Squid Game

오징어 게임 ‧ Drama ‧ 2021
Both are Lord of the Flies esque Survival Games with social commentary.

Both show society as a miniature and interesting way, essentially being an anthropological scifi

Society Game is even further political than SQG, but in both winner gets a large sum of money

Society Game is a variety show though so obviously no killing like in Squid Game lol

Both of them have blood and horror galore, and another title that appears to be a metaphor for a deep social malaise, All of Us Are Dead certainly seems to have a lot in common with Squid Game, and even features a Squid Game cast member in a major role.

Both shows belong to the genre death game. Whereas the participants in squid game are randomly picked belong the participants in tomodachi game to a secretive friends groups. All the games are entertaining and fun. Either way both shows need to be binged or you die of curiosity. After finishing Squid Game it’s a nice next step to watch TG when you’re still in the mood for the genre.

Both involve a semi-dystopian setting and desperate people playing games to win money prizes.

The style of how games are set up are quite similar. Squid game has some more mental challenges compared to physical 100 which as the title suggests is based on the physical strength of contestants. However, individual and team work are involved in both shows.

reminds me of Squid Game in terms of how the missions/game were passed down by the more powerful hidden deletes testing and having negative type of fun in watching how the "poorer" will act in restrained circumstances. quite sadistic.
the starting of this movie is like Squid game blended with Train to Busan

- A Battle Royale / Hunger Games kinda death match until the last man is standing wins a very high cash prize
- Played between multiple contestants who are in it due to personal reasons
- Both are short series - 6 to 9 episodes only

Both are participation in reality show that turn deathly, but million dollar.
All the participants were place somewhere else that they couldn’t return.
Games became thriller

Both Korean films are about getting the big amount of money
No one can be trusted.
People step over others to win or to get the money
Intense, strategies, mystery action fun watch
Recommended by Chia6
Both are about greet, large amount of money
People fighting people, each has own reason.
Bad, evil vs good, kind
Action, sympathy, brutality, morality….
Who deserved the money?
