《Death's Game》 Summ

Fantasy Korean drama《Death's Game》the battle sequence is too amazing. How can such an invincible cast be crammed into a drama?Because it not only has the male protagonist Seo In Guk on the stage, but also has 9 other male protagonists: Lee Dae-hyun, Lee Jae-wook, Choi Si-won, Kim Jae-wook, Oh Jung-se, Sung Hoon, Kim Ji-hoon, Kim Kang-hoon, and Jang Seung-jo. They all have to interpret the same character Choi Ik-jae.!

All of this is adapted from the comic - Death's Game - a super plot and concept. The story describes the experience of the male protagonist who dies unexpectedly and becomes someone else. Although he is reborn every time he dies, it all happens inIn the same world and timeline, that is to say, in the same life, the male protagonist keeps transforming into other people and living different lives, but everyone dies soon...

The plot of the comic tells the story of the 31-year-old male protagonist Cui Yicai, who suffered a tragic failure in employment and love, and finally made an extreme choice: committing suicide to end his failed life. Then, something strange happened. A mysterious existence suddenly appeared in the world.He said in front of him that he would welcome 13 different lives.

Later, in the process of continuous rebirth, Cui Yicai experienced different lives and deaths, gradually had a series of changes in his attitude towards death, and re-understood life and death.

And what’s interesting is that these 13 people in the same life will also affect each other in the process of Cui Yicai’s continuous reincarnations, appearing in each other’s world, causing the plots to be intertwined!As for the 13 rebirths in the comics, they are as follows:

The first rebirth of the rich third generation

The second rebirth kills the gangster man instantly

A junior high school student who was bullied for the third time

The 4th Rebirth of the Magician

5th rebirth of pedophile rapist

The 6th rebirth of a brother in the live streaming industry

The gangster who is about to be released from prison is reborn for the 7th time

The 8th rebirth of a handsome coffee shop clerk

The ninth rebirth of a serial killer

The timid detective is reborn for the 10th time

The 11th Rebirth of the Tramp

The 12th Rebirth of the Mountain Village Murderer

The 13th rebirth of mother

Because of this, after the death of the male protagonist, he will continue to start a new life with another person. However, the people possessed by him and reborn will also die soon, and the male protagonist will continue to change his appearance as he is reborn. No wonderThe TV series《Death's Game》needs so many big names to fill in the cast.

However, according to insiders, because the director and screenwriter Ha Byung-hun (《18 years old》Go Back couple《) adapted it very well, the plot of the TV series will not completely follow the comics, and the entire dramaThere are only 7 episodes, so the male protagonist will not appear in so many lives, which will be very different from ordinary reincarnation dramas.

Choi Ik-jae, played by Seo In-guk, is an unemployed young man who has been unable to find a job for 7 years. He has achieved nothing, but his girlfriend of 6 years married someone else just 3 months after leaving him. In addition, he failed in the job interview again.So he chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building and end his life.

But the God of Death felt that he was too contemptuous of death, so he was punished by having to experience death many times to feel the weight and pain of death.As a result, every time he dies, he will enter the next body that is about to die and experience the death of different people. If he wants to live, he must find a way to avoid death in that person's body.

It is conceivable that Cui Yicai just couldn't do it, so he experienced death and rebirth again and again.As for Seo In Guk, who plays the male protagonist, coincidentally, he has a tear mole just like the male protagonist in the original comic. I wonder if the director chose him for this reason?

In addition, because the male protagonist's own story is about living someone else's life after committing suicide, Seo In-guk will only act from beginning to end at the beginning of the series, and every subsequent unit (each rebirth) will be based on the life of each life.Faces appear. As for Seo In-guk himself, his face only appears at the beginning and end of each unit.

Park So-dam plays the mysterious being Death (DEATH) who is in charge of the trial of Choi Ik-jae and is about to fall into hell. He is angry at Choi Ik-jae's contempt for death, so he decides to punish him.

This character is quite cool and cool, and I believe it will be a good choice for Park So Dam to come back from illness.

From the preview trailer exposed in 》Death's Game-, Korean net believes that Li Daoxian's performance should be the 26-year-old handsome coffee shop clerk and model Zhang Jianyu. He is tall, handsome and has no desires.It was all smooth sailing, but it was only recently that he began to worry about his lifestyle, because people liked his appearance and thought he had no inner meaning.

This made Zhang Jianyu depressed and his desire to survive became lower and lower until he met Zheng Zhixiu, a female writer who was a regular customer in a coffee shop. Without knowing it, he read her book and liked it very much, so the two began toThere were more interactions, and during the conversation, Zhang Jianyu also told Zheng Zhixiu about his own rebirth experience as novel material.

Unexpectedly, just when the two decided to date, when Zhang Jianyu once again ignited the desire to live, he encountered a serious car accident. Zheng Zhixiu died on the spot. After Zhang Jianyu learned of her death in the emergency room, he was also extremely sad.Absolutely, he died immediately due to ineffective rescue efforts.

It is reported that Li Daoxuan had a good relationship with the director because of the performance - back when he was 18 years old - and had a strong sense of loyalty. He had already finished filming this plot as early as March this year, and his entire story was owned by the male protagonist.It is the longest segment in Rebirth and the only loveline segment, so there will be a lot of opportunities for Li Daoxuan to appear in the scene, which just allows fans to understand his lovesickness after joining the army.

The writer "Jung Chi-soo" played by Ko Yoon-jin is not the reincarnation of the male protagonist, but it is a very important existence in the entire story of Death's Game.

Zheng Zhixiu is a handsome woman who rides a heavy motorcycle. She gives "Zhang Jianyu" a lot of encouragement and comfort, and also gives him the courage to live.The two gradually began to meet outside the coffee shop, but the next second Zhang Jianyu proposed to hold hands, the two encountered a car accident on the road, and Zheng Zhixiu died on the spot.

In fact, Zhang Jianyu (also the male protagonist Cui Yicai) has never been able to forget her. In every subsequent rebirth, he will read her books over and over again, and even avenged her in a certain life.

Kwon Hyuk-jin, a 15-year-old junior high school student played by Kim Kang-hoon, was born in an ordinary and happy family. He lived happily until elementary school. However, he encountered bullying on campus after entering middle school, which made him so painful that he wanted to commit suicide.

Originally, the male protagonist thought that the real cause of Kwon Hyuk's death was that he committed suicide due to being bullied, so he planned to deal with the school bully who bullied him.

But unexpectedly, after the school bully fell into despair, he took revenge on Quan Hyuk-jin and stoned him to death, causing the hero's rebirth to fail again.

Since in the trailer, Lee Jae-wook appeared in a background with police and fences, Korean netizens believed that he was playing the role of Jo Tae-sang, a 20-year-old delinquent boy who is about to be released from prison and is good at fighting.

Cho Tae-sang served his sentence at the age of 17 and is about to be released from prison. However, the male protagonist discovered that Cho Tae-sang was serving his sentence in the same training center as the school bully who killed Quan Hyuk. Moreover, the school bully loved to lie and dominate inside., so he planned to let all the prisoners in the training center know his true identity, making it difficult for him.

But when Zhao Taishang successfully left the training center and began to realize something, he was eventually stabbed to death by his victim before he was imprisoned. The male protagonist failed to avoid death again.

Sung Hoon plays the role of 31-year-old well-known live broadcaster Jin Jiuchan. Although he is very rich, he cares too much about his live broadcast fans and eventually dies of overwork.

The male protagonist was addicted to the praise brought by the live broadcast fans, and also did not notice Jin Jiucan's body, allowing him to continue the live broadcast, and finally avoided death.

Although the background image of Choi Si-won in the trailer is not very clear, it is generally speculated that he may play the role of Park Tae-soo, a 35-year-old third-generation entrepreneur who relies on his family for everything.

When the male protagonist entered Park Tae Soo's body, he was on the plane. As a result, a few minutes later, the plane crashed and the plane exploded, and Park Tae Soo also died.But in fact, the previous car accident in which writer Jung Chi-soo died was caused by Park Tae-soo's car.

Korea Net predicts that Kim Jae-wook will play a serial killer again after "Voice-".This perverted murderer named Zheng Guizhe is quite handsome and his age is unknown. He has killed 14 people so far.But now he is diagnosed with a brain tumor and will soon die.

In order to avenge the writer Zheng Zhixiu, the male protagonist found the rich third generation who was responsible for the car accident, and discovered this terrible serial murderer in the process.However, Jung Kyu-cheol eventually died of a worsening brain tumor.

In the trailer, Wu Zhengshi appears in a scene that looks very similar to a police officer, so he should be playing the role of the 42-year-old detective An Zhiheng. His personality was affected by a family accident, resulting in a timid personality, but he is quite kind.

When An Zhiheng was investigating the case of serial murderer Zheng Guizhe, the male protagonist entered him, allowing him to use God's perspective to solve the case of Zheng Guizhe.However, later during the process of solving another case, he fell to his death together with the prisoner.

There is also a very important role, the 54-year-old vicious pedophile sexual predator Liu Luhe, who was just released from prison, is likely to be played by Kim Ji-hoon or Jang Seung-jo.

Originally, after the male protagonist entered the body of the scumbag Liu Luhe, his desire to survive was no longer strong, but he was tricked into being tortured in an abandoned building.

Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted person to save me. Little did I know that this kind-hearted person was the serial murderer Zheng Guizhe. He made Liu Luhe his target for this killing. In the end, Liu Luhe was tortured and died at the hands of the serial murderer. This also made the man...The main body understands the killer's tricks better.

The remaining reborn characters of the male protagonist include an instant-death gangster, a magician, a homeless man and a mountain village murderer. I wonder which role the director will let Kim Ji-hoon or Jang Seung-jo play, or will the director develop another role?

Since in the comics, the male protagonist was reborn into his mother's body for the last time, the audience must be very curious about how the male protagonist will end reincarnations again and again and save his mother?There will be no spoilers here, so the audience can enjoy the plot.

In addition, since the male protagonist Cui Yicai's reincarnations are often intertwined, will he finally be able to understand the meaning of death after experiencing all the deaths?I believe this is also the focus of this story.
