There Are Many Small Details About The Series That Have Such Significance, The Example I Want To Focus

There are many small details about the series that have such significance, the example I want to focus on is that Gi-Hun didn't know that Sang-Woo was suicidal.

It's interesting to think how different his approach would be if he had known; although he would still be angry at him for his way to achieve things, he wouldn't see him as a money-hungry individual, but rather a desperate one who would do anything to make amends to his mistakes, even taking his own life. Very different from Gi-Hun, who would give up his comfort and ability to fix his own mistakes as long as their loved ones lived.

Certainly, the thought of Sang-Woo committing suicide didn't go thru his head, especially when he DID try to reach his hand. Just like him, he wanted to go home, but for him, for his situation, it wasn't a possibility.

I think that was the point that truly traumatized Gi-Hun. He didn't know anyone there really, their situation nor their values, just his childhood best friend. Someone he grew up with and considered family.

He saw someone he admire become a stranger, someone to fear and hate. But he knew that wasn't him. And when he saw how the boy that used to play with him sacrificed himself to ensure Gi-Hun financial stability, only asking for his mom wellbeing in exchange, that's when it sealed the realization he had about the games; how it preyed for people's desperation, they were just another victim out of the 456 players.

gihun and hyunju are so so similar it makes my heart hurt in the best way possible.

they are both protective, fierce, brave, and compassionate, kind, caring, and also insecure, impulsive, brash.

they are natural born leaders and still have enough grace to allow those who know best to take the reigns when it is necessary.

they both ended up forming a parent-child relationship with an older person they met at the games (ilnam and geumja).

and the death of their younger female companion (saebyeok and youngmi) caused them to become more hardened and drove them into seeking revenge.

Sangihun is so special to me because the only life Sangwoo valued other than his own was Gihun’s and while that’s technically morally wrong, he’s also not wrong for having his priorities in a death game.

I just find it so endearing how he was willing to do anything it took to get out of there with Gihun, even if it meant getting his hands bloody. He was already feeling guilt from breaking the law and being on the run from the police, he wasnt sadistic, he was desperate. If he didnt feel like he had to betray and kill other people, he most likely wouldnt have.

But it was all for him. For Gihun.

But Cam, he fought Gihun in the last game.

Yes. That’s true, and I think its because he felt Gihun deserved to let his feelings of resentment out on him. Sangwoo knew he looked like the bad guy to Gihun at that point, so he wanted Gihun to let all his aggression out. He also knew that if he didnt play or fight Gihun, the guards would kill them both. And Sangwoo didn’t want that.

Sangwoo knew he did morally wrong things, and that he deserved anything Gihun could throw at him. After all, some of those people were Gihun’s friends. He felt so much guilt and shame up to this point that he was fine with whatever punches Gihun could throw.

It wasn’t a fight against Gihun. It was a fight for Gihun.

When Sangwoo lied there on the ground, sopping wet and tired from the fight, he was already thinking about all the ways he had made Gihun upset and all the sins he had committed. There was no way he could’ve lived with himself knowing he hurt his first love to this degree, even if his intentions were to save them both.

Anyway, sangihun rant of the day. Im SICK of these two

You ever think about how Sangwoo looked so irritated when Gihun invited Ilnam to join their group? Yes it was probably because his age made him a liability but Gihun also didn’t offer much to the table but that didn’t matter to Sangwoo. He still wanted to play the games with him. And when he chose to stay silent about the dalgona, it was probably in hopes of getting rid of Ilnam, and you can see the instant regret in Sangwoo’s eyes when Gihun takes the umbrella instead.

Do you ever think that maybe there was a small part of Sangwoo that partnered up with Ali in marbles not just because he thought he would make a better partner but also because he wanted to spite Gihun for allowing someone to intrude in between them?
