The thread is open, @GB.
Here are some gifs of Lee JaeWook. You all know I like this actor — not personally, because I don’t know anything about him — but artistically so I’ll post gifs of him. Lol.
What episode was he on? I’ll watch that. 🙂
Enjoy the show!
Thanks so much @pkml3! I like both the Jae Wooks, Lee and Kim. Add to that Episode 5 has Kim Ji Hoon too.
A word of WARNING on Ep 5 … I know some of us don’t take too well to violence and gore… Just know that Ep 5 may not be easy to watch for some of us.
I will not post much until more people have watched more episodes.
@pkml3, the episode with Lee Jae Wook is a nice one… Episode 3 and he has a long segment with developments in the plot.
Episode 3? Noted!
Thanks, @GB.
You are most welcome @pkml3! I enjoyed LJW on my screen.
The other great episode was Ep 4.
Kalispera Ladies!
@Packmule3 thank you for the thread. I am going to watch Episode 5 now… 😁
@GB Unnie, I will come back tomorrow!
Kalispera !
Let me say this is an amazing show! All the cast gave stellar acting performances! I was blown away by how good everyone acted throught the series!
Seo In Guk and Park So Dam were amazing from start until the ending! Their synergy was so organic!
What to say about Kim Jae Wook and Oh Jung Se ? Both of them gave us faucets of their talent.
Kim Won Hae who made an unexpected cameo that was so beautiful?
Kim Ji Hoon for another time, I have wathed the movie Ballerina on Netflix and I know that some of you wouldn’t handle it because of its violence, gave a performance that shuttered what people’s believe about him because he is a pretty face! I truly believed he was a psychopath with a God’s syndrome!
Now, let’s focus to the amazing woman and actress that Kim Mi Kyung really is! What a mindblowing perfomance! So very effortlessly she gave us the wailing and the grief, the sorrow and the heartbreak of losing your (only) child. I truly admire her. She is to be studied for her subtle way of giving such a performance!
Also, uri Go Youn Jung, is becoming a very good actress and here she also shined! I am so proud of her!
Everyone who acted from part 1 to part 2 gave their best self.
We wouldn’t come to these performances if the first ones were not that up to the point. Choi SiWon, Sung Hoon, Kim Kang Hoon, Jang Seung Jo, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Do Hyun made us invested to the story and we were anxious to see what it will happen next to the story in Part 2.
Ha Byung Hoon director and jakkanim did an amazing job with the Death’s Game Webtoon. He made a drama where everything is mind blowing and far paced. He knows his craft that is for sure! I am going to check his previous works as well!
I think that 2024 started with a Bang ! Let us watch more beautiful stories ahead!
I started to watch episode 5, realized it is a lot like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so I threw in the towel. I cannot watch gruesome/bloody/amputations, etc. I ended up skipping ahead and watching only moments from the other episodes to see the other lives/deaths, then on the end to see what would ultimately happen. The final episode is touching and sad. But, overall, this show was not my cup of tea, given the level of violence. I miss being able to turn on a kdrama for escapism…
@pkml3, @Cleo, @WE, I finally got down to watching past the grisly, gruesome bits.
I agree with Cleo: it was fantastically good. I knew what Death had been scolding Yee Jae about from the beginning but what a way for him to finally find out. Mind-bendingly awesome.
Yes, all those actors were more than great. Even if their roles were small, they played their parts beautifully. They brought on the emotions so seemingly effortlessly.
There was just a little of the webtoon OTT-ness, but totally acceptable when taken with the quality of the entire series. I still felt that it would have been better to have aired all 8 episodes closer together in time, instead of making it a season 1 and 2.
If time is reset, I wonder if those killers will get caught, and some lives will get saved… like Ji Su’s. That will be for another tale!!!
We could do with an extra finale episode for this kind of show just 1 ep to wrap up the happier times. Grade A.
Hi. I ended the drama. But I was fully watching, immersed, and didn’t take notes.
There are many elements that resonnate into each others, because all incarnations are linked.
I noticed some amazing ideas: when he’s the cop and succed into trapping the bad guy after his parachute fall, he explains his plan. And we see him with every face he lived before. What give some additional apparition to all the excellent actors we got before.
The director created a big red-herring, making us believe that he would be incarnated last in the bad guy, now in vegetative state the rest of his life. And he couldn’t even commit suicide.
It was really weird when he incarnates in the first guy, commiting suicide on the street in episode 1. Until now, Death didn’t used time travel. But it’s also a foreshadowing, making the ending acceptable, as there is also time travel (or sort-of).
Incarnation in mother was really surprising, because until know, he always incarnated into other men.
The ending (last scene) is abrupt. It looks like a movie ending, not a drama one. Alas we didn’t have more loving scenes with Ji Su. Episode 4 remains my favorite, it reached an insurpassable peak.
Kalispera @We !
The ending was exactly how it ended on the Webtoon.
Although @GB Unnie asked for an extra episode, I guess that was out of the question.
Some people are wondering if the History will repeat itself. I guess in some cases most likely, in others not. I mean Tepenim was a psychopath who was bribing others to come clean. Only if something would change then he would be brought to justice for his crimes.
Could YJ do something about it? I think he will live his life with his loved ones trying to make the best of it.
I haven’t read on MDL if the Webtoon had an extension about what happened afterwards.
@Cleo, hello.
We know nothing about the end:
– does he forget the memories of the different lifes? So what’s change is only he doesn’t choose suicide?
– or he’s now a super-expert man with many talents from previous life. Then does he choose to fight again the bad guy?
I don’t have time to copy-paste lines, but there is also a great message about enjoying life. Not dreaming of useless superficial things and choose first people we are close.
Some people say the drama gives the wrong idea about suicide. But I don’t think it’s a drama about suicide prevention or trying to generalize. It’s more the story of this guy, how he comes back to life, with some messages of confort.
Some plot-twists got me. I was sure the cop would die, then there is the spectacular plane scene. Ooops, something twisty here, what? Then he’s in the car on the road. Whhhhaaaat?? Surprise first, explain later, kha ha ha!! This always work for surprising twists.
Having some insomnia and came across this interview about the show. I haven’t watched it, but couldn’t resist the interview with some of my favourite actors 👁️🍬. Kim Jae Wook says that he will be in a drama with Lee Jae Wook.
Thanks @Fern! Wow to see those 3 guys together as themselves (so much handsome on the same screen!) is enjoyable. Just being regular people, hanging out, getting to know more about each other and speaking a bit about this show. It’s interesting that they consider this show as one they wanted to speak about in detail. It seems to have been something that wowed them as well! At the time of the interview, they do not seem to have seen Season 2 yet.
I like their camaraderie and genuine laughter.
Adding on to the video links to Seo In Guk with friends. Here he is with Park So Dam and we get to hear karaoke!
I took a look at the cast list afterwards. It was so star-studded. I was interested that In Seo Gook didn’t meet the others until later – they filmed separately – but that Kim Ji Hoon and Kim Jae Wook have been friends with for over 10 years and lived together in the military. I’ll also think of Kim Jae Wook as Sexy Trash from now on, although the translation isn’t quite the same. Perhaps Sexy Depraved or Sexy Mentally Unstable? He’s also going to be in a musical. I liked Kim Ji Hoon so much in Love to Hate You.
@GB, I watched part of the Karaoke episode as well, then got (finally) sleepy. Thanks for re-posting it here so I can find it whilst coffee runs in my veins.
@Fern, isn’t it fun to see celebrities just being themselves (more or less) in casual surroundings. It seems many of them can sing well enough to be in musicals!!!
Before I wrapped my head around the fact that lots of celebrities crossover from singing to dancing to acting and back and forth, and that they also performed in musicals, etc, I was blown away by the seeing someone whom I knew as an actor in a musical and vice versa. It’s great that so many people are multi-talented and able to contribute/enjoy themselves, in more than one of the performing arts.
