"Squid game 3 was realistic"

Gihun made it to the final games twice. Junhee gave birth in less than 15 minutes, no bleeding, nothing, but her broken ankle was treated as more painful than childbirth. The baby didn't have diapers and was fed twice but still survived.

Overall the third season of popular series received mixed reaction as many felt that makers could have thought some different end. Some theories also predicted a fight between Lee Jung-jae (Seong Gi-hun) and Lee Byung-hun who plays front man. However we got unexpected end, which some how made Squid Games Fans sad.
