O Jogo da Morte

I'm happy I've been able to keep discovering new shows intermittently from South Korea. I watched a lot of SK horror and Park Chan-wook films for years before I even considered watching K-dramas. My experience of such were briefly gazing at the TVs in the jjimjilbang, which seemed constantly tuned to soap operas little old ladies were watching that looked no better than their American daytime television cousins. I dismissed K-drama as an art form as beholden to either the latter pattern, or alternately sappy shows for teens who are obsessed with pop stars.

Fortunately there are intriguing and entertaining shows like Death's Game. I'm hooked on this one, to my surprise I actually caught a series in process and cannot binge watch this drama at will. I have to wait until January for the next episode! I recommend you join me.

Park So-dam from Parasite plays Death, and she's wonderful.

Just when you thought you've seen everything,here comes a Kdrama that breaks every rule, by creating a situation never seen before in television...then turning said situation on its head. It has been said that in the catholic religion if someone commits suicide it means your automatically destined for hell, well in "Death's Game" it also means you are seeking an audience with the Grim Reaper, and Death thinks it's disrespectful to seek it out... so it punishes you by putting your poor soul into 12 different people that will inevitably die... all the while giving you hope that if you can some how beat said inevitable death you'll get a chance at life. Seems simple enough right? But you would be totally wrong if you think you can assume how all this will shake out. Worth it!

This drama is just amazing. I will say one of the best in this genre (fantasy). The fact that it's so unpredictable, cope with great scripts, amazing acting, that by itself make it a 10 out of 10 for me. Believe me, there is so much to its arsenal. Smart, gritty, bloody, heart warming, heart wrenching, to name a few. Oh yeah let's assemble one of the most diverse and powerful casting I've seen so far, in a Korean fantasy show. That ladies and gents, is a recipe for an instant classic.

I've watched 100s kdrama, never seen anything quite like it. So do yourself a favor, GO WATCH IT!!! And thank me later.

The script, the characters, the actors. Everything is amazingly great. There is not one logic error in the script and as a viewer you just want more of this series. I have been watching korean series for some time and they are really good. And this one is one of the best. Normally, I fastforward some of the series if it gets a little bit boring and I have watched Death's Game without any fastforwarding. I hope there will be other series with this quality. Strongly recommend this series to everyone. I gave this series 10. I would give more if it was possible to do so. Death's Game is one of the must watch series of korean tv series.

After the first half i knew it will be one of the best shows i seen.

After the second half i knew it was the best show i ever seen.

Why?

The qualities of it are clear From the writing to acting and directing and you know that from the other reviews.

But from me as it touch my heart, i can describe the experience like it beat me until i start crying like a little biby and i didn't mind it be couse it was a lesson a life lesson that will make you think about a lot of stuff in your life.

It's a masterpiece for sure, check it out and see by your self how people are deffirent and alike in the same time.
