Agree... Saw that one coming. The question is, why did the captain save him, I'm guessing frontman told him he was his brother and to keep him aliv
I figured he was bought and paid for after he saved him but I like your theories better

it's getting harder for me to understand how 455 people disappear every year (or however frequent) at the same exact time and it's not a huge issue for police/the country.
like maybe some of them are homeless/family-less, but we know that many of them are not. shite, they have a fricking famous rapper in this one that has now just disappeared. makes no sense

there's an easy fix to this, don't worry about it haha
it's not a focus of the show.

That’s what I assumed when watching, that it was his initial reason for joining the game he participated in. It just wasn’t true anymore, basically, and he was using it to gain Gi-hub’s trust.
FWIW I liked that character (and the actor as well). My gripe earlier was just that as the viewer watching the show, we know who he is and that he will eventually turn on his group.

They established that the GPS chip was removed from Gi-Hun's hollow tooth and placed in the bait bucket that was given to the unsuspecting fisherman. It stands to reason that it was detected as soon as Gi-Hun was knocked out in the limo and sent in a separate direction as a decoy.
Good point, I forgot about that. But I still stand that as a whole, the detective dude got very little (if anything) accomplished this season at all. Outside of getting one of his crew killed and another injured.

Biggest plothole of the show IMO. And it has bugged me since day one. I just accept that Korea is a weird place and nobody really cares.

Correct. The best lie is 99% truth.

except it is? one of the main plot points is a police officer trying to find the games and investigate them further and no one in the police force believes him or cares about it.

you kinda contradicted yourself there. the police force doesn't believe him and don't seem to even acknowledge that the number he is claiming take part in the games matches a number of people that go missing at the same time every year.

I'm not sure of the right word, but just weird shite like the way Thanos was acting and dancing all around,
He was a junkie so he was on something every single game. Seemed like an ecstasy-type drug. But acted like a meth head. I agree he wasn't a great "villain", I didn't dislike him nearly as much as the chubby guy who was the villain-type character in S1. I was surprised they killed him off the way they did though. That was a satisfying death.
quote:
Like the 6-legged race where they had to play the games. You have five minutes to complete a lap and all of the games and cross the finish line. Yet these people are cheering for like 5-10 seconds after beating one of the games. It just felt......stupid I guess. Seconds are precious yet they are skipping through things like there aren't serious consequences at stake.
Yea that was annoying. Or stopping at the beginning of every person's turn and doing a pep talk. Or if they missed a toss they all just moaned and cried instead of immediately just going after it to try again. The trans making everyone not look so they don't see his junk bouncing
Definitely the worsr game they played. Kind of cool in theory, but was a bit cheesy. quote:
Same thing with In-ho (Front Man) getting into the game. We know who he is so we know that everything he's telling Gi-hun is bullshite and he doesn't really want to get out of the game. So any drama tied to that feels fake because we know that ultimately he is going to frick them over for the good of the game.
Feel like that was really just making Gi-hun's drama more interesting. You knew he was the bad guy but were constantly wondering if GH was going to figure it out.
quote:
But surely they would not have killed him had he lost one of the games, right? Like if they would've lost the 6-legged race game, I assume they wouldn't have killed him in front of everyone.
With that game they were the last to go so the guards could have just shot everyone else on the team and not him and nobody would have known. Also with the random number/run to a room game I'm pretty sure he would have been killed because I took it as him not really finding any other partners but just went in one and came out pretending he did. They came out like "omg I thought you were dead" and he just had a casual "I got lucky and found two people" but never said who the were.
quote:
And how incompetent can the police detective dude and his crew be? You have a literal GPS showing you where Gi-hun is and which island he is on, yet you can't figure it out for some reason? The captain's turn was not well done at all. He went from dopey boat captain to killer double agent in like five seconds. lol: It also seems like one of the mercenary dudes could also be in on it too.
They removed his tooth GPS. GH checked it at one point and it was gone and also it led the police to the wrong location. You must have missed that part. But I did think it odd that they took that out but let the mom have a hair pin knife and one of the other girls to have a different knife and others to have necklaces and piercings
As a mommas boy who's mom in no longer around, I did enjoy the mom/son duo. I saw a little bit of my mom in her in a way so their storyline was actually a little sad to me at times.

Still think it was dumb for them to do a Season 2 when Season 1 was damn near perfect. Wish they had just left it alone and just given him a happy ending to see his daughter after everything he went through
I would have been ok with it being a 1-season show. But I don't think that was ever the plan. There were multiple plot points left opened.

Generally, I agree. And even that loan shark guy kind of believed the main character's story because all of the people that owed him money disappeared. But to play devil's advocate
1) Are we sure the game is played every year? I assumed the game during S2 took place in 2024 right? Meaning the first game we saw happened a couple of years ago (when S1 was released). I think that's right because I'm pretty sure the main character said he'd been looking for the recruiter for 2 years. Did I miss anything where it was officially confirmed that it happens every year? Hell, even if they normally took place every year but didn't this time around - that time lapse could be justified because the old man died and some of the main benefactors were killed in S1.
2) We've only seen people recruited from Seoul. But the Seoul metro area accounts for ~50% of Korea's population (which is wild) so maybe finding a few hundred missing people, most of whom aren't noteworthy to anyone besides their immediate family, might not attract notice. Plus, in theory they could always recruit players from outside of Seoul, making it more difficult to track.
I understand that is way too much thought. As one poster said, the real answer is probably "don't worry about it" or "don't think about it too much" but that's how I'd justify it in canon if I had to.

1) most are lower class of society, so most wouldn’t notice they were missing. Probably estranged from family
2) Isn’t it based in Seoul? 400 people out of 9m isn’t a dent

Season 2 '001' was "just" The Frontman from seasons 1/2.
Don't forget - Jun-Ho (cop who infiltrated the Island on S1) discovered that his brother (Front Man) won his season, 5 years prior.
What was the motive for Jun Ho to infiltrate the island is season 1? I don't recall.

Only a few days away, not that wild.
Edit. I'm a dummy. Forgot how many of them die off.

His brother disappeared while his wife was critically ill.

On Netflix's Tadum blog, they interview the actor who plays Front Man and they confirm that Gi-hun still does not know that 001 is Front Man.

I don’t see how any of their language makes any sense. Charlie Brown’s teacher sounds more coherent.

Biggest issue with the season is that Gi hun wouldn’t be suspicious of 001 after who 001 turned out to be in the previous games. He goes back and another 001 takes a big interest in him and even knows stuff about him. Yet Gi hun is none the wiser. I know Gi hun is portrayed as dopey and that’s why he sucks at money but come on.
It’s so bad I feel like they’re going to retcon it. They take Gi hun into the control room and after the big reveal Gi hun says “I knew you were involved so I used you to get into the control room.” *Front man shoots Gi hun, screen goes black*

What did the 001 know about him? I remember he slipped up and said his name, then quickly recovered and said he heard the other guy say it. Besides that I can’t think of anything else suspicious.
Also the previous 001 was the creator of the game whom he watched die after the games.
Why would he instantly think the new 001 is something similar? Their numbers were never proven to be relevant.
