Critical response
[
edit
]
Cine21
's
Kim Hyun-seung wrote for the part one that "many works, including
Along with the Gods
, have dealt with the afterlife, but the worldview built by
Death's Game
is quite novel." He also cited that "it received favorable reviews on CG that is rare in South Korea" but "somewhat disappointed that all narratives rely on visual effects."
[50]
While
Cine21
's
Nam Ji-woo wrote for part two that the series "transforms into a contemplative drama that attempts to answer the philosophical questions surrounding suicide in its own unique way."
[51]
Pierce Conran of
South China Morning Post
gave it 3/5 stars and described that "
Death's Game
is the kind of pulpy entertainment where quibbling over plot points is ill-advised" and "plot moves quickly and the storytelling mode switches often, forcing logic to take a back seat to visceral thrills and emotional swings".
[52]
Bhavna Agarwal of
India Today
gave it 3.5/5 stars and stated that "the show strikes a balance between the emotional aspects and the action sequences" but "the only disappointment perhaps is that the show doesn't quite take into consideration the external factors or fails to stress the need for more mental health guidance to prevent suicides".
[53]
Viewership
[
edit
]
A December 22, 2023 report claimed that, according to
Amazon Prime Video
statistics, the series was the most watched show in Indonesia and Thailand and in the top ten most watched shows in 43 countries around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan.

<神과 함께>를 비롯한 많은 作品이 死後 世界를 다뤘지만, <李縡, 곧 죽습니다>가 構築한 世界觀은 제법 斬新하다.
저승에 到着한 李縡 앞에 '죽음'(박소담)이 登場한다. 自身을 苦痛 解消의 道具 따위로 여기는 主人公에 憤怒한 '죽음'은 그에게 人間이 經驗할 수 있는 最惡의 刑罰을 내린다. 죽기 直前의 사람의 몸에 들어가 反復해서 죽음을 經驗하는 것이다. 機會를 모두 消盡하면 地獄에 끌려간다는 使臣의 말에 이재의 孤軍奮鬪가 始作된다.
同名의 웹툰을 原作으로 한 <李縡, 곧 죽습니다>는 國內에서 보기 드문 스케일의 CG로 好評받고 있다. 모든 敍事를 視覺效果에 依存한다는 點은 多少 아쉽다.
