Did you guys not watch it in English?
So it's a bit like Battle Royale?
Shame, I'm not doing subtitles anymore.
Interesting. Care to expound on that? Do you find the dialog closer to the original in text rather than dub?
It's called the Great Reset --Korean StyleSo just finished the first episode. It's Korean and quite an interesting plot. Where close to 500 people in debt agree to go play a game where winner takes millions in prize money. If you fail the games you die.
Yeah for a minute I thought it was a real game show too. I thought it must be north Korea.
I only prefer dubs for anime. They've improved so much over the years, and I've become familiar with so many voice actors.Interesting. Care to expound on that? Do you find the dialog closer to the original in text rather than dub?
I grew up watching old bad Kung fu movies where the dub was like 2 seconds off, so I'm generally impressed with how well they're able to do it now (the studio tech has come sooooo far, so to be fair to the old school guys, it's much easier today).
You can switch the audio to english...I saw that it is #1 in the U.S. and thought, hang on, most folks hate reading movies but this is #1?!
Im reading it. Korean movies are usually good.You can switch the audio to english...
me too, i usually prefer to hear the original actors inflection and suchIm reading it. Korean movies are usually good.
Got two questions for anyone who finished
Why the hell was the brother living at a "cyber dormitory" and behind on rent if he's both a former winner and Front Man? Even if he wanted to stay under the radar by maintaining residence there surely paying at least a little in advance and making up an excuse to his mom for his absence would attract less scrutiny.
Also how does the ending of the sixth game not violate the clauses "a player is not allowed to stop playing" and "A player who refuses to play will be eliminated," can the third clause be invoked at any time? Even if so 50/50 isn't a majority, other dude didn't need to kill himself just vote no and go back to the game til he won

I could be wrong but I think the apartment was just a front and it just was presented the way it was to throw us off. I doubt there's anything more to it.
Player 456 didn't refuse to play necessarily, he was just putting it to a vote like you said. The other guy stabbed himself because he couldn't live with himself and he wanted his mom taken care of. It was turning his character around from someone who sacrificed people who trusted him for his benefit, to someone sacrificing themself for the benefit of the people they trust. He could have said no but it would have meant the protagonist would be responsible for his death and you lose that meaning in his character arch.
I don't think so, I just checked and he's in the same clothes to check out the apartment as when he sees the card. Then when he talks to the front desk guys he says "when I saw that guy yesterday..." Suggesting he didn't just have a flashback, in which case he could have just followed him out to ask, but found the card later that day then came back the next to ask those guys.I thought that scene of the cop visiting his brother's accommodation was a flashback scene from like 5 years ago? Because at the police station he saw the squid game card and instantly recognized it.
I mean that's where his brother thought he lived and the land lady said she hadn't seen him in about a week, suggesting he was at least there occasionally
I guess my question was a more general one about the vote that maybe I missed, but being allowed to call for one mid-game certaintly seems to go against the spirit of the rule. Could a losing tug of war team invoke it right before they go over? Like the team the main characters played against when they lost their footing.
I took it as the other guy not wanting to leave empty handed again more than shame, but fair enough. Ii just mean in terms of in world logic
