Drama Review: Death’s Game
Spoilers ahead! If you haven’t watched Death’s Game yet, stop reading and go watch this series first. I assure you, you’ll not be disappointed.
I just finished watching part two of this drama last January 07 (Sunday). It is one of the best dramas based on a Webtoon that I’ve watched after Moving. I regret not reading the Webtoon first (because I tend to compare it with the drama version). Maybe if I have the time, I’ll squeeze it on top of the other Webtoon that I’m reading.
I already knew it’s going to be amazing when they announced the cast. Seo In-Guk plays the protagonist while Park So-Dam plays Death. Since I have no idea about the other casts and which characters they play, watching this drama was like opening a present— you’ll never know what you’ll get. I was not let down by their performances— each of them portrayed their character’s so well. I especially liked Lee Jae-wook’s acting here. I was so amazed how well he act here that I had to replay some scenes twice (even thrice!). I also need more action scenes from him! I was also surprised with Seo In-Guk’s acting especially that part in episode 6 where he started laughing as soon as he died in Park Tae-U’s hands the second time (that serial killer played by Kim Jae-Wook). He laughed maniacally while a single tear falls. What. A. Scene. I must have replayed it thrice because he was so good on that part. Everyone was amazing!
I’m not sure about how it ended in the Webtoon but, I really liked the ending of this drama and I’m satisfied with how it ends. It also conveyed an important lesson about life and death. It is a wake up call to me— a reminder that death is not the end of everything. There will be days when the world felt unfair, days when I felt hopeless, days when I felt alone and wanted to give up. I hope to always remind myself to trudge on with life even if it’s hard. To remind myself that I can always turn my bad days a little bit better.
To remember that there is only one ME in this world.
You really can’t say you’re living when you live in constant fear. But since I was a coward, I always lived in constant fear. Afraid that the world wouldn’t recognize my worth, that I would fall behind my peers, and that I would be rejected, I ended up taking my own life due to this fear before my life could even blossom. I only realized after dying that life in itself was an opportunity. And the pain that I thought engulfed my whole life was only a small part of it. A clear day. A rainy day. A windy day. I learned that life was made up of these different days. And that it was okay to fail as long as I kept going.
