I always thought it was interesting to compare different characters from one another. Squid-Game is a different show from Alice In Borderlands though, as the former speak more about Korea's social economic issues, whereas Alice in Borderlands deals with the psychological and social aspects of the Japanese people. Also while maintaining that AIB is purely fictional entertainment without a lot of social commentary.
Both characters while they have similar struggles, they have different goals though. Arisu wants to stop the game after an important plot turn. Gi-Hun wants money to help both his mother and his daughter.
Certainly, but there are aspects that connect despite being in different contexts. Also, the end of The Squid Game implies that the protagonist wants to return to stop the games. A somewhat forced twist on the part of the writer.
I have only watched it till episode 7, but damn, that would be a weird twist ending.
