The star-studded cast of the hit South Korean drama Death’s Game are gearing up for a fierce battle in the show’s upcoming second part. 

In the one-minute teaser, Lee Do Hyun’s character appeared to hint that there will be higher stakes in the series continuation.  “This scenario is not up to you. In a good scenario, there’s always a twist,” he said in the clip. 

To note, the said fantasy drama aired its first part, which is composed of eight episodes, in December 2023. 

Based on the webtoon of the same name, Death’s Game was translated to live action by powerhouse cast. Among the lead cast members are Park So Dam, Seo In Guk, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Do Hyun, Go Yoon Jung, among many others. On top of that, the heavy lineup will be joined by veteran actor Oh Jeong Se who will appear in Part 2.

According to the drama’s director Ha Byeong Hoon, the casting process for the drama took about 10 to 11 months. “I heard most [of the actors] would be impossible to cast. The process was very difficult, but it was good,” he said. 

What happened so far in ‘Death’s Game’ Part 1

In the first part of the drama, Death, played by actress Park So Dam, challenged Seo In Guk’s character Choi Yi Jae to survive 12 lives. In turn, Yi Jae tries to overcome this test and is determined to survive. However, he struggles as he reincarnates into different lives including that of a prisoner, a student, and many others.

In an attempt to rewrite the predetermined ending in Death’s story, Yi Jae gets to meet different characters trying to take him down. As seen in the trailer for Part 2, Yi Jae exclaimed that his “revenge is only just beginning now”.
