"Naughty boy, your life is falling apart in front of your eyes, you can't catch a break, you are depressed, there is not end in sight to the misery you feel, and , yet,you are not considerate of feelings of people around you?!?!? How dare you? Their feelings are more important than yours!" This is, in short, what Death wants our hero to understand.

I am a bit undecided now: the ending was not really to my liking, though it is a positive one: it reminded me too much of the shock I felt when I watched Tunnel. Everything was rebooted, he went back to the beginning, so all the running around trying to outsmart the murderers was for naught?!?

The main character, depressed and at the end of the tether, commits suicide. He is met in the afterlife by Death who offers him twelve chances, lives of soon dying people, to beat her, i.e. death. While he fights for survival and gets repeatedly murdered, he realizes: 1 that all those lives are connected to a serial killer and 2, life is precious not only to the person living it but also to all those who love them! Eventually he wins the chance to repent and continue living his own life.

The cast was amazing. But the characters were just cliché: rich chaebol heir who can buy his way out of every trouble, poor people willing to do anything to get out of poverty, some brave and a lot of corrupt policemen, poor brave mother, long suffering girlfriend.....One problem with the cast is that I did not find convincing the 60 yr old actress (a very very good actress) playing the 30yr old version of her character!

Cinematography was stunning in the parts with the Death: the doors to hell looked like an upside down christian cross. The killer often went to church as well, so I guess the religion plays a bit part in creating this universe: sin, repentance, belief....

This was a great watch, bloody and gripping but with the reboot happening in the end, what was the point of getting the serial killer when he is eventually still free. It looks unfinished since he is back at the moment of his death when the serial killer had not been discovered yet. There is definitely one episode missing! Or they did it on purpose so we can decide ourselves where the story goes on from there?
It is a story of how a society you live in puts goals in front of young people who are forced to achieve them or perish because shamed...
