Death's Game

Just when you thought you've seen everything,here comes a Kdrama that breaks every rule, by creating a situation never seen before in television...then turning said situation on its head. It has been said that in the catholic religion if someone commits suicide it means your automatically destined for hell, well in "Death's Game" it also means you are seeking an audience with the Grim Reaper, and Death thinks it's disrespectful to seek it out... so it punishes you by putting your poor soul into 12 different people that will inevitably die... all the while giving you hope that if you can some how beat said inevitable death you'll get a chance at life. Seems simple enough right? But you would be totally wrong if you think you can assume how all this will shake out. Worth it!

This drama is just amazing. I will say one of the best in this genre (fantasy). The fact that it's so unpredictable, cope with great scripts, amazing acting, that by itself make it a 10 out of 10 for me. Believe me, there is so much to its arsenal. Smart, gritty, bloody, heart warming, heart wrenching, to name a few. Oh yeah let's assemble one of the most diverse and powerful casting I've seen so far, in a Korean fantasy show. That ladies and gents, is a recipe for an instant classic.

I've watched 100s kdrama, never seen anything quite like it. So do yourself a favor, GO WATCH IT!!! And thank me later.

Korean dramas are the best in the world, what a series, what a message, what a story.

Hats off to the original web toon as well.

The tv series is one of a kind with such a strong story and moral lesson. Life is beautiful as it is itself an Opportunity no matter how lost you are never give up on yourself.

The protagonist is one of the best actor I have ever seen, to be honest all the characters was in perfect sync with the story.

From now on I will only watch K dramas as I think it is never a time waste but life teachings for us.

Thanks to the Death's Game team such a beautiful drama which I will cherish all my life.

Wow, the story is really good, even though it's a fantasy genre, it's still tense, creating a tense atmosphere. The story line is fresh, someone who has died many times and been reincarnated in the bodies of different people. This series also features other famous actors who are no less cool than the main character. One of the series at the end of this year with almost all of the players being visual. I like the setting of the scene which is quite pleasing to the eye, not monotonous, arranged in such a way that it doesn't feel boring. Honestly, usually I don't really like films with fantasy genre stories like this because it will be boring and there are too many talking scenes in each episode, but this series actually provides an interesting story because it has a touch of real, exciting action and also has a mystique that makes me want to keep watching. I hope there is second season.

I'm happy I've been able to keep discovering new shows intermittently from South Korea. I watched a lot of SK horror and Park Chan-wook films for years before I even considered watching K-dramas. My experience of such were briefly gazing at the TVs in the jjimjilbang, which seemed constantly tuned to soap operas little old ladies were watching that looked no better than their American daytime television cousins. I dismissed K-drama as an art form as beholden to either the latter pattern, or alternately sappy shows for teens who are obsessed with pop stars.

Fortunately there are intriguing and entertaining shows like Death's Game. I'm hooked on this one, to my surprise I actually caught a series in process and cannot binge watch this drama at will. I have to wait until January for the next episode! I recommend you join me.

Park So-dam from Parasite plays Death, and she's wonderful.
