Premiere Watch: Death’s Game

Time slot: Fridays [Part 1 on 12/15; Part 2 on 1/5]
Broadcaster: TVING
Genre: Fantasy, thriller, action, noir
Episode count: 8

Reasons to watch: As if the thought of Seo In-gook and Park So-dam acting opposite each other wasn’t enough to get one excited, the ensemble cast — most playing our hero’s many forms — includes (but is not limited to): Kim Jae-wook, Lee Jae-wook, Kim Ji-hoon, Sung Hoon, Lee Do-hyun, Choi Siwon, Go Yoon-jung, Jang Seung-jo, and Oh Jung-se. *takes a minute* Our story is something of a fantasy horror, but it also has a strong moral lesson at its core — or at least that’s the vibe they’re giving: Seo In-gook must learn to value the life he held so lightly by trying to stay alive in several different reincarnations of himself. The buzz is high, the premiere is nigh, and thank goodness the second half of the drop has already been scheduled.

TL;DR: Amazing ensemble cast in a dark story about death, life, and do-overs

Your comment was funny but the one on the far left doesn’t even look like him. That person looks a bit like V.
Where is SIG for real?

I am now confused. I didn’t find him initially. Then I thought the far left was him after reading the comment. Now I go back and zoom in, that CANT be him!!!???

Yeah, honestly it was kind of a legit question because I wasn’t sure! So I searched for “death’s game premiere event” and found a closer picture and I think it must be…

What’s happened to poor SIG? Those pants’ legs are mortifying. Your OG comment will never get old no matter who is on the far left of that picture!

It’s an absolute crime made worse when he has to stand next to all his co-stars who looked gorgeous. Maybe he can ask SUNG hoon tips for revenge against the stylist.

They should have made the tie ridiculously large too in order to own the concept of a kiddie playing dress up in his daddy’s suit. I think he’s 5’11” so that suit must have been made for someone a foot taller like an NBA player like Tim Duncan.

It's the curse of the 2023 fashion disaster for men known as "the year of clown suits." It's well documented on beanie fan walls 😂

I just don't understand fashion 😅
I saw the picture and I was like what are these outfits, they are tooooo ugly to be clothes

🤣🤣🤣 why is he dressed like that?! Didn't the stylist have time to tailor tbe voluminous pants? Is that his way to catch attention from the other actors?

Thanks for helping in identifying SIG. What a horror.

Oh no why is this a two parter but the gap is not ridiculous. This is one I will follow the weecaps and dip in when I know it’s safe to do so. Intrigued as to what they will keep and what will be changed as it could go funny dark as that would keep the element of the webtoon that made me keep going only missing out on one or two really dark character’s storylines.

They could just release it as normal. 2 episode per week. I do not understand the 2 part thing with 3 weeks apart either.

Kinda obsessed with how Go Yoon-jung is half a foot shorter than everyone else in the cast. Stars, they're just like us (me).

Also, oh my god, is that my child Kim Kang-hoon in the middle??!? Kids grow up so fast 🥺.

Btw, the Korea Herald reported recently that the current average height for Korean men is 173cm. As we know, many actors and Kpop singers are not representative in this regard.

Yeah that sounds about right. Typical difference in the realities between celebrities and us 'regular' folk.

It's something to watch these child actors grow before our eyes. Soon, he may be playing second leads and main leads.

Bingo! I see all 4 episodes in Amazon prime. A simple search of ‘Death’s game’ and it was first in the list. What a miracle that the search function worked 🥲

The character I am really interested in is being played by Lee Jae-wook, according to DEATH’s GAME Wikipedia page, he plays
“Jo Tae-sang: an aspiring martial arts player who gave up his dream due to his poor family background and being imprisoned for some reason.”.
I loved LJW’s arc in MOVE TO HEAVEN (yes he was in MTH) where he played a young boxer that Lee Je-hoon (former professional boxer) took under his wing. LJW obviously trained because he looked great and his boxing scenes were excellent as were LJH’s.
So in DG he will be playing an aspiring martial artist. If he trained like he did for MTH I am anticipating some great action scenes with LJW.

SIG got the day off from the Monte Cristo Musical. Where is Kim Sung Cheol? Kim Ji-hoon kept his mane of glory. 👏

Right? He is sageuk ready. He would have been a good match for Honey Lee. They are both in their early 40s.
