This is the end to season 2. It’s basically part 1 and part 2. Does it really matter what number the season is labeled with when it tells a continuous story, and only a few months apart? Be thankful they didn’t make us wait years.

Naturally. He’s also not African-American either so they need to get that right too. The descriptions don’t fit. All the characters that have very specific descriptions should be cast appropriately, regardless of which race/ethnicity best fits.

This feels like a serious oversimplification of the show’s message and Gi-hun’s character… it’s easy to place all the blame on the Front Man and the others running the Squid Game, but saying that Gi-hun doesn’t have blood on his hands because he had the “best intentions” is missing the point entirely. It’s ridiculous to say that sacrifice is necessary to stop the games but he shouldn’t be held responsible for making that choice. That’s not how morality works…. plus it’s not even fully about saving more people in the future. He’s also choosing his personal revenge over saving lives in that moment, and that goes against everything he’s stood for up to this point. Gi-hun is not entirely heroic, just as the Front Man is not entirely villainous… both are complex and human nature can’t be put in such neat little boxes.

Why does everyone complain so much about the finale? Of course it ended on a cliffhanger! All seasons that aren’t the final ones do! It’s how they get people to watch the next one. Plus it was clear that this was only half the story and that season 3 is basically a part 2 of this one. I knew it from the moment I saw how many episodes there were and the first game didn’t start until episode 3. They were trying to give us drama outside of the games, instead of repeating the same formula again. The whole revolt was very reckless, but that’s not out of character for a compulsive gambler like Gi-hun. It was a plan born of desperation and they didn’t have enough information or time to make a more thorough one. Lives were always going to be at risk trying to escape, but the others volunteered. The only time Gi-hun was somewhat out of character was when he was willing to sacrifice players on the X side as cover for their revolt. But that was the whole point of this season. Gi-hun is slipping and In-ho is actively encouraging that break down of his morality to prove his point.

I feel like if Gi-hun was Il-Nam’s son, and was old enough to have had a preference for chocolate milk over plain milk, and got spanked as a child for being “difficult”, and Il-Nam having fond memories of raising him, I feel Gi-hun would have some memory of his father, but perhaps not. As far as the house thing goes as the other comment states, living in the same area once and their houses looking similar does not prove a relationship.

I wouldn’t so readily discount In-ho being his son either. He and Jun-ho are paternal half-brothers and are 16 years apart. It’s quite possible that he raised In-ho with his first wife for a while, then at some point married Jun-ho’s mother and abandoned them either before he was born or soon after. So he didn’t consider Jun-ho his son, hence saying he only had one. Heck he may not have even known his wife was pregnant with him. We don’t know much of the timeline before season 1. Also it’s explicitly wrong that In-ho wasn’t there when Il-nam died. He wasn’t in the exact moment, because Gi-hun was, but he showed up immediately after and shut his eyes. That’s a pretty intimate act. Besides, who says they have to be close in any way to be related? It could, and likely would be, a very strained relationship, but In-ho may be loyal to him regardless. Maybe they were close once and that’s why Il-nam has those fond memories. It’d also lend weight to how In-ho became the Front Man. Because it’s not like there weren’t other game winners to choose from.

There are a few things (mainly their last names) that don’t add up in both cases, but that could be explained by Il-nam having used a fake name during his relationship(s).
