Once wide-eyed, terrified, and intermittently goofy, Gi-hun is now stony and trauma-hardened, grimly determined to keep his fellow players alive long enough to convince them that they need to escape. Lee, who brought an endearing levity to Gi-hun’s travails in season 1, manages his character’s emotional shift beautifully, as he frantically tries to awaken his fellow players to the danger they’re in ahead of the first game: Red Light, Green Light.
Fear not, there are new games — and like Red Light, Green Light, they are incongruously barbaric. This is no place for spoilery details, but I can say that each game generates gut-twisting, yell-at-the-screen suspense, even on a second watch. And the games' announcer (voiced to eerie perfection by Jeon Young-soo) gives the most chilling instruction yet: “Players, please wait while we tidy up the venue.”
With the humor (mostly) sapped out of his hero, Hwang adds compensatory comic relief through several new characters. Jung-bae forms a charming friendship with Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), a young Marine who’s eager to be of service to the older man. Jeon Seok-ho is consistently amusing as Woo-seok, an excitable small-time criminal who joins Jun-ho in the search for the island. And Choi — a well-known rapper off-screen — brings phenomenal charisma and swagger to Thanos, who maintains his MC bravado even in the most horrific circumstances. Yoo’s slick recruiter enjoys more screen time this season, and the actor explodes his character’s chilling composure during a terrifying — and delightfully unhinged — reunion with Gi-hun.
