Yeah - I'm not surprised that the South Korean view of capitalism is colored by its experience with the post-Korean War dictatorships and the Asian Financial Crisis.

Brick Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 That was a really good show. A lot of cool things I didn't notice at first that I read later like Spoiler How when the woman sacrifices herself to kill the gangster, she goes so by leaning back which is a callback to tug of war when she said she felt so strong when she leaned back, and makes sense since she wouldn't have been able to overpower him had she tried pushing him normally; the circle, triangle, and square being everywhere; all the contestants picked the blue card, leading to the theory that anyone who picked the red card might have been hired as the staff; the hints to the old man's true identity, and how he might have planned to not get picked for marbles so he could have easily escaped to host the VIPs and everyone else would have thought he got killed, but he wasn't expecting Gi-hun's kindness.

I guess it all makes sense, I just wish there was more to it. In the end the character is stuck in their endless loop of poverty even though they have money. I get that's part of the message but it all seems so monotonous and pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The ending is a bit weak, but when the villain is capitalism, I don’t know how you have a satisfying ending without going full Fight Club which wouldn’t have made a ton of sense. I suppose they could get there with a second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yeah, it's almost like being treated like the greatest person to ever exist by literally everyone around you since you were like 14 years old (and being a multi-multi multi millionaire from the age of 18) gives someone a skewed way of thinking about the world.
