Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and Taika Waititi had a lot to say about the dubbed vs. subbed debate. We break down the pros and cons of both.
The Big Picture Every time a TV series or movie not in the English language like Squid Game manages to break out of its country of origin and become popular internationally, you can always predict the type of discussions that will pop up all over the Internet.
Squid Game Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes: a survival game that has a whopping 45.6 billion-won prize at stake. Another reason you should consider the dubbed version is if you are the type of person who doesn’t have their eyes glued to the screen at every second. There are many people who like “watching” something as they check their phones, or maybe parents who are on the lookout for their kids' activities, during which time they do more listening than actually watching, and only look at the screen when something important happens.
“Please watch the subtitled one. If you don’t see the acting, the performance from the real actor, then you’re not seeing anything. You are missing most of the ‘Squid Game’ fun.” One more possible problem in dubbing is that the voice work has to match the movements of the original actor’s mouth, which means many adaptations have to be made in order to fit the length of the dialogue. This also happens with subtitles, but the difference is that, even with the limited space, subtitles can be designed in a way to stay on the screen a little bit longer, or be expanded to occupy a bigger part of the screen.
