Premiere Watch: Death’s Game
by missvictrix
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
