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!!!
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.
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.
