Having lived in South Korea for some years, I ended up watchin some of their shows, since Netflix gives you different selections based off of the area your internet connection is coming from. I must say I am surprised at how well Koreans make movies, and the style is totally different from Americans. I watched some good shit while I was there, like: Train To Busan, and Sweet Home. Ironically though, squid game came out after I had left the country, and I had to watch it in central Texas. Squid game blew up like crazy, and I’m pretty late making an entry for it, but fuck it, imma talk about it anyway. If you haven’t seen it already for some reason, don’t scroll any lower, cause there’s spoilers immediately, and I don’t want nobody talkin’ bout my blog page be spoiling readers. You have been warned.
Fam, first off I just gotta say, that Kang Sae-Byeok chick, the one who got that glass shard in her stomach, and got her throat slit by the trifling homie when she was passed out? Fine as fuck, would tap 100%. I don’t know what it is, she not thick, but her face is immaculate. It makes perfect sense that she’s a model in real life. I’d smash her lil friend too, the one who lost at marbles.
Moving on. All except the first and last games were too risky, and glass tiles was the scariest. Not knowing what shape to pick, and having an umbrella, I probably would’ve died if I didn’t see the main homie licking his cookie. Hardest game to play is either tug of war, or glass tiles, because it’s all up to chance. If you get weak partners and a strong offense, you can’t expect to win on your own strength. You have to count on everyone including yourself. Glass tiles is only easy if you’re in the back, and the people in front of you aren’t hesitant. Marbles is complete chance, too, but it’s 50/50 so I like the chances much better. Even though I don’t know an y marbles games, I’ll ask and watch the other people playing, and I’ll learn, goddamn it. I can’t say I wouldn’t have played squid game, and I can’t say for sure that I would’ve survived, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would have made it past red light, green light. Everybody was tripping, literally. I would’ve bear crawled to be able to stop quicker if I had to. I would’ve tucked my shirt in just in case it moves a little when I stop. Everyone started running when they realized that one kid got shot, even though they told you not to move. Just tragic.
I was guessing the black masked homie was the policeman’s brother, but when he asked him on the cliff who he was, I knew it for sure before he took off his mask. Two things I didn’t expect, though: Oh Il-Nam, the old man, to be behind it all, and for the marble game to be against the partners. As soon as they said you will play against your partner, I was like “AWHHH FUCKK”. I was hyped ready to see how they were gonna win, then they pulled that on us. I never expected the old dude, even for a second. I really was surprised when it was revealed he was still alive. I thought it was sad when he died, but I wasn’t like “fuck”, because it only makes sense for him to die. He’s old, and the main homie has a mother…ahem. Had a mother to look after, and he still got his daughter to meet, and the rest of his life to live. It was much sadder when the other girl got shot in the head after she lost the game on purpose. Even more fucked up is when the trifling homie, tricked the homie from Pakistan, Ali, out of his marbles. That was dumb of Ali to trust him, though. Maybe too much good in his heart. Crazy. I was glad when Jang Deok died. He was the Korean gangster that fucked ol’ girl in the restroom. She said she was like 19 or something, that’s cap, but whatever. I’m glad she died with him. She was hella annoying, and a bit racist.
Everyone is mad at the main homie cause he didn’t get on the plane. I’m not mad at him because of that, but I do think he’s stupid for it. Yea he wants to stop the VIPs and them from ruining more lives, but that can wait. What I would’ve did is: I would’ve gotten on the plane, went to see my daughter, bought a house for us to stay in, spent time with her for a couple months, get her a necklace with our pictures in it, buy her a lil’ Korean PS5… Then I would’ve explained to her she’s gonna stay with her moms or a babysitter till I get back, cause daddy’s gotta handle some business in Gangnam. Big fuck up right there. And he died his hair red. Why, what for? It’s too late for him to be a K-Pop star.
Well this was unprofessional. It’s cool though, cause that’s how I like to keep it, really. What do you think about squid games? Did you love it? Was it sad? Do you think there’ll be a sequel? Comment down below if you’d like me to update, and what movies you’d like me to post about next.
