- Socioeconomic disparity
- People play games to survive and entertain the rich
- Some people are more honorable than others

Both dramas are about a society that’ll do anything for money, murder, nitty gritty crimes while there’s a mastermind enjoying the mess

None that goes by the same just that the background is quite similar, especially the game thingy and the punishment that goes along when they were eliminated ????

These shows don't have much in common but I feel if you like one, you would like the other. I didn't really care for either one, but I preferred Squid Game to Sweet Home, while my mom loved both but preferred Sweet Home to Squid Game. Sweet Home is a bit more brutal and gory on screen while Squid Game is a bit more mentally gruesome. If you enjoy Thriller/Mystery dramas, you will prefer Squid Game. If you prefer Horror/Apocalyptic dramas, you will prefer Sweet Home.

when I think of "inside a game", Memories of the Alhambra is my first thought. the characters in both these dramas try to escape from the game- will they succeed or not? we find ourselves rooting for the characters' happy ending and thrilling escapes :)

When BYH 1st goes to the voice phishing office and got his red numbered jacket it felt like a scene from Squid Game
The basic idea was the same, guy goes undercover in a place that lied to people and used their weaknesses for money and entertainment

Kdramas that have become widely popular and broken into the mainstream.
Both stories deal with themes of class struggles and income inequality. They also have thrilling, dark, & bloody elements.

Both movies about winning big amount of money. Story within story. Will the million dollars bring happiness?

tw // kinda spoiler

- both the dramas are thrillers
- in both the dramas the members of the team die one by one
- there's only a single survivor from both the teams
- the main villain turns out to be someone from their team
- the villains organized these for their own entertainment
- most of the characters in both dramas lead trashy lives/ do bad deeds
- at the end both the main male lead characters try to make things right

While SG is far more intense and gruesome, both have the similar concept of a group of people, mostly strangers, who are coerced by a shady person into playing games where they will die or fall into a coma if they fail to pass each level. Both have scenes where someone is watching the games on a screen.

They're pretty similar because of the Death Game... Even not literally the same they have lot of similarities. Death Bell is highly recommended for those people who like Squid Game. Definitely not for the faint hearted

100 Random participants was chosen to join the surviving game through a game monitor helmet & the winner can obtain Garo gold costume. A must watch dark thriller psychological drama. This not s sequel or prequel from previous Garo series/movie.
