"To be honest, throughout the shoot, I had a lot of long conversations with the director to really understand what the Front Man was thinking. "What's going through the Front Man's mind as he watches Gi-hun in the games?"" "I'm not sure how much of this was shown in the series. But before the final game, when the Front Man suggests to the VIPs that the child take part as Player 222, I felt, to some extent, there was a part of him that genuinely cared and wanted to save the baby. And he probably felt inferior while watching Gi-hun." "In the end, In-ho became a terrible person, but watching Gi-hun, who resisted to the very end and stayed true to his convictions, he was cheering Gi-hun on. But I also feel that the emotion dominating the Front Man all along was something like, "In the end, you managed to do what I couldn't.""

- Lee Byung-hun (Squid Game in Conversation)

yea i think this was the moment he knew he lost gihun. he knew gihun had just signed his death sentence. he knew there was no way gihun was going to let a baby die in the games. people are mad at in-ho for not stopping or changing the game for gihun’s benefit but he had already given him a huge advantage. he gave him a weapon and literally told him “screw everyone else. save yourself and the baby. that’s all i care about.” i think in the end, he chose to respect gihun’s decision

also i like to think he was breaking in this moment because this was essentially a test for gihun, just like oh il-nam tested him. just like oh il-nam gave him a chance, in-ho wanted to give that same chance to gihun because he singled him out as special just like he was. if gihun had chose differently in-ho would’ve perhaps invited him to a spot at his side. they could’ve been friends and partners. he really wanted him to live. he wanted him by his side, but gihun chose differently. with gihun’s choice, that hopeful dream is lost forever

SPOILERS FOR SQUID GAME THREE!!! I HAVE THOUGHTS.

(aka I scream about the season in exceedingly more incohesive paragraphs while getting increasingly more miserable at midnight while curled up in bed)

first of all why did player 100 survive for SO LONG. HELLO?????? OVER HYUNJU????? (I'll talk about this later) me and my siblings were fucking //cheering// when that old man FINALLY GOT KILLED OFF AND STAYED GONE. also I was so sad when gihun had his knife to his throat but DIDNT DO //ANYTHING/// because yes I know it would betray his whole moral values and character traits and yadayadayada I know I know 😔 but WHYYY it literally would've led to the same outcome but the baby AND gihun would be ALIVE. GOD. ARGHHHHH

HYUNJU. where do I START. my girl. my queen. my supernova. my honey bun. my sugarplum i thought for sure you were going to get into the final game you deserved so much more development at least ur with ur gf in heaven now but WHY WERE YOU DONE SO DIRTY IN EPISODE FUCKING TWO AND BY MOTHERFYCKING PLAYER 333 THAT SON OF A BITCH GOD. GOD. GODDDDDDD I HATE HIM SO SO SO MUCH JUNHEE YOU WERE SO REAL ANYONE WHO SYMPATHISED W HIM IS DEAD TO ME HE LITERALLY HAD NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HE LED TO THE BABY GETTING ORPHANED BY FORCING JUNHEE TO GET INTO THE GAMES AND HE WAS REALLY REALLY GROSS ABOUT GIHUN AND JUNHEE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SUCH A BIG AGE GAP AND OH MY FUCKINH GOD HE WAS JUST LIKE UWU IM THE FATHER GIVE ME MY CHILD BUT ALSO IM GONNA DROP THE BABY NOW BCUS I DONT WANNA DIE LIKE SHUT UP OH MY HOD NO ONE CARES ABT U AAAA

I'm good btw

I really REALLY hated the fact THAT ALL THE RELEVANT FEMALE CONTESTANTS GOT KILLED OFF BECAUSE OR FOR A ///////MAN////////// (junhee, the old lady, hyunju etc;) no-eul you god damned HERO you saved us all 🙏

okay so daeho depresses me so much because he used to be such a cinnamonroll and I'm sad about his overall fate ☹️ I kinda don't like how they didn't really explain why he froze up unless I missed something?? I'm pretty sure it was PTSD from the military or just general panic attacks rather than cowardness?? I get gihun and the others being pissed I guess but aaa idk i just felt sympathetic for him rather than anything else, I genuinely don't think he meant any harm to fall on the others :( THEY RUINED HIS CHARACTER I'm so PISSED this isn't you bro ☹️☹️☹️

I'm going to talk about inhun because I have thoughts.

I am a queer and I have been baited 🙏😔 I know I shouldn't have fallen for it and I did and I have no words really. to be fair, South Korea is a VERY conservative country so I didn't necessarily expect anything really major?? but gah all the netflix promo had me so fooled I'm sorry lads 💔 like did I misread something???? WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY ALL THOSE INTERVIEWS🙏🙏 did mej miss the memo??? </3

about the scenes themselves and everything idk how to describe it but how did they focus on inhun but also not at all?? with all the posters and trailers and everything I was expecting SO much more interactions </3 you guys don't understand though when I saw inho sat in his chair waiting for gihun I LEAPED I screamed like a MADMAN but aaaa why was gihun lowkey just dead silent the whole time like 🙏 nothing about the betrayal or like asking him why or like really anything?? he just tried to murder his ass then walked away without a WORD,,, I mean good for my man I guess he knows how he wants to be treated 😭🙏 also I feel like the whole youngil is the frontman was played down WAYY more than I thought it would be like I was SAT but it was just acknowledged and he just accepted it??? nothing else for the rest of the season except yearning gay stares from inho into gihuns security camera eyes show not tell ahhhh. To be fair I guess it could be showing Gihun's just ACCEPTANCE that all men are liars and go along with his overall character arc but aaaa I just wish there was more payoff and actual lines focusing on their dynamic if thats supposed to be the main focus of this show 😭

okay the whole "I need YOU and the baby to live" scenes and the "He wants you" and the constant and I meant CONSTANT stalking of gihun at every FUCKING SECOND (I'm not lying inho will not be caught DEAD not looking at gihun) were somewhat peak but AAA again I wish there was some ACTUAL DIALOGUE //BETWEEN THEM// THAT WASNT TWO SENTENCES!!!!

BTW why did gihun say a grand total of like ten sentences this whole SEASON?? 😭 what happened to him being THE MAIN CHARACTER 🤡

gihuns death in general also just PISSED ME OFF lol like he fell off for the baby to live and that WAS THE END????? 💔💔 HE COULDVE LIVED W THE BABY BTW IF 333 DIDNT FUCKING EXIST AND DIDNT PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON TO START THE FUCKING GAME BUT NO!! HE HAS TO DIE BECAUSE WHY NOT!!! I'm ashamed to admit that when it focused on inho looking over gihuns body for like over ten seconds and it focused on his eye I actually thought he was still somehow alive.. but NOPE he's burning in superhell while the whole island fucking explodes in the place that is against everything he has stood for this entire show yay I love this sm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is this how castiel fans felt like ❤️‍🩹 I understand your pain

the mum and her son also really really depressed me like my shaylas :[[[ I KNEW the son was going to die but goddd I really really hated their fates

also Idk if this is anyone but I really didn't give many craps about minsu ☹️ he's precious but i genuinely just didn't care much for it??? maybe its just because i didnt rewatch season two beforehand but aaa like reunite with the girl you knew for like two days!!!! I'm sorry to any diehard minsu fans I'm just really really REALLY salty about hyunju and I didn't get how he made it so far into the game ;;

*clears throat* can I have a moment of silence for all the junho fans who thought he would be RELEVENT this season and actually DO SOMETHING,,, come on girl give us nothing!!! ^^

(this also can apply to gihun fans I'm sorry gals 🙏) (namgyu fans I'm sure he's still somehow alive) (thangyu fans rip he shit talked him the whole season and genuinely didn't seem to care UNLESS it was just denial and the drugs talking?? I'm going out on a limb for you guys 😔)

in conclusion, I am very much miserable and I KNOW there were positives to this season but I'm too depressed to sing my praises </3 If you disagree with me or i misunderstood something REALLY badly,,, sorry lads I'm going to be processing all this in no shorter than a year 😉

Noway he got shy🫵

[sofosodolc]

How he tried to make him feel not guilty😭😭

Can we talk about how at the beginning of chapter 69 Jake points out that they are quite different and, at the end of it, he throws away the slippers (contrary to the beginning, when Jake is shown as tidy) trying to be similar to Shin? omg, they are so gay.
