Squid Game Season 2

Netflix's k-drama Squid Game Season 2 was excellent. It went a lot further in its denunciation of late-stage capitalism.

I had barely started learning Korean when I watched S1, so I understood a lot more this time, but I still need to practise my listening skills for when people speak fast.

There was a fun candidate nicknamed Thanos, with purple-dyed hair, and multi-colour nail polish to represent the Infinity Stones. The irony is that Squid Game has a much higher death rate than Thanos.

This season introduces a semi-major trans female character.

Ah, without watching the second season I know exactly where Thanos is. XD
It's TOP from Big Bang. XD
