With 45 billion won up for grabs, it’s a chance at a new beginning. He, like most everyone else in the games, joins without realizing the stakes. He is deeply in debt to ruthless loan sharks and the little bit of winnings he just won at the race track were stolen by a pickpocket—Sae-Byeok—who he later meets at the games.
7: You can either move on pawn forward seven spaces OR split the move between two of your pawns.Warp- follow dotted lines to opposite side of the board. 5: Move one of your pawns five spaces forward. 4: Move one of your pawns four spaces backward. 3: Move one of your pawns three spaces forward. If you draw a 1, move your pawn out of the start and place it on the space.For both circumstances, even if you could not move your pawn, draw again.
The games were harrowing, the drama and humor were on-point and you really started to see Seong Gi-Hun’s transformation.Then the VIPs show up in Episode 7 and things take a major turn for the worse. The VIPs are so annoying.I had very few complaints for the first six episodes of Squid Game. Let’s look at the top three. It’s a show you can’t really look away from—its violence so engrossing and terrible, its characters so clearly desperate in both the real world where they struggle with money problems and in the games where they fight for their lives.But the show is not without its flaws. RED 1 means you cant move, but all OTHER players can.Squid Game is not one of those shows that you necessarily enjoy, though it can be quite funny at times.
The show would have been better served to cut all their lines and just have them as mysterious masked observers. Suddenly we’re listening to English instead of Korean and every single line is just bad.The VIPs take up a ridiculous amount of screen-time from the moment they’re introduced until the end of the games and I hated every single second of it. Their dialogue is awful and made more jarring by bad voice-over work.
But when Hwang Jun-ho finds the records room he spots his brother’s name in the winner’s list. We hear him on the phone, possibly with a parent, saying that he’s looking for his brother in his usual spots.It seems as though his brother has been missing for maybe a couple weeks. He goes to his tiny apartment and finds one of the mysterious cards with the PlayStation buttons on it. I don’t know if I missed something in the timeline, but when we meet Hwang Jun-ho he’s looking for his brother. Pointless and confusing.The VIP issue is definitely the worst in Episode 7 (VIPs) but Episode 8 (Front Man) introduced another major problem.In this episode we learn that the mysterious Front Man—the guy in the scary black mask running operations—is actually the brother of Hwang Jun-ho, the police detective who sneaks into the games when all the contestants go back for a second try.This is actually pretty confusing. The cop / Front Man subplot was.
It turns out that Oh Il-nam was the founder of the games, one of the chief villains from the start.Far from a clever twist, this just felt like a betrayal and a “gotcha” moment that didn’t ever need to happen. So he goes to the address and finds contestant #001 laying in bed looking out his window. It’s signed “Gganbu” which is what the old man, Oh Il-nam, called Seong Gi-Hun during the marble games. It sits in the bank and our hero lives like he used to, on the brink of poverty despite something like $38 million USD in the bank.Then one day he receives a message on one of those little cards. The money feels like blood money. Seong Gi-Hun is depressed.
Subscribe to my YouTube channel here. Not a full-blown crash and burn, but definitely a weak ending to a show that started off with such promise.What did you think of Squid Game?

There were still some great moments—the final game was so intense, I wasn’t at all sure what to expect—but as far as final acts go, Squid Game stumbled pretty badly. And all of Oh Il-Nam’s other crucial moments feel cheapened as well, including the tug-of-war scene and his fever and infirmity.Maybe it’s just me, but I really hated it even more than I hated Seong Gi-Hun’s pink haircut and even more than I hated him not going to visit his daughter in the end so that they could set up Season 2 which, by the way, will almost certainly not be as good as Season 1.So while the first six episodes of Squid Game were excellent in just about every way, the final three stumbled all over the place.
