Seeing people unfamiliar with Korea reality shows tlaking about the slow pacing is so interesting to me. This is by far one of the fastest paced reality shows I've ever seen come from Korea. And Squid Games was the fastest drama/episodic show I'd ever seen with such fast pacing. They've definitely been catering towards Western and younger audiences. Growing up, a drama would take 3 hours for them to a single love confession

yup, in that moment I was like....well that pretty much is the difference between Westerners and Easterners. Collectivism vs Indivisualism. Miracles Western fight to be the winner above all took over in that moment

it's Korean style editing. They move at a slower pace and want you to see multiple reactions/expressions.
