After taking the world by storm in 2021, the curtain is about to close at Hwang Dong-Hyuk’s “Squid Game.”
Where Season 2 premiere over three years after its predecessor, “Squid Game 3” Wear Netflix Almost six months on the heels on it. Season 2’s characters, efforts and cliffhanger May be fresh in many senses, but it is worth looking at details all ”Octopus“Before his last cheer.
If you have not made time to bend all season 1 and 2 (or even if you have it!), Here is an update of what happened in “squid game” and what can be decisive for season 3. While most characters from season 1 are dead, Season 2’s most important player is still in great-but in a terrible danger unless gi-hun.
The new Gi-she
During season 1, our main character was a bit selfish, a little humming, but a cute guy who wanted to support his mother and daughter. But after a week in the games and looked at hundreds of people, he dies violently before him because of the rich keys-not to mention his mother’s sudden death during that time-Gi-Hun was transformed into a serious, hardened and barely recognizable person (and not just because of the drastic color.
During the years between his first and second time in the game, Gi-Hun seems to have barely kept in touch with his daughter, who moved to America with his mother and stepfather, or with Jung-Bae (Lee Seo-Hwan), one of his remaining friends. He spent the prize money just on his search for the games, part of a larger mission to finish them for good. And the smile From his old player -ID? Gone, probably forever.
Each vote counts
During Season 1, Gi-Hun and the other players took a voice about whether they would stay in the game after red light, green light-a voice that ended in them to go home and return to their lives. But shortly after, many took the chance to return to the games and risk their lives rather than keeping the ones they had.
This vote returned in season 2 as a perverse ritual; After a first vote to stay, players were obliged to vote again after each game; And every time so far they have stayed. Each person got a note to carry their workout, which indicates how they voted – mainly created two fractions in the dorms. Players have tried to appeal to them on opposite sides or thought more violent means when it doesn’t work.
The brothers Hwang
During season 1, Gi-Hun submitted a police report on everything he saw in the games, which caused the police Jun-Ho (Wi Ha-Joon) to sneak in as a guard and learn that his missing brother in-Ho (Lee Byung-Hun) is none other than Frontman, the highest ranked authority in the game and a former winner. The brothers met in the Season 1 final, with Jun-Ho who took a bullet and fell from a cliff … but his quest to reveal the games did not end there.
In-Ho had a pregnant wife before entering the games, but she died while waiting for him to secure money for his surgery. With nothing left to fight for, he joined the games and became the front man. During season 2, he joins the Games Undercover and throws the first crucial voice to continue playing before changing pages and gets Gi-Hun’s confidence (but finally loses Jung-Baes when he kills someone during the game “Mingle”).
Gi-Hun and Jun-Ho collaborated in season 2, before Gi-Hun decided to re-enter the games and lost all contact with the outside world. While he risks his life in the competition and tries to save individual players, Jun-Ho is on a boat with a team of mercenar that is determined to find the island. But as the Season 2 finals revealed, their biggest threat is the boat captain, which is not what he works.
Gi-Huns Kill Count
Lots of players are pleased to dispense with social decor and start murdering each other in the games-but not Gi-Hun. He never participated in dormant violence, sacrificed other players or even pressed them to create a disadvantage. He won the games on a technique, because Sang-Woo (Park Hae-Soo) knife-cut himself after all the death and pain he did.
And until I shot at the masked guards in season 2, Gi-Hun had not killed or tried to hurt anyone, even if he felt the wish-but he stands as proof that violence leaves a mark even on those who survive and witness it. He feels blood on his hands from what he has seen, if not something he has done. But now that he shot at these guards, led a failed rebellion and lost his last friend, what new lengths can our hero go to in the end?
Those who live
From the Season 2 final, surviving players include ex-military members Hyun-Ju (Park Sung-Hoon) and Dae-Ho (Kang HA-Neul), Mother and Sonduo Geum-Ja (Kang Ae-Shim) and Young-Sik (Yang Dong-Geun), Mom Jun-Hee (Jo Yuri) and several others expect. In-Ho is back in his role as a front man after the psychological experiment to get into the games and become friends with Gi-Hun, while No-Eul (Park Gyuyoung) will continue to offer viewers a look at the guards.
Many of these supported Gi-Hun’s rebellion even if they did not actively participate (or in some cases, both views on you, Dae-Ho), which means they relied on him to get them out of the games. That confidence can be shaken now, together with Gi-Hun’s actual ability to save them.
The one who died
Before he enters the game, Gi-Hun is seen trying to end in his daily life, including games during the day with the old friend Jung-Bae. During season 2, they met in the game and immediately gave Gi-Hun something to fight for, but also something to lose. In the Season 2 final, the front man killed Jung-Bae just in front of him, another devastating death on Gi-Hun’s conscience.
“Squid Game 3” premieres June 27 on Netflix.
