Squid game 2 is kinda like 'the book of Boba fett'.. meaning it is kind of like a bridge between seasons, like Boba fett was to Mandalorian. Season 2 is like a bridge between 1 & and the final season 3. I was curious how the director would continue to keep up the suspence when the 'cat is already out of the box'! Season 1 already had too many twists and layers beneath that I was concerned that it would be hard to differentiate from the previous season.. Some of my concerns were correct.. but overall it was better than expected, somehow similar characters with sad backgrounds, and new traditional korean games introduced seemed kind of an echo from season 1. However, there were some additional twists that kept the new season 'fresh' and still kept me to the edge of the seat until the ending. I think it was a smart move of the director to shoot 2&3 simultaneously and ending it, because that means he has planned the entire storyline beforehand.. instead of continously producing serveral seasons with new contents for higher ratings, because that usually leads to nowhere and ruins the 1st season reputation eventually, like I have seen in several successful to bad series. (with the exception of breaking bad) Anyway, good work and definitely looking forward to the next and final season!

(First of all, sorry for my grammer. I'm not a native english speaker)

I dont understand the hate, this Episode fits perfectly in the beginning of season 2. One think i really liked about this Episode, is that we actually get to see Kang Cheol. I actually didn't realise that until i watched the second season for a secon time.

I absolutely love the vibe that Episode 1 & 2 are giving. The Episode is able to put the viewer in Gi Huns perspective, wich i really like.

The cinematography, the colors. Everything about this Episode and Season 2 as a whole is absolutely amazaing.

I recommend this show to everyone.

Episode 2 of Squid Game Season 2 picks up the pace, delivering a more engaging and suspenseful installment than the premiere. Gi-hun's investigation into the organization behind the games takes center stage, and his growing obsession adds an exciting layer of tension. His interactions with new and returning characters create intrigue, hinting at deeper conspiracies at play.

One of the highlights of this episode is the way it balances character development with world-building. We get a deeper look into the people pulling the strings, as well as glimpses of how the games continue to operate. The sense of dread and paranoia is well executed, keeping viewers on edge.

While there's still no full-fledged game sequence yet, the episode does a great job of raising the stakes and setting up what's to come. The pacing is stronger than in Episode 1, and the final moments leave a lasting impact, ensuring that audiences are eager for the next chapter.

Verdict: A gripping and well-paced episode that builds suspense and expands the story, setting up exciting developments ahead.

I must admit that I am surprised by the character of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). Without resorting to regression, we see a significant progression in his personality as he becomes more meticulous and disciplined. By the way, for a moment at the beginning, I was about to curse the policeman, as he had seemed like a useless character so far. However, in this episode, he finally shows his value in the main storyline.

Additionally, I must say I didn't expect to see Woo-seok (Jun Suk-ho) as an important character, although-in hindsight-it makes sense. Finally, the plot remains intriguing, which is ultimately the most important thing. That said, I have to mention that the whole idea of involving another North Korean character leaves me somewhat uncertain, as it hasn't added much yet-though I could be wrong. We'll see.

Blan B is what we have all been waiting for, or me at least. The action starts now, and i wont say that I understand the full story now, as I truly dont understand the reason behind this episode events, yet im sure it will turn out great and in a good serve for the overall story, had my doubts for sure but someone wrote that they have shooted season two and three together, that alone makes you binge the entire season because you will have the same faith of the director in his work thats its good!

And again like they said its a bridge between seasons, think of it as the shows between marvel movies that you dont really enjoy but have to watch to understand the bigger picture!
