Squid Game - Behind-the-Scenes On Set
/ stillwatchingnetflix
Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits - with deadly high stakes.
I would be so concentrated acting in the scene and the director screaming “bang!” randomly would scare me for real. Because it would happen when I least expect it. Lol.
I mean I think that’s the idea. If your actors aren’t expecting it and it actually is loud you can get a more genuine reaction
It’s all acting and instructions until someone gets a heart attack
AHAHHAHA YES
Yeah that was the point I think. It was really loud and the actors look like they actually jumped
@@stevengold wat
Them screaming "Bang" at the dalgona game had me on the floor. Must be so effective because the actors never know when they are going to scream, so the jumpscares are probably real ahahah.
IKR HAHAHHAHA but it makes it less traumatising when it's just a person yelling "BANG" 🤣🤣🤣

@@StealsAndEatsYourSandwich (FINALLY SOMEBODY KNOWS THE MEME)
2:08 I know that woman is just an extra but I think she just did it so well I cant help but praise it
Well actually all the extras that you see being shot in the show are actually specially trained actors for action scenes who have to know how to move their body naturally and accurately for the type of shot happening to them so they're more than just extras.
Yas, I actually got chills with her yelling
an extra wouldn't have speaking dialogue. she's considered an actress.
@@SkyZer0 ah my bad im not knowledgable with the terms used in acting (really be showing in this reply) so thanks for clarifying
@@killinglonliness88 the extras for big project like this definitely is a theater actors...
I absolutely LOVE the fact that they intentionally filmed all the episodes/games as their actual order in the show… to capture their genuine physical exhaustion and emotional fatigue as they progressed!💖
Except for the marble game episode, where they filmed the scene with Sae-byeok joining forces with the other girl, and because they had become friends in real life it was very emotional because it was also the other girl's final scene in the show.
@@AM_I_Able Hollywood stars are tares, trans and masons (the TTM virus).
Isn't that typical of filming pretty much everywhere?
@@theshermantanker7043 nope. Most movies/shows aren’t filmed in the order it is shown (the main exception being the old “live audience” sitcoms).
as someone who hates blood and had to cover her eyes during the games, this is such a relief to watch, it makes it less scary and kinda funny how the gunshots are just people yelling “bang”
gore? did you watch the correct movie?
@@ronlyon4645 show* and they probably meant blood, there was a ton of that.
@@joaquin991 bruh come on now
@@ronlyon4645 exactly this is definitely not gore lol there’s a few movies that are but not this lol
@@ronlyon4645 it isn't even a movie.
I love that now more people are realizing that Korea has incredible productions
Yeah
Korea always had incredible productions. I think Parasite is what made Americans open their eyes and realized it since it won an Academy award.
North korea is the best you should go there :)
@@ramennudes4704 :)
think you are kinda late on this...
5:41 Gi-hun and Sangwoo have suddenly switched personalities😂
Loool, that was funny and cute hahaha
I'm going to be honest, I didn't have high expectations for this series but seeing that everyone spoke wonders of it and even recommended it, I dared to watch it; And believe me it was the best thing I did, I literally watched the entire series in just ONE DAY; I am not one of those who like to watch series because they tend to bore me but it did not happen in this case, its plot, suspense totally enveloped me. I dare say that it is the best series Netflix has ever released. Let's hope the second season of "Squid Game" comes out.
Yes, I thought it was great. If they do another season, I hope we get to see more from the perspective of the workers, how they are recruited, how they are trained, and how they feel about the horrible things they have to do to the contestants who lose.
Scuid game
It's coming out in 2024!!
Why didn’t u
Still emotionally wrecked over Sae-byeok’s fate. She didn’t deserve that awful ending😢
Life is not fair. That is what Squid Game was all about. If you wanna success you have to be lucky, cheat or even eliminate others on your way to top. Honest and nice people that are not born in rich family have allmost zero chance to success. Sang Woo played the Squid Game best i would say.
@@pekkarintala3794 Life is a game. It's survival of the fittest.
@@pekkarintala3794 but the end he also dead.don't cheat others for our own success. We must care about a life more than money. Gi hun Bileave in humanity that's why he win. Sae byeok is also deserves to be winner. Sang woo deserves, all he did for his survival except killing sae byeok. He did the wrong thing in his life he dead that's karma. In my way he is not a role model character, he just represent an average human being but gi hun and sae byeok more. That why she oppose at the time gi hun try to kill him
@@Paul-sl9zm Not this time though, Gi-hun won by luck
Ali: 😐
Why was this so much fun to watch, it's not even the actual show
Ye ikr
Well it’s behind the scenes
@@payne5173 really ? If you didn't told I wouldn't notice
Because you have got connected with the characters
yep
Such a shame we wont see many of these characters again, invested so much emotion with them. I wonder where it goes from here ?
No where.
I wish we had Sae byoek and Ji yeong alive, but being realistic theyre dead
Future seasons will be prequels.
@@trevorpacelli8056 I’d actually like a sequel season, and at least one prequel season about In-ho and the 2015 games. Or even the very first Squid Game…
S Korea has no shortage of great actors. Jung Hoyeon was a total rookie!!
The woman at 2:15 made me remember how good the extras all were. Basically all of the extras had to be pretty decent actors cus they were all constantly terrified.
Of course, I can tell they're just actors acting...but I see Il-Nam and I still believe that he's actually Il-Nam in real life 😂 I can't think of him as just an actor!
yeah the old guy played his role really well
The Old Mans Real Name Is Oh-Young-Soo
@@izabellaolivares9906 Right!! Thanks :)
@@IbokRock811 Your Welcome
Exactly and that's how we know how incredible of an actor he is
The amount of brainpower, time, physical work, and emotional energy that went into creating this... I hope Netflix is paying them all what they deserve. A billion dollars earned from one show on a streaming platform... it's insane. Bravo to every single person and particularly, the director/writer who gave us this gem of a series
seriously agree, this is amazing, so much effort and time
I can attest to that actually, one of the actresses admitted to falling asleep in the middle of the shoot too. Jesus, how many hours does it take to get everything perfect just to create a show like Squid Game? :o
Facts
@@yashsoni7614 I could imagine some other people are suffering sleep problems during the shoot too. Maybe one of them especially that actress who sold the gunshot was probably taking a micro-nap or something
Actually sadly the creator of squid game wasn’t paid any additional money after Netflix originally bought it from him and after it gained its fame
The slow motion glass explosion shot was amazing. I knew that had to be pretty complex from a technical standpoint and seeing the behind the scenes confirms just how intricate that scene was
That was the scene I hated the most because it seemed so unnecessary and cruel to the players who successfully made it across.
@@Tommykey07 but they did it intentionally to injure the players more...so that they could fight each other in next game while being more injured...
Seeing the tug of war scene broke my heart bc you never see Deoksu and it's because the actor is literally throwing up between takes. Poor man, so much respect for him for doing what he did for this role.
Why? Is he sick?
@@carlangaspotter physical exertion...they were pulling against a machine on the other side. He threw up cos he didn't breathe in time and using all strength to pull...much like weight lifting. If you don't breathe properly when doing weight, you get light headed and want to throw up too.
@@sifu2u_now Huh I do weight lifting and the only time I ever felt like throwing up was the very first time I tried it. But maybe it's different for other people?
This helped me to realize that characters weren't real people, they didn't die and they had fun there. Thanks, because the movie itself hits really hard.
its not a movie -
@*kcismykid* you just did the same thing
@*kcismykid* yikes imagine deleting your comment cause you're insecure sheesh
@@lukegoh7626 what was the comment lol
@@cripriya05 doesn't matter I'm over it
You gotta hand it to the extras as well.. they also did a good job with the acting A truly spectacular series
Exactly is very spectacular whit the extra in the show
Yassssss
I know right. The guy that died on the slide and the woman after that did so well even though they were extras
Extras can make or break a show. I don't think people realize how important they are, because a bad extra can really break the immersion in a show like this
SHE DIED IRL
Really cool to see Hwang Dong-hyuk work with the actors. He has such a clear idea of what he wants for every shot. End product was amazing.
2:06 i must say though,her acting was top tier ngl,that fall,the emotions
No one gonna talk about her sayin “it’s a physiological thing … like farting .. “ lmfao ??
yes, since everyone loves sae byeok (no hate shes pretty cool) im surprised barely anyones spoke about it
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO shut up-
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO ok
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO ok I won’t and stfu
Even if it's not a real gun just having someone yell "BANG" during silence would make anyone jump lol
ive shouted bang randomly in the middle of class, so i can agree
@@cne1976 Bro are we the same person?
This reply section are all my long lost brothers, whenever I finish a test I yell “BANG”
@@theghostreckon69420 hello brother/sister/animal from a jungle
Ikr
2:59 Bang **Netflix Logo Shows Up**
Its so random LMAO plus it doesnt even have the music 😭😭
The stunts and effects seem even more dangerous and grueling in real life than I thought they would. Such an amazing show!!!!
One of the many great things about squid game is that they acted in real sets instead of computer designed environments. You can see why it's better...
But you can literally see the blue screen during the tug of war? Lol, the show is good, we don't have to make stuff up.
@@StinkyBuster and in the glass scene
Yes, and props to the 400+ actors who actually sacrificed their lives while shooting this, just to make the show more realistic.
lol....
And goood that some of them really did donate their organs..
Man that tug of war scene took a lot out of them! Translated so well on screen. You can see the exhaustion and stress especially when he was dangling.
That’s because apparently a real machine was pulling them so they actually had to use all their energy
That’s what I made a comment about it made the scene more realistic in the show and real life
Your mom acting in porn ah? 😆😆
along with Sae-byeok, Mi-nyeo and Deok-su stole my attention. they were intimidating in their own ways. Min-nyeo with her tactical and pragmatism approaches, her twist and turn personality, her ability to spot and abuse her opponent weaknesses, she keeps her words to death. bruh that's off the chain. Deok-su the menacing one, that tough-to-beat kinda guy, does everything to win, i love the way he hides his weakness so well and smooth until gradually exposed. Kim Joo-ryeong and Heo Sung-tae are sooo talented ! love em !
Seeing the guards just immediately go from fucking terrifying to “ Aight that was fun- “ is funny to me, I dunno why- acting is amazing in Squid Game-
This is why the arts are important! What an amazing display of the acting, the direction, the process, the people it takes, and the professionalism needed to produce something so masterful. It's incredible to see the actors and their process through shooting.
wish i could tell this to schools
You know in light of the tragedy that happened on the set of that film Rust, it's great to see how they managed do incorporate shooting and reactions to gun shoots really well
What happened on the set of Rust??
@@kimchitran258 alec baldwin killed a crew member because the thought that he had a prop gun in his hand but it was real
@@nurpopop he killed Halyna Hutchins, one of the only female cinematographers in the world. she's more than just a "dead crew member" in a tragedy. say her name.
I think this was filmed before the tragedy
@@cactus6173 yeah it was
0:26 it so weird how daek-su looks so polite. And main character after scenes finished he looks really focusing his own tasks.
Fr
FR FR FR FR FR FR FR FR OMG Shut The HECK UP!
Squid Game is an example of the excellence of South Korean Film and TV not an anomaly. The writing, acting, direction and production are all top notch. And they excel at many different genres.
The fact that most of them was their first time acting on a movie They’re so amazing
No actually only one of them
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO ok I won’t and stfu
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO Why I See You Anywhere? Please Just Shut Up
It's NOT a movie....
It's a TV show
i love that the "bang" man in the dalgona scene screams the "bang" on the top of his lungs so the reaction from the actors is real
Just Sang-Woo smiling when they were filming the Tug-of-war game melted my heart 💖
It really took a lot, and I mean LOT OF EFFORT producing this series. I wasn't aware it was this much, much appreciation to the WHOLE TEAM. YOU DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT !!!
Everyone thought Sae beyok didn't smile in her life while watching Squid game but behind the scene she took the opportunity of smiling
She did smile on Red Light Green light, pulling Deuk So
@@ghostinyou588 yes you're right. Deuk so was irritating.
what
Sae byeok barely smiled, but Hoyeon did :)
Working hard for the entertainment of us people. Rounds of applause for each and everyone.
I mean they do get money
@@foruser170 They do, indeed. But not everyone that gets paid can create "magic" or an "enchantment". It's not an easy task to be able to convince emotions and stories to a massive range and amount of audience. It's not an easy task to be able to make a show that will become a global " fever". If it were an easy peasy task, I'd be producing one. So, we gotta appreciate the team and their work that's involved in creating such a phenomenal masterpiece. Even if you refuse to accept it as one, I betcha our average Ram, Harry and Dick can't recreate it. Well, even if they do -- it will be just a photocopy. 😄🤷
Idc if they get money it’s still an art form and ppl appreciate it no wonder show business is 100 years old almost idk
Seeing this made me remember how those were actual actors with some of the best tv performances in a long time. Especially when they’re not real gunshots and the fear isn’t as real. These actors are beyond talent.
2:54 bro that was louder than the actual gunshots
OMG
The anxiety I felt when the actor mentioned the prop Dalgona was breaking!! they must’ve made so many of those
they were actually making it at the same time as the actors were using it
@@asheiou Cool!
They initially ordered a ton of them in bulk but they were too thick, so they had to get an artisan to come in and make them on set as they filmed. The art director was really dedicated to making it all look right.
Whenever you see someone eating on a movie, just remember that means they had to eat that for the whole day
@@reginaldrasyid2456 to avoid things like this props are regularly used depending on the scene
In the US only the director is allowed to yell 'cut'. Here everyone yells it.
no, its just the director and assistant directors who yell cut
the main camera will yell it first and the other cameras call out after.
Yeah cuz they’re trying to match up the scenes they want to make sure everyone gets the shots they need
What are you trying to say or suggest lmao
@@katherinelopinski8896 no, just the director/1st AD's
7:36 It looks like the personalities are reversed, the happy ones are serious and the serious ones are happy
At 6:44 HoYeon Jung’s hair is like weeeeee 💀
8:06 Man that scared the shit out of me
Love this scene
성공할거란 보장도 없는데 한장면 한장면 저렇게 열심히 촬영하고, 그걸 편집하고.. 얼마나 많은 시간과 정성을 들였을까.. 또 그에 준하는 시간과 정성을 들였어도 빛을 보지 못하는 드라마들은 얼마나 많을까..
Incredible cast who delivered a phenomenal performance!!! I wish the season never ended but defiantly looking forward to season 2!!!
The “mean girl” in the movie is really good at acting at the tug of war😂 And also the way they made this is really great. And Sae-byeok was also good at making the *material gurl emo* vibe. Lol.
8:06 2 minutes silence for the HEADPHONE users
I got SO SCARED.
69th like hehehehehehehe-
i yeeted my phone
I got scared 😭😭
These korean actors are way better than Hollywood actors
How tf did you even come to that conclusion. Cringe 😬
@@grouchymuffin27 how is that cringe??????
@@arci2954 sorry for the late reply, Come on these actors really aren't mind blowing, sure they're good and are definitely way better than me. The thing is 90 percent of these comments are people with Korean feti*hes and it's so mind dumbingly cringe. I said mind dumbingly lol
@@grouchymuffin27 the thing is Hollywood actors can act of course but because most American films don't have depth in their plot you don't really have a chance to see their skills. Americans films are mostly about action. No character development or attempt to reach for audience engagement
wtf is that pfp
Squid Game is a masterpiece , so much hard work behind the scenes to make the show, attention to detail is top notch, respect 👏👏👏👏👏
7:24 omg he is comforting them, i love him so much !!
this was cool to watch. I'm so glad there was no commentary or music. I think that takes the focus off the actors and what's going on around them during filming. I actually jumped when the person said bang the last time in the playground scene. Also, in the glass panel scene at the ending. the director or director's assistant gave the actors a new meaning 2 the word "cut". lol!!!
the director really knows what he wants damn
He wrote the show in 2009 so yeah
Actors in Korea are incredible. They’re so good at acting.
MC is always so in character
These Korean actors and actresses are so damn talented wow.
i applaud these people for the best acting i've ever seen
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
@@dobristankov4861??
sang-woo was smiling while everyone was tired like what-😭
Koreans are serious on their productions and delivery. I can't deny that. Their actors have discipline. Everything is so well organized too. The production is more interesting than I expected. I think this is way too awesome more than the show itself. :P
It's so fascinating to see how this masterpiece of a show was made ❤
5:33 intense acting when the guy says "cut" it looks like they lost all hope in humanity
I appreciate Squid Game even more. They're really hardworking and passionate ✨
9:35 Rip headphone users that scared me so bad 😭
1:27 her mood change within seconds gets me every time. Amazing actress i love her
More like Milliseconds-
That BANG is jumpscare af
Exactly
this makes their acting more realistic to me. without the fancy angles and shots
they should do one of those behind-the-scenes documentaries like Schidtt's Creek and Modern Family. I think it would be so cool to see the BTS as a whole
i want to see BTS of gong yoo slapping the shit out of gi-hun 😂
I ALSO THOUGHT OF THAT LMAO 🤣
gi hun is jung jae btw
@@Xelios0 I know
They’re all incredible actors and actresses, it is so much fun watching them do their thing and getting in and out of character inbetween scenes
I love behind the scenes, shows what the actors really go through. I can be sad, or surprised, or happy, but over and over with the same intensity? Great cast.
When you want to make such an amazing series, the hardwork that goes into it HAS to be tremendous. Hats off to the whole team for such a wonderful series!
i love how the writer tells gi hun on how to act like he licks the candy edit: and i love how they said cut and not 자르다 in korean (i think they speak korean of squid game like that)
those are film terms and we just use it without translating
@@ukjentoversetter2225 ik lol
They’re such good actors it’s hard to believe they’re just acting
High quality production with so many professionals. So nice to see
Because of this show, I got to drag my family to watch many K-dramas like DOTS, Hwayugi, W & even historical ones like 100 days my prince too 😂😅 now my parents are big fans of Korean shows & my sister is starting to love EXO 🤣🤣🤣 the power of Squid Game haha
🤣🤣 nice How about crash landing on you

Flower of Evil Welcome to Waikiki, if you want to die laughing.
I like when kang-sae-byeok said “It’s going to be mine later” and then ji-yeong said “yes but not now”
Asian Series are so underrated. The crazy idea of the stories (could be an anime/manga as well) but bringing that idea to life so it's believable - thats an art. Also the quality of them is like there are no limits. I am at a point where I only watch netflix for mostly asian series. They are just mangas but as Netflix original and thats crazy.
Is this how long it takes to do just one little scene😭
yep
the cast is so amazing! i love everyone! but the one i love most is lee jung jae. he's just amazing. I've been watching his few movies and his acting surprises me anytime. yall should watch it too!
for every scene the director's touch is there amazing to see his work behind the scene . thank you
8:44 Hearing San Woo, easily one of the most evil characters in the show, quietly apologize for turning too early is hilarious
Even though the series went viral and was a death game kind of thing (which usually isn't anything special), this series is actually incredible! The acting, the set, the music, it's perfect!
Il-Nam’s is one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. Too good to be true.
Shooting a good work really needs a lot of details, the director and staff of the person in charge, the actors with exquisite acting skills, and a moving script. I can see that their shooting process is not easy. Maybe this is art.
4:39 me when I find a really good cookie and wanna show it off lmao
Squid game took my heart. Koreans r so creative man. Love from India .
Park Hae Soo at 5:40 is such a happy little camper 😂
😭😭
It’s good to see actors/actresses act without being divas without any air or pomp - just acting
7:20 - 7:25 is just 100% pure wholesome goodness….🤗❤️🥰
this show is a masterpiece. loved every second of it!!! so much better in korean rather than the english dubs for anyone thinking about watching!!!!
behind the scenes is fun to watch, it shows how it is made, what they experience they had to make to make it so successful
7:24 omg 001 what are you doing LMAOOOOO
He was touching the other persons shoulder
SUSSY old man
Amazing teamwork overall from the directors, camera and lights, set designers, actors, stylists, everyone did the job well
its so weird how gi-hun is smiling more than every character in the show but as an actor behind the scenes hes all serious while others are the complete opposite
4:50 the actor shows the honeycomb to the director and says "it keeps breaking" me : *heart stops*
i couldn’t stop crying at the end
cant explain how much I love Sae-Byeok's smile
This was a great show and I love that the old gentleman is the master mind, I usually stay in my shop working on building a kayak but always watch this show
The glass bridge was so cool!
