Squid Game season 2 Twitter reactions

A fan expressed that they thought the new season of Squid Game surpassed the first, saying, “Squid Game season 2 built on everything we loved from the first season and cranked up the excitement. The suspense is intense, and I’m all in for it.”

One fan expressed curiosity about the fate of their favorite character, 456, played by Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun. They mentioned, “Squid Game 2 is incredible so far, but I can’t shake the feeling that 456 can’t come out on top again. There’s got to be a huge twist coming, or they might just off him. I’d be pretty let down if that doesn’t happen, but I’m really enjoying it!”

Another viewer teased that the second episode had something spectacular lined up for fans, saying, “Wow, the ending of episode two… Whoa! #SquidGame2 #SquidGame.”

Some fans weren't entirely sold, though. One reviewer shared a detailed take on the new season, wrapping it up with, “Squid Game Season 2 shows how the series can grow while keeping its core essence. It’s a more intense, broader, and captivating follow-up that, although it doesn’t quite reach the groundbreaking heights of the first season, still hooks you with its storytelling and performances.”

These performances really shine

Lee Jung-jae definitely got his fair share of love as the original star of the show, but fans on X were also raving about Gong Yoo's performance as the salesman. Plus, T.O.P from BigBang, who played rapper Thanos, caught a lot of eyes too. One fan exclaimed, “#GongYoo’s acting skills are insane…” Another chimed in, “Can we talk about how this is Gong Yoo's first time as a psycho villain??? And look at the material he's delivering??? He deserves the best supporting actor award RIGHT NOW.”

T.O.P's fans found him to be both 'hot' and super funny on the show. One fan commented, “His intro as rapper Thanos was just too funny. T.O.P in #SquidGame2.” Another chimed in with, “TOP IS SO HOT (fire emoji).” However, his casting stirred up some controversy because of his 2017 arrest for marijuana and his supposed connection to the Burning Sun scandal in 2019.

A few people even posted screenshots from the show, cracking jokes about how Gen Z is still stressing over their phones, even in a messed-up world. One person dropped a light spoiler, saying, “They somehow made rock, paper, scissors all kinds of messed up,” along with a GIF of Nene Leakes from Real Housewives of Atlanta looking totally shocked.
