I really liked Episode 3 of Season 3 of Squid Game, it was super entertaining and had a lot of impact on the overall story. The tension, the pacing, the visuals,everything just hit the right notes for me. It felt like one of those episodes that sticks with you, especially with how the plot starts to shift in more intense directions.

That said, the VIPs honestly kind of ruined parts of it for me. I get that they're supposed to represent the ultra-wealthy and show how detached they are from the games, but their dialogue just feels... off. They talk like NPCs in a bad video game, super stiff, awkward, and really unnatural. It almost sounds like the lines were dubbed in after the fact, which makes their scenes feel weirdly out of place compared to the rest of the show, which is usually so grounded and well-acted.

It's frustrating because the rest of the episode is so strong, but every time the VIPs show up, it kind of kills the momentum. I feel like with better writing or delivery, they could've actually added something chilling or creepy. Instead, they just feel kind of cartoonish. Still love the episode overall, but man, those parts took me out of it a bit.
