Black out - good premise questionable execution
To start things off this K-drama is by no means bad it just could’ve been so much better.
Firstly i loved everything up until the culprit(s) reveal. The fact that every one was guilty for the 2 girls murders was just ridiculous. It felt like the writers were just adding more and more people as culprits just for shock value. If the culprits were just the 2 boys ( min su and byeong mu ) as well as the Doc without bringing in literally the entire cast being accomplices to the 2 boys it would've been sooo much better.
Here’s what i feel like should’ve happened instead, Geon oh (the police chief son) Byeong mu, min su and Boyeong were drinking then they get into the fight etc after she dies. Goon oh tries to call his father but is stoped. Byeong mu, Minsu and Geonoh load Boyeong’s body in Jongwoo’s car and the events play out same way as they did for Minsu and Byeong mu’s fathers (they crash the car and hide the body in the abandoned school) Geonoh helps cuz the other 2 tell him that the police wont believe him if he were to snitch. Later Da run dies by the hands of the doc.
There was literally no reason for some of these characters to be involved in the crime, the biggest example of this is Na Gyeom they tried to make her this super evil mastermind and had her be involved in literally everything and the writers failed so bad with the execution of her character especially. Both the boys fathers also did not need to be there.
As for the Chief and how Jongwoo will be framed, what could’ve happened was shortly after the crime has happened and the investigation began Geon oh could have incoherently told his father privately. His father (the chief) wanting to do anything to protect his son covers up any evidence and ends up framing Jongwoo etc.
And by far the most ridiculous part of this all was the location of Da eun’s body. Her body had no reason being there. Im sorry but when that reveal i found it so ridiculous. One again merely there for shock value, the matter with her body could be easily handled by having the doc hide it/bury it somewhere with the help of his wife, and later it gets found when he ( the doc) gets caught.
That isn’t to say that i was bad, there were many things that i liked in it too. I absolutely adored Ha seol as a character as well as the Mc, Jongwoo, i also liked how Dong min (Boyeong’s father) character was done, i felt bad for him but i also hated his guts at the same time. I also loved Detective Noh and his character development especially with Jongwoo. Su-ho & Geon oh were also characters i ended up loving so much, cant say the same for their dad tho. Of course there are other things that i liked in this too but I’ll end it here.
Over all would I recommend this kdrama to someone? Probably
Solid 8/10
