HUMANS ARE...
Humans are monsters. It's as simple as that. At least, most people are. Even for their own blood, when money and their life is on the line, they'll do whatever it takes. Or at least, thats what we think. What about that small percentage? What if you sacrifice your own life for someone who hasn't even gain consciousness of the world yet? Well, Gihun did exactly that.
Honestly, I don't really know where to begin on this review. I'm just in so much shock. I sat there for a good 20 minutes just TRYING to unpack what the hell just happened. Did I wake up at 3AM to watch this? Yes. Did I cry multiple times at just 5 in the morning? Also yes!! Season 3 is the end, at least that's what it seemed. Maybe the end for the Korean games, but who knows about elsewhere.
Since I dont really know where to start, lets talk about the thing that destroyed me most, the deaths.
I'm not going to go in the order they died, but I will go for the order of the games.
Hide and Seek, basically:
Gosh, where do I begin? The biggest heartbreak? Hyeon Ju? Oh my gosh. I expected it when it didn't show behind her but Myeong Gi? Her death absolutely destroyed me. She already lost do much last season, and I expected for her comeback this season, but they barely even gave her a chance.
Other than that, Dae Ho. Honestly I was sad, but not as sad as I expected. He was getting on my nerves, although I would probably act the same way, scared. Gi Hun had it out for him, which didn't help at all, which eventually led to his demise.
Finally, Yong Sik. I don't think I wouldve cried if he died because he hadn't killed anyone, but the way he died is what got me. His own mother having to kill him because he was going after Junhee is absolutely insane. I know he was scared, but damn.
In between this and the next game, the mother, Geum Ja, must've felt so guilty that she hung herself. Was it sad? Absolutely. Did I cry? No. Why? Because it was so unexpected. I saw them bringing in the box and I was like "did another person live?" Sadly not.
In the next game, which was Jump Rope, 2 people died.
First was Nam Gyu. Nothing to say to that except: Thank God!!!
Next one.. Oh my gosh. Before we talk about that, lets talk about actually crossing. Junhee hurt her leg during Hide and Seek, therefore she trusted her baby to Gi Hun, who took the baby and made it across. As everyone is crossing, the time is only ticking. Myeong Gi tries to help her, which her reply is "What are you going to do? Carry me?" YES!!!! HE SHOULD.
Well, he didn't. He made it across, and it leaves Junhee as the only ALIVE person that hasn't made it across. Gi Hun was going to go to her, but she testified. In the end, she couldn't make it across and sacrificed herself and jumped off.
Gosh, it's already been an emotional rollercoaster and we're just on episode 4.
The next, and FINAL game. It's, well, I'm not sure what to call it. Lets just call it the shapes for now, okay?
Who dies?
First off, Min Su. I loved him a LOT in season 2, but this season, he was off. I understand he was going a little crazy but still. In the end, he died.
Then, the next shape, it turned into chaos and EVERYONE but Myeong Gi, Gi Hun, and the baby dies. Well, Myeong Gi and Gi Hun fight to the death, but don't press the button to start the match. You don't understand how much that stressed me out. In the end Myeong Gi dies from falling.
It's just Gi Hun left now, well, him and the baby. Is he going to sacrifice himself or the baby. "I promised Junhee." Therefore, as I mentioned from the beginning, some people aren't as monstrous as we think. He says his goodbyes, and falls to his death. Now, a literal fetus has won the game.
My thoughts on the ending? Absolutely horrible.. But I can't stop watching. I just HAD to know the end. Gi Hun gave it his all, and he truly didn't deserve that ending.
In MY perfect world, the winners are Gi Hun, Jun Hee (with her baby), Hyunju, Min Su, and Geum Ja. What about Myeong Gi, Yong Sik, and Dae Ho? If it's a perfect world, hopefully they'd be better people, but they sucked this season.
Either way, that ending was absolutely horrid. Did it really have to end like that? And is it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 the end?
