This drama sucked me in because of Song Seung Heon. Every role I've seen him play, it's been an awesome ride! And bonus... he's the sexiest thirst trap in the K-Drama game (cheekbones, abs, chiseled jawline... this list can go on and on)
"Black" was this whirlwind adventure of mystery, love, and paranormal navigation. Black is a grim reaper played by Song Seung Heon. He's a rough, tough, bounty hunter type, who is trying capture all the souls who are trying to run away from their judgment date. He then posses Han Moo Gang (also played by Song Seung Heon) to find a runaway grim reaper-in-training. In the midst of searching for the runaway, he begins investigating Han Moo Gang's case and it takes us through an interesting ride.
Go Ara plays Kang Ha-Ram who plays the typical k-drama lead. She's spunky, she's smart, and she's got a heart of gold. She gets premonitions of how people are going to die. She teams up with Black to help prevent people from meeting their untimely death. She tries not to get involved, but inevitably she helps those who need help, which often times causes her to be in danger.
The romance in this drama is sweet and short. It's cute but it's not necessary. What makes this a gem of a show is the action and the mystery aspect. The deeper they get into the case, the crazier the story gets. The best way to describe it, is "Truth is stranger than fiction"
The ensemble cast adds a lot to this drama. The characters are filled and have a developed storyline. They also add to the mystery and intrigue of the show. While I enjoyed the ride, the ending wasn't nearly as amazing as the journey. It wrapped up nicely, but I wasn't really satisfied.
