Featured review

9/10

It's indeed NOT time to say goodbye.

It's a strong come back for a series, considering the tension put on by the fans. The expectations for the 2nd season were through the roof.

So:

vibe is there (bit different, but not disappointing)
tension is there (to some point)
acting is good
music *chef's kiss*.

red head is on fleak.

I saw the correct reenactment of Russian Roulette (WOW).

One more thing: the title of an episode is a continuation of an idea underlying the first season: commentary on socio-economical status in Korea (and in general). I hope the directors will not go that line.

Conclusion: I had fun, will watch next :)

9/10.

Trivia
Before the release, if you looked up on Google Squid Game season 2, an actual card from the show would appear that would land you into a small minigame of Squid Game's red light green light. The task would be to get all the players in the finish line, without the doll spotting them. The blue button would make them automatically move and when the doll would finish the iconic phrase, you'd have to press the red button to make them stop. If you get them all to the end, you'd receive a piggy bank and party confetti as your reward.

Goofs
Gi-hon has a dream of the masked frontman knocking on his door. This is impossible due to the fact that Gi-hon never saw the frontman up to that point and was blindfolded during the only meeting the two characters had.

Quotes
The Salesman: Is your mind starting to race? Now your odds of death are 1 in 2. That's pretty high indeed. I'm sure you're afraid, lots going through your mind. "The gun is in my hand. Screw the rules. Pull the trigger once or twice, and I can blow this guy's face off." Isn't that right? If you want to meet the person you mentioned earlier, you can simply shoot me with that gun and take it. But I'll have you admit one thing. That you're a piece of trash, just like everyone else. A piece of trash who got lucky and made it out of the dumpster.
Seong Gi-hun: What's the matter? Is your mind starting to race? That's right. Screw the rules. Now, with a single pull of the trigger, you could kill me. But I'll have you admit one thing. You put a mask over your face and do whatever your master says. You run, bark, and way your tail for them. You're nothing more than their dog.
