#my mom has the hottest burning takes ever i stfg

[izzyfishie]

i watched both seasons of squid game with my mom! this is what she had to say

(for the record, i watch it by myself in korean because i heavily prefer it, but with my mom we watch the english dub — it’s easier for her to understand)

SEASON 1

like a lot of people, she disliked gi-hun at the start but ended up adoring him as the series progressed

“i hate sang-woo, i hope he dies a miserable and painful death”

not even joking when i say she told me she’d stop watching if i kept obsessing over jun-ho so much 😭 (i just got a little excited when he came on screen okayyyy)

she predicted jun-ho’s brother being the frontman VERY quickly, like episode 5 i think? she did not predict il-nam being the creator tho

she really liked sae-byeok, and HATED the thugs, she kept calling them greasy frogs and wishing death upon them

“he’s not dead” - her when jun-ho “died” (good job mom you have media literacy)

apparently her favorite s1 game was glass bridge, but she always complains about how much she hated the bridge exploding (fair)

SEASON 2

she absolutely ADORED gyeong-seok and his daughter, and had mixed feelings on no-eul

“he looks high and gay” - her @ nam-gyu

she also started fucking smiling when thanos died?? like ok mom damn ig 😭

“i don’t like him. i don’t like him at all” her @ in-ho

“you know nam-gyu? i think he’s gonna kill himself” - “yeah. he should.” - “oh.”

with hyun-ju my mom kinda started off similarly to geum-ja — misgendering and being a bit rude to her, but later ended up respecting her and being nice

she exclusively referred to min-su as “derek” for some reason?? 💀

“BAD BOY” - her @ in-ho

her favorite game from season 2 was the six-legged pentathlon (same tbh)

tbh watching with her went a lot better than expected- she hated it at first (violence) but over time she got used to it and her backhanded comments became funny, she said she really liked it despite the violence and although it isn’t something she’d seek out independently, she enjoyed it

and now we wait for season 3! i’m watching it first with my watch buddy when it comes out (we have plans already 😎🫰) but i’m going to rewatch it with my mother
