Is it worth it

A man who has failed at everything takes his own life and is sentenced to die twelve more times in twelve borrowed bodies. The cast is absurd, the structure is propulsive, and Seo In Guk holds twelve different performances together with real control. The problem is what it says: the framing turns suicide into a punishable failure of effort, and by the sixth life the show is arguing with the character rather than about anything. Eight fast hours with a message you may want to throw something at.

At the brink of going to hell, Yee-jae must cycle through twelve separate lives and twelve separate deaths in this reincarnation drama.
