The 8 Show candidates and their Squid Games Counterparts

One character is maybe more different than the other. If I had to pair them with the Squid Game characters I would suggest these.

Il-Nam - Floor 1: Poor, kind, wise, dies a heroic death

Sae-byeok - Floor 2: Tough girl, sporty and hard to crack

Gi-Hun - Floor 3: The comedic, dorky protagonist

Ji-yeong - Floor 4: Young girls, almost under the radar, Floor 4 is totally whiny though

Ali - Floor 5: Naive, friendly and believing in human kindness

Deok-soo - Floor 6: Criminal, brutal, reckless gangsters

Sang-Woo - Floor 7: The intelectual who is smart, shady and has a backplan

Mi-nyeo - Floor 8: Full of themselves, doing basically anything for entertainment, narcissistic psychopaths
