This is Choi Yi-jae (Seo In-guok).
He has a high degree of education, a good image, and is almost an impeccable outstanding young man.
Before graduating, I received an interview invitation from Taikang Group, a top company.
As long as he plays normally, it is almost a sure thing to reach the peak of his life.
The result was on his way to the interview.
An uncle who crossed the road was hit by a car and died in front of Cui Yizai.
It completely scared our male protagonist stupid.
And the gears of fate also began to turn from this moment on-
The interview was lost, and Cui Yizai, who had been immersed in the tragedy just now, didn't even hear the interviewer's questions clearly.
Naturally, the job opportunity of Taikang Group was lost.
But what he didn't expect was that in the seven years since then, he has been beenBad luck.
Unable to find a suitable formal job, and at the same time crushed by high student loans, he can only earn money from odd jobs.
Listen to the words of a good friend to invest, but the result is ** money and run away.
I couldn't pay the rent, and all my things were swept out of the house by the landlord.
Even his girlfriend was suspected of cheating and was sent home by other men.
In the end, when Cui Yi mustered up the courage to give it a go and participated in the interview of Taikang Group again.
I still received a text message that I failed the interview.
He couldn't hold it anymore.
This became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Cui Yi wrote a suicide note, and then stood on the rooftop.
Desperate for him,Death is called a lower means of ending one's own suffering.
Then he jumped down, and the scene was frozen on his phone for a missed call from his mother.
However, death did not end Choi Yizai's suffering.
On the contrary, his contemptuous attitude towards death angered the "god of death".
So the god decided to punish the ignorant human.
Let him realize what is a hundred times more painful than death
"Death is Coming" is another double in South Korea this yearComic works.
The lineup is unprecedented:Seo In-guk, Park So-dan, Lee Ji-hui, Ko Yoon-jin, Kim Ji-hoon, Sung-hoon.
Only broadcast the fourth level, and scored 8With a high score of 7, he became a dark horse at the end of the year.
All of this may be due to its too big brain hole-
Cui Yi is dead, but not completely dead.
He opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a luxurious private jet with a different face.
And Lord Death (Park So-dan) sits across from him.
It turned out that the punishment had already begun, and in the following time.
Cui Yi will travel into 12 different bodies, and these people all have one thing in common.
That isThey were all dying.
Perhaps more desperate than death is the knowledge that death is imminent.
The good news is that if he can save the owner of the body from death, then he can continue to live in the place of that person.
The bad news is that if you run out of twelve chances and don't manage to survive, you'll go to hell.
Soon Cui Yizai knew that it was the first body that was possessed now, yesThe second son of Taikang Group.
The future is very good, although he is the second son, he can win the favor of his father.
He is smarter than the eldest son, Park Tae-woo, and he does better in all aspects.
As long as it continues, then the inheritance of Taikang Group is just around the corner.
Seeing this, Cui Yi suddenly came to confidence: Isn't this turning over and becoming a master?And this kind of good thing?
Thinking about it, he fell into a smirk.
fantasized about the endless glory and wealth after that, and then.
The plane blew up.
This is the end of the first life.
Ridiculous, this is Cui Yizai's first reaction.
How can you survive such a plane crash?It's clear that you will die!
As a result, the Grim Reaper immediately made him understand what real absurdity was.
In the second life, Cui Yi opened her eyes and found that she was still in the sky.
There were no planes, no parachutes, he was in free fall.
It turns out that the owner of this body is an extreme athlete with four world records.
Today's challenge is to jump from a height of 8,000 meters without a parachute.
If you fall into the safety net accurately, you can get a prize of 3 billion won.
So Cui Yi, who had the mentality of dying if he didn't get rich, was here.
Again. Landing into a box.
The second life is also over.
In the third life, Cui Yi decided to change his strategy and outwit.
The owner of the body is a middle school student who has been bullied at school.
Cui Yi first used words to contradict the bully's thugs, and then designed to make him socially die.
Three times five divided by two, Cui Yi cleared all the obstacles in the school, and it was so smooth that it couldn't work.
Well, it's this life, study hard, train your muscles, and grow up quickly.
When he thought he had survived the catastrophe and began to imagine the future.
The defense-breaking bully reappeared, frantically smashing Cui Yizai's head with a brick.
Game over again.
He still underestimated human nature.
Cui Yizai, who made no progress on the road of rebirth, finally ushered in a breakthrough in the next two lives.
He became a gangster killer and a boxer with a top bag in prison, respectively.
Although he still did not escape the fate of death, he accidentally obtained 10 billion won.
Will this money be an opportunity for Cui Yi to change her life against the sky?
Before considering this, a larger conspiracy also seemed to surface.
In fact, the twelve bodies that the god of death was choosing for Cui Yi also had a purpose.
After all, she said from the beginning that the reason for the punishment was that she couldn't get used to the male protagonist's contemptuous attitude towards death.
So in the twelve opportunities to restart her life, Cui Yizai gradually discovered what she had neglected.
For example,The love of the people around you.
In the seventh life, Cui Yi was reborn as a model Zhang Jianyu (played by Lee Zhihui).
He met his former girlfriend Lee Ji-so at a café.
That's when he realized that Jisoo didn't cheat at all.
On the contrary, the root of all this misunderstanding,It's my own inferiority complexIt's a troublemaker.
And when he jumped out to see this relationship from a third perspective, he found that Jisoo's love for him was far beyond his imagination.
During the seven-year trough, Jisoo not only did not leave him, but also kept encouraging him.
When I met Choi Yi, who was working as a waiter at a dinner party with colleagues, Jisoo would also generously introduce him to everyone.
Even after winning the award for the ** written by himself, the first person to thank was Cui Yizai.
The content of that ** book was written by Jisoo inspired by the love story with Cui Yizai.
And she has never walked out of the shadow of Cui Yi's suicide.
These areWhat he neglected during his lifetime.
There is also a line where Cui Yi is with her mother.
It was told by the screenwriter scattered over several lifetimes.
The mother's missed call before the suicide became a foreshadowing that ran through this emotional line.
Cui Yi swapped roles in the continuous rebirth and experienced the pain caused by the loss of her loved ones.
Let him learn to re-treat the word "family".
It can be said that these twelve lives are the punishment given to Cui Yizai by the god of death, and it is also an opportunity for redemption.
Let him gradually understand the weight of "death".
This is not a forced reversal of the will of a desperate person to "commit suicide".
Rather, I want him to know that "death" is not an easy means before making this decision.
In Pai Ye's view, the success of "Death is Coming" comes fromStitch.
Although its main purpose is life education with a didactic nature.
But because of this brain-opening setting.
not only allows the whole drama to shuttle back and forth between various genres, but also wraps in various social issues.
For example, when you are reborn as a killer and a boxer.
There are very neat and expensive indoor fights, gunfights, motorcycle chases and other action scenes.
tells the part about his girlfriend Jisoo, and travels into the atmosphere of a romantic Korean drama in another second.
Let the whole drama repeatedly jump sideways in love, comedy, gangster revenge and other content.
At the same time, the traditional performing arts of Korean dramas are stitched into it-
Campus bullying, chaebol with one hand, sarcasm and unscrupulous**, etc.
For example, at the first time when the stuntman fell to his death, the TV station thought that the ratings would break 30%, and everyone would be rewarded with vacations.
What is even more rare is that it also touches on the very serious situation of the momentSuicide rates and misogyny.
In addition, the screenwriter buried a deep suspense dark line in it.
There are all kinds of signs that the death of these twelve people is connected in the dark.
And the initiators behind it all point to the same person.
The goal of the protagonist Cui Yi is also from"How to survive" gradually changed to "who killed me".
So in"How to shoot well" is the first priority.
"The Time of Death is Coming", stitched into the dazzling elements, appeared, and succeeded.
It's goodIt balances the relationship between content and form.
While ensuring the look and feel, the value output is softened and wrapped in a refreshing genre film.
It also clearly points out the various problems in Korean society today.
But perhaps, there is another reason for its success.
That's the current social mood that this drama cuts
How to face the vertical fall of life?
There may be no one to give an answer, or there may be no answer at all.
It's better to watch the drama together as a respite.
