So I'm so excited about Death's game. I really am. I remember reading the manhwa and every chapter had me gripping my phone in excitement.
But the only thing strange is that they cast Seo In Guk as Choi Yijae.
(Yes I'm sure he's going to deliver like he always does. And have you seen the cast? Man this is an expensive show! And each actor is going to play at max 2 episodes.)
Like Choi Yijae, at the beginning of the manhwa, was shown to be the most average of average guys. Not exceptional in any field.
Average height. Average looks. Not tall and not good looking. This fact, was put a lot of importance on, because it was an important part of his character.
And, I don't know... it's kind of really wrong 😂 that they cast *Seo In Guk* to play a guy that is "not tall and not good looking".

DEATH'S GAME: PART 1
GENRES: Drama, Supernatural
SUMMARY: Caught in a game of punishing resurrection, a man who took his own life tries to find meaning in hanging on.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Pillar demons, citron tea, hundreds of cover letters, finding meaning in the mundane, fated connections, bullies, prison, male models, car chases, MMA, chair-fighting, gut-wrenching regret, hopelessness, redemption, and a dizzying number of A-list celebrities.
HOT TAKE: Episode 4 of this show broke me, hard. Although the plot is simple and a bit repetitive, every single acting performance is stellar. The character connections made with each new story gives the overarching experience real depth and emotion, and I can't wait for the second part coming in 2024.

Death's Game
Started it today and ended it today. This 8 episode long series is too intense to leave it for later. I binged watched it like I haven't done so in a while. It is the kind of series that is best to go into it without knowing much, unless you read the webtoon. I haven't read it yet, but it's a really short webtoon so I think I will probably read it.
Anyway, this series is not for the fainted heart. It has a lot of triggers and it can be gruesome and gory in some points. However, if you don't mind it, watch it. It is really good. It keeps the audience in suspense and it makes us cry.
The cast did an amazing job! Each person felt like it was Yi Jae.

This is my favourite shot of Shin Jae Ha in the entirety of season 2.
As an actor myself, I can't stop thinking about it because - LOOK. He is insane for capturing all that on his face in one go. Do you see how it's brimming with conflict and visceral emotions that look only barely contained???
But that's not even the best part.
This scene is the climax of his character arc. And the fact that you already know before he's even said a word that THIS is the most tortured his character has ever felt, the fact that you can tell just by looking at him- at the unspilled tears in his eyes, the tension in his facial muscles, the abject grief in his brow- is flipping monumental. His character never had this look on his face before, not once in the 15 episodes before this. Ever.
And that tells me he lived and breathed as On Ha Jun from start to finish. He was mad for this role and I respect him so fucking much for that.
