IF JUST ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION ENJOYED THIS SEASON..THEN IAM IN THAT ONE PERCENT!
I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience with season two of Squid Game, especially since the review section seems to be filled with negativity. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t let those comments sway my opinion because I genuinely enjoyed this season.
Going into it, I had no expectations of closure, knowing there’s a third season on the way. The way the season ended didn’t bother me at all because I understood that the creator wrote both seasons together, intending for them to be one cohesive story. Season one had this intense, dark tone, and I didn’t expect season two to replicate that. Instead, it felt like the beginning of a resolution.
We pick up with Gi-hun, who is determined to find the creators of the game due to his survivor's guilt. The fact that he dedicates his winnings to this search shows his commitment to stopping the games, even if it means taking the long route. It’s almost like a revenge mission for him, and it makes sense that he would rejoin the games to convince others to vote out.
I found season two to be a refreshing change from the first season. While the first season had me holding onto my seat with stress, this one was genuinely enjoyable and binge-worthy. I loved the fun interactions between the characters and the variety of games, even if some were a bit serious. Up until episode six, I was having a blast!
The introduction of new characters was a highlight for me. Although we didn’t get to see everyone's backstories, it felt like a diverse mix of personalities—ranging from annoying to funny, and even the scaredy-cats. I enjoyed seeing new faces and appreciated how the show portrayed characters that weren’t perfect. In life-and-death situations, it’s natural for some to rise to the occasion while others might show fear or trauma. This realism made the characters relatable, and I applaud the writers for that.
The acting was, as expected, top-notch given the talented cast. I even found myself with new favorites! Overall, I see season two as a setup for season three, introducing new motivations for the male lead and laying the groundwork for the finale. It might be a bridge, but it certainly wasn’t useless—it added depth and excitement to the story!
