You’re so articulate and eloquent, kfangirl! This was really enjoyable, just like your reviews. You make a really good point about the fact that, if they have a second series, the message of the show would probably be the same. I’d still watch it though even if it is just to see if the handsome policeman is alive! 😍

You speak as well as you write, KFG! That was an interesting listen. I was not inspired by Squid Game (maybe primarily for reasons of territoriality – my genre! my genre!, unwitting kdrama newbies… which is rich from a fan of only 24 months. 😆) But, as usual your insights, added texture (and empathy?) to my watch. I am always struck by the differences between kdramas and kmovies. I use to feel like one or the other was trying to mislead the viewer about the true nature of Korean culture. But I came to understand it was not either/or, but both, being authentic. It pierced the veil of my dreamy kdrama world a bit, to accept that there are violent, rancid criminals in South Korea and that not all Korean men rock turtlenecks, but it suits me better to appreciate a reality. (Or some version of it.) Thanks for a good listen.

@KFG – Great podcast! Loved hearing more insights about SQG. I didnt hear anything incoherent or tactless 🙂
