Valentine’s Day with squid game characters <3

Seong Gi-hun x reader, The salesman x reader, the frontman x reader, Kang Sae-byeok x reader, Cho Sang-woo x reader, Hwang Jun-ho x reader, Kim Jun-hee x reader, Lee Myung-gi x reader, Kang Dae-ho x reader Thanos x reader, Nam-gyu x reader, Park Min-su x reader

Summary: What each squid game character would do for their significant other on Valentine’s Day.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Seong Gi-hun (456)

Gi-hun would go for something simple but heartfelt. If he’s struggling financially, he might cook a homemade meal or surprise his partner with a small but meaningful gift—maybe something nostalgic that reminds them of a happy memory. He’d definitely write a heartfelt note, even if it’s a little messy.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

The Salesman (the recruiter)

A smooth talker and a man of mystery, he’d turn Valentine’s Day into an experience—maybe a surprise trip, a luxurious dinner, or even a playful challenge where his partner has to “earn” their gift. Expect expensive, elegant presents and a perfectly planned evening.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

The Front Man (Hwang In-ho)

He wouldn’t be flashy about it, but he’d make sure his partner feels special. Maybe he leaves a single red rose and a handwritten note somewhere they’ll find it, or he arranges a quiet, private dinner where he actually opens up a little—for once.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Kang Sae-byeok (067)

Not one for grand gestures, Sae-byeok would show her love in quiet, meaningful ways—maybe cooking for her partner, lending them her jacket if they’re cold, or just spending the whole day with them, listening more than talking. If she gives a gift, it’ll be simple but deeply sentimental.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Cho Sang-woo (218)

Sang-woo would approach Valentine’s Day like a business deal—strategic, polished, and well-planned. He’d book a high-end restaurant, buy an expensive but classic gift (think jewelry or a designer item), and make sure everything goes perfectly. He wouldn’t be overly affectionate, but his actions would show he cares.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Hwang Jun-ho (The Detective)

Jun-ho would be the type to remember everything his partner has ever mentioned wanting, and he’d use that to create the perfect, thoughtful surprise. Whether it’s a rare book, their favorite flowers, or a quiet getaway, he’d make sure the day feels meaningful.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Kim Jun-hee (222)

Tough and independent, she’d act like Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal—but she’d still put effort into making it special. She might cook dinner, surprise her partner with something thoughtful (but act like it was “no big deal”), or plan a relaxed but intimate night together.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Lee Myung-gi (333)

He’s not the type to be overly romantic, but he’d still try. He’d take his partner out for barbecue and drinks, making sure they have a fun, laid-back night. If they wanted something more sentimental, he’d grumble about it—but he’d still go out of his way to make them happy.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Kang Dae-ho (388)

Sweet but a little shy, Dae-ho would overthink his Valentine’s Day plans, wanting everything to be perfect. He’d probably go for a classic, heartfelt approach—flowers, chocolates, and maybe a picnic date. If his partner likes surprises, he’d do his best to plan something cute.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Thanos (Choi Su-bong)

Flashy and confident, he’d go all out—matching outfits, a surprise performance (probably a rap dedicated to his partner), an expensive dinner, and an over-the-top gift. He’d love posting about it and making sure everyone knows his partner is spoiled.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Nam-gyu (124)

He’d probably forget it was Valentine’s Day until the last minute, then panic-buy whatever’s left at the store. If his partner calls him out, he’d make up an excuse like, “I was waiting for the perfect moment,” and then promise to make it up to them.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Park Min-su (125)

Shy and awkward, Min-su would nervously give his partner a heartfelt but clumsy love letter, then plan a quiet date, like watching the sunset, but he’d be too anxious to enjoy it fully.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

A/n: happy Valentine’s Day pookies 😙 I’ll be spending the day with Captain America in cinema… so slay for me 💪🏻💪🏻

SQUID GAME RESTAURANT HCS

heyy this is literally a ripoff of @yurozo’s resident evil restaurant au but with squid game instead, hope you enjoy! go check hers out too it’s gold :)

this has got like…..every character i had even a semblance of a headcanon for LMAO (i’m sorry young mi and ji yeong fans 💔)

i am also sorry if this is inaccurate to actual restaurant roles and stuff, this is all for shits and gigs 🫶

ali abdul (player 199)

ali is a cook. he’s genuinely happy to be there all the time and never messes up a dish. everyone feels good about their days at work when ali is there because he sort of acts as everyone’s rock. he also has a stash of snacks for employees on their breaks, and remembers everyone’s birthday and gives them gifts.

cho hyun-ju (player 120)

hyun-ju is a hostess. a bit quiet but very sweet and people often leave great reviews because of her. she tends to be a little blunt when telling people about their wait times but no one’s ever complained about it.

cho sang-woo (player 218)

sang-woo is a manager. he mostly takes care of budgeting and handling vendors. rarely is seen anywhere but his office and by the back wall of the building when he’s taking his smoke breaks. he once caught su-bong with his vape back there but didn’t say anything to anyone because he was too damn tired.

choi su-bong (thanos, player 230)

su-bong is a cook. he tried to bring his vape in once and nearly got beat up by jung-bae. also tried to seize control of the speaker to play his own music and nearly got beat up by woo-seok. su-bong is surprisingly a decent cook. gi-hun definitely had his doubts about hiring him due to past…incidents, but his cooking makes up for it. he’s the best at dessert!

choi woo-seok (found the salesman in s2)

woo-seok has control of the speaker in the kitchen. he insists he can’t cook without a good track. at first he was very intense about his music, but eventually relented and let everyone but su-bong add a few songs to his playlist.

han se-mi (player 380)

se-mi is a waitress. she doesn’t make very much small talk and rarely if ever looks happy to be there but for some reason old people love her, so whoever happens to be the host on her shifts puts old people in her section. she pretends to be exasperated with this when talking to fellow employees but secretly doesn’t mind it.

hwang in-ho (frontman, player 001 s2)

in-ho owns the restaurant. he rarely comes in but when he does it's all hands on deck and everyone better be in line. even su-bong tends to shape up when in-ho's around. he's just got that kind of vibe.

hwang jun-ho (policeman)

jun-ho is the head waiter. people tend to think in-ho gave him the job just because he’s his little brother but jun-ho is genuinely good at this thing. takes no shit and will pull aside waiters who make mistakes to help/lecture them.

jang geum-ja (player 149)

geum-ja comes in every week when yong-sik is working so he can cook for her, since it’s almost always been the other way around. everyone looks forward to when she comes by because she’s basically everyone’s mom. brings everyone gifts around holidays and birthdays!

kang dae-ho (player 388)

dae-ho is the bartender. he is friendly and sweet and makes seriously good drinks. he frequently gets peoples’ numbers slipped to him on cocktail napkins because LOOK AT THE GUY. he also will make sure his marine tattoo is showing if creeps are bothering folks and will intervene if situations escalate. sometimes su-bong gets up to the bar and tries to sneak a few shots but dae-ho always turns him away. he’s serious about his job like that.

kang no-eul (guard 011)

no-eul mainly does scheduling and handles bigger parties/events at the restaurant. learned her lesson real fast after accidentally putting su-bong and nam-gyu on a shift together. almost never takes requests from employees to be scheduled with another employee because she knows that work will pile up if that happens. she hangs out with hyun-ju and gyeong-seok after work and will look after nayeon if gyeong-seok is working when she isn’t.

kang sae-byeok (player 067)

sae-byeok is a delivery driver. since she doesn’t really play well with customer service, gi-hun decides to start delivering. sae-byeok is real good at her job. she’s never been late to a drop off location; will stare at cooks who move too slow (su-bong.) until they start hauling ass and making an effort to finish cooking. often has her little brother in the backseat of the car. he’s on youtube shorts a lot.

kim jun-hee (player 222)

jun-hee is a hostess. she's one of the more quiet ones but is very particular about her job. takes into consideration every waiter's strengths + weaknesses and seats people accordingly. (except for myung-gi; i like to think she’d enjoy fucking with him). a bit more apologetic than other hosts, will seem genuinely upset if someone's got a long time to kill before they get a table.

lee myung-gi (player 333)

myung-gi is a waiter. jun-hee seats all the teenagers having nights out in his section because she thinks it’s funny. myung-gi does not think it’s funny. he thinks they’re too loud and too much and does his job as fast as he can while remaining polite to get away from them. has been reprimanded by jun-ho for checking crypto on his phone while on the job. he tries to take his breaks with jun-hee but she prefers taking them alone, much to his dismay.

nam-gyu (player 124)

nam-gyu is a dishwasher. once he and su-bong were scheduled to work the same shift and the ensuing chaos was so bad that they were never allowed to work on the same shifts ever again. since then nam-gyu is pretty quiet while working and usually has his headphones in.

park gyeong-seok (player 246)

gyeong-seok is a host. he also rakes in a ton of great reviews because he’s handsome and approachable. sometimes has nayeon with him and people loveee her. he never goes on breaks without hyun-ju or no-eul. is very meticulous with his work, never seats anyone with a waiter who wouldn’t be the best to serve them. #everyonelovesgyeongseok

park jung-bae (player 390)

jung-bae is the head chef. he runs a tight ship so orders are almost always perfect. once he had a chef under him that was so bad at his job (gyeong-su.) that he complained and complained to gi-hun until he got fed up and fired the poor guy.

(bonus: su-bong was not very happy with this and didn’t come into work for a couple days to “support his boy gyeong-su”).

park min-su (player 125)

min-su is a waiter and the newest staff member. despite being new he almost never messes up because he took training under jun-ho very seriously. he takes his breaks with se-mi and they run errands for each other/cover each other’s shifts. although he covers more for se-mi than she does for him; he rarely ever misses work.

park yong-sik (player 007)

yong-sik is a cook but sometimes does delivery driving too when sae-byeok can’t. really locks in when his mom is coming into the restaurant although he does his job well every other day of the week. as a delivery driver, he is definitely more approachable and chatty compared to sae-byeok, but he doesn’t love delivery driving because he prefers to be in the kitchen where he doesn’t have to interact with as many people.

salesman (ddjaki man, gong yoo)

the salesman always comes in at the same time, same day without fail. he orders one thing and one thing only and it’s usually black coffee or alcohol. never gets actual food. none of the waitstaff likes to deal with him because he’s almost too quiet. it’s unsettling.

seong gi-hun (player 456)

gi-hun is a manager. he’s mostly in charge of hiring, firing and dealing with customer complaints. he’s kind but gets exasperated pretty quick although he tries his best to hide it. out of the two managers he’s seen around more than sang-woo. never misses work but is interestingly not seen as much when in-ho swings by.

[midnight--sadness]

squid game characters' s3 fate

90% they'll die:

daeho - unfortunately, i think he will die, he has tragedy written all over him, especially since he probably will believe he "failed" his team for not delivering the magazines to them and blaming himself for jungbae's death.

minsu - will probably die defending someone, to parallel how he didn't defend semi.

namgyu - i dont think i need to explain.

myunggi - either he or junhee will live; he is much more likely than her to die tho.

yongsik - either he or geumja will live; after the mingle game, i think he will sacrifice himself for his mama.

gyeongseok - if he's not dead already. if he's still alive, i think they will have him bond with noeul and hyunju, maybe hinting at a romance with hyunju before he dies and noeul will promise to take care of nayeon.

most of junho's team, including wooseok and captain park and kim (the leader of the mercenaries).

not sure:

junhee - either her or myunggi will live; i was sure it was her but then seonnyeo (the shaman lady) freaked me out during the mingle game and made me wonder if she'll die. her baby def won't die tho.

geumja - either her or yongsik will live; since she said that she wouldnt have a life if he died, i'm betting she lives just to make everyone suffer more.

inho - i think he'll sacrifice himself to end the games and kind of earn gihun's forgiveness. if he dies, it will be in gihun's arms tho.

junho - he's the character im most divided over. he will def forgive inho for shooting him and such, and inho will show him how he loves him, perhaps saving him from death, or junho will die protecting inho and dying in his older brother's arms (a nice callback to sangwoo and gihun in s1).

90% they'll live:

gihun - he's gonna suffer more than jesus, but he won't die (he'll just wish he had); also, i need him to reunite with gayeong. he'll probably end up taking care of junhee's baby if she and her terrible ex both die-

noeul - i really want her to get her baby back but i wonder if it's even possible at this point; maybe she will end up taking care of nayeon when gyeongseok dies.

hyunju - i really dont believe she will die, i think we will see her move to thailand to fully begin her life.

Squid game season 2 characters ranked by whether I think they'll survive season 3:

(in order of most to least likely)

My girl Jun-hee is the only one I'm reasonably sure is surviving this thing. She's gotten this far in late stage pregnancy, so she won't die easily, and she's got so many peope in her corner (possibly including Mr Frontman himself, though it's hard to be certain).

(am I delusional? maybe. Maybe.)

My reasoning is this: Her co-character (Young-mi) is dead already, so Hyun-ju, as the only remaining member of the pair, has a higher chance of surviving. Also, she's the coolest person in the cast, and that power will shield her from death. Because I say so.

HES NOT DEAD. HES NOT DEAD. WE ONLY SAW HIM GET SHOT, HE COULD SURVIVE THAT!!

Ahem. Anyway, triangle 11 is gonna get him through this. Trust me.

These two are together because the most likely scenario is that one of them survives and the other dies. Which one is which? Honestly not sure. You could argue Yong-sik because thematically, he could make amends for putting her in this position in the first place, and you could argue Geum-ja because she's said she doesn't want to live without him and the potential foreshadowing during mingle. Could go either way.

Full disclosure, I forgot about her when making this. Middle of the list she goes. She's not really important enough to survive, but the potential bitterness of her surviving, when other characters that aren't assholes don't, feels very squid game. So.

Oh Min-su. He could easily die. Maybe saving someone, to thematically "make up" for Se-mi, or maybe for another reason, but I don't think he's likely to survive. But, ultimately, I can imagine it happening, unlike anyone lower on this list.

Losing Thanos means that Nam-gyu is now the default asshole within the players (apart from player 100, I guess), so he's probably gonna die. The only way I see that not happening is if he joins the resistance because he's mad about Thanos's death, or something. But yeah. That's not likely.

This hurts. I want Dae-ho to survive so badly. But if I'm really honest with myself, it's not gonna happen. He's got so many death flags. He didn't bring the magazines back, so he's already gonna be guilty about that, and he doesn't even know Jung-bae is dead yet. That screams redemptive sacrifice. I just- This one kills me.

This man is dying for Jun-hee.

A love letter to late 00s/early10s kdramas? More likely than you may think

I have watched the first two eps (30m each) of the just premiered My Military Valentine with Nam Guyri and Kim Min Seok and I have discovered the most glorious time machine to 2008-2012.

A disclaimer - if you came to kdramas relatively recently, this really isn't a drama for you. But for those of us who used to watch and adore kdramas of mid-to-late 00s/very early 10s (I got into kdramas around 06), this is a very deliberate and knowing tribute and is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia for back then dramas which it does brilliantly.

I feel as if I somehow time traveled to 15 years back or perhaps stumbled on a kdrama from that period I have not seen yet. It is such a delicious homage.

The premise is pretty straightforward - in an AU where South Korea and North Korea are close to reunification, a popular South Korean superstar and a North Korean commando cross paths and then he ends up having to serve in her unit. She's a consummate military officer, he's boyish and even immature but genuinely good-hearted. If you are screaming into your hands "this is off-brand King2Hearts with Spy MyungWol thrown in OMGGGGGGGG!" then you are the target audience.

EVERYTHING about this drama is old-school, deliberately so. The plot (even the idea of reunion was much more popular in dramas back then than it is now when I think it's much more fraught and distant), the setting (it is not set in 2024 but something like 2010), the characters (the ML is the immature protag romcoms in 00s used to love, FL is a good-hearted stern naive NK lady), the look (the way it's filmed is 100% from back then, with news montages, ML's frosted hair, the side part of the NK agent dude, the shots down from buildings, FL's whole vibe and look, the camera work, the lack of certain filters. Even the fact that neither of protags looks super polished and ML has a certain soft-faced and not starving look is reminiscent of early 00s dramas.)

Shot from the drama:

For comparison, here is Eric Mun in 2011 Spy Myung Wol as a top star in a drama about a North Korean Agent x SK celeb:

And with NK agent OTP:

Here is the OTP of 2012 King 2 Hearts, about a South Korean prince and NK commando:

Lee Byung Hun and his bleach blond hair in Beautiful Days from 2003:

Kim Rae Won and his soft face and light hair in Say You Love Me (2004):

And now, look at this song number from My Military Valentine. If it doesn't scream "Obama just got elected for his first term," I don't know what to tell you:

And the kiss as means of air transfer, old school style JUST I CAN'TTTTT:

DRAMA REVIEW | Light Shop (2024)

I don’t use the word “masterpiece” easily because it’s no easy to create a film or tv show that’s literally perfect but that’s the only way to describe Disney+ kdrama Light Shop.

Actor turned director Kim Hee Won makes a perfect directorial debut with this very human and heartfelt Korean gothic ghost love story.

Light Shop is a masterfully crafted production, every detail full of significance and important to understand the story as it progresses. No character is unimportant, all playing a key role in the lives of each other; and the performances of each actor nuance. Never giving away too much but managing to connect with the audience at the same time.

The technical aspects, such as cinematography, lighting and special effects, are simply some of the best you will ever find in a Korean drama.

This is the kind of kdrama you want to watch without knowing anything beforehand, but you should know the first four episodes are key for the world building and then, it twist and turns in order to take you on one of the most beautifully made rides.

Perfect.

What are you doing now? He must be totally stressed out.

Misaeng, episode 12 (2014)

[tarzinnia]

The fight for justice starts with a little invitation...

...because evil is prevalent and vehement.

Here's a reminder that Season 2 of The Fiery Priest is scheduled to air on Friday, November 8, 2024 in South Korea. The Fiery Priest is the second of Park Jae-Beom's "Justice Trilogy" as it's frequently called (Chief Kim aka Good Manager ; The Fiery Priest; Vincenzo in order of release) and I would love an invitation into screenwriter Park's brain because his creations are so very very good.

On this blog, I frequently talk about movies but dramas, specifically "kdramas," are another delight and from script to director(s) to casting to cinematography and soundtrack, this trilogy holds a special place for me. I think I could write a novel on the themes and scenes in Vincenzo alone. When not only the titular character but the entire cast keeps you watching, you know it's the good stuff. So happy all three shows were twenty episodes and didn't follow the more current trend of shortening the season. The slow character development enabled the viewer to discover individual stories without muddying up the plot too much.

I'm looking forward to watching as soon as Season 2 of The Fiery Priest is available for me to view, and if you haven't seen any of the above shows, I recommend them!

*Pictured above: Kim Nam-Gil as Father Kim (top) and Song Joong-Ki as Vincenzo. Two unconventional "heroes" fighting the good fight.
