MY GOD (lots of squid game mention)

This show was actually so, so, so entertaining. I watched this after finishing Squid Game season 2, so you could imagine me craving more. This show SCRATCHED that itch for squid games, but I wouldn't particularly say it's a squid game dupe, no, I say they have many similarities, but definitely show different meanings. The concept that the higher your level, the more you earn, defines a view on classes. A pyramid, if you will. And it shows how brutal money makes people. I mean shit, at the end of it, it was literal torture among others to get a life you wanted ( as long as you kept the higher ups entertained). It's way for gruesome than Squid Game, given the fact that no one dies and they are constantly being swapped between the lower class being tortured and the higher class being tortured until the highest just tortures them all. It goes more in-depth on how it's psychologically messing up these people more than how much they will do to win or to live normally after. It's so realistic, it's almost sickening to think that this is how people would most likely be if this were a real thing.

I definitely would say this is harder to rewatch than Squid Game's, since its such an acid trip to watch a game of cat and mouse between these characters.

SORRY FOT SHORT REVIEW, IM SLEEPYYYYY (also, this is so underrated, wtfff!!!)

Its definitely super good if you don't hyper analyze it like most people (no shade...)

a few things I wanna say tho is;
Jung won being a mafia was probably the most predictable part of this drama since shes quite literally the FL's bsf and was so flat through out the show, though, through out the entirety of season 2-8ish I believed that Kyung Jo (that was (obviously) portrayed as a bully) was a mafia! i mean, the way he used to bully da beom so so much, I was so sure Kyung Jo and his two rats were absolute a holes, but after the last ep, I'm slightly more so think that da beom deserved it all since he's the one who made deep fakes of se-eun. Also, it made me realize why he was called a perv by Kyung Jo and his little gang.

The whole ghost thing
So, in ep 12, it was revealed that the whole mafia game was a simulation made by the parents of Se-eun, right? One thing that kind of confuzzled me was why the FL and ML were put under this? I'm sure the parents at least know the FL wasn't a problem or reason for Se-Eun's death (because of the present), so why was she put under the simulation as well? I also wonder why FL was the only one to see the ghost? Was it because she was her best friend or...?? Another thought, that dream at the beginning that was to foreshadow, was that supposed to be a part of FL's game since we know that the way Jung won was acting was apparently an "error", it makes me wonder HOW many errors were there? It's me thinking too deeply, I know, but it couldn't have been helped but to ask. The last episode surely left many unanswered questions.

random question
how the fuck did the parent even manage to drag an entire youth club to this simulation room.

Da Beom and the way he lived SOOOOOOO long (why???)
This is me talking of a pov of growing to hate his character after trying to defend him, but looking back, he deserved everything and was sooooo clearly mafia, but I was too oblivious until Kyung Jo's death. I feel like he would've been a more successful mafia if he were to use the fact that he was getting bullied shitless (unless the students knew he was the one to leak/make deepfakes(which it seemed they didn't know)). But instead, after getting a chance to kill his bully, he goes fucking psycho which made me tilt my head because I feel like its SOOO obvious that he was mafia.

WHY is Kyung Jo their fukcing lord
"everyone say who's mafia and ill choose who it is" HES ONLY SAYING THIS BECAUSE HE KNOW EVERYONE WILL END UP BELIEVING HIM AT THE END. and the irony of the one time they were like "yeah you MIGHT be bullshitting" IS THE ONE TIME HES RIGHT? When Woo Ram was said to be mafia, I literally had to laugh because, hell, even *I* was convinced he was a civilian
So Mis' character did its job.
From the start, I didn't like her. Her obsession with Jun Hee (ML) made me INSTANTLY know she was gonna be the mean girl. (Miss, why are you taking pictures of a sleeping boy?) OHHHH I just remembered the stupid birthday beating scene. The way she started fake crying after Jun Hee came made me PISSED. Jung Won and I were both side-eying her. I also hate when an MC is too nice. Whywhwywhywhyw Yoonseo are you so forgiving to this girl after she had two boys drown you and almost get freaking KILLED by a ghost. Though I will say she did what Da Beom should've done. PLAY THE FREAKING GAME CORRECTLY. she was actually a GREAT mafia, her gaslighting and acting was so good up until Kyung Jo's death. You can tell she was slowly losing touch with how to stay in the clear (after those two boys caught them with Kyung Jo's keys after his death ( hella sus.)). It's safe to say that if Na Hee (I LOVE NA HEE) weren't to take one for the team and reveal both that she was the police and So Mi was mafia, So Mi actually might have made it to the end.

Yoon seo (FL), you're a good person
Every time Kyung Jo was actually tweaking out, she tried her best to stop him. What a sweetheart :(.

Rip seeun, but your mom pmo
Maybe someone needs to prove me different, but holy SHART her mom's logic annoyed me. Yes, I understand your daughter was bullied to death, but taking a bunch of kids (innocent too,) and wasting their lives, putting them in a coma, and making them play a game over and over (WITH OUT REMEMBERING, SO THERES NO POINT BECAUSE THEY ARENT EVEN LEARNING THE STUPID LESSON) is doing wayyyy too much. Do I think only the culprit and the bullies should be experiencing this for an extended period of time? yes! Do I think Yoon seo (FL) and Jun Hee (ML) deserve to? FUCCCCKKKK no! they were the two that actually were her friends and Jun Hee actually TRIED to save her?? I'm not defending the bullies or the people who drove Se-eun to do this, but I feel like this punishment is unfair to at least Yoon seo and Jun hee.

ok I should be done until I realize a few things (also woo min is so fine)
