DEATH'S GAME

Transcript

00:00After a life full of defeats and failures, Yi-Jae believes that death cannot be worse than the hell that is his life.

00:07To punish him for dying before his time and mocking death, death itself forces him to live and die 12 more times in 12 different bodies, so that he can understand the true value of life.

00:19Welcome to A Drama Story. Today, I'll tell the beautiful and emotional story of the K-drama Deaths Game.

00:25Deaths Game begins by introducing us to the protagonist Cho Yi-Jae, a happy college student full of dreams supported by his girlfriend Young Ji-Soo,

00:35as he heads to a job interview that would change his life at the powerful Taekang Company, only to suddenly witness the death of a man in the middle of the street.

00:42He didn't know it yet, but this fatality would change his life forever.

00:45After what he saw, he was so disoriented that he couldn't focus to get the job, resulting in seven long years living in misery,

00:52having to sustain himself through odd jobs as he couldn't land a good job.

00:56Besides, he was burdened with a massive debt acquired from university.

01:01To make matters worse, he lost all his money accumulated over the years in an unsuccessful investment.

01:06Feeling like a complete failure, he ends his relationship with his beloved Ji-Soo, because he doesn't want to ruin her life with his failure.

01:14Upon arriving home, he finds his belongings outside and a padlock on the door, as he has just been evicted due to the lack of rent payment.

01:21And finally, at dawn, he receives the message on his phone that he has been rejected in yet another job interview.

01:28All he wished for was to have had a normal life, a good job, to marry Ji-Soo and have children.

01:34However, consumed by the pain and anguish of his defeats and failures, he makes the drastic and desperate decision to end that suffering.

01:42After all, death is nothing compared to the hell he lives every day.

01:45Upon waking up, he finds himself in another body, as he is now someone else, and by his side is death herself in the form of a beautiful woman.

01:54She diverts him from the direct path to hell and takes him to the valley of the suicides, revealing what his punishment will be for mocking death.

02:02He will die twelve more times in twelve different bodies, to learn to fear death and experience how painful it can be.

02:08But if he manages to avoid any of these deaths, he could continue living in the reincarnated body.

02:15The first body he inhabits is none other than the second heir of the Taikang Company, the one that would have been the job of his dreams.

02:22He is the younger brother of Park Tai-Wu.

02:25The two brothers have always been in competition to prove themselves better than the other.

02:28Living in the body of someone who has a luxurious life to the point of being in a private jet doesn't seem too bad.

02:35However, Yi-Jae didn't have much time to enjoy his new life.

02:39The turbine explodes, the plane rips apart, and our protagonist experiences his first defeat in the game of death.

02:46And this nightmare will happen eleven more times because everything has just begun.

02:50Each round he dies, Yi-Jae is greeted by death in this dark limbo, which is literally the hall of darkness, as the door in front of him leads to hell.

02:59Death takes him there to get a taste of what real suffering is like.

03:03No matter how much he tries to plead for mercy, his fate is already sealed.

03:07And he realizes that the hell he believed he was going through in life doesn't even compare to the true hell.

03:12Now, his new determination is to survive.

03:15But death doesn't seem willing to make things easy.

03:17After all, how do you survive a free fall without a parachute?

03:22Yi-Jae now wakes up in the body of a professional world record-holding extreme sports athlete,

03:26attempting his new record of landing in a net on the ground.

03:29He fails miserably, with his death broadcasted worldwide, leaving everyone in shock.

03:35His third reincarnation is in the body of a high school student who was determined to follow the same path as Yi-Jae

03:40because he couldn't bear the daily bullying at school.

03:42He is happy because now, to survive, all he has to do is not follow the boy's plan to jump off the roof.

03:49However, he soon realizes how difficult it is to avoid death when you're a weak kid against a group of aggressive bullies.

03:55But he follows basic logic.

03:57If you can't beat them, join them.

04:00Nothing better than teaming up with a stronger student who is also threatened and instigating him to rebel.

04:04His risky plan works, and he manages to turn the tables in his favor, turning the intimidator into the intimidated.

04:12The problem is that, after being humiliated, becoming the school joke, and losing the respect and the girl he liked,

04:18the former bully seeks revenge.

04:20And that's how Yi-Jae loses another life.

04:23At this point, Yi-Jae questions if survival is even possible because so far, he hasn't come close.

04:28But death doesn't give him concrete answers, let alone hope.

04:32On the contrary, it promises that things will only get worse from there.

04:36Upon awakening in his fourth body, he finds himself on the verge of being cruelly tortured.

04:41We are shown that this man is an assassin who worked for a secret organization that solves all kinds of problems,

04:47and he is in this situation after stealing two things from his boss.

04:51A large sum of money, and the girlfriend who suffered frequent abuse and aggression.

04:55Something I haven't mentioned yet is that, in addition to memories, Yi-Jae also inherits the abilities of the possessed body.

05:02And the abilities of this body are incredible.

05:05Even with the most skilled assassins and the police in intense pursuit through the city, he manages to survive.

05:11Only to be betrayed in the end by the girl he fought so hard to save,

05:15as she manipulated him to ultimately get away with the stolen money.

05:19Seeing death enjoying his failures, Yi-Jae decides to change his tactics.

05:23Instead of focusing on each body individually, he acts as if they are interconnected pieces.

05:29He decides to use his next reincarnation to recover the money from the criminal who just died,

05:34as he is certain the girl couldn't find it.

05:36However, death doesn't make it easy, putting him in the body of a prisoner in the next life.

05:42However, all is not lost, as this body belongs to a talented MMA fighter.

05:47He was imprisoned for accepting money to take the blame for a hit-and-run instead of a wealthy man.

05:53When the victim died during the trial, the sentence that should have been lenient increased,

05:58and the fighter was sentenced to two years in prison, with only four days left until his release.

06:04The original body owner thought it was a good idea to threaten the lawyer of the real culprit for more money,

06:09but it's Yi-Jae who faces the consequences of this decision.

06:12Fortunately, he manages to use his fighting abilities to defend himself from the surprise attack of other inmates

06:19who want his head in exchange for the reward offered by the real culprit.

06:23Moreover, the stories start to intertwine in this incarnation because he ends up in the same cell as the bully from Life 3,

06:29who was imprisoned after the murder.

06:31Currently, the boy acts as a disturbed psychopath to scare off other inmates,

06:35but Yi-Jae can't hold back his instinct for revenge and justice, wanting to take matters into his own hands.

06:41He tells everyone how weak and cowardly the former bully is, subjecting him to long days of intimidation in prison.

06:48Before leaving, he makes him believe that the spirit of the boy he killed in school is haunting him.

06:53Once released, he goes after the money he hid in the past life,

06:57and as a precaution, splits it in two, storing half in the subway station locker.

07:01Everything seemed to be going well until the father of the hit-and-run victim seeks revenge for his daughter.

07:08Despite Yi-Jae surviving the initial attack, moments later, he is betrayed again.

07:14This time by the prison mate who ends him to claim the reward.

07:18Even with all the knowledge and skills acquired,

07:20Yi-Jae doesn't seem to realize that his selfishness and greed are blinding him,

07:24causing him to overlook details that could help him win this game of death.

07:27Back in the hall of hell, he urges death to send him to the next life quickly,

07:32because the money in the station locker could end up being lost.

07:36However, upon opening his eyes, he finds himself trapped in the body of a baby

07:39who clearly cannot grab a briefcase of money and can only cry without being understood.

07:44To make matters worse, the baby's parents are extremely abusive,

07:47and although Child Protective Services sees warning signs in the fragile little body,

07:51they do nothing about it.

07:53Totally defenseless, Yi-Jae experiences death that same night.

07:57This was death's cold move to show how arrogant he was to take his own life

08:01when others didn't even have the chance to choose to live.

08:04Now, in his seventh body, it seems to be his best bet for survival

08:07and the hope of rebuilding his life.

08:10Not only does he manage to retrieve the money bag in time,

08:13but he is also a model who has always had an easy life simply for being handsome.

08:17While working at a cafe, he reunites with his true love, ex-girlfriend Jisoo.

08:22He discovers that she has become an acclaimed author,

08:25and while reading her novel inspired by their love,

08:28he realizes all the moments he misunderstood her because of his own inferiority complex.

08:33Even though she always supported him in everything,

08:36he approaches her pretending to be a fan seeking advice on writing.

08:40Thus, they start meeting every day.

08:42Yi-Jae tells her all the details of his deaths as if they were characters in fiction,

08:46fascinating her with his creativity.

08:49He strives to get closer to her, even though she is not yet ready to move on.

08:53But it's only when he sees the girl mourning his death

08:55that Yi-Jae realizes the impact his actions had on his loved ones,

08:59not only on his girlfriend but especially on his mother, who is now alone.

09:03Seeing her in so much pain makes him understand that giving up his own life was a huge mistake.

09:08He finally realizes that death was right when accusing him of selfishness

09:12for hurting others with his decision.

09:14The more time he spends with Jisoo,

09:16the more feelings and memories of the moments he lived with her

09:18come back like a painful blow to remind him of what he abandoned.

09:23Realizing that he could die at any moment,

09:25he leaves all the money he obtained for his mother,

09:27and at night, he decides to reveal the whole truth to Jisoo.

09:31He says that the stories he told her about death are real,

09:34and the protagonist of that story was himself, Yi-Jae.

09:38He apologizes for making her go through so much suffering,

09:40and reveals that she remains his only true love.

09:44It took him seven more lives to finally understand that he had more than enough reasons to live.

09:48But just as he learns the lesson,

09:51death appears ruthlessly to remind him that everything can end suddenly.

09:54The two are abruptly hit by a red car, killing Jisoo instantly.

09:58While agonizing on the ground, Yi-Jae sees who the driver was,

10:01the heir of the Taikang company, Park Tai-Wu.

10:04He then remembers that this same man was the older brother of his first body,

10:07the sponsor of the second body, the client of the fourth body,

10:11the real culprit for the hit-and-run,

10:13causing the imprisonment and death of the fifth body,

10:16and now the murderer of his beloved.

10:19Furthermore, the villain still takes the life of his seventh body to avoid problems.

10:24Back in the dark hall of hell,

10:25Yi-Jae feels a double torture now for this specific death.

10:29Because besides losing another chance to survive,

10:32he lost Jisoo forever.

10:33He vows revenge against Park Tai-Wu.

10:35However, before that, he is fed up with this sick game,

10:40grabbing the deadly weapon and aiming it at death herself.

10:43The second part begins with Yi-Jae pointing the gun at death.

10:47He shoots, then quickly tries to come back to avenge Tai-Yu,

10:50but the gun doesn't work.

10:52As he turns around, he understands that,

10:54just like water doesn't get wet and fire doesn't burn,

10:57death doesn't die.

10:59It shows him a bit of its true face to remind him of who it is.

11:02After taunting him by transforming into his beloved Ji-Soo,

11:06with a sadistic smile on her face,

11:08she sends him to the next life.

11:10This time, he reincarnates into the body of Jong-gyu Cheol,

11:14who always enjoyed drawing from a young age.

11:16Despite his talent,

11:18he was never recognized until one day he saw a woman fall from a building

11:21and realized that his art came from death.

11:24Portraits inspired by deceased people were worth a lot of money in the foreign market.

11:28So, he began to take his art more seriously and started pursuing his victims himself.

11:33His traces of violence were recounted in the news as those of a serial killer.

11:37Meanwhile, his paintings were auctioned for millions.

11:41According to the psychopath,

11:42a total of 15 people were said to have been reborn in his works of art.

11:46Yi-Jae becomes physically ill to the point of vomiting as he receives all these memories,

11:51but he accepts to use the body of a demon to hunt another.

11:54He returns to the scene of his last death and finds Ji-Soo's pen inside a sewer.

12:00That night, Tai-Yu convinces the lawyer to take the blame for the hit-and-run,

12:04promising him one of the company's branches to manage.

12:07The car's chip, which recorded who was driving,

12:10ended up in the sewer along with the pen.

12:12While watching an interview of his enemy,

12:14Yi-Jae's nose starts bleeding and he faints.

12:17Upon waking up, he discovers he has a tumor in his head and only one month to live,

12:21which he considers more than enough to conclude his plan.

12:24Ironically, Tai-Yu is interested in one of his most expensive works

12:28and is waiting for him in his gallery.

12:30When they meet, Yi-Jae taunts him,

12:33revealing that he uses the blood of his victims to create artworks.

12:37He says they both have in common the belief that they are gods when they take people's lives.

12:42Tai-Yu doesn't like hearing that comment,

12:44but the artist quickly says it was just a joke.

12:47Alone with the killer of his beloved in the gallery,

12:49Yi-Jae considers killing him,

12:51but remembers that death warned him that if he tried to kill anyone,

12:54she would interfere and send him straight to hell.

12:57He then tells Tai-Yu that he will sell the painting to him,

13:00but wants to deliver it personally.

13:02And for that, he needs his address.

13:05After the mass for his brother, where his father clearly favored him,

13:09Tai-Yu receives a call informing him that his father suspects him of being a psychopath

13:12and is investigating him.

13:14Irritated, he takes his pills and speeds away in his car,

13:18passing by two detectives who soon chase him.

13:21Cornered on a construction site,

13:22he is approached by the officer who realizes that Tai-Yu was under the influence of illegal drugs.

13:28However, with just one call,

13:30Tai-Yu resolves the situation by speaking directly to the police commissioner,

13:34in addition to slapping the rookie cop several times,

13:37humiliating him and showing who really rules the city.

13:40Upon arriving home, he finds Yi-Jae already waiting for him.

13:44Yi-Jae provokes him by stepping on his luxury car.

13:47They start a fight, and Yi-Jae gives Tai-Yu a beating.

13:50Tai-Yu runs to his Ferrari, grabs a gun and shoots Yi-Jae.

13:54Believing he has killed him, Tai-Yu approaches,

13:56but Yi-Jae, wearing a vest, surprises him, overpowers him,

13:59and takes him inside the house.

14:01However, as he prepared for his revenge due to the tumor in his head, he faints.

14:05Upon waking up, he finds himself tied to a stretcher.

14:09Tai-Yu reveals how he discovered his taste for death.

14:12One day, on his way to the office,

14:14he accidentally hit a man standing in the middle of the street,

14:17the same man Yi-Jae saw at the beginning of this series that changed his life forever.

14:21However, Tai-Yu felt pleasure seeing the man suffer on the ground,

14:25and felt like a god at that moment.

14:28When Yi-Jae earlier restrained him and revealed the details of what he would do to him,

14:32it left him even more excited because he had never thought of causing death in that way.

14:36It was a gift, and now he will test this new method on Yi-Jae.

14:40And this was the most agonizing and painful death Yi-Jae experienced.

14:44However, to death's surprise, Yi-Jae was laughing at her.

14:48There were hidden cameras that recorded the businessman committing that atrocity.

14:52It was all part of his plan.

14:54Since he couldn't kill him, he would destroy him in another way.

14:57Death sends him to his next life.

14:59Ahn Ji-Hyung, a detective who lost his father when he was a child and was also a policeman.

15:04When he passed the police test, his mother fell ill with fear that he would die like his father.

15:09He then made a promise not to take risks and decided to become a mediocre detective just to survive.

15:15His colleagues don't respect him, considering him a coward.

15:19Even after his mother's death, he continued to back down in the face of action,

15:23losing the respect even of his partner Ji-Hun.

15:26On the street, he spotted his former cellmate who killed him in the fifth life.

15:29While the man threatened another with a knife, Yi-Jae approached and manipulated him by saying

15:34that he was his former cellmate revived, making him confess the crime in front of everyone who

15:39was filming.

15:40When attacked, he used his skills and easily immobilized him for other police officers to

15:44take him away.

15:46His video went viral on the internet and TV, increasing not only his respect but also that

15:51of the entire force.

15:53Yi-Jae returns to the artist's house to retrieve evidence of his last death.

15:56However, while his partner called for reinforcements, Yi-Jae made a copy of the recordings and erased

16:02the original videos.

16:04Several pieces of evidence were found there indicating that the artist Jong-gyu Chiyol was

16:09the serial killer who turned his victims into art.

16:12This made his boss very happy, even questioning if he wasn't possessed, as he went from a coward

16:17to the best police officer in the force overnight.

16:20Someone not pleased with this was Tae-Yu, who, upon arriving at the scene, is stopped by the

16:25police officer who taunts him, claiming that killers always return to the scene of the crime.

16:30Moreover, he sees on TV that the detective is becoming a phenomenon in crime fighting.

16:35He then calls his contacts and plans the death of the hero detective.

16:38Suspicious of the system, Yi-Jae hands over the crime videos directly to a reporter.

16:43Later, he discovers that his mother was being investigated because of the backpack full of money

16:48he had left for her, as cameras filmed it being delivered by one of the victims under

16:52investigation.

16:53He talks to her pretending to be a detective to see if she was okay, and at that moment,

16:58he sees her wearing the shoes he gave her as a gift.

17:01He takes advantage of the untied shoelaces to prevent his mother from realizing that he

17:05was emotional seeing her in this situation.

17:08Later, he leaves food at his mother's door and ends up being cornered by a thug sent by Tae-Yu.

17:13Meanwhile, Tae-Yu discovers that his father was making progress in the investigations against him.

17:18Furious, the psychopath corners a driver on the street and stabs him just to relieve his anger.

17:24One of his TV informants warns him about the video of his murder delivered by the detective

17:28to the press.

17:29When he tries to call the man sent to kill Yi-Jae, he finds out that he is the one who

17:33was captured and was already in the police station.

17:36Using his influence, Tae-Yu has the police commissioner himself organize a meeting with

17:40the detective.

17:41Tae-Yu tries to bribe him with a lot of money and influence, promising to make him one of the

17:45the most powerful people in the city. Yi-Jae refuses and says that his goal is to destroy

17:50him completely.

17:51However, later Yi-Jae sees Tae-Yu playing another one of his cards.

17:55He decides to surrender to the authorities, confessing to being responsible for the death

17:59of Jong-gyu-chil, but claims that he did it to protect himself because he had been kidnapped

18:04and would have been another of his victims.

18:06Moreover, the images presented on TV were only of the killer taking Tae-Yu, confirming his version.

18:12He would still be in custody, but a movement created by the company claimed that everyone

18:17was with him, even calling him a hero.

18:20Since Yi-Jae did not make a copy of the video images, he had no way to prove to his boss that

18:24the images were forged.

18:26Tae-Yu walked out of the police station through the front door as an innocent that night, while

18:31the detective was kidnapped by some corrupt officers.

18:35Taking his pills and relaxing in his jet heading out of the country, Tae-Yu ends up having an

18:39unpleasant surprise.

18:42He sees a recording revealing all the murders he committed and hears a warning that the plane

18:46will explode in 30 seconds.

18:48Desperate, he grabs the parachute and jumps from the plane just before the explosion.

18:53He manages to land safely, but only to be run over in the same instant.

18:57The detective then appears in front of Tae-Yu.

19:00It is revealed that two weeks earlier, in his life as a hired killer, he knew where the

19:04crime boss kept the dirt on clients.

19:06He took the HD with evidence and with more memories of his brother, knew he kept his pills

19:11in the pen and switched them with a sedative.

19:13His partner had always been by his side and threatened his own colleagues to lie to Tae-Yu.

19:18And using the skills from all his lives so far, he executed his plan by placing bombs

19:22on the plane.

19:24As it was taking off, it was shown to the press and on TV.

19:27Him hiring the crime boss to kill his own brother.

19:30In addition to the video where he reveals all the crimes before killing the serial killer.

19:35Before Tae-Yu could wake up, Yi-Jay jumped from the plane and waited for him on the ground

19:39while following the traces of the explosion and a GPS.

19:42However, driven by the thirst for revenge, Yi-Jay decides to kill him.

19:47Not even the appearance of death, who would take him straight to hell, made him stop.

19:52Until Jisoo's pen falls from his pocket, and believing it to be his beloved trying to

19:56protect him, he gives up killing Tae-Yu, thus escaping spending eternity in hell.

20:01Tae-Yu gets up and tries to attack him from behind, but the wind pulls his parachute, causing

20:06him to be run over by a passing truck.

20:08In the police station, the detective found Tae-Yu's lawyer and said that the only thing

20:12that would spare him from trial and give him innocence was the memory card.

20:16The lawyer was emotional and grateful, but Yi-Jay destroys the memory card because he

20:20deserves to rot in prison for all the times he covered up Tae-Yu's crimes.

20:24The repercussions for Park Tae-Yu were significant.

20:28Three police commanders were removed, and his father resigned, leaving the company in the

20:32hands of the shareholders.

20:34Yi-Jay visits Tae-Yu in the hospital, who only continues to live thanks to life support

20:38and has lost both legs.

20:40Visiting his ex-girlfriend's memorial, Yi-Jay decides to live the life of a detective

20:44and continue fighting crime.

20:46And with his partner Ji-Hun, they continue to arrest various criminals.

20:51He was getting used to this life, believing that one day he would be killed in one of

20:54these operations.

20:56But Ji-Hun always protected him.

20:58His partner ended up getting injured in action.

21:01And in the hospital, Yi-Jay meets Ji-Hun's family who loved him very much and always worried

21:05when he went to work.

21:08Yi-Jay then promises Ji-Hun's daughter that he will always protect him so that he returned

21:12safely to his family.

21:13However, in a pursuit to the rooftop of a building, they didn't realize he was armed.

21:18He shot twice, hitting Yi-Jay and his partner.

21:21In an attempt to protect his friend and his family, he went after the criminal, who shot

21:26more times in his stomach, and the two fell from the building.

21:30Death reproaches him for continuing to be selfish.

21:32Yi-Jay says he doesn't understand because this time, he sacrificed himself to save someone

21:37else.

21:38Death laughs in his face, calling him a fool and sends him to the next life.

21:42This time, a beggar.

21:43He watches the news that the police detective, considered a hero, has died in a chase, falling

21:48from a building.

21:50He decides to go to the funeral.

21:52However, everyone there greeted him with prejudice, thinking he was there for food and already

21:57wanted him to leave because of the bad smell.

21:59The sheriff even gave him a bag of food to go away.

22:02But on the way out, he was pushed aside, as the prime minister came to see the deceased

22:06police hero.

22:07Initially, Yi-Jay feels proud, but soon realizes he's just a beggar.

22:13In conflict with himself for not knowing who he is anymore, he finds his partner crying

22:17on the stairs.

22:18Trying to comfort him, he is reprimanded because his friend was furious and consumed by guilt

22:22over his death.

22:24The memory stone comes to give him new memories, but Yi-Jay can't take it anymore and tries

22:28to escape.

22:29He stumbles on the stairs, hitting his head and dying before receiving more memories.

22:35Yi-Jay now understands why Death called him a fool because he was proud of the achievements

22:39of others, using skills and memories that didn't belong to him.

22:43Moreover, Death still hints that he sacrificed himself in vain since his partner wouldn't

22:47die that day.

22:49Unable to bear this game any longer, Yi-Jay ignores knowing who owns his next life and just

22:54runs to find his end and finish this game soon.

22:57However, the truth stone touched him and showed him that he was an ordinary man with the life

23:01Yi-Jay dreamed of—a good job, married, and a happy family.

23:06However, he was fired, and without a job his wife asked for a divorce, claiming that he

23:12was no longer fit to take care of the family.

23:15Desperate for being a failure, his last wish was death.

23:18Thus he followed his destiny, standing in front of Tae-Yu's car and being thrown onto

23:22the sidewalk.

23:24From that moment, Yi-Jay's fate was sealed because that was the man who died in his arms

23:28at the beginning of everything.

23:30Besides, it was the cause of awakening Tae-Yu's killing desire, making him commit several hit

23:35and runs, including that of his beloved Jisoo.

23:39Touching Yi-Jay triggered the events that would completely change his life, and this was Death's

23:44plan from the beginning.

23:46Back in purgatory, Yi-Jay just wanted to go to his last life, die and end it all.

23:52However Death played another trick because as soon as he woke up, he was at home.

23:56To his surprise, looking in the mirror, he was in his mother's body.

24:01Upon receiving the memories, he realized how little he knew about his own mother.

24:05She had dreams, and one of them was to be a mother and have a happy family.

24:10She fell in love and had her longed-for family, but with her husband's death, only she and

24:15her son, little Yi-Jay, remained.

24:17She raised him with a lot of love, even alone and facing difficulties.

24:22Due to having to take care of her son, she was fired, but she didn't give up on life.

24:27She continued to accept smaller jobs to support her son, but Yi-Jay seemed not to appreciate

24:32her efforts.

24:33She always believed in her son and tried to cheer him up.

24:36However, Yi-Jay was not as strong as his mother, and it was she who was calling her son

24:40on the night he gave up.

24:42The pain of receiving the news of his death was so great that she fainted.

24:46She still had the harsh task of identifying him at the morgue and, alongside Jisoo, saw

24:51her only son being cremated.

24:53After that, her life was a sea of sadness.

24:56At work, she was considered unlucky, and no one wanted to be around her.

25:00It was at this moment that Yi-Jay discovered how much he had hurt his mother and how selfish

25:04he had been in his decision.

25:06He then decides to live as his mother as punishment.

25:09And now he feels ashamed of his own death, but decides to work anyway.

25:13His knees began to fail, and at home, taking pain medication, he sees a savings account

25:18in the bank made by his mother to buy him a house when he got married.

25:22However, having money now didn't change his increasing sadness.

25:26Looking at his memorial, he realized that his mother went there every day after work

25:30to see her son and blamed herself, believing that Yi-Jay deserved to have had a better, more

25:35intelligent mother who would give him a happy life.

25:38The memories only became more painful, and he also remembered the day he made a promise

25:42to take his mother to the mountain where she met his father.

25:46Yi-Jay decided to take this walk, despite his hurting knees.

25:50He managed to reach the top of the mountain and see how beautiful the place was.

25:54In thought, he finally asked for forgiveness from his mother and held her hand.

25:58On the way back, he slips and falls into the middle of nowhere.

26:02With an injured leg, he can't walk and screams for help, but no one hears him.

26:07He refuses to let his mother die like this and makes every effort to reach the trail,

26:11being rescued and waking up in the hospital with a broken leg.

26:15Even so, he chooses to give his mother a long life.

26:19He lived for another 32 years in her body, and in his final moments, his entire life flashed

26:24before his eyes.

26:26On a peaceful afternoon with a beautiful view, he has his best and most honest death.

26:31He tells death that he can't believe he missed her after so long.

26:34However, for her, not even a second has passed.

26:37Yi-Jay pleads for one more life, this time, his own life.

26:41He now understands the importance of every moment lived, and only asks for the opportunity

26:46to embrace his mother, at least one more time.

26:49Death congratulates him, because with these words, he has just won the game.

26:54But he will have only one opportunity, one bullet, and if his gun doesn't fire, he will be judged

26:59by God.

27:01Yi-Jay takes the deadly weapon, and to his happiness, it works.

27:05He returns to the top of the building just before giving up.

27:08But this time, he answers his mother's call, and his letter to death flies away, thus ending

27:13the death's game.
