| I had 0 interest until all the hype and media. Decided to watch it and it is decent to be honest as I dont watch a lot of live action series. |

| As someone who's watched many kdramas, I personally think it's not the best, I even skipped most of the scenes in the last 2 episodes. It bored me to death. But I get why people would like it. I just think there are better Kdramas out there that deserve more praise than Squid Game. I'd give it a 5.5/10 for enjoyment but the quality of the production is a 9/10. |

| no opinion as I haven't seen it yet |
 |
| 7/10 for me but 10/10 for squ*rt game :) |
| I've watched just over half and I found it engaging throughout. Not only was it super creative and unique but the characters were also really fun to watch. |
| Best Drama I ever watched period. Can't wait for the Season 2! |
| I really liked this series. Great plot twist. Interesting backstories. And the actual games were so friggin' tense too. |

| I think it has a lot of elements that work extremely well for it aka the look, and feel is very unique and sticks with you. I wasn't excited about that end or last episode entirely but it was a great conversation piece. 7/10. Granted I don't know if I'd have the will to ever watch it again. |
 |
| I thought it was pretty good, the ending was disappointing though. Probably around a 7.5/10 for me. |
| thats what-she |
| I personally loved it. It got really intense. Maybe part of that was circumstantial for me since lately I've been watching mostly anime and every part of it is so different from anime are like making it feel refreshing. I can understand why it's so hyped. They put a lot of detail into things that most shows wouldn't. |
  |
| Some parts were enjoyable, I hated the ending though like a lot of people lol |
| its is average just like many Netflix Originals I do not get the hype at all |
| I liked it but I can't stand how gory it was. :( |
  BELIEVE you deserve it and the universe will serve it. |

Watch High Rise Invasion, that's gore and horror at a whole new level. idk.. the feeling of terror/suspense creeps me whenever you see someone being shot and the blood splurts a lot. I think i have a phobia. have you watched the Green Inferno? I never finished it HUHU i can't stand the scene where they just slice the human body etc etc. I love action but highlighting the killing thing then the bloodshed etc. huhuhu... 😰😰 Even in money heist, i tend to drift my gaze if they highlight too much of the knife stabbing. 😳😰 :((((( |

| it was an OK watch with unnecessary sex scene which could've been replaced for more meaningful dialogues or plot and that stalling time in the washroom was just annoying, I rated it a 7 on MDL |

| It was okay, 6/10 imo. |
| Bit overrated but still good and I'd still recommend. |
| yeah, i'd say i enjoyed it. didn't think it was god-tier like some people thought though. still, pretty good watch. |
 ✧ forum set by the loml, toria <3 ✧ |
| its very mid and predictable. it only god popular because it was edgy. |
| Not really. It's a tear-bait show. The only reason it's popular is because there aren't many shows like it. |
| My Story TLDR There were a lot of things I needed explanation for. It's not a daily event after all. Proof of My Story |
| I personally enjoyed it. Definitely not my favorite K-Drama but it's depiction of class conflict in Korean society is excellent. It's themes are similar to Parasite to some degree. |
| i kinda do? they managed to be thrilling and to create empathy, but those things alone aren't THAT hard to get from the public, specially considering it is from the battle royale genre and the games are creative. HOWEVER, i can not let myself not think about how they managed to screw everything else like the whole mc desire to enter the game was to pay his debts and so he could do something to prevent himself from never being able to see his daughter ever again but after the first episode those things are completely forgotten about even when he wins the game, no one is there to get the money and the daughter is never mentioned, and on top of that you have smaller things like the religion bit that relies on stereotypes of atheist and the horrible sinner religious man, never having any substance to the topic, or when the racist woman character in the end gets to be recompensated by dying as a hero near the end. baffling. squid game is something to enjoy it while you can and treat is this fun little thing that you saw and thats enough but dont try to think too much about it because there is nothing to sink your teeth into. |

| Haven't seen it and don't need to since I've seen enough spoilers to know what happens. |
| Pretty cool and the dubbed version is amazing! But I get sad when I think it's going to get a second season, because I know it's going to stink. |

| I guess the series is ''new'' and ''impressive'' if someone has no culture and doesn't know anything from ''The Most Dangerous Game'' to ''Kaiji''. |

| TV shows and movies like this make me rage, hence why I avoided it for a while. Still, I'm glad at least Gi-hun maintained his humanity in the end after being so close to losing it. There were some things that I liked about the show, but it ended up leaving me dissatisfied. It will probably have a second season where they'll explain the plotholes they left in the first season. But even if they do, the show will get a 1/10 from me if Gi-hun doesn't defeat the game and those VIP goblins for good. |

| think it was great |

| I quite enjoyed the show. Maybe there's something wrong with me but I enjoyed watching the deaths and that. Though once getting to know them, some characters deaths are just no good. Same thing with Game of Thrones, enjoyed it for the deaths. Also AOT. Deaths only. |

| I thought it was painfully average and immature. It's like the Demon Slayer of the battle royale genre (copies other, BETTER works and turns it into an average & simplified mess for a younger audience). |
 |
| It contained irrelevant scenes. Gross. |
   <°))))彡 <°))))彡 <°))))彡 |
| I'm late to the party, but I'll say that Squid Game was pretty solid. I won't be watching season 2 on Netflix because I'm real tired of Hollywood. On TVShows88, yes I'll watch it there. |
| I was waiting but squid game never came, instead we go pro wrestling...lol jokes aside, it was quite shallow trying to look superficially deep. I have seen survival shows with better game, better character struggle and even the ones who are better at being edgy. I guess production was good was the thing that was going for them. I am not sure about acting, it looks at times good and at times really immature. as a whole the show was simply bad and a chore to watch. |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| Now I know why North Korea killed that guy that tried to bring it over the border. TBH I would do the same thing. |
| Die like you did by the lake on Naboo. |
| nah, watched it cuz of the hype even tho the premise wasn't all that interesting and i just dropped it since it felt like it was too much of a commitment. 1st episode also didn't hook me either |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| It's a fun show and I loved every minute of it. Would like to see Alice in Borderland next. |
| And when creation goes to die You can find me in the sky Upon the last day And you will be okay |
A-L said: Would like to see Alice in Borderland next. honestly, i suggest reading the manga first. i just finished it myself and the live action didnt do it justice imo. it cut out a substantial amount of depth, and the acting is pretty cringey in general for trying to mimic anime. still think it's ok show but the manga is literally a masterpiece. |
