    One of the best tv series I have ever watched

    The script, the characters, the actors. Everything is amazingly great. There is not one logic error in the script and as a viewer you just want more of this series. I have been watching korean series for some time and they are really good. And this one is one of the best. Normally, I fastforward some of the series if it gets a little bit boring and I have watched Death's Game without any fastforwarding. I hope there will be other series with this quality. Strongly recommend this series to everyone. I gave this series 10. I would give more if it was possible to do so. Death's Game is one of the must watch series of korean tv series.

    Korean innovation is like nothing we've ever seen.

    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!

    Brilliant and I don't say that to much shows.

    Gotta be honest lost my love for Korean shows for some time now and thought they don't make them good anymore for the last 2 to 3 years. But wow oh wow they truly have with this one. Absolutely amazing. Thus has rekindled my fire for watching Korean shows again and will be looking around to find something similar. I recommend you give this a show ASAP. Can't do justice by explaining so watch it and let everyone know. Best part is thay it's not made by netflix so doesn't have that typical netflix control. Hope they make a season 2 but can't see how. But nevertheless amazing start to end. Wonderful!!!

    I Am Officially a K-Drama Fan

    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.

    It was life lesson not just a show.

    After the first half i knew it will be one of the best shows i seen.

    After the second half i knew it was the best show i ever seen.

    Why?

    The qualities of it are clear From the writing to acting and directing and you know that from the other reviews.

    But from me as it touch my heart, i can describe the experience like it beat me until i start crying like a little biby and i didn't mind it be couse it was a lesson a life lesson that will make you think about a lot of stuff in your life.

    It's a masterpiece for sure, check it out and see by your self how people are deffirent and alike in the same time.
