Seo In-guk as a down-on-his-luck jobseeker gives up on life, and is then condemned to die 12 more times, in a still from “Death’s Game”, a fast-paced fantasy-action webtoon adaptation.

Lead cast: Park So-dam, Seo In-guk

Park So-dam (Parasite) and Seo In-guk (Doom at Your Service) team up for the fantasy action-horror Death’s Game, an original series from the Korean streaming service TVing based on the popular webtoon Yi-jae Will Die Soon.

A down-on-his-luck jobseeker gives up on life and climbs on to the edge of a roof. But when he jumps off, death does not provide the sweet release he expected it to. An angry Grim Reaper decides to punish him for jumping the gun by making him experience what no human has to – going through death more than once.

In addition to his own death, he must now endure death 12 more times through the bodies of different people whose time is almost up, the catch being that, should he manage to prevent one of these deaths, he may continue to live in that body.

Easier said than done. Each reincarnation tends to start with the person in a rather precarious situation: a passenger in a plane that is about to explode, a man skydiving without a parachute, a baby in the hands of its murderous parents.
