Squid game 2 casting sucked

I've not finished the season 2, but, I can tell the focus felt like it was on too many characters.
But, only a couple of new characters interested me, honestly. It was the two young women.
The script felt rushed because it did not elaborate a bit more on those two women's lives.
And what's with the forced, cringey humor?????? Season 2 felt like a shadow of the first by miles.
And I don't think the impact of season 2's ending will be as hard-hitting either.
But, I'll see what happens in episode 7 and keep my expectations low.
Sadly, this generally seems to be the trend with a lot of Netflix shows -- the first seasons were phenomenal, then the following ones end up not being on par.

I can't/I won't blame the actors, they did their job acting what the script gave 'em; the story I felt was undercooked/side characters were either leftovers from waste basket from season 1 or new characters without as much depth as Saebyeok/sangwoo/il nam or many others from s1. Even byunghun, his brother's(in the show) n gihun seemed to be less developed than expected after 3 years waiting. I think the writer didn't have in mind a continuation/ending and just spun it out using whatever he didn't use up from season 1 and it was weaker cos of the time taken to write/develop s2.
SG S1 took 15 years to gestate and was so much stronger as a story and a series and a (almost) complete in itself show. If only Netflix had given squid game the faith/time it gave to stranger things, who knows what SG S2/S3 mighta been.(I hvnt watched Stranger Things after S1 or many others like Better call Saul or orange is the new black to the finish but 1 reason I was anticipating Squid Game S2 was it would end after S3 and the filming/writing was finished or completed before S2 release. Sadly I have to wait to see if SG S3 fumbles it's ending like Lost/BG reboot or sticks the landing. Maybe breaking bad finale(?) but I stopped after S1 and only picked up when the final season pt 2 or pt 1 was due/complete.)
Hope S3 is worth the 4 year(since S1) wait!

So....... I watched episode 7 of season 2 and....... yeah, it's not as strong as season one.
There seems to be a lot of loose ends in the story and, apparently, seasons 2 and 3 were written together and maybe that, and the fact season 2 was shorthanded by a few episodes, were the reasons why it felt incomplete. Those were the rumors floating around.
Will I continue watching?
I don't think so because, again, Netflix shows don't do well even if they're lucky enough to reach season 3.

This is exactly what I just said to my brother. The characters in the first season were so much more likeable. But at the same time I kinda prefer them not being too likeable coz I got really sad when the main girl in season 1 died. Or even the Indian guy. This way they can die and I don't care.
They kept repeating the same things every episode and the same annoying characters repeating things.
I also just find it extremely unrealistic that ordinary people would watch people get murdered in cold blood and just continually vote to stay and keep doing it. It's very unrealistic the natural instinct for people is to escape danger. Sure you're in debt your life is over anyway but nobody wants a brutal death like that they want to decide their own death.
It's just unrealistic. Regular people can't handle people getting killed in front of them even soldiers get PTSD from it and they're all just wanting to stay. There's bound to be some who stay but the percentage wise would be like 70-30 not 49-51
