Squid Game Season 2 Honest Review | Episodes 1-7

Squid Game season 2 finally got available for streaming on Netflix yesterday (December 26) and yours truly finished all 7 episodes in one seating as well. 1st episode really deserved the hype, Jun Ho was alive and Gong Yoo gave a spectacular performance as the suit man who we finally got to know as just another psychopath. I already had an impression in season 1 that whoever were involved in putting up this game were all psychopaths and I was right the whole time. We got the Front Man become a player of the game too and represent the number 001. He got 'friends' with Gi Hun throughout the series only to betray him in the end. It's crazy, really! Gi Hun was still too kind and trusting to even win a game against the Front Man. Speaking of Gi Hun, it was really stupid of him to think he could stop the game by invading and probably meeting the person behind all this. Tbh, I really find his mission to be very stupid and annoying. I get it, he means well and that he wants to save lives but really? Why mess with everyone's experience to become the winner of the game. They all went there in their own accord. The Front Man was trying to make him understand that but Gi Hun thinks differently. lol Oh well, that's how Gi Hun was made, if Gi Hun doesn't think differently, we won't get a 2nd and 3rd seasons at all. kkk

I got to love and hate a lot of characters in here. I love Gi Hun's team, obviously! The pair of marines, Jung Bae and Dae Ho. I love their tandem but it was a let down for me at how Dae Ho acted in the last episode. Seriously, if he doesn't know how to fight with a gun, he should've just stayed behind with the rest of the players in their quarters. Because of him, the rest of Gi Hun's team died waiting for his return with the magazines. Sigh. Jung Bae was admirable friend till the very end. Very courageous and stayed by Gi Hun's side till the very end. I'm just sad that Front Man killed him so easily like that and even in front of Gi Hun. 

My most loved character is probably Hyun Ju. Yes, the transgender one. She served in the military before when he's still a man, that's where she got her leadership and combat skills. She's very reliable! And of course, if I have my most loved character, I also have my most hated character. TBH, I was gonna say it was the addict Thanos but as I recall throughout the series, it was actually the old man Im Jong Dae (no. 100). Seriously, I wanted to slap his face every time he's on screen. lol So annoying! I was waiting the whole time for him to die and get eliminated from the game but there was nothing for this season. Hopefully in the next season! kkk 

I'm not gonna lie though, I was really annoyed by the villain Thanos here A LOT too! But what can we expect from an addict like him, anyway? 

Overall, I like the season 2 but I was disappointed that it was left hanging like that. I thought we're at least gonna have some open ending not entirely a hanging one. It looked liked Gi Hun's mission to save everyone was pointless like this. Now, we have to wait a little longer before this impression gets replaced.  Sigh.
