The Story
An unemployed man is overcome by his unhappy life circumstances and decides to take his own life. But instead of dying, he finds himself face to face with a spirit called death. Angry that he would look for death before his appointed time, she punishes him by sending him into the bodies of 12 different people who are all about to die. If he can find a way to keep them alive, he can live on in their body but if he fails to keep any of them alive, he will be sent to Hell. And as he experiences life through the eyes of the bodies he inhabits, he begins to understand that life itself is a privilege that should not be squandered. But saving their lives proves harder than he expected.
Should I Watch
“Death’s Game” is a fantasy drama that focuses on our struggle to live despite pain and adverse conditions. Wow! I really enjoyed this drama for its phenomenol cast and the original and unpredictable story. Even storylines that seemed to fall outside of the main theme get wound back into the central storyline in unique and exciting ways. If you haven’t picked up on it through the title or descriptions of this drama, death is central to this story. So if topics of death and suicide are triggers for you, please proceed with caution. There are those that felt that the opinions about suicide in this drama lean more toward blaming the main character instead of presenting any kind of solution or social commentary on the problems that brought him there in the first place. For me, I loved the uplifting message that, regardless of the hardships we face, life should always be seen as a gift. I give “Death’s Game” a 10 out of 10 ramen.
