Black (2017)

This drama has EVERYTHING that a K-drama needs: romance, fantasy, supernatural, life and death and also, the point of everything , the crime and thriller storyline.
Rarely I put a drama into my top favorites, but this one needs to climb till the first place!
I loved the story, which is pretty different from the classics crime drama where all the questions go into a court.
This one has the end at the very start, so the first 20 seconds of this series is crucial to understand the end, there is a lot of plot twist and they didn't let me take my eyes off the screen till the end.
I loved the intro music also, but probably the end needed a better explanation, because yes is made a few years later after everything comes to an end, but it was very rushed like they needed to close the season and nothing more.
This drama, which is also underrated needs to bet rewatched a ton of times, totally worth every second of vision!!

After reading the short summary, I envisioned something completely different than what I've just watched. But it still didn't disappoint at all. I quite like the Grim Reaper characters in tv shows so this was a must watch for me. The formula for success is dark, handsome and clueless main characters, apparently.

STORY
Throughout the first seven or eight episodes I was completely confused. It may seem like at first nothing really makes sense or the story isn't really going anywhere. But if you stay until the end, only then will it make complete sense. It also seems like a cliche, a detective falls for the woman who helps him solve the cases, but it's really not that simple. The last two episodes had me bawling my eyes out. It's emotional and the crimes are cleverly intertwined and it grabs your attention from the start. The first scene in the show makes so much sense in episode 17. I was a bit disappointed by the last few minutes though. Not the most satisfying ending to an overall great show.

ACTING/CAST
There isn't really much to say about the casting choice. Everyone is really good at portraying their characters and my favorite would be either Detective Han or Ha Ram's father. Although, I wish we got to know his side of the story a little bit better. All the supporting roles are amazing as well.

MUSIC
There was this one song that each time it played, I prepared myself for a heartwrenching moment. It's a nice soundtrack, the music isn't that important since the story itself is always progressing and gripping that you don't have time to pay attention to the background noise.

OVERALL
It's a great show that I'll end up rewatching again. It's not for the faint of heart since it has a lot of gory scenes, details and deaths. The climax of the story is amazing, but the end fell a bit short for me. Still, recommend it to those who like detectives and crime stories.

So this is my first review and I don’t usually post reviews but this time I really felt the need to.
Before watching dramas I come here to read the reviews and decide if it’s worth watching.
At first I read some disappointing reviews in which people complained about the ending, the chemistry, the action.

Guys don’t fool yourself by taking into consideration those comments. I gave it a try and I have no regrets.

This drama is funny, yes, there are a lot of scenes where you laugh hard. It’s very engaging because of the story, you definitely want to find out what is happening, the plot twist was also very good. Once I had an idea (I thought) about the criminals it suddenly changed. So you won’t get bored, I promise.
The chemistry is there, I felt it, it is true that at the beginning you may feel that the main female character is a bit annoying but that is because of the factors from the story.
The male lead, Black, OMG, you’d want to watch this drama at least for him for sure. I absolutely adored how he acted, his expressions, his feelings. That guy deserves an Oscar...

I literally have to admit that I cried at the end...hard. Even tho it is not the typical happy ending...it was meaningful, the sacrifice for love, what he did in my opinion was the extreme gesture of love.

In the end I would definitely, definitely recommend this Kdrama. You won’t regret watching it because it leaves you with some thinking about the meaning of life.

This is one of the kdramas that I never thought of watching ? not because it's not good, but because I got easily scared with horror movies ???? I was, however, convinced by my friend as she told me the story.

The effects are scary. I mean, great work, it really scared me.??? The story is great. It was funny especially when the grim reaper is eating during their investigation and the meat flew in the pool of blood ????

Role like this suited best for Go Ara. Her talent in acting is very noticeable in this drama. I found her really great in this drama. Mystery drama is her line.

The plot is very unique, and the plot twists are unexpected, and quite a number. I've never watched a kdrama that has this much plot twist. The story is really great. No boring episodes.

I'm writing this review because all the other reviews are extremely positive and feel biased.
I watched this after expecting something as good as Goblin because of what some people implied, which is why it bothered me so much that I had to write a review.

This drama did such a fine job connecting all dots to make sense, I loved it. It really made everything realistic and sensible. Each of the characters had a role to play that we slowly learned episode by episode, until the last 15minutes of the final episode. Suddenly, everyone had to make their own speculations on what happened. It still is so confusing even after reading what others THINK happened, because the drama did not clarify at all.
Really put me off and I was going to give it a very harsh rating, but then I remembered the acting and the music were so well done it was unfair.

So here we go, this is my critical review, 7.5.

P.S: I'm not a fan of typing a 3 pages essay to review anything.

When I first heard of 'Black', I thought the drama wasn't going to be interesting. The title wasn't convincing enough.
But... When I saw that Song Seung Heon was going to be in it, I smiled bright. I am a huge fan of his, and I love him so much.

I also watched this drama because of Go Ara. I love her acting. She's really amazing, and seems very sweet in reality.

This drama gave me a bit of a headache, but not in a bad way. Just in a way that required me to think.
I will say that you can't leave the room when the drama is playing.

So I seen this drama on my Netflix account and it looked good from the previews; however I kept passing on it due to the fact that it was made in 2017. I needed NEW shows. So I just kept passing it telling myself that I’d watch it on the weekend. P.s definitely watch it when you don’t have work or school. That’s how hooked this show gets you. I cannot put into words on this show. Such an amazing storyline. There are a lot of twist and turns throughout each episode.

However yesterday something told me just to watch it and oh man!! It was so good. I can’t even complain a whole lot on the ending but damn such amazing acting that’s for sure. You guys have to watch it!! I just loved it and was in complete shock.

when i say i was on HOOKED

Yes, my ratings don't add up. Let me explain why-

I loved the story so much that it really outshone my irritation for the female main lead and the very stupid decisions made by both main leads.

There was def. romance but it was not the main focus- it played a part in the story but not much screen time was spent on it, which was no problem for me.

The writers of this story really went above and beyond- the main characters being a bit stupid at times-especially the female lead Jesus- their overall characters were filled with secrets and stories I couldn't have predicted. They must've laced this story with crack cause when I tell you I could not stop thinking about it... whew!

I expected to feel more emotional about the characters, but I don't really like the lead actress so it made it a bit hard. The rest of the characters played their roles amazingly, sucking me the fuck in lmaoooo. As usual, I had second male lead syndrome but the main male lead also had a place in my heart!

Only issue I have with this besides the pure stupidity of the female lead is the fact that the ending was so rushed..... like the conclusion and wrapping up of the story occurred so quickly, and I feel like they could've devoted more time to it- it made me a bit confused.

Overall, even with everything I have complained about, this was a great watch. I usually tend to stay away from cop thrillers because they make me frustrated, but this frustration was great! I Def think you should watch it and you just get surprised by every episode!

Tape Eodisseo

The whole drama is about "Tape eodisseo" thats all I can say. Please don't watch if you watched the airplane scene and it seemed interesting, its a click bait lmao. While watching the drama I was like um tf bro.

Like honestly I guess the drama overall was okay (even though I wouldn't actively recommend it to anyone) and I am just salty about the airplane scene because all she sees is the black shadows and not actual ghosts.


The ending was neither good nor bad. It was an okay ending, nothing happy or suprising seeing the setting of a human and grim reaper so it is what it is. You can watch this if you have nothing left to watch.
