A Shocking, Suspenseful, and Socially Reflective Thriller We Watched as a Crew
The Plushie Crew jumped into Squid Game with very little context—just the internet memes, cosplay outfits, and Kuromi’s non-stop curiosity. She finally got the chance to watch it with us, and none of us expected to be this emotionally and mentally shaken.This drama takes a bold concept and turns it into something unforgettable. Winny resonated with the characters’ tough choices, Willow and Mimikyu were fascinated by the psychological elements, and Amy and Tails admired the production value—the lighting, camera work, and score were all top-tier. Meanwhile, Sonic, Sunny, Knuckles, and Shadow couldn’t stop talking about how well the story reflects real-world issues like capitalism, inequality, and human desperation.
We all watched it together, reacting in real-time to the tension, heartbreak, and plot twists. The VIPs' performances were a rare weak spot for us, but everything else was so well done that it barely mattered. Every episode left us talking, thinking, and wanting more.
This show deserves the praise it gets—and watching it with friends made it even more memorable. Highly recommended for those who love intense storytelling with substance. 🌕🩸

The acting was natural and relatable, particularly the chemistry between Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a, which felt authentic and heartwarming. The supporting cast also added layers and charm to the village, making every subplot feel meaningful. The soundtrack enhanced the peaceful and emotional moments without ever feeling intrusive.
