STORY: Black has been one of my favourite dramas, even though it is boring at times. Sometimes it feels like you need a flowchart to keep up because it does get quite confusing. The murder/prostitution cases are all connected in one way or another and it is surprising. But the problem is that some are connected in *unrealistic* ways. It is weird how they are all linked and just when you have one thing figured out, another piece of evidence joins the puzzle. By the end of the journey you are hit with emotions such as sadness, excitement, frustration and overall exhaustion. The ending was kinda satisfactory. It was bitter sweet. But I read somewhere that it was supposed to be a really sad ending and the director changed it to a somewhat happy ending last minute, thus making it a tiny bit tacky. Also, Go Ah Ra's character could have had more development, but that is just my opinion. In addition, you can tell that some parts are utter garbage and boring filler.
ACTING/CASTING: I have read a lot of comments stating that they don’t like Go Ah Ra and her acting. Saying that she portrays the character to be a whiny brat. Her acting was mundane but it was satisfying enough to display the character. As for the other actors/actress’ I believe that the acting was wonderfully done, showing true emotions. I couldn’t stop crying during episode 17 and 18 because of the Song Seung Heon’s acting. Also, Woo Hyun’s portrayal of his character was accurate and remarkable.
MUSIC: The music was standard but I really liked the original sound track. My favourite from the OST would be Another Me sung by Min Chae. But I also loved the others. If you haven't checked out the original sound track for this show, you definitely should!
REWATCH VALUE: The re-watch value is kinda high. I have already seen some episodes twice.
CONCLUSION: Black is a good K-Drama. I recommend this drama and I hope you give it a chance. I am sad that it’s over. It had its good and bad parts. Beautifully shot as well. Massive credit to writers, the director, actors/actress’ and other staff for making this drama. And I know I might be biased but this drama does hold a special place in my heart. No matter how boring some parts were.
