I don’t get how you can go from amazing to whatever this season was
Honestly I felt this season was bad. I also felt that the ending could’ve been a different way and that there was a path to a not so horrible ending, but we went down the wrong path. I also feel the way a character died was actually really sad and I feel it was sadder than past seasons in my opinion. I will warn you that there might be spoilers in my review so be aware.
The show basically continued from where it ended with the whole gunfight between the players and the guards and it continued with the players not having enough bullets and how they ran out and needed someone to go get them and they sent Daeho to go get them but he got scared and didn’t get them nor came back to them so Hyeonju had to go get them, but it was too late because the guards went to the “lobby” and told them to stand down so the players that were fighting had to stand down and got shot, but player 246 aka Gyeongseok got told my a guard to play dead when she shoots him and he followed and we find out the guard was Noeul who knows his daughter. Meanwhile player 456 and his friend Jeongbae were in a battle with all of the guards and unfortunately the guards shot Jeongbae and player 456 had to watch him die and the front man revealed himself and it was one of the players he grew close too and he was eventually sent back to the “lobby”traumatized and handcuffed to the bunk beds and keeps staring at Daeho because he was told that he didn’t bring back the bullets so he blames Daeho for his friends death. The next game is said and it’s a game of hide and seek, but it’s not your ordinary hide and seek instead it’s one team which is the seekers have knifes and the hiders have keys that lead them into rooms where they can hide, but not for long since they have to find the exit in order to move on, but the seekers only get to move on once they kill one person. While waiting for the game to start player 456 keeps staring at Daeho, Geumja and Yongsik keep going back and forth about who should be who since there on different sides with Geumja on the seeker side and Yongsik on the hider and in the end they swap with Yongsik having to kill somebody and Geumja needs to hide and escape, Myeonggi went to Junhee and told her that she shouldn’t be a seeker and kill somebody just to move on and instead she should hide with the baby and he’ll come find her ASAP after he gets one kill and it was until the last minute that Junhee agreed. They then entered the area and only had 2 minutes to hide, but Junhee started to feel pain and couldn’t move and Geumja saw her and went to help her and Hyeonju saw them and told them to follow her so they did and they successfully hid for a long time until they got to a room where Hyeonju’s key wouldn’t open the door which was when she noticed that you need a circle, triangle, square key in order to get through the doors and she asked for everyone’s necklace and they luckily had each combo so they went through the doors smoothly until Junhee fell down the stairs and broke her ankle and a seeker found them so Hyeonju beat them up and took the knife. Meanwhile 456 was trying to find Daeho he kept running into him, but he would escape and he kept running into his look alike and let him go. Myeonggi teamed up with Namgyu to get people out but they both attacked somebody at the same time so it would be counted as half a point so they both worked together to get more kills, but in one room Namgyu dropped the necklace that Thanos had that was filled with pills and Minsu found it and took it and even ate one, but when he ate it all he kept thinking about was getting revenge on Namgyu for killing Semi. Then a lot of time had passed and Hyeonju found a room and stayed in there for a little while because Junhee was in pain, but then her water broke which meant she was going to have her baby and Geumja helped Junhee give birth while Hyeonju held her hand and then the baby came and Hyeonju went to go find the exit and when she did she went back to the room and once she got there she was stabbed by Myeonggi and he didn’t know Junhee was in the room until she dropped to the floor and Junhee was upset then Myeonggi left and Geumja took Junhee and her baby to the exit, but when they got to the exit Yongsik was there and he hadn’t killed anybody yet and was gonna get Junhee until Geumja killed him. At the same time player 456 saw Daeho and they battled for a while until Daeho got stabbed and Seong Gihun was gonna kill himself until the guards took him. Then when the game was over everyone was in the “lobby” and they were all shocked to see Junhee carrying her new born baby and went night occurred Geumja told Seong Gihun about her story with her son and that she killed him so she knows the pain and told him to please take care of Junhee and protect her and although he didn’t say anything he would later on protect her, but that same night Geumja would take her own life which devastated Junhee. Then the next game occurred and on the way there Seong Gihun stopped her and told her to give him the baby and although she didn’t agree she felt it was right to give the baby to him and that made Myeonggi very upset. The next game was a jump rope game between the two dolls and nobody wanted to go first until Minsu showed Namgyu that he has the pills that he’s looking for and threw them on the tiny bridge so Namgyu went for it and he made it to the cross necklace until he opens it and Minsu took all the pills which led to Namgyu getting pushed off the bridge by the rope and he sadly died. Then Seong Gihun went with the baby to insure its safety and would get Junhee after, but after he made it ll the way across everyone started to go on the bridge and when the second person came he started pushing people off the bridge so he can ensure that he gets money along with Seong Gihun and the games end until Seong Gihun threatened to push him and he stopped. At the same time Myeonggi went to Junhee to ask her if she wants to go with him and he refused and said she doesn’t want her baby to be with him nor be with her and he left her and went on the bridge and by the time he went over it there wasn’t enough time for Seong Gihun to get Junhee so she just jumped off the platform. That meant that Seong Gihun would have to do whatever it took to protect her baby because he promised and that same night they were given a huge dinner and fancy clothes and had to vote to continue the games and after the vote was still to continue playing so they continued to eat and were told the next game would result in having to kill 3 or more people in order to win so everyone throughout get Seong Gihun, the baby, and Minsu and before that they were told that the baby became a player and was 222 which was Junhee’s number. The next game where they would be sent to three towers consisting of circle, triangle, and square and they started with circle where everyone teamed up to get the baby and Seong Gihun out, but Myeonggi disagreed and said to get Minsu out since he’d addicted to pills and needs them and since they all saw him hallucinating that he sees somebody and is trying to kick them off and it was Namgyu switching back and fourth with Thanos and then he went back to normal and everyone was staring at him and telling him to just jump off he screamed “what did I do to deserve this” and Myeonggi grabbed the pole from the circle platform and was gonna push Minsu until Minsu grabbed it thinking it was Semi holding his hand and fell down. By the next platform which was the triangle everyone tried to get Seong Gihun away from the baby and even tried to plot against him where they even cornered him and had to hold somebody to push him off with the suit jacket tied to his waist until Gihun pulled out a knife from the night before where the Front Man gave it to him and told him to use it to protect the baby and him and he used it to fight back and that’s when Myeonggi swapped sides to be with Gihun and the baby and they turned against everyone and eventually killed everyone and it was only the three left and they moved to the next round, but the winner won’t be chosen until someone hits the button and then someone needs to sacrifice themselves in order for there to be a winner and Myeonggi told Gihun to give him the baby and he’ll figure it out, but Gihun felt unsure since he felt that Myeonggi would kill the baby and he’ll win so he stayed on the triangle platform until the last second where he jumped on the square platform and it was the three left to battle again. The button hadn’t been clicked yet and Myeonggi said if Gihun comes any closer he’ll drop the baby over the edge and Gihun couldn’t take that risk so he followed until he started to go for Myeonggi that the baby landed on the platform and the two were hanging off the edge with Gihun holding them both with one hand and Myeonggi was holding onto his suit jacket until it ripped and Myeonggi fell and Gihun pulled himself to the top and that’s when he realized the button hadn’t been clicked so he clicked it and waited for a while with the baby and eventually sacrificed himself and the baby won squid games. At the same time officer Hwang found the island and the coast guards were gonna find the island so the Front Man had an evacuation and meanwhile Noeul got Gyeongseok out of the isaldn and got on a ship and made him drop her off so she can destroy the documents and he should continue going until his ship met up with officer Hwang’s ship he saved him and Noeul luckily made it into the escape boats before the island blew up. They then have a fast forward to 6 months after the island blew up with Gyeongseok and Noeul meeting at the Asument park where they both worked at and she saw his daughter Nayeon again and luckily she’s doing better and when she left she got a call that they found her daughter in China and Noeul got on a plane to go rescue her and it showed Saebyeok from Season 1’s brother was back with his mom. Officer Hwang was given Junhee’s baby to take care of and the Front Man when to Seong Gihun’s daughter in LA and told her that he died and she can take the money he won from the previous games. Then the show ended with the Front Man seeing a woman in American playing ddakji with a homeless guy and she smiled at him and the show then ended. I honestly hated the ending since all it did was try to set it up for Squid Games in America which I literally don’t want since I feel America is gonna most likely ruin it, but I guess we’ll just have to see, but I will say Junhee’s death was actually one of the saddest along with Hyeonju for me. I honestly would say watch the season, but skip the last 10 minutes since it’s useless, but honestly I don’t recommend this season as much as I recommend the last two.
