Finished this up earlier today. I liked it and actually liked how it ended. I figured the old man would come back when they didn’t actually show him dying onscreen during the marble game. That was a nice little twist. And I liked how they ended it to possibly set up another season, but if they don’t have one this one still wraps up nicely. The side plot of the cop and his brother being the main one running things was a little unnecessary and boring. But it didn’t bother me much. As I said, the worst part for me was the VIPs. They added nothing to the story at all, and actually took away from it a bit for me.

All in all, I think SG has a more follower story than AiB, although I enjoyed AiB more. It was just more interesting and I liked most of the games more.

Definitely would watch a second season of both though (and I’m hoping AiB comes soon).

The cops' plot line bugged me mainly because it had no conclusion. I didn't mind the VIP plot as much as most because while a trope it gave the other side of the game which I think the story needs but some might prefer to leave it nebulous. I put a lot of the cringiness down to lose in translation. If I spoke Korean I might have a better feel for how bad it was.

Still haven't finished Alice yet but I am still enjoying it. It is the same but different. I think the Squid Game games are more intense since they often require a high percentage of players to die. It does seem to be moving to a much more complex situation than Squid though.
