"Monster in Beijing" integrates elements such as zombies, war, and history When we thought that the Korean drama would end in 2023, a new work with an uneye-catching rebirth theme counterattacked with a super word-of-mouth. It is the Douban score that has risen to 87 points"The Time of Death is Coming".
Similar to the previous popular comic adaptation genres "Super Alien Clan" and "Sweet Home", "Death is Coming" also takes the road of popular comic adaptation, adapted from "Desperate Cycle" created by Korean cartoonists Lee Won-sik and Mi Chan. 
While retaining the comic story, the director chose to choose the director who had filmed "The Voice of the Heart" (Douban score 92) director Ha Byung-hoon;In terms of actors, there are potential newcomers such as Seo In-kook ("Please Answer 1997"), Park So-dan ("Parasite"), Choi Si-won ("Hound Dog") and other potential newcomers and Mesozoic starring. 
On the road of chasing trends, Korean dramas do have their own advantages.
Even today, when rebirth dramas are common, "Death is Coming" can still attract attention with its fast-paced and high-concept setting that sees blood and gathers dead people. Douban has a score of 84, and then went all the way up to 87, which shows the excitement of this play. 
The drama tells the story of the male protagonist Cui Yicai (played by Xu Renguo) who was originally a young man with a bright future and infinite hopes for the future. On the way to a large company for an interview, he was hit by a flying accident, and a passerby was in a car accident while crossing the street and was hit and flew to his feet. The bloody scene directly frightened Xiao Cui stupidly, so that he had no intention of answering during the interview later, and unexpectedly failed. 
For the next seven years, Cui Yicai couldn't find a decent job, so he could only get up early every day and work hard to make ends meet
The girlfriend who has been in love for many years is also suspected of having a new love, and she takes a strange man's car home;
Even his own residence was ruthlessly swept away by the landlord because of rent arrears. 
The successive blows in life made Cui Yicai completely lose the courage to live. So on a rainy night, he walked up to the rooftop and said "I'm not afraid of death", quietly ending his "tragic" life. 
This "reversal" of the series - this attitude of treating life as child's play angered the grumpy Grim Reaper (played by Lin Sudan), and the Grim Reaper decided to punish the young man. The way to punish him is to let his soul enter the bodies of each of the 12 dying people, and feel the powerlessness of not being able to control their lives.
If Cui Yicai can help him avoid death, then he can continue to live with this new body, but if the 12 rebirths have failed, what awaits Cui Yicai is the real hell. This journey of rebirth with the imminent period of death has officially begun.
Judging from the beginning, "Death is Coming" is similar to other rebirth genre dramas, and it is a story that is restarted from the perspective of a "loser". However, compared with other rebirth dramas, the core of the play actually falls on the "meaning of death".
The protagonist Cui Yicai initially thought that as long as he died, he would be able to get rid of hell on earth. As everyone knows, there are thousands of people in this world with different identities, in fact, they all have their own predicaments and cannot control their own life and death. For example, in the first rebirth, he entered the body of the second son of Taikang Group (played by Cui Siyuan).
Luxurious private jets, countless glory and wealth, is Cui Yicai's dream life. But this happiness didn't last long, the plane suddenly caught fire, and the second son was burned alive on the spot. It turns out that money, wealth, and status are worthless in the face of life.
For the sixth rebirth, Cui Yicai was reborn in a baby who couldn't even speak. I thought that I could develop with peace of mind in this life and wait for the time to be ripe, but I didn't expect that the baby's parents were crazy people with human faces and beasts, and Cui Yicai could only watch his young body being tortured to death by his own mother.
In the first four episodes of the story, the male protagonist is reborn seven times. Our Cui Yicai has not resisted fate, but in the end, he could not escape the doom of death. And the death again and again also made him gradually realize how impulsive and naïve he was when he fell down the stairs.
Especially in the seventh life, when he saw that his mother still insisted on sweeping his grave every week, and even cried loudly in the toilet because he missed his son too much, Cui Yicai was even more guilty and embarrassed. He finally understood that suicide was never a relief, but a more painful blow to the living, and those family affections that he didn't care about before his life were so precious.
Although the plot is just over halfway through, and the follow-up development is still unknown, "Death is Coming" has already interpreted the meaning of life through the transformation of the male protagonist. In the comment area of Douban, many people have called this drama "the best anti-suicide propaganda film in 2023". And such a universal theme that is so relevant to reality may be one of the reasons why this play can stand out from many rebirth dramas.
In addition to the seriousness of the theme, "The Dead Are Coming" also shows the diversity of the story and the visual scenes of "Hurricane" vividly.
Through the way the seven reborn people appear in turn, we see various "gods unfolding". When he first met the Grim Reaper, he presented a terrifying hellish scene of bones piling up and a sea of blood surging;
In the second son of the first Taikang Group, what was staged was the seizure of power by wealthy families and the opposition of brothers;
In the third generation of high school students, they encountered school bullying and bullying the small;
And the fourth gangster thug staged a life-and-death chase and betrayal like a Hollywood blockbuster.
The amount of information in the first four episodes of "Death is Coming" is no less than a season-long American drama.
What's even more amazing is that these seven reincarnations are still inextricably linked, and their deaths all point to Park Tae-woo, the eldest son of Taikang Group. It is foreseeable that the next plot development should shift from comprehending death to a more refreshing revenge.
Overall, "The Time of Death Is Coming" is a fast-paced, informative rebirth drama.
While it is seriously dying, it also allows the audience to see the new attempts of Korean dramas in story integration and visual scenes.
Although in some ways, "Death is Coming" will still fall into the inherent bloody plots and preaching of Korean dramas, the overall process of chasing the drama is still very enjoyable.
