Both revolve around a game in which contestants play for a cash prize. Squid Game seems like it'll be more action. Whereas Liar Game I don't really remember there being much violence. Liar Game was televised in the drama whereas I'm not sure Squid Game will be. Squid Game is a death game. Liar Game is more about swindling one another and lying to each other to get money. Liar Game had psychological things in it whilst I'm not sure Squid Game will since it hasn't aired yet.

It is another survival game but this one has no set up and is more like "Hunger Games" than an unknown higher power running the show.

8.5 W (2016)
Both of the stories are really unpredictable. W and Liar Game (Korean Remake) Keep you hanging, although W has 16 episodes and Liar game has 12 episodes.. which is really sad because I wished it was longer...

Both are super interesting and the plot has many twists and turns.
Both are lowkey on the romance if that is what you prefer.
Both are intertwined with betrayal and deceiving people
Both have the concept of a “game” in them.
Villain characters in both were really good.

I felt like the male lead from my mister and the female lead lead from liar game were pretty similar in the sense that:
-both were kind
-both were seen as weak due to their kind natures
-both proved in the end that being kind is a strength despite most people telling them that they are being stupid

The female lead from my mister and the male lead from liar game were similar:
-both have gone through a lot of pain which has made them cold and uncaring to others
-both get frustrated with the kind nature of the other lead
-both protect the leads at all costs
-both are incredibly intelligent

In both dramas, towards the end the leads find out that they had been deceived/lied to by the other lead but don't jump to misunderstandings conflict. They choose to keep trusting the other person because they know the other person.
There's also a huge debt to be paid by the female leads in both dramas.
There's no blatant romance in both dramas. Its left to the viewer's interpretation (and I choose to believe that the leads ended up together in both dramas)
