Since I'm a fan of survival series, I watched the first season.

Although I didn't like it because it didn't bring anything innovative other than children's games, I didn't think the first season was so bad. But this second season... ugh, there's nothing I can rescue by being honest.

Firstly the protagonist had already played this game before he should have learned that no one can be trusted in this game. His own best friend betrayed him and yet he was stupid enough to fall into the 001 player trap again? There were strange things about him, he must have caught the signs. But it was too stupid and he fell again. At the beginning of the first season, it seemed to me that he was a character with too much innocence to think that people in a game like this have no limits when it comes to greed and morality, but when he saw the first game past, he must have been more intelligent and cautious. He changed my mind about his character and I think he's just a stupid person who shouldn't have come back in if he wasn't prepared for this.

There is also no surprise factor as happened with the old man in the first season. We already knew that player 001, who is part of who runs the game, was not a surprise factor. We knew he would come in to play, even so he was not as clever as the old man, I don't even understand how anyone suspected him since he had attitudes that anyone would realize he was an untrustworthy person.

The games were almost the same so he didn't bring anything new in this installment either.

Speaking of players in general, I thought that by having more heartbreaking stories they could bring something new. However, they were too weak compared to the players of the first season.

The soundtrack that wanted to introduce forced humor seemed irritating to me. It seemed like he was watching a poorly done Slam Dunk game.

TOP's character was completely unnecessary, it wasn't funny or scary enough. I know they wanted to parody his personal controversies but it didn't work for me at all, I never laughed at his stupid jokes.

The old woman who had survived the Second World War had potential because of her past. But in the end she was a very cowardly woman. She clearly had good intentions, but a character of her caliber must have been more fearless and cunning.

The North Korean girl was completely missing, I didn't really understand her intentions or what she intended either. I think they wanted to add a North Korean character like the first season, but her character is too weak compared to the North Korean girl from the first season. She lacked a lot of the cunning of the girl from the first season.

I can continue talking about the characters but they were all so weak and forgettable that I will honestly save myself from talking about them because they didn't bring anything new.

The policeman? Meh, it completely disappeared compared to the first season.

Honestly, there is nothing redeemable, not the soundtrack, not the suspense, not a surprise factor and not the performances, which surprised me a lot. Because while the first season didn't catch me enough, the quality of acting was top-notch.

Everything here is wrong. When you do a second part you must keep in mind that it must be better than the first, not worse.

But I think the producers didn't even put in the effort. They spent more money promoting the second season than making a decent second season at least.

Honestly, since the protagonist is so stupid-minded, I don't think he's going to see the third part. Since I think it's going to be even worse than it is, and that's saying a lot.

The message? There is no message. Point.

Honestly, it bored me so much and everything seemed so stupid to me that I didn't feel the need to want to see the third season and how all this will end.

I think the squid game only had to have a single season because there wasn't much else to indigest in the story but Netflix was greedy and that greed made them run everything wrong.
