Comparing the 2 is unfair on AIB, because obviously SG is inspired by AIB.

SG is similar to Korean cars, take the best features of other makes and try to make it their own, aka copycat.

jdrama tend to inject abit too much over-the-top anime feel into their shows hence normally their shows don't get that well received by non anime fans but then again that's what the Japanese audience prefers for their shows I guess. kdramas have faster pace and tend to have more realistic settings, so it's easier to relate for the general audience around the world. alice and squid are both fantastic shows in their own way, in fact squid game is probably more similar to kaiji in terms of concept.
on a side note, go watch d.p in Netflix if u haven't, totally blown away by this show adapted from a k web toon, getting very impressed with seinen like k web toons , very original and uniquely different from Japanese ones.

Both are nice but the way the leads magically appear in the borderlands in Alice is too far fetched. Maybe it will be explained in subsequent seasons but based on season 1, it feels incomplete
Agree with you. That's why I choose squid as the better drama

Squid Game is better cos the main character's predicament is worst.

Alice In Borderland is just a charsiew that got invited into the game by chance.
aib he is not char siew. and he wasnt there by chance. something happened to all the players in real life thats why all of them ended in the world where they have to compete

Alice in borderland sucks. It only appeals to horny immature audiences who like flashy games and bikini-clad girls running around. Squid Game, however, is a masterpiece that depicts the moral compass of people in extreme situations.
