarely been that disappointed by a kdrama ending. I stand by my opinion which is: They should have just made a season 1, it's rare to see a kdrama with more than 1 season and it shows. To me, the only thing saving this drama is the acting, through the seasons.
I thought the game would end at the end of the season, that the system would be destroyed thanks to Hwang JunHo's investigation, and not that the Squid Game would be relocated to the U.S. (What for anyway? A Squid Game USA version with weird scenes and heavy junkie things?)
In the end, it's the franchise and the profits at the expense of the experience for viewers who wanted a real ending.
As a viewer, I really didn't expect this ending and it's a personal point of view, you can agree or not..nothing is perfect in this world and injustice prevails but I expected more.
Rushed and empty ending. It's so sad because the season 1 was a masterpiece. What an unfortunate way to waste an ending.
PS: This is only my point of view, if you disagree it's fine because we all have different opinions, act like an adult and don't insult on the comments section ! 🫡 🍉

I would say the first season in the series is the strongest.. Simply because it told a relatively complete story and offered a somewhat satisfying ending.. The sequels have felt more scattered and disconnected.. I admire the ambition but it just didn't work out.. This season is certainly the bleakest of the series.. Honestly it shouldn’t have existed at all.. The story could have wrapped up with Season 2 if they had just extended it to 10 or 12 episodes..

I wasn’t hoping for a happy ending, it was obvious there wouldn’t be one.. But I did wish for a good ending for a couple of characters.. That didn’t happen either.. If not for how good the first season was, I don’t think many would have even cared about this season at all.. It turned into yet another empty sequel made just for the sake of profit..

The games were good this time, especially Jump The Rope.. But I was really disappointed with the final game.. The first season’s finale was way better.. They should have tried to match that energy somehow.. Even the finalists were just meh..

They wasted a lot of characters, Jun Ho was literally in a boat the entire season doing nothing.. Hyeon Ju was killed off just like that.. Dae Ho didn't have any impact as well.. Park Gyu Young as Kang No Eul was the only character that brought any life to this rather dull story..

Another major disappointment for me was Im Si Wan's character.. I was hoping he would step up and show some growth.. But forget about character development, he just went from pathetic to despicable.. I mean forget killing his own child, how could he even think about killing a baby?? But I still have to give credit to Im Si Wan himself.. As an actor, he was incredible.. What a performance..

I don’t even want to talk about the climax.. It was easily the worst thing they could have come up with.. Squid Game went from awesome to dumb to ludicrous in just three seasons..

P.s.. They really thought they did something with that Cate Blanchett's cameo at the end.. Honestly couldn't care any less..
