8 Squid Game & The 8 Show Are Both Survival Shows They Both Have Big Prizes, Too Close One of the biggest similarities between Squid Game and The 8 Show is that they are both survival shows. However, the way contestants have to survive is very different. In Squid Game, the last person standing is the sole winner while every other contestant is killed so they can claim their prize, which is a fixed amount of 45.6 billion won.
The 8 Show "The 8 Show" is an upcoming South Korean thriller and dark comedy television series set to release on Netflix in 2024. Written and directed by Han Jae-rim, the series stars Ryu Jun-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jeong-min, and other notable actors. It is based on the popular Naver webtoons "Money Game" and "Pie Game" by Bae Jin-soo.
5 Stairs Are More Than Just Stairs in Squid Game & The 8 Show They Both Hold Very Significant Meanings Close The stairs towards the arena of Squid Game are a prominent feature of the show. Inspired by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher’s Relativity, Squid Game’s staircases disorientate its contestants and add a sense of unease to the game as the seemingly endless stairs lead them to their deaths.
Meanwhile, in The 8 Show, violence isn’t a necessary part of the game. However, contestants jump to an aggresive conclusion when they realize that hurting their fellow contestants in cruel games adds to their total time and means they can continue the game and earn money. This results in more violent acts as The 8 Show progresses in a twisted attempt to appease the unknown hosts and continue the game for as long as possible.
