Squid Game

[samsah33]

Anyone else watching on Netflix? I just finished episode #4; talk about a "cliffhanger!" Pretty addictive, my teen daughter turned me on to the series, so now I have to wait for her to watch and can't just binge on my own. Watching the dubbed version of course...!

Hard to describe without giving anything away; the official synopsis is "Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly."

Kind of a future fantasy world type thing like Divergent, Maze Runner & Hunger Games with some anarchy tossed in for good measure. Despite the reference to "children's games," it's not for kids.

I've heard it's Very dark. Not to be watched if you are Not in a good place!

Of course, this came from my daughter's college roommates.

I gotta finish up The Punisher and Chernobyl first.

I watched the series. Pretty good. Its korean dubbed in english. Look up the conversion rate for usd to korean won as they talk about numbers and money alot and it won't make sense unless you know the conversation rate.

Yup, exactly what I did!

Well, I figured I’d do that conversion for you, as I know I looked it up too.

• So, 1 Korean won is worth 0.00084 USD.
• That means 45,600,000,000 won is $38,460,271.20 USD.
• And each contestant worth 100,000,000 won was worth $84,341.99 USD.

Started watching it yesterday. Got through episode 3. If you can get passed the lips not in sync with the words and the occasional subtitle, it’s entertaining for sure

 

[ElGuapo]

I watched it in Korean audio with the English subtitle showing below. It was great. You don't need the subtitle most of the times because you already know what they are saying. Most of the the time it was something like oh shit.

I really cant deal with out of sync audio very well at all so I havent given it much of a shot.

 

[BUDMAN]

Just finished the season. Interesting ending. I’ll watch season 2 if they have one.

 

[69hondo]

I watched it. I dont understand they hype. The ending was pretty un exciting. They should of thrown in some dodge ball

 

[Roosky01]

Wifey and I binge watched it in 2 days. The violence shown on Korean television is WTF?, but we enjoyed it.

I would've killed that psycho bitch with the super annoying dubbed over voice with my bare hands at the first opportunity!

 

[samsah33]

wait til you get to episode 6 .. not gonna lie i almost cried

I thought I had 6 figured out based on episode 5 and your comment. I couldn't have been more wrong, was completely blindsided and ya, was a real tearjerker...

Ya, super annoying high-pitched scratchy desperate-sounding anime voice dub, matches the character well...

The pickpocket cleans up well, in real life she's a supermodel and has been on a bunch of magazine covers.

 

[wet hull]

Main guy has to be the worst dad ever after that final episode. Guess there will be a season 2.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

I got sucked into this show but on season 2, which is freaking EPIC. Now watching season 1. The ending of season 2 is ridiculous and season 3 is supposed to be released in June.

Damn good show and twisted AF!

Was at outr son’s house for a couple of days recently and he was watching this one night. I might have to start watching it from the beginning.
