Seo In Guk Gets 12 Chances At Life After Hitting Rock Bottom In "Death's Game"

Nov 03, 2023

TVING’s upcoming drama “Death’s Game” has shared a sneak peek of Seo In Guk in his starring role!

Warning: mention of attempted suicide.

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “Death’s Game” tells the story of a man who gets more than one second chance at life after facing death. Park So Dam will play the role of Death, who sentences a man named Choi Yi Jae (Seo In Guk) to 12 cycles of life and death right before his first life is about to end.

In the upcoming drama, Choi Yi Jae—who was not born to wealth or privilege—hits rock bottom after struggling to find a job for a long period of time. Despite originally having a cheerful and optimistic personality, his prolonged and difficult job hunting experience transforms him into a deeply insecure person who loses his will to live.

However, just when he attempts to take his own life, he unexpectedly comes face to face with Death, who is infuriated by his flippant attitude towards life—and who decides to teach him a lesson through an unusual punishment.

In the newly released stills from “Death’s Game,” Seo In Guk bears a striking resemblance to the character of Choi Yi Jae from the original webtoon. One photo captures Choi Yi Jae staring nervously at his computer screen, while another shows him in despair at a job interview, piquing viewers’ curiosity as to what could have gone wrong.

In a final photo, Choi Yi Jae wears an unreadable expression while surrounded by a sea of black. It remains to be seen where Choi Yi Jae ultimately winds up—and what sort of judgment he will receive from Death.
