I finished last night. I’m meh on it. I found the ending annoying and just setting it up for another season. But now I’m done so I can start season 2 of Morning Show. I finished last night too. I was expecting a big reveal/twist with the old man and was really disappointed. The marble episode was so sad and impactful and the ending ruined some of that for me. I also hate the red hair. I’m sure it’s symbolic for something but I don’t like it at all.
I get the games only happen at specific times so he ‘had to’ turn around from boarding the plane if he wanted a chance to get answers/take them down, but I don’t want a season 2 so am annoyed at lose ends not being tied up.

I didn’t think it was setting up for a second season but leaving it open enough for the audience to interpret the ending in different ways. We’ll see though maybe they will.

I am only 4 episodes in but I read ahead because I can't help myself with spoilers. I'm interested to see all the twists play out as I watch though.
The female player who fucks the big mean dude (sorry can't remember names or numbers right now) is so unbearably annoying and difficult to watch though. I hope she dies soon. That sounds awful but my god, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

willow, I very much agree with your opinion on the annoyingness of that character. Her voice grates so baaaaaaaaaaaaadly and her life motto about being great at the things she knows how to do - like do you have to repeat it constantly? On the other hand, I've really come to like Sae-byeok (#067). The marbles episode was so heavy, it hurt my heart watching it. I watched through the penultimate episode last night and it was something!! I'll watch the finale tonight but I have so many thoughts and questions I'm not sure will be answered or resolved. Like remember when the businessman offered Gi-hun (#456) and others the opportunity to play a game, throw down/slapping the squares? If he'd chosen a red instead of blue, would he have been a guard? There has to be something to the color coordination; the players all in blue, and the guards in red. Or I'm overthinking How did guards get selected?!!

She is annoying but I also think there were some aspects of her character that didn't translate well.

abbandkaa I didn't think of that re: the guards and color choice but to me, the guards were in pink and the players were in green. Not red and blue, lol. piratecat I'd have been interested to see the character without the dub. It is the voice honestly that bothers me the most. She sounds absolutely unhinged and psychotic most of the time. It is obvious that the character is playing an act but man, the voice is too much.

I am enjoying the show but I also think I'd have preferred it without dubbing entirely, and just subtitles. I understand why Netflix did it the way they did, to allow for a broader audience but it annoys me that we Americans can't just deal with subtitles.

The voice over actors were not very good and I agree, whoever did Mi-neyo’s voice over was annoying.
I do want to rewatch in Korean with English subtitles so I can hear the actual characters voices and emotions.

I don't mind subtitles, but my H is vision impaired; I'd have spent all of my time reading out loud to him rather than absorbing the story. I was wondering if the dubbed voices were actually the actors voices. And at the color comment - on my TV they're definitely red and blue. Not a true red by any means, but not pink and the others, definitely not green. ha!

You can change the settings on Netflix so it’s in Korean with English subtitles. When you open to the show there’s the menu on the left with “episodes and more”, “more like this” and if you scroll down there’s “audio and subtitles”. You can pick English subtitles and the audio as Korean.

Accessibility for vision impaired is also a good point. Re colors .... are these not pink and green to you? I'm fascinated lol.

That picture looks more pink and green but on my tv they definitely skew more red and blue. I could see maybe teal for the players, but the guards are all red to me.

I cannot see how either could be red or blue lol.
I do agree that the game pieces they are initially presented with were red and blue.

I’ve heard subtitles are better translated than closed captioning.

The internet seems pretty set on green but you see a lot of different articles or headlines saying either pink or red. I’m sure there’s something out there with official colors and I’m sure I’m wrong in my red and blue assessment.
