Saram-eun...

Personally, I enjoyed the pacing and action throughout the whole season, but I didn't like the resolution at all. The last episode was good talking about technical aspects, Netflix did a nice job as always for squid game's cinematography. The main problem is the writing and how the episode leads to a very predictable and cliché ending.

We all knew what was going on with the main character and the side cast was also wasted of it's potential. 333's conclusion, The North Korean girl sub-plot etc... This is until the very end, with that scene in LA... In my opinion it was a dissapointing epilogue for such a captivating series with high entertainment and pacing. It kept me hooked before the last episodes for nothing at all.

They dragged the ending a bit to much to tie up the loose ends in the end. WAY to much time was wasted with that over 20 minutes what could have gone to explore more of the games and what happened to it when the police arrived. I do think that the last scenes in la were really good i still believe that most of the rest of the 6 months later part was a big waste of time and totally unnecessarily. Although a pretty good ending it just feels like it could have been way better so i think the episode deserves and a rating somewhere between 8-9/10 because it was not a perfect ending in my opinion. --

I understand why people are rating this 1 star, because from a series like Squid Game, people were expecting a nice, heart-warming, happy ending where the protagonist survives and ends this violent and brutal game. But people forget, the world is not nice, is not ideal, is not peaceful, but is brutal, savage and nice people do not necessarily end up being happy. The reality of this world is shown in the series' finale and sadly not a lot of people understand it, or I should say, do not WANT to understand it. People choose to close their eyes so that they can keep thinking that good things happen with good people, and when it isn't shown in the end, they end up disappointed. The truth is, the world is feral, and will always be, reality is bitter, and people do not like bitterness.

Season 2, Part 1 and 2, feel rushed and appear to have been adapted for the US market. This is a waste of what was a promising story. The ending was terrible in every conceivable way. I'm so disappointed that this could have ended so poorly. Characters were stripped of their complexity, and the dialogue felt unnatural. The suspense was gone, replaced by lazy writing and predictable twists. It felt like fan service for a completely different audience. What once had depth and meaning has now turned into a shallow imitation. A total betrayal of what made Season 1 so impactful. Let's continue milking the cow!

I don't think there is much point in reiterating what others have written before me as I can largely confirm the negative points. The VIPs are cartoon villains - again - cringeworthy at best. The absence of logic and convoluted mess makes this the worst ending possible to one of the best series in the recent years. At this point it feels like a cash grab, an excuse to vindicate a likely American-based spin-off. No essential questions were answered. Multiple interesting storylines devolved into nothingness. This season felt like it's building up to something big, yet with every new episode it felt more and more like an elaborate running gag.
