Squid Game!

[Remodeling Maidiac]

So I've watched a few Korean shows and when translated into English it sounds preposterous. So if you watch it watch it IN KOREAN with subtitles.

This is the Second Korean show I have watched (the first was BLACK) and when watched in the native language the shows are very entertaining. Sadly the translation to English is BAD. Epic levels if BAD.

Anyway I hated the ending. Did you watch it? What were your thoughts?

I have been watching it translated into English. So far it is just strange.

I agree with you. Watching a dubbed foreign movie or show is a real disaster. You miss so much of the acting by dubbing. Voice and emotion are all lost in dubbing. So, I did the same thing you did, I watched it via sub-titles. I thought the acting was very good and a far cry from East Asian movies I watched as a kid.

I also 100% agree with you regarding the ending. You really can’t go to far into it without going into spoiler territory. I wasn’t thrilled with it...but you know even Korea is apparently a prisoner to sequels.

I watched the first episode and thought it was incredibly stupid.

Squid Game was definitely not for everyone.

i really don't know what it is - but i am sure i couldn't care less about it even if i did.

 

[Moonglow]

It does take a sharp inversion to being entertained with nothing.

Loved it. Guessed part of the ending after watching the first episode. No lie. Very enjoyable. Great acting IMO. playtime that is a terrible attitude. Why not give the most watched Netflix show ever a chance?

Im on last episode. Love it so far!

'terrible' attitude? auCONtraire zoggy ol' chap ... i just don't have any interest. i used to love watching slasher movies, but now a lot of violence just doesn't do it for me & i did hear that squid game was really violent. besides - i have too many series in the que anyhow. & i have a roku & on it's own channel i have all the past seasons of 'alone' which blows 'survivor' away in regards to true survival.

*** SPOILER ***

Watched and was in lust with the girl ( not his damn daughter you pervert! ) that has the brother.

I hated the damn ending but figured out the one part that most likely you hated and it was during the riot…

It is not a slasher movie and it is about what would you do if given choices in life when you are at the end of your rope…

It's literally the dumbest shit I've seen in ages.

i didn't mean IT was a slasher movie - just i don't care for violence ad nauseum... whether it's bloody gory or what squid game was described as 'horrific' violence.

( not counting the godfather trilogy )

I mean it has the typical Asian culture of violence you see in Korean and Japanese movies and TV series but it was solid…

Yes, Alone has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge following. There is violence in SG but the plot and the psychology is outstanding. The violence tbh is 2ndary.

i doubt netflix will get rid of it - so maybe sometime in the future.
