fascinating !
After the first part, this is my review : It is without any doubt a wonderful series. You are not bored a second, it is always in motion, the casting is great, the plot is original. All this is made with several tough subjects, and they managed to deal with them pretty well.Yi Jae will face several deadly situations (all of them are original), can he change this ?
Obviously some scenes are difficult to watch but this is the price to pay to have the maximum realism.
Seo In Guk is awesome, as expected, but the entire cast is compelling (always a pleasure to see Kim Jae Wook after Alchemy of souls).
Edit : after the end of the series : it is still great ! I wont spoil, but you have so many surprises lol ! The writers play with our nerves it s very nice !

A Drama that SHAPED my Life :-)
LEARNING has no End !!!At any stage of Life , each and every second , from each and every being , We can learn something .
I am a person who believes in that.
So I always questioned myself -
"What did I learn from this drama ?"
"What did I learn from this situation ?"
"What did I learn from this person ?"
"What did I learn from my Experience ?"
"What did I learn Today ?"
etc. etc.
But never ever,
Not even in my dreams,
Even for once,
Did I question myself -
"What can we learn from DEATH ?"
This DRAMA has taught me that !!!
.....................................................................................
I always heard and believed -
"We get to live only once ! "
Never did I think about -
"We have to DIE only once - was muchhh more of a blessing than living once ."
.....................................................................................
Although this drama talks about DEATH
I'm really really grateful for giving it a watch .
Because it taught me - " THE VALUE OF LIFE !!! "
P.S.- Also , It's hard to Rewatch it , because It's not a drama you can forget easily ;-)

"내 죽음이 참을 수 없이 부끄러웠다".
Are there ANY lives not worth living? Any at all?🔸️In comparison to Tomorrow that could only offer the cliche "tomorrow will be better" and more or less noticable victim blaming for giving up on your life, Death's Game, on the other hand, acknowledges the personal struggle and responsibility while encouraging you to continue fighting, to win this horrible game and rise from the ashes. Because while you continue living, you are already winning each minute of your life.
It's interesting to watch one actor playing several characters in one show, but to watch several actors playing one character together? All the Yi Jae cast had to layer Yi Jae's nature and behavior on the host personality, the owner of the new body. This task is exciting on its own, and the acting turned out phenomenal. Kim Jae Wook playing psychopath rival? That scene gave me chills, let alone the brilliantly adapted screenplay.
🔺️Watching the drama won't help severely depressed and suicidal people. And of course it's not meant to do that. If you're in such condition, please, try seeking help from mental health professionals.
But it can and does help those who are struggling. It killed me and put me back together piece by piece, just like Yi Jae, in the final. Immersive af.
Did you know? The name Yi Jae sounds identical to "right now" in Korean. I enjoy so much the wordplay in character names in K-dramas.

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Death's Game '' is a webtoon adaption of an action packed story.The drama has multiple layers, as it goes from a melodrama, to a tragic love story, to a family emotional drama, to a murder mystery, to a fantasy philosophical story. And, as it follows multiple stories, it provides the main plot with many elements that come together in the end.
And even though the start of the story is hectic, the drama settles to its rhythm in the episodes to come, giving the story a nice and original ending and plenty of emotional scenes.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

The message is not helpful... but the acting and the action scenes were exciting.
I really had high expectations about this k-drama, how not to get excited with such a good cast and the performances really met my expectations, but about the story itself I do have some things to say. First of all, I consider that it is obvious that this is not the right k-drama to prevent and give knowledge about such a delicate subject as suicide, if that was one of its objectives it failed to achieve it, because at the end (as well as other kdramas of this style) they show this act as selfish and almost senseless, and that the one who commits it should be punished, which is very ineffective in most of the real cases. Using this resource is a bit risky and delicate, but leaving that aside and from my own point of view, I found the first part quite exciting and intriguing, the chase scenes were probably my favorite, however, in the second part it took a turn, although it was not my favorite, it still managed to capture my attention, unfortunately in its last two chapters it became a little boring and personally failed to move me enough, as it seems it was intended. I don't think it was totally bad, in fact it was okay, but I think some things could have been better executed (I clarify that I didn't read the webtoon, so I don't know how well adapted it was).Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Y SI...????
Creo que este drama se convierte en el deseo de todas las personas en que la muerte y los traumas recibidos por ella quisieran.En lo personal el actor interpreta de forma perfecta el cómo se logra transitar de la idea egoísta y la murmuración permanente en el oído de los demonios que incitan a terminar con la vida propia...... a la incapacidad de ver el valor de uno mismo y el valor que te da la familia o los que te rodean, a los efectos de llevar el acto a término. En un momento dado del show empezamos a preguntarnos ...Y si....?
Lo cual significa que el show logro su objetivo, lo principal no es tener bienes o ser exitoso, lo importante es sentirte agradecido de la vida que te tocó y sino te gusta ....hay mil opciones ....solo hay que abrir bien los ojos.
Así se descubre este nuevo mundo que recién empieza en vez de ponerle fin. Lo cual es terriblemente irónico y maldito.
La muerte y la actriz desempeña lo que debería ser, un delivery del paso al más allá que se frustra cuando no cumple los objetivos.
Amo a ambos actores y los secundarios maravillosos.

Plot: Season 2 doesn't have the majority of the pacing and goals issues that season one had. In fact, it's so good at setting small stakes that not only do the first two episodes have a separate revenge-style agenda set for the main character but the final episodes also have a clear sense of risk and drive. While the main character is still an unpleasant dumbass, the show is finally more at pace with it and it comes across as an inside joke between the viewers and Death than just a badly written MC. Plus, the emotional connections that season 1 lacked are here galore and it can really get to you by the end of the show. I actually liked this part a lot. I guess the issue was always a pacing problem but I give the writers some credit, it feels like a difficult plot to balance. There was still plenty of melodramatic violence and I want to say some was gratuitous but at least this time it worked with what the plot was trying to achieve.
Acting: I feel like maybe this half also had a stronger cast? They brought the characters alive and sure, we had more time to connect with these characters (thank goodness!) so it was easier to have emotional investment in them but the good acting helped too.
Music and production: Same as season 1
Rewatch value: Hmmm still none.
Negatives: The MC really is an absolute idiot! So it didn't ruin the show this time but he does frustrate a lot. And the jump from episode 4 to 5, there is such a dramatic shift from fighting death to revenge plot that I was a little skeptical at first but it was well-executed so it wasn't so bad. But they sure took their time to make a very simple point!
Overall: This half was actually good. I know it wouldn't be a meaningful show without the first half though. So this is a conflicted review. I can't tell you to watch the first half because I really disliked it and 50% is a lot of a show to tolerate for the longest build-up. But if you're willing to sit through that, this half of the show was very enjoyable so definitely keep watching. I mean, it's not a top ten show of the year or most loved or anything for me but it was watchable.

Dorama anti-suicídio necessário
A história gira em torno de Yee-jae, que está insatisfeito com sua vida, seja no sentido pessoal quanto profissional. Por conta disso, ele acaba se suicidando, porém a entidade da "morte" o pune, de forma que ele terá que aguentar mortes em 12 corpos diferentes para que ele não vá ao inferno.O dorama trabalha de uma forma muito linda o suicídio (tópico sensível para mim, que me acabei de chorar, principalmente nos episódios 4 e 8) e deixa diversas reflexões para os telespectadores.
A atuação, produção e roteiro simplesmente impecáveis, já estou criando muitas expectativas para o próximo drama da Amazon Prime.

"life itself is an opportunity. it's okay to fail as long as you keep going"
Death's game for sure has one of the most creative storyline out of all kdrama I've ever watched.At first I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was kinda skeptical about the idea of having to follow 12 different people throughout the whole show. I wasn't really sure how they could even make a good story out of it. Despite that I was very pleasantly surprised by how good everything was about this show.
Not only is it a very well written and original story, the show has very good acting of all 12 characters that the mc got to live, very stunning, beautiful and realistic visuals, and surprisingly interesting side characters that make the story so much more appealing. What shocked me the most about the story tho wasn't even the revenge plot (even tho it was a very nice addition to the main plot), but the death's themselves. In his 11th death we find out that the mc is actually the person that killed himself in front of his past self, resulting In him killing himself years later what lead to the same events (a paradoxical loop). The connections between the death's u see throughout the story were very fascinating to me and made the story even better than it already was.
This show was very meaningful in the sense that it's not only fun to watch but teaches you something. This really changed my view on suicide and death in general. It made me realise how less life is being appreciated nowadyas and how much we shouldn't take it for granted (as cheesy as that sounds). Death is a very good character imo. Despite her cruel actions, is death a very smart character who mostly tried to teach the stubborn mv how wrong he was for ending his life. Litterly almost every line of Death has some real life meaning behind it. Its only after dying 11 times that he's aware of his mistake, but by that time it's already too late.
This kdrama is overall very unique and interesting. I'll definitely be recommending this to others💯

Don't play with death! A Stirring Reflection in Every Episode
Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster with this show that skillfully navigates the aftermath of suicide, featuring a truly remarkable cast. The storytelling offers a unique perspective on the struggles faced by those left behind, tackling the heavy themes of depression and its ripple effects. Each episode is a thrilling exploration of life's value and the potential consequences of one's actions on both personal and interpersonal levels. The show poignantly highlights the absence of second chances, emphasizing the irreparable nature of certain choices. As someone who has weathered the loss of a partner, I found the portrayal deeply resonant, offering a cathartic and comforting experience. "Life is no game. Death is no game" – a powerful mantra that this show brilliantly conveys, leaving a lasting impact on its viewers.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
something different from other kdramas
When a man at the end of his rope tries to take his life, he's confronted with Death. As punishment for taking his life so lightly, Death forces him to go through 12 different lives — with 12 impending gruesome deaths. The only way he'll be able to save himself is if he survives Death's game. A man who chooses to end his life is plucked by Death and thrown into a game. As he experiences twelve different bodies, he gains a new perspective on living. While some people are monsters with no redeemable qualities, others are pitiful individuals who were dealt bad hands. After experiencing the world through other people’s eyes, Death presents our protagonist with a second chance, but whether or not he takes it is up to him.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
