This review may contain spoilers
If they had followed the original script until the end = Masterpiece
Black holds a high level of tension throughout the whole show. It begins with a thrilling introduction of the plot's framework. The decisive that really makes Black extraordinary is the fact that it closes most loopholes and leaves you satisfied. (Even though the improvised end is the exact opposite of satisfaction…)
Still, this doesn't affect my rating of the plot. It´s a 9.0 for me, with a friendly shut-eye on the ending. On top of that, the series should be watched carefully. If not one will get lost in the story and won't understand how one thing leads to the other. It is a crime series that's about to unwrap an enormous-twisted and tragic case. So, get ready to be enchanted!
If you already know Song Seung Heon from previous dramas or movies, you know that he´s doing an incredible job. He portrays Black, a cold-hearted grim reaper with the number 444. In contrast to the apathetic Black, Song Seung Hoon also takes the role of a confused and sensitive detective. The entire concept of his role is stunning, which the actor undoubtedly understood.
Go Ah Ra is portraying Ha-Ram, a young woman who had to face uncountable lows in her life by having gifted eyes which allow her to see the shadows of people who will die soon. Compared to the rest of the cast, she also presented an acceptable/satisfying performance. Although I wished that her character would have given more importance in the story and not only for being used as a means for the purpose of the story.
The supporting cast exceeded my expectations!
The second male lead, Kim Dong Jun, did a pretty good job in portraying the rich kid that had a miserable life and therefore searched for a chance to be recognized for his work. The twists and turns though will force him to grow out of the innocent perspective that had him put to the test.
Many police departments in crime dramas disappointed me in my life but the loser-team in Black is none of them. The whole team of detectives shines in bright colors in this series. All of them have a unique character and with their clumsy uniqueness and imperfections, they keep the audience entertained, both crying and laughing for this show. Therefore I want to give the "crazy dog" detective Kim Won Hae special credits for such a marvellous performance.
The rest of the cast was also doing a damn good job and I have nothing to nag about. From the grim reapers number 007 (Jo Jae Yoon) and 416 (Lee Gyu Bok), who keep their friend Black company in hard times, over to Leo (Kim Jae Young) a celebrity with dark secrets. Every character had their significant moments and purposes in the series.
I just don´t want to anticipate anything.
There are many reasons to love Black and I only gave you a glimpse of it.
One last thing that I want to add:
The soundtracks fit the atmosphere very well, especially the piano OST. Unfortunately, it wasn´t released yet. I am still waiting. Until this day.
