Forgot, but did they ever show the cop dead or just shot with water below him? May still be alive.

---

I guess that's possible assuming they're planning on a sequel. If this was a stand alone then it was just dump and a waste of time.

It's # 1 Netflix show, and the guy was about to board a plane but called to play the Squid Game again. Guessing another season or two.

---

He didn't call to play the game again did he? He called...they answered...then he said something about wanting to know who they were...threatening them. Front man (or someone that sounded like him) gets on the phone and tells him to get on the plane and don't get any ideas.

So if there's a sequel, it seems like it would be him vs them; trying to unravel it, bring it down, destroy it.

---

I could be wrong, but I remembered it as him wanting to get back in the game -

Also interesting, he won 45.6 billion yuan, as player 456. Another suggestion is the old man may be 456's father:

How bad is the crime rate in Seoul if that many people can go missing over a week multiple times.

I binged this in one night so forgive me if this question has been answered or if my numbers were off.

So there were 201 players after red light/green light.

Only 187 returned for the second round. So wouldn't that have reduced the payout by $14 million won?

Get out of here with that logic.

Wait, did this really happen? You would think it reduces the payout and player 442 should have won.

ETA: each person was 100 million won, so it would have been 1.4 Billion less

You watched it and that is what you came up with ?

He must be an accountant

Enjoyed it.

Lebron James didn't like the ending apparently.

I watched Ep 1 last night. We watched the dubbed version (not sure if there is a subtitled option), and it was almost unwatchable until the game started. I thought they did a good job setting up multiple characters in a short amount of time so you have more players of interest than just the main guy.

---

I just can't do dubbed live action, so I haven't watched this yet, as much as I want to. Gives me a headache with the mismatched mouth movements and sound. I couldn't get through 5 minutes of Kung Fu Hustle dubbed, but I love the subtitled version.

Then you're going to hate this. Not only is it dubbed but the voice dub doesn't match the subtitles dub at all. It's so far off it's disconcerting at times.

Y'all know Netflix lets you choose Korean with English subtitles right?

---

Actually I didn't. I'm a tech simpleton though so I'm probably the only person that wasn't aware of it.

War Department and I started this last night with the first 3 episodes so I've skipped over most of this here to miss spoilers. So far, after character development, we are digging it. Yes it's dark and has some holes in it, but overall it's been entertaining. Struck me last night that just like a kids game, when 456 figures out the drops of sweat help dissolve, he starts licking like a mad man and then others pick up on it...just like a kids game.

Also, 001 is a Korean Christopher Walken.

i also didn't know, but i don't like reading tvshows/movies,, prefer the dubs, as bad as they were

The business of entertainment is evolving right before our eyes..actually, it has been happening for a while now.

we will see more and more K-movie, Japanese other foreign-produced movies, and dramas on Netflix and amazon alike.

The squid game cost Netflix cost $27 million to produce and it may yield close to one billion$.

So, if you are Amazon or Netflix, do you spend $30 million on one hour of high-quality North American-produced programs like the expanse or get 9 hour series of K-movie?

Honestly in my opinion, this is a pretty big outlier. "Adults playing deadly childrens games" sounds like some B grade movie plot. Even the director said it was going to either be a hit or a total disaster, and nobody could have predicted how easy something like this could go viral with all the simple games in the movie.

My guess is Netflix will keep funding some moonshot innovative series by proven directors, but the consistent breadwinners will usually be english language films and funding for those will continue.

I did not... I saw the autoplay previews that were dubbed and immediately passed, but I will have to check this out.

After 3 episodes, we tried the dubbed version and turned it back to subtitles immediately. Very unnerving after getting into the plot and characters. Finished it off last night. Ending...OK, seemed kind of disjointed and odd.

They kill the doctor for having an unfair advantage, but number 456 gets to live bc the boss man liked him. I guess it's not what you know, not who you know....

Voices suck, but it is a better translation dubbed vs. subtitles.

It's so much different it provides additional insight at times and is downright hilarious at other times.

Strongly disagree. Watching dubbed foreign films/shows totally ruins them. Reading subtitles is not that bad.

The ones I find difficult to deal with are Bollywood shows where the characters slip in to English for a few sentences.
