1. The main character Song Ki-hoon's presence is too weak
The strength of character and leadership shown in seasons 1 and 2 are all but lost in this work. In particular, in the first three episodes, she acts like a bystander, and until the end, she has almost no active motivation other than the baby she needs to protect. The portrayal of emotions that should support the viewer's empathy has been significantly cut, leaving only the sense of incongruity that "the main character is there, but not there."
2. The lack of mystery surrounding the frontman and disappointment
The identity and past of the Frontman, who was considered the strongest enemy, was dealt with in a flashback, and there was no direct confrontation. The biggest plot twist throughout the series was left unresolved, and many fans were not convinced that the villain escaped. Even the "human actions" at the end were abrupt, and the lack of depth was conspicuous.
3. Juno's Landing on the Island - A Meaningless Side Story
Junho, who reappears as a detective, attracts high expectations but has no real impact. The half-staged scene of him landing on the island has no impact on the ending and is merely a "prop to connect to the next film." What on earth was he pursuing, and how did he resolve the feud with his brother? Viewers are at a loss.
4. The ease of a story structure that places everything on the baby
The baby, which is supposed to symbolize "hope for the future," is nothing more than a spice to the game. After being rescued, it is simply handed over to the front man and then to Juno, and no growth or hope is depicted thereafter, greatly shaking up the axis of the story. While the very intention of sneaking a baby into a death game has been met with mixed reviews, it is a well-worn plot development.
5. Noel's "fresh start" is largely a flop
No-eul, who played an important role in the previous series, faded out after surviving the self-sacrifice and saying that she was going to see her daughter. There was no depiction of the reunion or her life afterwards, and the meaning of the character's existence was left hanging in the air. Many viewers were disappointed that one of the most likable characters in the series had become invisible.
6. The self-sacrifice ending was too predictable
Although the final confrontation between the baby and Ki-hoon makes you want to pay respects, the plot is not at all unexpected. The ending of self-sacrifice is too predictable, and the "unpredictable shock" that the previous series boasted has been completely lost.
7. The overwhelming lack of โgreat catharsisโ
Where is the cathartic thrill we felt in Season 1? There is no sign of the story wrapping up towards the end of this series, leaving viewers with only a sense of futility and emptiness. Far from a sense of closure, the bad aftertaste of being trapped in an "endless loop" was noticeable.
8. The Unrequited Final Game of the Mob Character Festival
In the final episode, the characters left on stage were not the familiar main characters, but rather a mob of characters whose faces and names were unknown. The deadly battle between the characters lacked any real passion, leaving viewers confused as to who to root for. The lackluster development ruined the climax of the story.
9. Symbolism of villain characters and lack of human drama
The previously attractive "human drama of conflict between good and evil" has disappeared. The villains in this work are "just evil" from beginning to end, and there is no conflict or drama. The VIP viewing scene was just theatrical, and the viewers did not get the exhilarating feeling of "punishment" that they had expected.
10. Bad aftertaste - The final scene with no hope
The finale of the series is a quiet despair where no one is rewarded. The villain survives, and the lack of salvation, with even the baby's future not depicted, leaves the viewer with a heavy, bitter feeling of resentment rather than a lingering impression.
summary
"Squid Game 3" failed to fully utilize the legacy of tension and human drama built up throughout the series, and many important elements were left unresolved, resulting in a series of criticisms that it was "boring" and "disappointing." However, fans have not given up hope. I sincerely hope that the next season 4 or spinoff will pick up all the remaining plot threads and bring about a great cathartic moment. I hope that next time I can say, "I'm glad I watched it!"
