InSquid Game, shit gets real when the bodies start dropping.
When that becomes known, a massacre begins once the lights go out.
Before player 271 dies, the line-cutting just seemed like an instance of playground bullying.
After all, intimidation is always part of gangster Deok-sus act.
In that way, Deok-su is a perfect player for the game: He adopts childish tactics.
Meanwhile, Gi-hun is still operating with compassion.
He even gives a neat line that sums up his thinking: You dont trust people because theyre trustworthy.
Its because you have nothing else to lean on.
So after holding her own for a while in the chaos, she joins Gi-huns group.
For both Gi-hun and Mi-nyeo, exchanging names means building trust.
Compassionate Gi-hun wants to build genuine trust between the members, even getting Sae-byeok to open up a bit.
Of course, it doesnt work.
(At least, I think so.
Why would he protect the doctor (111) before confirming that information?)
It especially sucks that she gave him some after his earlier crudeness.
The addition of the doctors storyline adds another layer of intrigue, plus some gnarly organ-harvesting to boot.
(Not that I enjoyed them; I cant even watch medical shows with all the surgeries.)
Why would they trade information?
The only tug-of-war games we see are those for Team Deok-su and Team Gi-hun.
He may not be the strongest or the smartest, but he keeps everyone together.
The reveal also happens outside of a game, making it more shocking.
Gi-hun does realize that somethings going on with Sang-woo, but he brushes it off pretty quickly.
He also really is sweet, explaining away the old mans forgetfulness as stress instead of dementia.
Oppa is another weird translation thats beenpointed outonTwitter.
We got a titty on a K-drama, my stars.
So yes, against a weak team, absolutely not against a strong team.
