The highly-anticipated fantasy series Death’s Game, starring Seo In Guk and Park So Dam, will premiere in December, TVING confirmed on Thursday, October 26. 

Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, Death’s Game is known for having a gripping narrative filled with suspense, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural. 

It follows the story of Choi Yi-jae, portrayed by Seo In Guk, who meets an unusual fate. After dying, he is granted extra chances at life, but there’s a catch. Park So Dam takes on the character of a powerful entity, who sentences Yi-jae to a series of 12 lives and deaths. All of this unfolds just before he is consigned to hell. 

In the newly-released poster for Death’s Game, the interesting plot is perfectly captured. For instance, So Dam’s Death is prominently featured, standing at the center. Meanwhile Yi-jae lies at Death‘s feet, seemingly on the brink of his demise. Notably, the teaser hinted at Yi-jae’s struggle to escape the clutches of death. 

“After death, cruel judgment begins,” the ominous text in the poster reads. Which could possibly hint at a realm dominated by Death, and her capabilities to carry out punishments and judgments to anyone.
