Okay I gotta say. I love how Hwang Dong-hyuk collaborates and talks about his ideas and script and directing with the actors. I'm pretty sure I already heard about this when season 1 came out but I can't find any articles talking about that right now. But from so many interviews I've read now it seems like he really likes it when the actors put in some of their own thoughts and ideas. It's probably really hard to write and film and direct two seasons in such a short amount of time while also focusing on so many complex and deep characters. He has to think of every character all the time, while the actors can really focus on just their own character. So him talking to them a lot and discussing his writing and directing and what he wants and what the actors maybe see in their character instead is so cool. Making a show can only really work well if everyone works together and helps each other improve. Gi-hun is probably such a great character Because Hwang Dong-hyuk let Lee Jung-jae give his own thoughts and ideas and that is also probably why Lee Jung-jae loves Gi-hun so much!!! There is part of him in that character!! The love and care of the actors and the director and the director's willingness to hear out criticism or improvement ideas is exactly what makes the characters in this show so amazing and human and personal <33

I love reading about when the actors talk about the script and maybe wondering about stuff in it and then, instead of being like "I had a little bit of a different view on it but oh well I can't change anything", they instead talk about how they brought it up to the director and talked it through and then came up with something that feels good and right for both of them <3

Like.. I just can't bring myself to get mad at for example Lee Byung-hun suggesting to do stuff differently from the script and them actually talking about it and finding a compromise. That's collaboration, that's how you work well together in film and theatre. That's how you create realistic characters with nuance and depth. A director forcing the actors to do everything exactly the way he wrote it isn't fun and likely won't result in a good experience for the actors. But the fact that the actors felt comfortable enough to question and sometimes disagree, or more like explain their own interpretation of the script, instead of just going with Hwang Dong-hyuk's directing no questions asked is a sign of the Squid Game team working well together!!! I love that, that makes me so happy!!

I once did an internship at a theatre and the director of the play where I got to be present for the rehearsals regularly asked the actors for input on the characters and how they think something should be acted. And sometimes the actors there would also bring up their own ideas without being asked for them first. It seems like the same thing happened on the set for Squid Game. Why is that a bad thing? How is that "the director not knowing their own characters"? That's collaboration, that's teamwork, that's compromising and working towards ending up with the best and most fleshed out version of a character. Like that's so cool, that's the best. Obviously I don't know how it actually was for Squid Game, but I've heard quite a bit about how a lot of directors can be very self centered and unwillig to listen to any criticism and Hwang Dong-hyuk just really doesn't seem like he's that kind of director. As far as I know the actors really liked working with him. I just don't understand how he is being so villainized for being a good director

Also side note: idk if people just expected something else but imo In-ho in season 3 was a very well made and written character. Like I don't understand how some say that he's "wasted potential" or that Hwang Dong-hyuk hates him or that he wanted In-ho to be a one dimensional villain. Like huh? Where? In-ho has a lot of depth and yes some of that likely comes from Lee Byung-hun suggesting stuff to Add More depth. But I don't think he was written to be a one dimensional villain and I also really don't think that Lee Byung-hun's suggestions contributing to that depth are a sign of bad directing or bad writing. In my opinion it's actually the total opposite. It's actor and director/writer working together to in the end get the best and most human version of a character

just saw someone pointing out that gihun and junho switched places in season 3 … in the sense that this time junho became the billionaire and gihun fell.

Every day I’m in danger of encountering a 💩 Squid Game take on Twitter with gazillion likes.

yess! And i believe this also links to Gyeong-seok’s daughter as well. The reason she’s recovering from her illness is because the community chimed in to raise funds for her hospital bills. Countless unnamed people who have nothing to gain by doing this, but still doing it anyways because they care for the wellbeing of this little girl.

Why aren't we talking about the parallel between Baby 222 and Noeul's daughter???

Not even Baby 222's father could comprehend why Gihun cared about the baby. Why he sacrificed everything for her. He had no ties to that child. Thanks to his sacrifice, Baby 222 will live a pretty good life.

But the same thing happened with Noeul's daughter!! Someone saw this 1 year old baby whose father was dead and mother a deserter and, despite all reason given the harsh living condition in North Korea, they decided to care for that baby. Not only care for her for 7 years, but to get her out of North Korea! Someone decided to do something good for the sake of goodness. And thanks to that decision, Noeul will have the chance to reunite with her daughter.

Gihun wasn't the only hero in this story. There are always unnamed and unseen individuals doing good. Capitalism wants you to believe there aren't.

I think understanding squid game season 3 becomes easier once you realise that everything is an analogy. The squid game is capitalism. When faced against such a powerful system, you can choose to give up and accept that humans will always be controlled by money OR you can choose to continue fighting and have hope in the good of humanity. Inho is the first, Gihun is the latter. The random group of finalists represent governments, and how they’re often filled by men who use democracy as a tool to decide what’s fair and unfair. The baby represents all the goodness of humanity, and who the baby gets passed to also matter (junhee to gihun to inho to junho) (but that’s another analysis for another day). The VIPs are us: they make surface level commentary and only focus on the individual games rather than diving deep into the actual story.

just realised junho might have still been in contact with inho if he didnt go searching for him …

ppl getting all up in arms over max’s passport comment?? i gotta be crazy but doesn’t everyone know abt the existence of british bias? like i swear i see multiple fanbases slandering skysports day in and day out (for good reason). max makes a comment rightfully pointing it out and all of the sudden hes enemy number one 😭 . multiple things affect how drivers are seen in the media of course, and nationality is just one of them. of course race is a big element as well, and no one’s denying that, but if max points out the nationality aspect and you immediately think abt race, then i fear thats a you problem💀.

[untitled13609]

I hate that people are using this race to prove that max doesnt know how to race wheel to wheel. he DOES know how to do it, in fact he can do it incredibly cleanly if he WANTS to! its just that sometimes, racing cleanly is just not worth it!!! the guy was on pace with a fucking haas this race and his championship rival has arguably the 2nd fastest or fastest car. OF COURSE HES GONNA TRY TO RUIN HIS RACE 😭 why the hell would he spend time dilly dallying going wheel to wheel when it wouldn’t have made any difference anyways with the mclaren’s speed when he could just screw this guy up as much as possible ❓he’s been through 2021, he knows penalties dont matter much if the other guy is coming out of it worse for wear. this isnt some random ass “omg max lost his head” type of moment, this is WEAPONISED terrorism
