Is this worth a watch? HELL FKN YES!!!
I think every time I think about watching a show I search for the comment that in short tell me whether i should watch this show or not. so for all of you like me I will simply give you the answer.YES, THIS SHOW IS WORTH ALL THE HYPE!!!
To add more to it... Should I even talk about the casting? the cast is an absolute gold mine. I cannot stop talking about it. such excellent actors all in one drama. what else does a k dram fan girl need?
The story arc for each one of them is so well written. 10 on 10 if you ask me. The acting, chemistry between all the actors, pace of drama, everything is amazing!
TBH I walked into this one thinking its a normal fantasy based drama but the thrill this gave me.... I enjoy myself some dark stories but there were times where I literally shut my eyes or paused to breath first...... I loved every second of it!
With a powerful message, beautiful cinematography, editing, and a star studded cast this is MUST WATCH!

Part 1
Long time quite intrigued to watch this. Since now I'm a little bored with typical drama, so I decided to jump into this drama. Haha... Happy to watch this. Good drama with unusual story that's in the end help us self respect.People often said the biggest SIN is when u took ur own life. Yeah in here we can see how angry Death when face with the man, Choi Yi Jae (YJ), that took his own life. Death decided to give YJ punishment by having him go through 12 life that supposed to end up dead. With one condition, he can keep the man life if he can avoid their death. So he went from rich man, student, baby, guilty man and the end of this part famous model.
In this part we see how at first YJ angry to Death until he tried to hang on in the life of Jang Geon Woo. And also in the end of this part he finally saw the thread of connetion between all the man he lived as...
Really exciting to see the 2nd part. Thank God they aired directly after part 1....

Uniqness and perfection
We all know that the reincarnation stories is one of the most common ones on k-drama but even though, this one managed to make yet a unique plot over this Type and they made it well perfect on my opinion, me personally I've finished it on the same day become the story flowing was too smooth and perfect especially the first 4 episodes and with a real good message the result was a great series.And the cast did their job just right especially seo in guk.

the reality check in life
Honestly, I was skeptical of this drama at first but oh wow,this drama gave me such a reality check in my life that it is embarrassing now. first of all the cameo's in this drama made it so interesting and literal eye candy to watch and the love, family relations, and all the frustration the main lead goes through portrays a big slice of life, honestly, I agree with the fact this kind of dramas answers to the questions we don't like to acknowledge in life, the drama is well written with binge-worthy thriller, romance, action, drama. they round up the best cast for this show . It's such a short but meaningful drama that everyone should watch

DEFINITELY A GOOD WATCH
Too lazy to input dissected reviews for each episode like others but not too lazy to say that this deserves more recognition, if I had not stumbled this from the site that I am watching I would never have known the existence of this show. The concept is unique and the delivery from actors and production is so gooooood. Will highly recommend it.Cet avis était-il utile?
Glamorous cast, crazy stunts, $$$ production
It feels like a collection of famous actors visiting because there are 12 reincarnations. "Let's see how many famous people we can have for this drama." Just for the actors' appeal it's a must watch. Every single actor can act! Then there are the visuals/crazy stunts/production quality all top notch. Impressive for sure!I can't say the story has much depth as it revolves around the concept of "suicide is condemned therefore you have sinned."
That's how Korean Dramas are these days, pretty on the outside touching only the surface of society issues.
Just watch it for the actors and the stunts. It's entertaining overall.

Death's Game: Where Style Outplays Substance
"Death's Game" is a visually stunning K-drama that draws viewers in with its high production value and creative cinematography. The introduction is refreshingly concise, setting the stage without unnecessary exposition. The use of inventive camera angles, particularly the POV shots, adds a unique and engaging dimension to the viewing experience. These technical elements, combined with a parade of impressive guest appearances, make the show a feast for the eyes.While the production shines, the writing and storytelling fall into more conventional territory. The narrative is serviceable—neither groundbreaking nor particularly deep. It has its share of plot holes and moments that defy logic, but these flaws don’t detract too much from the overall experience. If anything, the show’s charm lies in its ability to keep things entertaining despite its narrative shortcomings.
The first part of the series stands out as stronger in terms of writing, setting a solid foundation before the second half loses some of its momentum. Even so, the show never stops being enjoyable. "Death's Game" leans heavily on its aesthetic appeal and star-studded cameos to keep audiences hooked, and it succeeds in that regard.
In the end, "Death's Game" isn’t a masterpiece of storytelling, but it’s undeniably fun to watch. If you’re looking for an eye-candy drama with creative visuals and an engaging cast, this one is worth a try. Just don’t expect it to redefine the genre.

Death's Game: Action-Packed Thrills with a Satisfying Finish
"Death's Game" captivated me from the start with its compelling mix of weak hero class and John Wick-style storytelling in the initial episodes. The highlight for me was the thrilling fight scenes that added a dynamic edge to the drama.What I really liked was how all the characters' stories connected, adding a cool layer to the drama.
While the second half didn't quite match the brilliance of the first four episodes, it maintained a good overall quality.
Overall, it's a binge-worthy show, and even though a Season 2 might not happen, I'm satisfied with how everything wrapped up. If there was more, I'd be curious to see where the story could go.

Side Character Stories are Fun!
I like the concept of this drama, even though the main plot is tragic. Also, death is very straightforward, and she never lies; I like that about her. Everything aside, I feel like Yee Jae should've had a grand scheme to survive because the only thing he thought of saving was the money and not the lives he got. He has six more lives to live in the second part, and it makes me wonder how he will utilize the chances he gets now. Just like Death said, he should stop being dumb now.Aside from that, out of his all lives, I liked the ex-convict's life because he seems to be more resilient and kind of smarter than the others.Plus he didn't get any chance in both his first two lives because they both were a few minutes from their death when he took over their bodies.

One powerful episode.
This show thrives off of one powerful episode. The casting was very good, but the writing ranged from why to wow. I finished the show feeling maybe the show will get good on episode 9. It had a lot of promise and I do not feel it lived up to it at any point besides episode 4.I honestly believe that the high rating is because of how powerful episode 4 was. It made me feel real emotion and gave me great hope in where the show was going. I was willing to forgive episodes 1-3 for feeling incomplete and consider them a lul to help make an impact for episode 4. In episode 5 I kind of got sucked into his feelings for a moment and then I was like why? The show should have been more than this. It could have been great a show to talk about for a long time and maybe bring in a fresh perspective on Korean dramas as a whole.
Instead, we get a show that for what it was trying to say felt incomplete and even worse the ending made me feel like what comes next would be the real show. I guess it fits the narrative of the character Death the end is just the beginning. In a way, I suppose the show can be praised for achieving that.
I truly feel the wasted potential in this drama and it makes me want to revisit it in the future. I doubt I will, do not want to feel this disappointment again. I do not know what other people are thinking, but from my perspective, this shows high ratings are all hinged on one episode. I think that shows how great it could have been, and worth giving it a watch once. I will give this a could have been great rating.

Great but weird
flow of the story is pretty good, how everything is connected is also good. premises, problem, and climax are pretty good too,every character is meaningful except the baby, i really don't understand why its there, mc doesn't seem to have gratitude problem. i don't know if those were addition or webtoon adaptation.
one thing that bugs me is the 'game' plot, the rule of how you can save yourself is weirdly mixed up or even contradictive as the story progressed, especially after part 2 later on. i might say there are no game whatsoever, its a losing game and outright punishment. which makes the ending questionable for me. I personally would have face any judgment with my heads up "i did my best, with every limits, ego and stupidity i have as a human". its not like the mc refuse to admit what he did is wrong nor he lives his life as an outright arsehole, he is not that desperate to make that request. if the game is a way to repent why suffer more ?, no guarantee that things will be better anyways
"death" says she gave a chance in the last scene. its weird that along the story she insist that she is no god and has no power over someone fate, her job is only to watch over the 'game''. and suddenly she plays god with giving mc a chance, if only they could think of a small detail that differs the usual "death" and the "death" mc saw in the last scene (eg hair/makeup), and the roulette is actually the judgment
im gonna be hated for this, but i think "death" actress kind of confused about her role, idk even she supposed to represent death but when i saw her acting 'fear' or 'intimidating' is not what i feel. it feels like iu in hotel de luna, cant say good or bad just not a fan of it.
