Death's Game

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.

Episodes 1-4 was a whirlwind of emotions. Seo In-Guk, with all the other actors did great. They gave the webtoon justice! Not only was the acting/character portrayal was amazing, but the lessons I got out of it hit me to the core. Effects wise was also jaw dropping. I would watch it again and again. Once you started watching the show, there's just no point of stopping. I wish they would release this to other streaming platforms so more people could watch it. How every episodes are connected and the twists revealed only showed that this was a well thought, well directed show. Worth binge watching it!!!

One of the best series I've ever watched , gripping , emotional , no words to describe how happy I'm after finishing this series bcoz I have watched one hell of an experience in a very very long time , no words to describe bcoz that much I'm thrilled by watching all the 8 episodes , It can never be predicted, not even a single episode , every episode has its unique touch , I wish this get acclaimed and hit more than any series ever , that much I loved it , It really groups you, it really connects with you emotionally , it really makes u feel wow , That wow factor is amazing , all the casting was perfect.

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!

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.
