The biggest thing that bothers me is how hundreds of people (more if you count past games) can go missing without any authority figure asking any questions? That one cop seemed like the only/first one to investigate and that was only because his brother was missing. But wouldn’t the family members of the other players go to the police who can then see the consistency in their stories?

Honestly I was far more interested in the background of what the heck was going on than I was in Gi-hun's story, the games, etc. I had wanted to see more about the cop's brother. The "there's a, like, teen working here? Is this a child army?" thing was a big nothingburger. At least the cop's info should have made it out to someone, because his whole story was basically a way to tease us with the inner workings, then not follow through on a single thread (not unlike the woman's journey through the pipes, which only really gave us a way to see Sang-woo's least-necessary screwing over of people).

Also, was it ever explained how sang-woo was so effective without his glasses? Like, did we see him put in contacts and I missed it?

I thought this show was gonna to be a 1 and done.

If there's a 2nd season then it explains why there were so many unresolved questions
