Un succès dont je me demande la source...
« Death’s Game » fait partie pour moi de ces nombreux dramas dont je ne comprends pas la popularité… Si le concept est intéressant, [c’est pas tous les jours que tu vois un personnage vivre 12 morts + 1 (la sienne) !] la mise en pratique m’a semblé laborieuse…J’adore Seo In-Guk mais franchement… Son personnage est vraiment… Un égocentrique… Doublé d’un idiot ! Comment est-ce possible d’être aussi centré sur lui-même ? Finalement dans cette seule et unique partie que j’ai visionné… Il ne s'intéresse qu'à l’argent ou à ses propres intérêts… Pour quelqu'un qui ne souhaitait que la mort… Alors certes, sa vie n’était pas la plus belle… Mais je considère que son peu d’évolution dans ces 4 épisodes est particulièrement horrible. Il est vraiment compliqué de s’attacher à une telle personnalité…
Après, si je n’ai pas accroché à l’histoire, je reconnais le talent des nombreux acteurs présent dans ce récit.
Vous vous doutez bien qu’étant donné mon peu d’intérêt pour cette partie & ayant lu qu’en prime ça tournait en rond dans la deuxième, je ne me lancerai pas plus loin dans cette aventure.

Déception
C'est une bonne série... "Mais"...Le postulat de départ est intéressant. Un jeune homme désemparé meurt, rencontre la mort et se voit attribué 12 autres vies (autant que sur cadran d'une horloge; décompte qui tourne dans le sens inverse des aiguille d'une montre, j'ai aimé ce détail).
J'ai trouvé que chaque vie soit interprétée par un acteurs différent (jolie performance de certains d'entre eux d'ailleurs, pour caler au tempérament du perso de départ).
j'ai aussi aimé que le personnage principal soit un peu désagréable (une tête à claque parfois). Et la mort est sympathique (^^) et le méchant est grandiose !
Par contre, j'ai clairement eut l'impression de visionner un spot publicitaire du ministère de la santé public coréen !
"Non, ne vous suicidez pas, c'est mal !" et si c'est pas le ministère de la santé, c'est l'église (catholique ou autre)
Il est vrai qu'en Corée du Sud, comme dans tous les pays occidentalisés, le taux de suicide ne cesse d'augmenter. Je comprends que ce soit un problème (ça fait désordre). Mais là, le message de propagande est un peu trop martelé, ça m'a totalement gâché la série.
Voilà pourquoi je ne mets pas une bonne note alors que la production est plutôt bonne (interprétation, prise de vue, effet spéciaux). Bref bonne série, mais que je ne regarderai pas une seconde fois (sauf cas d'ennuis profond)

Now that is an interesting adaptation
I have read the webtoon but the drama made it so much better. I am glad that they did not faithfully follow the webtoon but instead changed it a little to make the story flow better. The connection of the reincarnations to one person wasn't in the webtoon but was a welcome inclusion.As expected, Lee JaeWook and Lee DoHyun slayed in their roles. I was quite surprised that Yoo InSoo would fit and play his character as the weak bully so well since I never imagined he could be like that at all. He really is the kind of actor that embodies the characters he play. I loved him in Alchemy of Souls, love-hate him in The Good Bad Mother, and utterly hated him in this drama.
I never thought that they would release only the first part of the drama so I am quite disappointed right now but still they chose a great cliff hanger. I hope they release the second part soon.

More than words can tell
I waited all year for this drama, and I can say that this wait was welcome. I don't regret having to wait, because all the expectations I had were fulfilled and even more than that, Seo Inguk and Park Sodam were incredible, and I can understand why I love them. They are actors who make your drama have another level And, in addition, the story told, I can say that it is incredible and to this day I don't have words to say my feelings about this drama because they are more than words can tell.The construction of the characters through other lives and also the construction of the protagonist's girlfriend makes people watching understand what led him to commit suicide and also understanding all the regret is very good because we have a vision that we cannot judge.
End the end of the 4th Episode gives us another vision of everything that has happened so far, it makes us question ourselves about everything we have seen so far and what could happen is a little indecipherable. We don't know how the protagonist can overcome death, but we know a path he can follow, maybe it's not enough for him to live, but maybe after all he just wants revenge and not to live.

Mind you, this is just the first part!
Death's Game is a mind-bending show that had me hooked from the start.
So, Choi Yi Jae's life is in shambles, and just when he thinks it can't get worse, Death herself shows up with a twisted game. As Choi faces death repeatedly in 12 different lives, the storyline takes unexpected turns, making you question the value of life itself. In just 4 episodes the series brilliantly explores the ripple effect of one person's choices on the lives of others.
Of course, the top-notch cast delivers performances that keep you glued to the screen,
and the cameos are a delightful addition, giving their best performances.
Death's Game is not just about survival; it's a poignant reflection on the impact we have on those around us, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for a unique blend of suspense, drama, and a touch of existential questioning.
Now Im so ready for the second part.
I might need a box of tissue.

Philosophy and Penalties of Death
This drama is dark with a philosophical take on what it means to take your own life and the value of life itself. I felt it took a strong opinionated approach on the value and the meaning of a life despite how trapped, sad, and dire one's circumstances are. In a world that is becoming increasingly hyper competitive with the sociopathy of capitalism , more socially isolating but at the same time hyper socially connected in ways that can be superficial and heightens the loneliness we feel with our comparative social standing to others, the protagonist is a victim of these circumstances. He runs into a series of misfortune and mishaps for years, he seems to be unable to catch a break and feels stuck in a life where he is constantly hustling in several lowly paid and low status jobs while his youth is being sucked away from him. All he wanted was to make a decent living in a real job, marry his girlfriend and have a family but it seems even that "middle class dream" is out of reach. What is a man to do when he is grinded down to the point where he sees no hope, no future worth living for?The drama seems to take a hard stance or at least Death does when she puts the protagonist through a series of tests in the bodies and lives of different people from all walks of life who are destined to meet their end unless the protagonist can figure a way to avert death. If he averts death, he can have his chance to live again. Death raises the questions: Was it a selfish decision he made to take his life? Did he consider the impact on his loved ones? Did he take his life for granted? While he took his life, there were others who had no free will when their lives abruptly ended.
The acting is good, the ML has taken unconventional roles in the previous dramas and the FL as Death was in Parasite. It also has an unconventional approach where the ML reincarnates into different people, multiple actors take the lead in different storylines.
The storyline is incredibly fast paced, engaging, and at times difficult to stomach with its traumatic dark themes.

torn between loving and loathing this show.
On one hand, i want to give 10 stars for the incredible directing, acting, set design and interesting plot. On the other i want to give 1 star because of how tone deaf this show is sometimes.Killing yourself is NOT a sin/evil/selfish. I think it is harmful to portray it that way. Especially since most suicidal people just don't kill themselves because their life is a little hard, they kill themselves because living is more painfull than death and because they are MENTALLY ILL. They often don't think rationally, they don't make sense to a rational person that doesn't want to die. They also think the living are better off WITHOUT them.
Not only that, ML has a support system. Many people do not have that. Telling suicidal people to live on because they have "loved ones" is naive. Not everyone has a support system and getting one can be very hard (especially when you are poor/homeless/are in an abusive situation etc.)
I hated that they changed Death's reason from the webtoon. In the webtoon, death didn't care that he killed himself, she was just pissed off that he called her "a means to an end" and unimportant, so she wanted to show the ML how powerfull she really is. I don't get why they changed that and forced some boring christianity-plot into it.
So all in all, i love everything but the preachy "other peoples lives are worse than yours, stop complaining" aspect.

REGRET WILL ALWAYS COME AT THE END
If you choose to commit suicide, please watch this series ... this series is an illustration that "REGRET WILL ALWAYS COME AT THE END"The only thing I have to say is everyone and I emphasize it "EVERYONE" must watch this series atleast once. It's not very lengthy it won't take so much of your time but you'll learn something so great, and I think anyone who watches will have their own different take on it (ik it'd be beautiful), but I would say again this is something everyone should watch once.
I loved it and I feel so different and grateful for everything.
There's alot of Moral of this drama
No matter how hard is your life don't commit suicide, value your life, there's no second chance, You don't think about others around you how everyone care's for you.
Everyone have problem in their life no one is happy
Be strong (stop yourself from getting bullied by others)
You want to be like someone else (But they are also suffering from crisis)

Stellar casting, meh drama
In the end, the casting saved the show from. An otherwise patronising show.I'm so tired of school bullying scenes, I skipped that episode entirely.
The first half was more balanced, then it abruptly be one a crime show.
Kim Ji Hoon gets typecast as the villain too much, and his "crazy eyes routine" are not effective anymore, expecially when border parody, like in this instance.
You could tell Kim Jae Wook and Park So Dam were having a lot of fun in their part.
Oh Jung-se gets the most screen time so we get to empathise a bit more with him.
What it left in the end is the crazy moto chase and the serial killers duel.

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.
