What a letdown. After a successful Season 1, this was a mess with it's unintelligent, run of the mill, with no concrete story line and just flying by the seat of their pants. My biggest problem was our hero Seong Gi Hun, who realized that the money he won was blood money. He wanted revenge against the rich who exploited the plight and desperation of the poor and used them as blood sport for their own amusement.

Ge Hun had tons of money at his disposal but he's dumb. Couldn't he come up with a better plan than hiring a few thugs to look for his enemy? After all, he was up against a group of very wealthy individuals with so much power and influence, who hid behind their veneer of respectability. a cruel thirst for blood lust, regarding the poor like cockroaches they can stamp on for entertainment.

If I were him, I would have hired experts to identify each and everyone involved, their family, their concubines, every little detail of their lives and then, coerce them and their loved ones into participating as contestants in the squid game. That will be the ultimate revenge.

This 2nd season gave me the impression that it came from the imagination of an amateur who just copied and pasted parts of season 1 and called it season 2.
