I feel this was a very good drama and it did deserve all the love it gets and deserves so have so many seasons. I seriously loved this drama so much for some reason because something about it was very exciting to watch. I will warn you that there may be spoilers so be aware.
I really like the plot of people being in debt, but you’re competing for 456 billion won which is a lot and can help anyone get out of their debt. I will say that killing people for money is not the way I would want to earn money in order to get out of debt. Also I literally cried so much during the marble game because it was so sad that you had to kill your best friend or a random person in a certain amount of time so it was based on friendship, trust, betrayal, and loyalty. I cried once Saebyeok had to leave without Ji Yeong because they were such good friends and it was like you’re leaving your best friend behind. I also was so sad for Ali because Sang U literally betrayed him by taking all of his marbles and acting like nothing happened. I was also so sad once II Nam was eliminated because I thought he was a literal nice old man, but turns out he was the creator of the games and wanted it to happen because he wanted to play his childhood games one more time and he wanted to play because he thought it was going to be fun. Also Hwang Jun Ho is a baddie in my opinion because he literally went into the island just to search for his brother, but instead found him and got shot by him. Also I feel so bad for player 456 because he had to win while losing people he made friends with during the time that they were in squid games. Overall, squid game season 1 was filled with emotion that you don’t see in a normal drama, but I can’t wait to finish season 2 and see season 3.
