Squid Game Season 3 Review
🦑 Squid Game Season 3 Review
"A Ray of Light at the End of a Very Dark Tunnel..."
Released at 12 PM sharp, I started watching Squid Game Season 3 at 1 PM - and in just 6 hours, I was completely consumed. I didn't even realize how time flew by.
This series is easily among my Top 3 all-time favorites. From Season 1 to now, Squid Game just keeps getting better.
Season 3 dives straight into despair, disillusionment, and the darkest sides of human nature - but still, it leaves a small glimmer of hope burning at the end.
Highlights of this season:
Acting: Lee Jung-jae proves once again why he is the backbone of this series. His performance, especially in Episode 5, is beyond acting - it's raw emotion.
Narrative Structure: Director Hwang Dong-hyuk makes a brilliant decision by pulling Gi-hun into the background during the early episodes, allowing us to deeply connect with the supporting cast and their emotional arcs.
Human Connections: Themes like parental responsibility, emotional sacrifice, and the bond between family members are portrayed beautifully and hit home hard.
Some scenes are as heartbreaking as the infamous Marble Game from Season 1. But amidst all the darkness, there are moments where you genuinely feel - "Yes, there's still humanity left in this world."
Where it slightly falls short:
The subplots involving Hwang Jun-ho and Kang No-eul don't contribute much to the main narrative and tend to slow the pace.
The new VIP characters feel repetitive and offer little fresh perspective.
Final Verdict: If you love dark, emotionally rich thrillers, Squid Game Season 3 is a must-watch.
It's not just about survival games - it's a story about identity, resistance, loss, and the will to live with meaning.
Rating: 5/5 Must Watch! Especially for Squid Game fans.
