Squid Game

I could've given this 10 but the VIPs ruined this for me. Why the need to add non Korean actors who are so bad at acting? Their sudden appearance in the show threw me off. I didn't know English speaking can be so cringy at such a masterpiece. There was no need to add foreigners, especially ones who are really bad actors. No offense, I'm not one to discrimate any color, but I swear those VIPs don't blend in. I normally like diversity in shows and like seeing a mix of differemt cultures but come on! Totally unecessary on squid game! It ruined this masterpiece! Also, the AI baby is too obvious though I understand it's best to use AI baby than a real one.

Just watched whole 9 episodes and my favorite was the 6th, Gganbu. Not perfect nor a masterpiece, but this is very well made and provides a certain level of emotional experience. The overall show was far beyond things that were shown in trailer. Very well directed, performed, and finding its own unique points from the genre mixture of various references such as Gambling Apocalypse : Kaiji, Battle Royale, and so on. Just hope all others enjoy this show not only in Korea but also everywhere!

Ps. Even to Korean ears, VIPs' English conversations were not well written nor performed. I think the drama could stand well enough without their presence and save the budget.

The VIPs once again are execreble actors. The gravitas and emotion of the show are turned farcical as soon as these rejects from every grade 7 play start talking. Even their gestures are cringe worthy. Non English speaking directors can not distinguish bad acting from good in foreign actors. Test this theory on any film made anywhere at any time in a non English speaking country, which contains an "American" in it. Japanese flicks are notorious for this, even Kurosawa. Break out the ham. I can imagine the ads run in Seoul papers: "Foreign English speaking actors needed." And since last time I checked Seoul isn't L. A., the pool of trained, good, professional actors must run at about ZERO candidates. Show is great otherwise: The contrast between the quality of acting in these cheesy foreigners and the Korean cast couldn't be more obvious. LA London Toronto and Vancouver have loads of actors serving table who would be great. Think about it guys.

Seriously. All things considered, they're a pretty small and self-contained part. The main characters were brilliant in their roles. I guess good actors figured that having parts where they're wearing masks the whole time wouldn't get them much exposure. The pacing and character development were superb.

I think it's really good show but the VIP acting is horrible. Seems rushed and no quality.

Slowness to find Truth on the boat team.

Very rushed acting and quality. Looks like Ai is playing big part of it.

When Squid Game premiered on Netflix in 2021, it quickly became a global phenomenon-and for good reason. The South Korean series, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, is more than just a dystopian survival drama. It's a razor-sharp commentary on capitalism, human behavior, and the moral cost of desperation. While many have already praised its thrilling plot and visual style, Squid Game stands out for its meticulous attention to quality-both in storytelling and production.
