Kkanbu (S01E06)

Emotional bomb. Complex, moving, imaginative. The peak of the entire series, and I can’t imagine how it can be surpassed. Even if there were a number of reasons not to watch Squid Game, this episode makes it worth it. (2022.01.28)

Just watched the sixth episode, and wow, did it play with my emotions. Surprisingly, I found myself not minding it so much. Odd, right? This time around, all the bloodshed and drama seemed to take a backseat, focusing on something entirely different. The creators really nailed it, highlighting this shift brilliantly. So, a five-star rating from me, even though I'm still seeing through tears :-) Back in the day, when I was a little kid (before video games ruled the world), losing a marble in a game was a personal tragedy. I can't even decide which threat would have stressed me out more: losing a marble and being ridiculed, or getting a bullet to the head? Who knows? Kids have a different way of thinking. / Lesson learned: If you're a jerk, own it; even if you change, no one will buy it. (2022.02.02)
