Slow and Steady Wins the Race
I've finally finished watching Black Out, and I must say I was excited to see Byun Yohan as the lead in a new drama. I don’t think I saw him in anything since Mr. Sunshine. He was heartwarming in that one and also pretty good in this one. So, yeah, Black Out, it’s a thriller that knows how to keep you guessing. The basic plot is about a guy who gets out of prison after serving ten years for a murder he says he doesn't remember. Of course, nobody believes him, and he has to try to figure out what actually happened.
What I liked:
The mystery: It's a classic "who-done-it," but with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. I was constantly changing my mind about who was guilty.
The acting: The lead actor, Byun Yohan, is excellent. He portrays the main character's confusion and desperation brilliantly. The supporting cast is also solid, with some characters you love to hate.
The pacing: The story unfolds at a good pace. It's neither too rushed nor too slow. There's always something happening, and new information is revealed at a reasonable rate.
The ending: Without giving away any spoilers, I found the ending to be satisfying. It wrapped up the loose ends and provided a sense of closure.
What I didn't like as much: Some of the side characters can be frustrating at times, and their motivations aren't always super clear. But that added to the suspense.
Overall, I'd say Black Out is a solid thriller. If you like shows with a good mystery, strong acting, and a satisfying ending, you'll enjoy this one. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I'd highly recommend it to other K-drama fans.
