    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.

    The story line is fresh, someone who has died many times and been reincarnated in the bodies of different people.

    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.

    Superb TV Show

    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!!!

    Inspiring

    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.

    JUST SUPERB!!!

    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.
