i don't know if i'm the only one but them killing off the only characters i liked just kinda ruined the show for…
death games r like that, the majority of the cast is killed off. imo besides ali the detective n the two girls i saw no redeemable character i would've liked to see in s2, mayb s2 can bring in refreshing characters that i can get attached to.
umm i cant rlly think of one from the top of my head, i can say for sure tho that i've seen far worse gruesome death games and better executed plots than the one here. I totally get if u enjoyed this n thought it was good, by all means i don't mean to bash ur opinion on the drama, i just think there's better examples of the death game genre out there.
Okay... you had me until your comment about As the Gods Will... Hell to the fucking no that this drama is worse…
dude I get you got your own opinion and everything, but don't be shitting on people's opinions just because you weren't fond of something the person above personally liked better. If what you're going to add to the convo ain't positive critizisim, don't bother even saying anything in the first place, I can assure you the person above won't even care about your opinion LMAO. Yes, that's me throwing sarcasm back towards your LMAO ;)
Squid's Game Rate: 7 Keep in mind that before you read any further, this review is coming from the perspective of a person who's seen far too many psychologicals for his own good, as an experienced viewer on this certain genre I carry a bias for how dramas like these are executed. I'll try to keep this review as less biased as I can but I'm already sugarcoating it with the rating so I won't be going easy on this either lol.
To keep it simple, if you have experience watching dramas similar to the genre in squid's, at most it'll be meh for you. Overall, the games aren't as sadistic or brutal as you'd want them to be thus leaving you with an empty feeling. The pace for the starting episodes is pretty slow and I'd go as far as to say episode 2 as a whole is skippable as it's not crucial to understanding the plot. Episode 4 was squid's peak and sadly the episodes that follow do not keep the consistency flowing. The plot twists for the most part are predictable and the ending doesn't fully answer all the questions that are presented as it teases a possible opening for season 2.
As for people that are new to this genre and who are just looking to jump onto the hype train, I'd say you'll find it enjoyable for the most part since it's your first time diving onto a drama like this. Anywayysss, regardless if you're experienced or new, I'd recommend to give it's first four episodes a chance to see if you'll like it.
the fact youth of may is still in the recommendations for this page continues to scare the crap out of me, plsssssssssssssss let it be a happy ending here for the love of god.
thought you'd get used to MDL's bipolar state in changing air dates lol, we can never trust till official news is dropped on us :(. Let's hope JTBC updates us soon :)
Your concerns are very reasonable, but we can't really say anything about it until the drama is released. As I've…
oh yea dont mind them thats just toxicity at that point, even me who has a huge bias for Jisoo is worried for this drama but like you said, I don't think she'll to too bad either.
I love Jisoo but is it ok for her to play a leading character for her first drama and on JTBC? I mean it would…
all we can do is have faith in the sky castle director and his production team, dont feel like he would have taken such a huge risk of casting an idol if he didn't believe in her.
Not DeadMan Wonderland-I remember watching that one classroom scene. I was 9 then. 6 years later and I’m somehow…
hmm it's a while since I've seen anime tbh been on a hiatus ever since it went mainstream. But yes I'm the same when it comes to the dark genre, cant remember what the darkest thing I saw overall but Tokyo Ghoul up there for sure.
