I understand my statement that the season 2 is a good sequel to the previous season may seem shocking to many but there are a lot of parameters i evaluated the squid season 2 on to come to this conclusion .
1.I doubt the makers ever wanted to make a season . Squid game was most probably a limited series. So if we keep that in mind the story is pretty well thought out with no gaping holes that i could catch on
2. I watched this with low expectations. I have noticed a pattern, particularly in kdramas season 2 hardly ever lives up to the expectations of season 1. Best example of this is sweet home .
3. I did not expect them to just show another season with just games, like would see another group of players, playing the games. I wanted a continuation of gi hun's story like what he did with the money , background of masked man's life and most of all did jun ho survive or not. I got that ,so i am satisfied.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT SQUID GAME 2
1. The armed rebellion. It was soooo cool
2. The masked man .......
3.The gangster and his lackeys
4. Gong-yoo
5.the trans girl. Park sunghoon in the armed rebellion oh lord have mercy
There is a lot , i could write another paragraph but would end up spoiling a lot
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
1. The music. It was out of place
2.the rapper aka the evil character of this season. He didnt give off evil uk he was lame stood out of place. Really annoyed me whenever he came up. I had to skip all of his scenes. Compared to him Deok su was a much more developed character.
3. The side characters - i liked most of the side characters ngl but there were few that we not required at all maybe in the next season but not in this one.
1. The guys who daughter has cancer
2.the north korean mom
3. The min su gye
4.pregnant lady.
Under-uses Characters - Too many characters, but none leave a strong impression. Big names like Im Siwan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Young, Lee Jin Wook, and Wi Ha Joon had noooo role to play. They were just there
honestly compared to the season 1 where the characters looked genuinely scared these characters didnot act that well..????
4. In season1 people looked like they were fighting for there lives.. They looked scared when sm1 died. Here well u need watch the season to understand.
Finaly i would like to conclude i liked the season, acting was good. The games were good tooo . Yall giving reviews the games were bad. THEY JUST PLAYED 3 GAMES IN THIS SEASON AND THEY WERE FUN. NO SERIOUSLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO BORING IF THEY JUST REPEATED THE GAMES FROM THE PREVIOUS SEASON. For me personally the season 2 did as well as season 1 if not better. Well i hope you watch it
