Black

“Black” is a Korean drama Netflix series that originally aired on OCN. The show is about a Grim Reaper, a detective, and a woman who foresees death. The characters get ensnared in matters of life and death — and the dark mysteries of twenty years past.

I am a huge fan of Korean dramas. They are intense, funny, and overdramatic. I was excited to finally pick up a new show. There are eighteen episodes in total, each being about an hour and twenty minutes long. I normally do not watch action Korean dramas, but this one had really good reviews.

As soon as “Black” started, chills ran down my spine. The opening visuals are absolutely stunning. I could not tear my eyes away from the screen. I was definitely anticipating the start of of a new show.

“Black” had a good balance of drama, action, comedy, romance, and crime. Every episode kept me on the edge of my seat, with intense plot twists that made my stomach drop. The cast did a really good job of making me totally immerse myself in the story. Just when I thought one thing would happen, there was always a change that would blow my mind.

Overall, “Black” was a perfect show. It was really well-balanced, the acting was phenomenal, and the visuals were amazing. The show is worth watch
