On Squid Game Season 2 Jan 5, 2025
It's not as bad as people claiming it to be.
If you have been watching Korean dramas, then you'll be fine.
But if not, and you are just watching this for the hype of S1 then you'll be a bit disappointed.

S2 is a bit watered down version of S1.
I would say S1 was gruesome. It was so brutal. In fact they It revealed the vicious nature of humans. Games were much more dramatic in S1 and were the main focus of the drama. And the world had never seen a drama like this.

But things have changed a bit now. Now we are in 2025. Kdramas are more popular now. We have seen these gruesome type dramas popping up here and there, like Sweet home, Parasite the grey, Gyeonseong creature, Moving, Shop for killer etc. So S2 was not that sensational since people are familiar with the recipe.

Compared to S1 games S2 games were not that dramatic. Games were not the main focus of the drama at all. It even starts with the familiar game Red light green light. And we only played 3 games within the 7 episodes. So there's much less thrill to the audience. And we're are left a cliffhanger for the grand finale.

What's there is more background information. What was ML upto? What was JunHo doing? etc. S2 also has some stories to tell. There's even a storyline of a Mask Guard as well. Also the main storyline progress and we have more screen time with front man than ever before.
So there's some stuff to watch and enjoy.

You can wait till S3 is released to watch this season. That was my plan as well. But there are too many spoilers on the internet. So before it's too late I just watched it. Still 8/10 drama.

The Argan part is so unnecessary, makes it feel like the scriptwriters do not know how best to end the show. High…
They shouldn't be this faithful to the novel

The scenes in Argan reminded me of his movie Narco-Saints. I'm very happy with the ending. I will miss this drama;…
Honestly I would delete the whole Argan scene from his drama.
But not that specific part.

On When the Phone Rings Jan 4, 2025
The phone will never ring again.
But we'll have the voice recordings saved to our phones.
9.5/10 for me.
It was a much deserved ride for everyone who watched it while it was airing.

Things I would have
1. I would have never let the audience pick up clues on the master.
2. I would not include Argan to this.
