Every action carries corresponding consequences. Life is a cause and effect relationship. You will get the things you choose to have. That is why, we are always told to think several times before we perform some actions and decisions in life. You gotta learn how to visualize the possible effect or result whenever you execute that particular plan.

________________________

I am currently reading some articles and I have read few about the television series entitled "Squid Game". It is a South Korean movie that I really recommend. Especially, if you are the kind of person who loves thrill, adventure, survival and drama.

I just finished watching it last night and I must say that it is really a good series. Of course, I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't good in my own perception right? I like the twist of the story. Well, the ending doesn't surprise me anymore because I got spoiled by the people in facebook and tiktok.

Anyways, let's go back to what I am saying. I have seen several feedbacks, opinions and emotions posted in facebook by different people about the movie. And just a disclaimer, I am not saying that what they feel towards some characters were wrong okay? All the things that I am writing in this article is just based on my own point of view as well.

________________________

Screenshot from the movie in my phone.

Let's focus with this character. Mr. Oh Il-nam . The oldest and the weakest contestant in the game. The doctors diagnosed him with a brain tumor and only have few days left.

We all know that he and Gi-hun created a strong bond of friendship in the middle of the game. And to be honest, I am really touched by their bond.

I have seen a lot of facebook post about calling him a traitor. And I don't understand why people call him that. Is it because he was the mastermind behind everything?

Does being the mastermind of the game a valid reason to label him as a traitor?

________________________

Before we give him that name, let us first answer this 3 questions.

  • Did he force anyone to join?

Everyone was force to join. However, it wasn't Il-nam who force them. It was the poverty and their desperateness that drives them to join the said game.

  • Did he gave them a chance to leave?

After the first game, everyone was consumed by fear. Who wouldn't? majority of the team demanded to terminate the game and Il-ham was one of those people. In short, he gave them a chance to leave the place and stopped the game.

  • Did he cheat during the games?

As far as I can clearly remember. Every game that he have joined in where all played fairly. He followed the instructions and played along with other player as well. Well except to the 4th game of course. He may lose the game but he wasn't killed since he was the mastermind.

________________________

Conclusion

As for me, I didn't see him as a traitor. What happened to those people were the result of their decision (joining the game, even if they already know the consequences). Every player has a story to tell. It is just so saddening to know that because of poverty, people will do everything even if it cost their lives. At some point, we can also observed how greediness turn people into monsters.

We can't deny the fact that money is important. However, we should always remember that it is not everything.

It's really sad knowing that people will point a finger on you when in fact it was their choice what to decide for themselves. I have watches this too, and I felt sad for the old guy in the last part. I mean, given the odds, he also gave them the chance to give up yet like what you have mentioned, it was their decision to go back.

For me noh, he was never been a traitor, he was there just to play like a normal player, in fact ang lalaki man gani ang nag traydor sa iyaha kay nang cheat, he took the advantage to cheat kay lagi tigulang na tas makalimot, but still he let his opponent win

True mars, he's not a traitor though he's at fault too because he knows the game already. But those who joined got the chance to not continue. Remember he press X button to end the game.

Yes mars. Both the players and Mr. Il-ham ang may fault talaga.

He was not a traitor because everyone was given a choice to play or not. However, I don't like what this old man said in his death bed. He somehow said that the rich being rich doesn't have thrill, fun, happiness, or joy for what they buy, acquire, or dream because they can get everything they wanted. Thus, they come up with such game because it gives them satisfaction. That's ridiculous.

In the fourth game or the marble game, He actually would have won if his opponent did not cheated. He acted like he cannot remember what's his choice but in fact, he just don't want his opponent to lose the game.
