Park So-dam first publicly announced her cancer diagnosis back in December 2021 and has since undergone surgery to treat the illness, followed by a much-needed period of recovery.

To promote Death&rsquo;s Game, the 32-year-old actress made an appearance with her co-star, Seo In-guk on singer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzRmTPF2mS8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jo Hyun-ah&rsquo;s YouTube channel</a>, revealing that it took eight months for her voice to return after her cancer treatments. Park So-dam also shared with the host that the treatments were both physically and mentally demanding, saying, &ldquo;Even while filming the first half of Death&rsquo;s Game, I had a hard time and cried at home every day while filming.&rdquo;
At a particularly poignant moment during the press conference, Park So-dam went on to share in more detail, &ldquo;There was a time when I couldn't even get out of bed without my father&rsquo;s assistance. Now I am immensely grateful for the simple ability to move my body. One of the lines in the series is &lsquo;Humans only die once, for a long time&rsquo;. Watching Death&rsquo;s Game will remind the audience of the value and pricelessness of life.&rdquo;

Death&rsquo;s Game plot starts with Choi Lee-jae struggling in all aspects of his life &ndash; his career, love life, and finances &ndash; which results in his desire to end his own life. Insulted by his flippant attitude towards dying, Death comes knocking, forcing him to partake in her cruel game &ndash; to live and die through 12 different reincarnations of himself. The different reincarnations of Choi Lee-jae are played by a star-studded supporting cast, including Siwon, Kim Ji-hoon, Jang Seung-jo, Lee Jae-wook, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/kim-jae-wook-krystal-jung-soo-jung-talk-crazy-love-first-impressions-and-more" title="Kim Jae-Wook and Krystal Jung Talk &lsquo;Crazy Love&rsquo;, First Impressions and More" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Jae-wook</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/disney-plus-moving-clean-sweep-at-the-busan-international-film-festival-kdrama-tv-shows" title="Disney+&rsquo;s 'Moving' Makes a Clean Sweep at the Busan International Film Festival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go Youn-jung</a>, and Kim Kang-hoon and more.
