Squid Game: Peulonteu maen (2021)
Season 1, Episode 8
10/10
Predictably emotive

Warning: Spoilers
From her injuries and her frail look at the creative "Last supper" setting, it was pretty obvious that she was the one that was going to go: I always imagined a final showdown or stalemate between Sae-byeok and Gi-Hung but I guess we won't get that anymore. Sangwoo is probably the least deserving finalist out of the 18, because he was on the verge of killing himself before rejoining the games, plus he's been successful once, and his mind games have costed many innocent lives, but he plays the role of an internal antagonist very well.

As for the episode: it's short but interesting, my only gripe with it is the two important deaths: don't forget the police officer as well. It's high-octane despite minimal visual effects, and sets the scene for the final.
