Just caught up on all the reactions! I'm not sure you guys will see this but there's a couple of things regarding Korean culture I wanted to mention because they're pretty important to understand the characters. Gihun's situation is a bit more complex that just him being a bum who can't keep a job. He mentions being a part of a big strike that escalated after his company laid off a lot of people, that means he more than probably ended up being 'blacklisted' and rejected from any company/industry job. Also about his relationship with his ex-wife and the step-dad, divorce is still pretty hush-hush in Korea and not something you'd talk about casually and having a good relationship between new families is just ... not really a thing (yet?) There's probably more I wanted to mention but I forget and this is long enough already haha

I watched a video that had a Korean language expert talk about the subtitle translations, and she spoke about the specific honorifics that's in that language (English honorifics would be Mr, Mrs, Ms, Sir, Lady). She pointed out something really interesting that shows what nuances we're losing in translation: In a previous episode, Sang-woo specifically tells Ali to stop using "sajangnim" (meaning President or CEO) and to start calling him "hyung" (meaning older brother). It's a significant moment for the two of them considering a man/boy would only accept being addressed as "hyung" if they were very close with the speaker. So that makes Ali's calls for "Sang-woo hyung!" in this episode even more heartbreaking. Because it cuts to Sang-woo hearing Ali calling out for his brother, his bro, and reacting to his betrayal. This show is fucking bonkers.

You guys are a-holes for laughing at “gganbu” moment 😄👊🏼 probably the most uncomfortable episode to watch.

Kourosh Mo

yeah was thinking that too. it was made a requirement to stop men (or help try and reduce them) from taking pictures under girls skirts

Gina Weston

yes ! i mentioned the wired video it’s so good at explaining everything that was lost you have to check it out when you have finished the season :)

cracked up every time hector reminded everyone how much time was left. i think another patron has mentioned this, but Wired on youtube did a video about squid game and things get lost in translation with the CC. great reaction boys, i think y’all are gonna have fun on episode 7!

Sandra Alcala

Just so you guys know regarding the camera on his phone making the shutter noise... Countries like Korea and Japan require ALL phones in those countries to have the camera sound permanently turned on. The setting to turn it off is completely removed from the settings.

Not sure which was better: Austin about to rip his hair out or Hector and his "you know what else is brutal? 9 minutes left in this show".
