with her mom and stepfather, but he could get custody if he proves his financial means. Gi-hun doesn’t seem entirely interested in what it all means until his mother tells him that Ga-yeong is moving to the U.S. After he finally wins (and briefly forgets about the money over the chance to slap back, which, fair), the recruiter outlines Gi-hun’s disheartening financial circumstances and gives him a business card with three symbols on one side and a phone number on the other. I lost count of how many times he gets slapped before he actually wins one round, but considering my limit would have been three, he plays long enough to prove himself both desperate for money and a glutton for punishment: the ideal candidate for the upcoming games.

(The penniless losers? They get off with the low price of a slap to the face.) To win at ddakji (origami meets pogs), you have to flip your opponent’s folded origami square with your own, and it looks like it requires both brute strength and an eye for angles to be good. Gi-hun thinks he’s a missionary at first, but no, the recruiter is just a handsome man offering cash to strangers who beat him in a round of ddakji. (Also, poor Ga-yeong.)Īt the end of this rough-ass day, Gi-hun meets a mysterious recruiter (played by none other than the Goblin himself, Gong Yoo). All this happens on his daughter Ga-yeong’s 10th birthday, no less, resulting in a disappointing dinner of tteokbokki (spicy fish and rice cakes) and a gun-shaped lighter when all she wanted was fried chicken. In the first 12 minutes of the episode, Gi-hun is so unbearably pitiful - stealing his mom’s debit card, recklessly gambling her money on horse races, losing his winnings, getting beaten up by his loan shark, taking back a 10,000-won tip (about $10) from a cashier - it’s nearly impossible to root for him. How the show got so big is a journey still being sussed out, so for now the best thing to do is just join the ride.Īfter a black-and-white scene explaining the titular game, we meet our first main character, Seong Gi-hun, a divorced dad with a gambling problem and massive debt who lives with his mother.

with an eye-catching trailer and a dream. Squid Game, the new K-drama that may become Netflix’s biggest show ever in the next couple of days, arrived in the U.S. The ones who don’t stop in time? Shot down. Helpless, Soo Ha started crying.A giant animatronic doll sings the Korean phrase for “Red Light, Green Light.” Adults in green tracksuits have the length of the jingle to move forward and stop before the doll turns. Joon Gook started thanking Soo Ha in Joon Gook's thoughts and told Soo Ha not to expect any more witnesses since Joon Gook already threatened them away. To the court, Soo Ha made a seemingly ridiculous statement. Joon Gook was shocked, but Joon Gook's lawyer further pressed the judges to answer whether or not Soo Ha's testimony could be trusted. Soo Ha got the judge's attention and the nurse beside him read Joon Gook's exact thoughts, but the situation ended up backfiring on Soo Ha when he admitted that he could read other people's minds. Unfortunately for Joon Gook, Soo Ha heard his thoughts and wrote his exact words on his writing pad.

Joon Gook looked at Soo Ha and thought that "all these idiots" were on his side. Sitting in the judges panel was Seo Dae Suk as one of the judges. He developed a language problem so it was hard to further believe in the child's testimony. Joon Gook's lawyer (So Yi Hyun in a cameo appearance) explained that Park Soo Ha was eight-years-old and in second grade and therefore too young to understand what happened. Soo Ha must have misunderstood the situation. After Joon Gook broke the windshield, he realized Joo Hyuk was already dead. Joon Gook broke the windshield to save Park Joo Hyuk, Soo Ha's father. Back in the courtoom, Min Joon Gook explained that Soo Ha had misunderstood him.
