Lol I knew GD wouldn't lead the '88 meet since he's shy with strangers so I thought Kwanghee would be the one, but surprisingly Soohyun took charge very naturally. Looking forward to the next episode.
Shindong mentioned in Knowing Bros he didn't reject this season, but he wasn't casted for it. I wonder if it was the same for the other two too. Really disappointed, I loved the original cast. Makes me worry they will change the rest of the original cast too if this season does well and they can have S6 as well. I won't watch it they're all gone though.
Since Seonho's other drama should come out late this year, and Squid Game S3 is marked for July this should release early this year or otherwise it will probably be postponed again till next year... Since there's no news yet seems impossible for it to come out early year though.
The show has gotten really different from season 1 and 2. The first two seasons focused on athletes from other fields becoming a soccer team and had a lot of variety show elements as well, there were a lot of fun training and silly games added besides the more serious soccer games, so there was a good balance between fun and soccer.
S3 is for soccer fans, of course to watch the first two seasons you would need to like the sport since it's the main theme, but S3 is almost wholly focused on football. The more fun elements have been minimized and during S3 they also gave up the original theme of having only athletes as they ran out of people and started adding singers, models etc.
Of the original team I think only Kim Donghyun is left and he rarely plays anymore either, all others have either left the show or have been replaced by younger players.
I can't say these changes are a bad thing, some of them may have been necessary as the show has set new goals over time, but personally I enjoyed the less serious mood the previous seasons had and find the recent episodes rather boring. I also enjoyed the dynamics between the older cast a lot more. It's a matter of taste I guess.
I'm usually not interested in this type of thing, but was surprised how invested I got, so glad it's getting a new season this year, shame not all of this cast returned though.
This show made me Kim Donghyun's fan, how can a legendary UFC fighter be so cute lmao
I'm happy Donghyun, Hodong and Byungjae are still a part of it, but I wonder why Shindong, P.O and Jongmin didn't join, would've been lovely to have the whole original gang.
