if squid game met the liar game

at first, i was sceptical to watch it; i kept seeing people compare it to squid game and i wasn’t the biggest fan of squid game but this was genuinely so messed up.

would i recommend it to people? yes, a 100% but i would personally never rewatch this because not only was this traumatic as hell but the sheer anger coursing through me while watching it was like nothing i could ever explain.

there will be spoilers after this so read at your own risk!!

unlike squid game, there was no actual games that the contestants played to earn money; everything was fair play and it was because of this that people became greedy.

the main goal of the game was to entertain the hosts and while watching it, it started to feel like we as viewers became the hosts because as much i don’t want to admit it, i found myself hoping for certain things to happen so that they get more hours.

now, the characters. the characters were the most infuriating part of the whole show.

1F : at first, i felt pity for him and i genuinely wanted him to leave with a good sum of money but he started to become greedy. way too greedy!!! and it ruined his whole character. when he was doing the performance in the last episode, i was thinking to myself ‘wouln’t it be nice if he juust fell and just died?’ for someone who tried to be a good person to everyone actually turned out to be the most vile and vexing character. at the end, i couldn’t care less if he died or not. he deserved to.
-10/10

2F : she was actually the only sane one with morals. i actually wanted her to succeed out of everyone. that’s all i have to say about her. she did nothing wrong and was only wronged to. because of all the shit she had to endure, i was literally only wishing she would live by the end of it.
10/10

3F : like 2F, i just wanted him to leave with his head in tact. i couldn’t even care less about how much money he won.
8/10

4F : i felt bad for her then i hated for most of the episodes and she managed to redeem herself in the last episode. do i forgive her? absolutely not!!!!! yeah, sure, she was forced to do all of the things she did to them but it doesn’t excuse the fact that she did them!! and she knew what she was getting herself into when she joined 6F and 8F. she is not a good person. she just profited of them because they had a higher status in there.
-3/10

5F : i just felt bad for her. she was clearly delusional and should not have been a contestant at all.
5/10

6F : THIS PIECE OF SHIT!!! NO ONE MADE ME MORE MAD THAN THIS GUY!!!! HE WAS NOT A HUMAN!!! oh my god, he had my blood boiling!!!! what 5F did to him in the last episode was very much well deserved. if it was me, i would have straight up wrung his neck in the chute! how could a character be this cruel and vile?!?!? i was praying for his downfall on every single episode.

7F : i liked him and then he lost me in the middle. i keep seeing people hype him up like are we forgetting that he still teamed up with 4F, 6F and 8F?!? i’m sorry but that’s actually inexcusable. sure, he helped them out in the end but he still did it. like 4F, he knew what he was getting himself into. i’m sorry but i can’t defend this man. i really can’t.
1/10

8F : she was an abomination to the game. at the beginning, she was so entertaining but she lost me after episode 2. she was a sadist and she is what capitalism is. someone in one of rhe early episode said something about how the rich breath and they make money while the poor have to slave away to make even 1% of what they’re making and she proved it. she got the room with the highest money per minute so money was never a consequence for her. we saw how lavishly she lived in her room and even with everything she was buying, her money was increasing rather than decreasing.
-8727/10

overall, the enjoyment level was subdued by the sheer amount of anger coursing through me because i was just hoping to get to the last episode too see the outcome of everyone.

would i recommend? yes
would i rewatch? absolutely not!
would i watch if there was a second season? yes

and at the end, we, the viewers, became the host. they entertained us to the end and the show only stopped because there was a death.
