Is there a thread on this yet? I'm 3 episodes in already and it's fantastic.

Not started yet. Can you let me know if there is any sex in it.

SagittariusDwarf · 26/12/2024 20:40

Binged it all today; started well but went downhill in my opinion.

Thaiyogamassage · 26/12/2024 20:57

No sex up to episode 4.

@SagittariusDwarf Oh no, it's just getting into the swing of it now. The acting is superb this season. I really love how different Seong Gi Hun is this season.

I always Google the cast whenever I watch a series and I can't believe the real ages of some of the cast members. I thought the actor playing the recruiter was about 25. He's 45 in real life! 😯

I am really enjoying it, on the last episode now. Not quite as good as the first but still worth warching.

Hisnutsroastingonanopenfire · 26/12/2024 21:48

Just started it

ButterCrackers · 27/12/2024 19:57

I watched the first episode and found it tedious.

I watched the first episode and found it tedious.

It's really slow for the first couple of episodes but does get better.

SabreIsMyFave · 27/12/2024 20:23

Oooh, has it started already? Must go put it on my watchlist!!! Thank you. Will avoid this thread until I've seen a few episodes though! Smile

motheronthedancefloor · 27/12/2024 20:39

I actually liked this series better, I was able to follow it better and the dubbing was much better. Although Gi-Hun (is that his name) is a bit thick for someone who has spend 3 years planning revenge - I'm like duh dude, pay attention!

PlumpHobbit · 27/12/2024 20:43

I think it's pregnancy tiredness and having the lurgy but I couldn't get into episode one at all! I fell asleep halfway through then went and had an hour long nap

Re watched while eating dinner and it didn't really grip me like the first season did I found it a bit slow, hoping it's just the tiredness and it gets better I really enjoyed the first series so disappointed I felt this way

I also couldn’t get into the episode - watching something else now. I might rewatch later.

Sunshineclouds11 · 27/12/2024 20:52

I've watched first two eps and tbh I had no clue what was going on 😂 pretty boring but going to stick with it as loved the first series

Hisnutsroastingonanopenfire · 27/12/2024 20:58

I've forgotten what happened in series 1. I think the first 2 episodes would have been easier to follow if they'd not had such a big gap between series.

frogpigdonkey · 27/12/2024 21:05

I was very disappointed tbh. Bits of it were good but characters and plot much weaker than S1. Don't really care what happens after the cliffhanger

Hisnutsroastingonanopenfire · 27/12/2024 21:39

The shock value isn't there this time round

Hisnutsroastingonanopenfire · 27/12/2024 21:51

They're also only playing for £25 million, which isn't an awful lot considering the stakes.

PoissonOfTheChrist · 27/12/2024 21:54

I gave up part way through the second episode after DH fell asleep due to how dull it was.

Hawkerslife · 27/12/2024 22:25

I just finished episode 3 tonight and I'm loving it so far. I'm interested in how the storyline with that female guard progresses.

Twonewcats · 28/12/2024 09:17

It's Squid Game, not Games :'(

Stressybetty · 28/12/2024 15:15

Seen the first episode, DH falling asleep 🙄. Loved the first season.

PlumpHobbit · 28/12/2024 18:31

2 episodes in and I cannot get into it even though I loved the first series. The characters are leaving me cold. It's also very slow imo. DH is loving it.

They're in the arena now so hoping it picks up?

ChaosHol1 · 28/12/2024 18:33

We binged it on boxing day and all found it rubbish compared to the first series. Very underwhelming. Found the acting worse.

Mintiie · 28/12/2024 18:34

We've watched 2 episodes. I really like it!
It's well done, good acting, great to see Korea's streets and people etc. I feel there is more emotion this time round, when he went in the first time he was desperate and a loser, now he has a vengeance!

Mintiie · 28/12/2024 18:35

Also, I think people need to remember that Asian people get very emotional and high pitched shouty when they're mad, so it can seem silly when dubbed in English, but that's how they talk.

Twonewcats · 28/12/2024 19:11

I've no idea why most people watch it dubbed. It's so much more authentic watching it subtitled
