To be honest, the first 30 minutes of episode 1 had such a bad script that I almost dropped it. But after that, when she ended up in the future — OMG, it was so funny! It really made me want to watch until the end. I didn’t expect it to be that funny.
But I really didn’t like the makeup, especially the blush — it looked weird, almost like something out of a doujin or hentai. Also, why not just give her long straight hair instead? And I don’t like the flashbacks at the end of every episode; they feel boring and unnecessary.
but natives are praising actress's accent saying she sounds very natural
I didn’t say the actress spoke French badly; I just don’t like French. The judge, the chef participants—everyone spoke it. To me, it’s a terrible language to listen to.
The premise is good, but it gets boring when it focuses too much on the law stuff. Sometimes it’s boring, and sometimes it’s funny.
I thought when Han Woo-tak was introduced, and he also had the ability to dream, the three of them would easily be able to change the future—but it turned out to be difficult, and there was a real lack of teamwork.
I also expected other characters, like the mom and Jung Jae-chan’s little brother, to contribute more, but they didn’t. Honestly, they felt like unnecessary characters.
It would have been much better if the story was more like the Final Destination movies, where the characters can actually change the future or avoid death itself.
The drama started good but ended badly. I think the only people who really knew how to use a gun were the first guy and the fat student, while the rest clearly didn’t. The ahjumma and ahjussi were just unnecessary character additions with guns. Their flashbacks were boring and pointless, and they didn’t even use the guns properly—they just held them.
I also didn’t like the second guy because he kept preaching instead of shooting. He was just an idiot. Park Gyu-jin was also disappointing; he got swayed by some cheesy line like, “I don’t know what you’re going through, but it’s not too late, tell me the story.” Honestly, that was one of the worst parts of the drama. If this were an American series, the characters wouldn’t be affected by words like that—they’d be written as real psychopaths or sociopaths.
Only Lee Do actually fought against the people with guns. The rest of the police did basically nothing, which made me go, wtf. The gangster subplot wasn’t really needed either. While watching, I just wanted the depressed characters to actually go wild and shoot everyone. Who cares about the gangster story? Episode 5 was especially boring, with too many flashbacks and pointless chit-chat.
Episodes 9 and 10 were really bad. I expected an epic one-on-one fight between Lee Do and Moon Baek, but it never happened. The ending was also disappointing because they didn’t show the real chaos. Instead, we only got quick flashes, barely a second long. We couldn’t even see people shooting each other or the aftermath with the dead bodies. It felt censored and unsatisfying.
I watched from season 1 to 2, but nothing really impressed me. It feels like there’s something wrong with the script that makes it weird sometimes. I don’t think it’s a good drama, it’s kinda terrible.
I don't think it can be considered as a plot hole, but can someone clarify this part for me?Putting it on spoilers…
If Ju Garam gets fired, that means the rugby team will be disbanded, and the funding will be taken over by another sports team. That’s why the teachers want to get rid of the rugby team, but they have to first deal with Ju Garam (the coach).
It's a good and unique concept, but the pacing felt slow, especially for a show with so few episodes.
The beginning of the first episode wasn’t bad, but I don’t know... there were some point-of-view characters that felt useless. For example, the ones with glasses (Jung Woo and Kim Mi Seong). I thought they were going to be connected to the main plot, but they weren’t.
Shin’s friends also felt like unnecessary additions. Their characters weren’t related to the main plot or the S-Line at all.
The side cases involving the five students also felt disconnected. They had nothing to do with the main plot or the S-Line mystery.
I mean, why didn’t the main character or the detective try to solve or even question what the S-Line really was? Who or what caused it? Both of them felt clueless and a bit stupid.
The ending honestly made me laugh. I don’t know if it was supposed to be an apocalypse, a rumbling, a "Third Impact," or something else. For me, it was just bad.
It would have been better if they made it a hallucination, a dream sequence, or even an alien invasion instead.
For me, it was good. I don’t know why everyone said it was bad. The comedy and sense of humor at the beginning were funny. I loved how they didn’t forget to add humorous scenes or characters. "Hide and Seek" was a good game, but the rest felt rushed. It seemed like they were just trying to milk the show too much.
I feel like the standout characters this season were Nam Gyu and Myung Gi. I loved how Nam Gyu imitated Thanos. That really made me laugh.
The CGI baby was a bad idea. Also, the scene where the pink guard saved Player 246 felt unrealistic. Detective Hwang, to me, was unnecessary to the plot.
The VIP scenes were cringe. Their speech sounded like AI-generated text-to-speech, and their lip movements didn’t match their voices.
The jump rope game music was a poor choice. It didn’t fit the atmosphere.
I know many people say Detective Hwang was a useless character, and I kind of agree. But people forget that he did protect Player 246 by shooting the pink guard.
Being a useful character doesn’t mean you have to save everyone or shut down the whole game. A small action can still make a character useful.
As for the ending, I agree with those who say it was bad. Gi-hun was stupid for not pushing the button.
Some say it was a “realistic” ending because Gi-hun sacrificed himself, but I don’t think so. To me, money is everything. It’s better to take the money and enjoy life. Why should we care about others? It's not our fault those people died; we didn’t kill them.
Lastly, I expected all the VIPs or people involved in the Squid Game to be caught, but they weren’t. In a way, it makes sense. You can’t really touch the rich and powerful. That part felt realistic, since the powerful always find a way to stay safe.
OMG I’m so excited right now!! 😭🔥 The tension, the visuals, everything feels SO intense and powerful — my heart’s racing already. I’ve missed this energy so much. LET’S GOOOO!! 🖤🃏💥
Everyone says the romance between Oh Yi-young and Ku Do-won is good and that they have chemistry, but for me, it didn’t work. Their scenes were too few—even in the hospital. It felt more like Um Jae-il and Kim Sabi had real chemistry and a perfect romance.
I also don’t really understand the Korean setup. I mean, all four of them living in one apartment felt strange—Oh Yi-young with her older sister, and the others too.
I didn’t like the mannequin scene with silent dialogue and just staring—it felt awkward, almost like a lesbian scene (with the old patient woman). Also, I didn’t like how suddenly they already had a junior doctor, who was pretty annoying.
The comedy was great though—I laughed a lot, especially when they handled the patients (Um Jae-il and Pyo Nam-kyung).
There was nothing really special about the surgeries, but I loved how they embraced each other and created heartwarming vibes.
To be honest, Um Jae-il and Kim Sabi carried the whole show for me. They had unique personalities and often made mistakes when judging situations, which made them more human. Without them, this drama would’ve been so freaking boring. The other characters weren’t very good—especially the female lead.
Episode 1-4 it's better than the rest of episodes,it's so funny and entertain,I don't know is he called cameo or supporting character but it kinda annoyed ,last episode kinda rush and was so bad ,the competion its not spectacular than competition previous episode ,I mean why dont put big competition to be admit as cool restaurant like in the first competition
The plot is mid—nothing special. What I liked was just the visuals and the main couple; they were perfect for a romance drama. I also liked the OST—it was really good. I don’t know, it just felt like too many episodes for a romance with very little conflict.
I watched it, but there wasn’t a single episode that impressed me. Sometimes the directing was bad—especially when the spirit appeared. The fights were ridiculous, like amateur choreography. The way they summoned or sent the spirits to the afterlife was just weird—honestly, it felt like a really dumb idea.
The ghost spirits weren’t creepy at all—they looked more like silly cosplay to me. I don’t know, it was so boring… but I still kept watching, LOL. To be honest, the villain character was actually great, but the ending felt so empty.
There are too many flashbacks. I mean, why didn’t they just put all the flashbacks into one episode? The side characters feel unnecessary, and the conflict is simple and easy to solve. I think it would’ve been better if they added a proper villain to give the story more dramatic potential—but they didn’t.
Also, I really didn’t like the school scenes. I just love the comedy parts—they were really funny. But overall, I wouldn’t really recommend this drama.
The fight scenes are good, but something feels off. I don’t know—there’s just something wrong with this drama. Maybe it’s the bad dialogue or poor directing. Or maybe it’s the way he said things like 'Stop it'—it just didn’t sound right. The final enemy was also too plain and didn’t have the same intimidating aura as the earlier one.
It’s both good and bad at the same time. I liked the acting, but I didn’t like the story. I mean, it’s about a school election for student body president (I’m not sure what the exact term is), but are they really doing all that crazy stuff—like betrayal and false accusations—just to win? That’s insane
