Death’s Game (2023) [ENG/ESP]
ENGLISH
Greetings @movies&tvshows community, today I come to comment on a k-drama that I do not understand how I did not see it at the time of its release, not only has a story that keeps you hooked and with diverse and deep themes, also with different outcomes that lead you to reflection.
Death’s Game ( 이재, 곧 죽습니다)…
Based on Lee Won-sik and Ggulchan's webtoon of the same name, it was released in December 2023 under the direction of Ha Byung-hoon. In it, you can see the participation of different high caliber actors and actresses including Seo In-guk, our main character, Park So-dam, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Do-hyun, Kim Jae-wook and others.
Synopsis…
The plot begins with the suicide of young Choi Yi-jae, who between the search for his job, breaking up with his girlfriend and other problems that were added to him, lead him to feel and express that "death is the only solution" to all the bad things that happened to him. However, this causes him to face Death itself, who is angry for having called her before she came to him.
This action he took, Death considered it a lack of respect towards herself, so she imposed a punishment, a game, where he would be reincarnated in 12 people, whose destinies would already be marked by an early death and, if he manages to avoid this fatality in the life he possessed, he could be saved and keep that body.
But what events will await Yi-jae? Because he can never imagine the body he will end up in, let alone the death that awaits him and the people who will be involved in those lives.
Personal opinion…
Death's Game has an amazing casting, each actor and actress who participated in this series gave us splendid interpretations of the characters in question, with tense and emotional scenarios that unfold splendidly in what the story wants us to understand at each point that touches on life, relationships and opportunities.
! [SPOILER ALERT]
A story of a selfish man who is dragged into the bodies of others and lives through the different deaths that await them, only to learn the lesson that life is an opportunity and that every action will bring its consequences. That, in the end, his death was only the beginning of a chain of events that will end up affecting those closest to him.
It is no secret that South Korea is a country cataloged and criticized for its high suicide rate, so this K-drama is a clear reflection on the measures to be taken regarding the situations that plague their society: bullying, child abuse, depression... Although not only this country has this problem, all over the world this reality is more common than you might think.
This series reminded me of a guy who recently committed suicide, I did not know him, I knew his story because he studied at the same university I graduated and what he wrote on social networks, really made many people cry, including me. Depression is a delicate issue and should not be taken lightly, there are cases that show no signs and others give a cry for help, but no one realizes it, it is not easy to see life as an opportunity, but death will never be a solution.
There are moments in the series that make you reflect a lot, for example when death shows the protagonist hell and he, frightened does not want to go there, she refutes him saying that: "humans claim to live in a hell, but they can't stand the real hell", as he complained about everything that happened is his life, claiming that he lived a hell and did not see that really all those problems were only a small part of what surrounded him, there are rainy days and other sunny days, but that's life, a constant fluctuation of various emotions that makes us appreciate the small moments.
! [SPOILER ALERT]
It also gives us to understand how complex and contradictory is the nature of the human being, we are so selfish that we forget about those around us and that the decisions we make affect us in some way. At the end the protagonist understands that living in constant fear is not living, I loved this, because how many times we do not dare to do or say something just because of fear, this emotion is the beginning and the indicator of much better things, do not let yourself be governed by it, but let it pass through you.
Positive points…
Splendid narration, fluid and without so much clutter. Well-done performances and scenery.
Negative points…
I would have liked to see a little of what happened after the end.
Score I give it…
10/10 Story │ 10/10 Performances │ 9/10 Sound │ 9/10 Stage │ 10/10 Overall.
"Death is just the beginning", your actions and decisions will be repaid both in life and death. A series that explores the various situations that are not only triggered in South Korea, the whole world is determined by factors that harm people's mental health. Also, it shows us that, although we are individuals who differ from each other, the experiences we live through are similar and somehow connect us.

Saludos comunidad de @movies&tvshows, hoy les vengo a comentar sobre un k-drama que no entiendo como es que no lo vi en el momento de su estreno, no solo cuenta con una historia que te mantiene enganchado y con temas diversos y profundos, además con distintos desenlaces que te llevan a la reflexión.
Death’s Game ( 이재, 곧 죽습니다)…
Basado en el webtoon de Lee Won-sik y Ggulchan, que lleva el mismo nombre, estrenado en diciembre del 2023 y estuvo bajo la dirección de Ha Byung-hoon. En él, se puede apreciar la participación de diferentes actores y actrices de gran calibre entre ellos a Seo In-guk, nuestro protagonista, a Park So-dam, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Do-hyun, Kim Jae-wook y otros más.
Sinopsis…
La trama comienza con el suicidio del joven Choi Yi-jae, quién entre la búsqueda de su trabajo, el terminar con su novia y otros problemas más que se le fueron agregando, conllevan a que sienta y exprese que “la muerte es la única solución” a todo lo malo que le acontecía. Sin embargo, esto ocasiona que se enfrente a La Muerte misma, quien esta enojada por haberla llamado antes de que ella llegara a él.
Dicha acción que él tomo, La Muerte la consideraba una falta de respeto hacia ella misma, por lo que le impondrá un castigo, un juego, donde reencarnaría en 12 personas, cuyos destinos ya estarían marcados por una muerte pronta y, si logra esquivar dicha fatalidad en la vida que poseyera, se podrá salvar y quedarse con dicho cuerpo.
Pero, ¿Qué sucesos le esperará a Yi-jae? Porque nunca se podrá imaginarse en el cuerpo que terminará y mucho menos la muerte que le espera y las personas que se verán involucradas en esas vidas.
Opinión personal…
Death’s Game tiene un casting alucinante, cada actor y actriz que fue participe de esta serie nos entrego esplendidas interpretaciones de los personajes en cuestión, con escenarios de tensión y emotivos que se desenvuelven espléndidamente en lo que la historia nos quiere hacer entender en cada punto que toca sobre la vida, las relaciones y las oportunidades.
! [ALERTA SPOILER]
Una historia de un hombre egoísta que es arrastrado a cuerpos de otros y vivir las diferentes muertes que les espera, solo para aprender la lección de que la vida es una oportunidad y que cada acción traerá sus consecuencias. De que, al final su muerte fue solo el inicio de sucesos en cadena que terminará por afectar a sus más allegados.
No es un secreto que Corea del Sur, es un país catalogado y criticado por su alto índice de suicidio, por lo que este K-drama es un reflejo claro sobre las medidas a tomar referentes a las situaciones que embargan a su sociedad: el bullying, el maltrato infantil, la depresión… Aunque no solo este país tiene ese problema, en todo el mundo acontece dicha realidad que es más común de lo que podría creerse.
Esta serie me recordó a un chico que se suicido hace poco, no lo conocí, supe de su historia porqué estudió en la misma Universidad que me gradué y lo que escribió en redes sociales, de verdad hizo llorar a muchos, incluida. La depresión es un tema delicado y que no debe tomarse a la ligera, hay casos que no muestran indicio y otros dan un grito de auxilio, pero nadie se da cuenta, no es fácil ver la vida como una oportunidad, pero la muerte nunca será una solución.
Hay momentos de la serie que te hacen reflexionar mucho, por ejemplo cuando la muerte le muestra al protagonista el infierno y él, atemorizado no desea ir allá, ella le refuta diciendo que: “los humanos dicen vivir en un infierno, pero no pueden soportar el verdadero infierno”, pues el se quejaba de todo lo que pasaba es su vida, afirmando que vivía un infierno y no veía que realmente todos esos problemas solo eran una pequeña parte de lo que le rodeaba, hay días lluviosos y otros soleados, pero así es la vida, una constante fluctuación de diversas emociones que nos hace apreciar los pequeños momentos.
! [ALERTA SPOILER]
También nos da entender lo complejo y contradictorio que es la naturaleza del ser humano, somos tan egoísta que nos olvidamos de los que nos rodean y que las decisiones que tomemos afectaron de algún modo. Al final el protagonista comprende que vivir en constante miedo no es vivir, esto me encantó, porque cuantas veces no nos atrevemos hacer o decir algo solo por miedo, está emoción es el comienzo y el indicador de cosas mucho mejores, no te dejes gobernar por el mismo, sino que traspase a través de ti.
Puntos positivos…
Una narración esplendida, fluida y sin tanto rollo. Actuaciones y escenarios bien hechos.
Puntos negativos…
Me hubiese gustado ver un poco de lo que paso después del final.
Puntaje que le doy…
10/10 Historia │ 10/10 Actuaciones │ 9/10 Sonido │ 9/10 Escenario │ 10/10 General
“La muerte es solo el comienzo”, tus acciones y decisiones serán retribuidos tanto en vida como muerte. Una serie que explora las diversas situaciones que no solo se desencadena en Corea del Sur, el mundo entero se ve determinado por factores que perjudican la salud mental de las personas. También, nos adentra a que, aunque somos individuos que difieren unos con otros, las experiencias que vivimos son similares y de algún modo nos llegan a conectar.

Ohh este tema me llama bastante la atención, voy a anotarla en mi lista de series por ver y que conste que no soy fan de los K-dramas pero este creo que vale la pena. Me gustó leer tu opinión, gracias por advertir los spoilers, me los salté jajaja, saludos! 💕
Oh estas tienes que verla, más allá de involucrar lo que es la sociedad y cultura coreana, tiene un trasfondo que llega. Es muy buena y todo llega a su punto. Gracias por leer mi post 😊
Oh these you have to watch it, beyond involving what is Korean society and culture, it has an undertone that reaches. It's very good and everything hits the spot. Thanks for reading my post 😊
Wow... You did a good job in your review of this Kdrama. I remember watching Death's Game when it was released and the show got me thrilled from start to finish.
The Deaths were horrifying. Do you recall the parents that killed their own child? It's awful.
With each new life, I wondered how far he would go in his attempt to escape death. And with the coming of each death, I kept wondering about the body he would jump into in his next life.
The show is wholesome. It would be interesting to see more thrilling kdramas like these.
Each death is also an adrenaline rush to the heart and the anticipation to see what the next life will be was high and frightening. The baby's death was one of the ones I mourned, because these are cases that occur more often than one can imagine. Thank you very much. Tomorrow also touches on suicide and several chapters touch the heart, that one is also good 😉.
Cada muerte también es una adrenalina al corazón y la expectativa de ver cual es la próxima vida eran altas y atemorizantes. La muerte del bebé fue una de las que lloré, porque son casos que se presentan más seguidos de lo que uno puede imaginarse. Muchas gracias. Tomorrow toca también el tema del suicidio y varios capítulos tocan al corazón, esa también es buena. 😉
Oh, Yeah! You know your Kdramas. Haha.
I watched Kdrama when it came it out and the casts for the show was the first thing that drew me to it. The concept for the show also seemed interesting. But when I started watching it, each case that was handled by the afterlife agency got supper deep and very emotional.
Koreans really have a way of pulling our emotional strings with their Kdrama projects. This is exactly why I've been mostly watching Kdramas since 2009/2010
Oh yes 😅 I have seen from goblin, work proposal, to wonderful world, Big Mouse, uffss quite a lot and I still have the list to watch a few. Truly the Koreans have a way of conveying and the actors 10/10 with their performances. And definitely Tomorrow is a drama that should be more appreciated.
Oh si 😅 he visto desde goblin, propuesta laboral, hasta wonderful world, Big Mouse, uffss bastante y aun tengo la lista para ver unas cuantas. De verdad los coreanos tienen una forma de transmitir y los actores 10/10 con sus interpretaciones. Y, definitivamente, Tomorrow es una drama que debe ser más valorado.
That's a very spectacular Kdrama list. I've watched a few of them and Mouse is one of those that gave me a completely unexpected plot twist. Wow! That show is crazy.
I'm currently looking forward to the airing of Red Swan. The show will start airing 3rd July. Haha.
Big Mouse fue un giro argumental demasiado, de 180°. No sabia esa de Red swam, ya sé para esperarla y verla en cuanto se emita. 😊
Big Mouse was too much of a plot twist, 180°. I didn't know that one about Red swam, I already know to look forward to it and watch it as soon as it airs. 😊
se ve buena e interesante!
looks good and interesting!
Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
