So Seong Gi-hun...

you win

ALL those people died.

You promised to take care of her brother and your friends mother

and you waited a YEAR?

for WHAT?

You left that boy in an orphanage for a year EXTRA?

That woman LOST her shop?

If you felt so guilty why didn't use the money to help the people you KNEW???

The BEST revenge would be to make sure yo set up those people for life.


Not sure if this is a spoiler too...

As I saw it as this guy kept screwing his daughter over time and time again. Even though I get the presumed cause of him going to the games in the end but yet again he is leaving his daughter hanging and may not survive. He was irresponsible in the beginning at 47 years old with child you still that much of fuck up. Lack luster on your word, making her promises he doesn't keep. During that year I get he may have been grieving yet when you have child at some point quicker then a year you have to try your best to manage and balance your grief and still show up for your kid(s). Then when you settle yourself, gave money away and situated to do right by your child. You skip out on her. However big his cause is his daughter stayed getting the short end of the stick.

There's two different opinions on how translations should be. The most popular, which is what Netflix did is that you minimize the cultural references and try to adapt them over to the targeted audience. Optional (which is also Netflix's choice) is to also attempt to sync the translation to the actor's mouths.

The less popular opinion is that they should be exact and it's on the viewer to do the research into what they don't understand, or if it's impossible because it's critical to the plot it's meaning is simplified or sited somewhere to explain what's going on. Truthfully there's a little of that too, they completely ignored the phrase "Southern Man, Northern Woman" other than translating the sign of the building Kang Sae-byeok was in at the time.

20 years ago it was a huge and decisive topic among the fansub community. I'm just finding it quite amusing how it's currently mainstream.

Great breakdown.... It has me curious I've seen a lot of shows on Netflix which the voice translation and the sub title translation are very different. So I wonder what methods are used for each. Has that part came up in any of these discussions on this?

Seong Gi-hun is the WORST

I KNOW DUDES LIKE HIM FATHERS LIKE HIM BROTHERS SONS HUSBANDS

He treated STRANGERS BETTER than his own damn flesh and blood.

He risked EVERYTHING for strangers

but was willing to risk NOTHING for his family

He is in the game not on some moral debt dueled suicide mission

He is a degenerate gambler with a martyr complex and victim complex

*ahem*

I'm good now just had to get that out there

You guys are soo cold hearted, I was taking it as he was going

through mental illness, aka depression, feeling helpless,

watching another man take care of his daughter..

then when he saw an opportunity to make enough money

to solve his problems... he dove into that shit..

fucking him up even more, and he realized it wasnt about

the money, it was about him, he KNEW he had to change

and didnt know how to do it, he figured by getting a new

hairstyle he would be a new person, hence the dyed hair...

dude is depressed and sometimes its a series of circumstances

that lead one into the position he is in...

when he dyed his hair, thats when I realized, he was trying to change

but didnt know how?

Fam. The thought of a stranger being a better father than you could ever be, has to take its toll on your psyche. Even if you're broke, you can still do something for your kid. Playing ball, go fishing, hiking, you gotta do something.

Hey DONT put this all on the fuckin parasites and oligarchs...

WE could stop this overnight..

Just like in the movie...

They all couldve agreed to stop that shit and say,

lets all help each other, we dont need that money....

but the greed got to them...

thats just like us in society,

we could topple those fuckin souless parasites

way before their due date, which is pretty much here,

they just could afford to hide behind plandemics

but I digress...

we could stop this few fuckin the masses

NOW if we lost the mindfuck of race and division,

and come together, and everybody just works

for the good of all,

have robots do all the shit we aint tryin to do, and we do

the human shit to bring us together,

stop seeing complexion as a wall,

that divides us in favor of the parasitic

oligarchs.

start seeing each other as

humans and not each others enemy..

and together stomp out the parasites

and psychopaths
