Big May 30 2020 12:00 pm This drama is so good, if u like detective stuff and more of a twist you'll definetely love this drama.

Some of u might get bored because its not the romantic type of drama and the ending was bad but for me it satisfied me.

We all have different taste but for me, this is the one that I should give a 100/10

Helen May 24 2020 11:09 pm I'm on episode 15 now and still watching, but this drama got me lost the whole time. Keeps introducing new ppl and cases and takes the long route to explain the relationships. Like i really wish it would stop introducing all these ppl out of nowhere. They're like minor characters too so their faces barely show up, so it's really hard for me to match the face and the names.

Tina May 12 2020 1:27 am NO spoiler review! If you're still undecided whether to watch this drama or not because of mixed reviews, here's a summary of the features (in my humble opinion): Pros: - it has a very T-R-A-G-I-C and beautiful story, which unfolds slowly in each episode with revelations that will exponentially shock you every time. - all the actors give a great performance and make you care for them. Props to the lead couple's chemistry and the stone-cold Kim Tae-woo cameo. - it subverts the "drama oppa" stereotype in a funny way, because the female lead mistakes 444's ruthlessness for heartbreak and mystery

Cons: - the frustrating editing. You will see alternate montages of a scene, its flashback and another scene in another time and place without any visual aid. It makes you cry "When was that? Why? Where are they?" - the story is legit, but its staging isn't. Get ready for evidence contamination, insubordination, people coming in and out of hospitals like nothing happened...

Overall: Don't expect much insight into the supernatural element, it's more of a detective story, but it is a very entertaining one, with some wig-snatching plot twists. And take notes of who's who or prepare to watch it a second time.

Jass Apr 22 2020 5:33 pm If you say the ending is bad then you probably dont understand the culture of the 49 days for korean :)

LB Apr 07 2020 2:18 pm When I wrote the last comment I was still watching it. But now it finished. And i must say the ending was terrible. There is only one thing I'll say about it: Then why did we watch all those tangled, never ending, tiring events!?

LB Apr 06 2020 6:45 pm The main thing about the drama is that the male lead is a grim reaper. But the drama is mostly about detective stuff. So, being a grim reaper doesn't add anything to the character. It's mostly like an accesory. Like you saying someone that: "Hey honey, i am wearing a grim reaper soul today. What do you think?" And the plot is too complicated. Tooooo complicated. And the male lead is a jerk. Other than that it's watchable(Is this even a word?).

Moon Apr 02 2020 4:49 am Im note sure about the ending. It is a happy one though, but not what we hoped for. Too rush. What happen with the others? I like the connection of all the happenings. Love Song Seung Heon.

Raisha Feb 25 2020 8:59 pm @Katrina i'm totally agree with you. Especially for a boy who should be actually crushed by a building and missing a hand, but why at the end that boy became a hit n run accident victim? What a nonsense. I'm a big fan all of kind logical mistery or criminal drama. This drama storyline it's like such a mess.

Anon Feb 12 2020 11:18 am @Katrina i can answer one of your question about why Han Moo-Gang dead in hostage situation if u watch the drama its explain it that in first hostage situation there are two victims not one Han Moo-Gang also dead in that hostage situation. She explains her vision that she saw blood flow from behind her.

Again lala Jan 28 2020 3:06 am So any people said that the ending is very bad... I feel the ending was very good tho.. Its the best way to end the drama... Overall the drama is good and have many plot twist.. I like it.. Song Seung heon and Go Ara did a great job at portraying the character.. The other cast did a good job too... Im satisfied with the ending

Katrina Nov 17 2019 3:19 pm After all the positive reviews (except the disappointment in the ending) I expected something much better than this. The whole thing was just a mess IMO. It was a convoluted and much too complex story, that often made no sense.

If you are a fan of logical mystery/suspense, don't waste your time. This is like an amateur Wattpad-type story, not a thinking person's mystery. And you know about crazy coincidences is K-dramas? Well, this has got every other one beat, to the point of ridiculousness. The acting isn't bad, but the writing is awful. But if you just like the main actors and romance and don't care about the details, go for it!=.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The police were incompetent over and over and over. They didn't wear gloves when handling evidence, threw up on the crime scene, walked over blood at the crime scene and often were just completely clueless. And the medical examiners/doctors who examined the murder victims were incompetent as well, missing important things, ex. - a supposed hit and run victim, that was actually crushed by a building and missing a hand, but no explanation for that - was the ME paid off? Who knows? And they let a detective with a bullet in his head, who is uncontrollable and often AWOL, just continue to work when it suits him. Even after he's suspended he shows up and is allowed to do all kinds of things at the station.

A heart transplant was performed with just two people (not sure that's even possible) and they managed to keep it a secret. Faked the paperwork supposedly, but to what end? They can't tell anyone he had a transplant without raising questions, so why would they have faked paperwork? When they were offered a suitable heart immediately following, how did they explain not taking it? I guess that's why the move to the US, but still just ridiculous. And that's beside the fact that mom decided to do this in the heat of the moment, as the opportunity arose, though it would probably require quite a bit of planning and preparation. Amidst this big disaster they might have been able to hide some things, but how would there have been an open OR at that point? Were they able to sneak out the medications they needed, like anesthesia, the oh-so-rare rh- blood?

As for the shooting of Moo-gang, well here's another spur-of-the moment opportunity to kill the enemy. Nobody knew he was going to be there. Before Haram changed the outcome, he didn't go there, but he's there as a hostage for what appears to be a very brief time, but the sniper gets the order to kill him. What???

Oh and lets form an evil cabal and then give the three participants unique butterfly watches so everyone will know we're working together. Brilliant.

And why does Haram even like Black? Sure he protects her many times, but the majority of the time he is quite hurtful about her abilities and is blatantly using her for his own purposes. He turns his back on her whenever what she wants doesn't go with his needs. We may understand why he's this way, but from her viewpoint he's just horrible.

The list could go on and on, but I don't think I want to waste anymore time on this one.

BitterButter Nov 16 2019 8:37 pm Black is a crime drama coated with paranormal fantasy. It is never a waste of time to watch because the whole drama reflects the reality. How evil people can be just to protect their own. It's not a perfect drama but it is indeed BRAVE and sincere. And I applaud the cast for their convincing portrayals. ESP. Go Ara! She is an actress who does her part passionately. She has the power to make boring and flat scenes alive. That's why I would try to watch wherever she is in.

anon Oct 11 2019 10:12 pm ok, so I guess not the entire show was a waste of time but kinda disappointed with the ending :/ (it did keep me watching the whole thing instead of skipping episodes, which is hard to do) overall most of it was pretty good, but I have ....whats the word....? misgiving? problems? with the ending. wish the last 4 or so episodes went in a different direction I guess.

anon Oct 11 2019 10:08 pm the ending was so bad why did I even watch this ahhhhhhhhhh why did I waste my weekend watching this???

Tamitha Sep 21 2019 1:17 pm Love Black. Song Seung Heon is exceptional. Give me more.

mimzy Aug 21 2019 1:17 pm this drama is super good but am i the only person who thought that the ending was so bad it is a little bit banal

Goblim Aug 20 2019 6:18 pm 4/10....boring drama. I stop watching because of the actress character is mehhhh, so annoyed the crap of me tbh. Male lead Song Seung Hun is savage, amazing and funny but female lead Go Ah Ra so annoying, stupid, her acting skills (especially in hwarang, reply1994, the magican) are questionable.

yasmin Jul 16 2019 9:07 am Thank you for this wonderful enlightening movie. It brought back memories, of those who got killed in this mall, when it had fallen, and no one got any compensation. Thank you for a movie that shows human trafficking, at any age, and thank you for a team that brought this movie an understanding. This was very well put together, the ending was too much, but it made my night. Thank you for pulling all the pieces together. I myself wanted to know how everyone involved would be dealt with and Black brought it together nicely. well done. I give you guys an A++. (:)

Nobody Jun 27 2019 6:20 am I just dont get it. Why does she didn’t notice the shadow when han moo gang was wearing that hospital gown. It’s not even black. And why didn’t she warn oh man soo that she saw him dying. A

Yenny May 20 2019 6:34 pm Love the casts. SSH oppa! So cool. Go Ara is one of my favourite gals now. The story is very good. Always made me curious in every ending of the episodes. Not boring at all. Recommended for those who loves mystery.

anastasia May 16 2019 1:19 am this is the longest drama whose story isn't boring at all. I like the story. moreover the message of the final story is completely amazing. yes, how many people are greedy in this world.

Olivia May 05 2019 8:01 am As expected from OCN :) this drama is just perfect and incredible. The main characters are so good and I love the story line

Reborn King Mar 13 2019 8:18 am Am I the only one who loves Black as it is?

James Feb 21 2019 3:09 pm The actors, especially Lee El, Kim Won Hae, Song Seung Heon and the ensemble cast were exceptional.

The script, however, was atrocious. The story is good. Really good, but the execution is huge miss. This drama is full of plot holes, lazy writing and poor editing. A huge discredit to the excellent cast. Rarely do I find myself wanting to finish a series just to find out how it ends because the way the story is being told is so torturous. The best part of the series are the last 3 episodes. Almost all the earlier episodes contain way too much rubbish.

If you want a really good series, watch Korean Odyssey or Goblin.

S. Gray Feb 11 2019 10:16 pm Good series. Most North American shows pale beside it! Wel done!

Melanysus Jan 31 2019 6:34 pm Just finished watching this, and thought it was one of the best (Korean) dramas I've seen so far. The storyline itself was engrossing, and I liked the depth and body given to virtually all the characters. My only gripes, though, were the strange plotholes and---like everybody else has pointed out here and on other review sites---THAT ENDING. It reminded me of the way another K-drama, The Miracle We Met, concluded. Anticlimactic and invalidating of the entire series.

kpopandgrime Jan 30 2019 1:41 pm I must give it to the director; this was an amazing drama for 17 ep and then things just got out of hand I must say for the last episode (nonetheless this was one of the best thrillers I have ever watched).

Never seen a plot like it before, and the amounts of twists just made this drama one never to be forgot. ok we get it; the last episode was questionable but there was 17 ep of brilliance (so lets not hate on a great drama).just phenomenal and everyone out there looking for a new drama; this is the one and I ensure you that you would not regret it.

Love From London

Emily Jan 18 2019 6:39 pm This was an engrossing, well-acted drama. The plot was so complicated and full of twists I was surprised that everything got tied up by the end. However, I felt kind of cheated by the ending.

ika Jan 06 2019 8:29 am ....fake that I can't concentrate on crying cause they look funny lol tho the ending still didn't satisfy me ugh but it was so great and awesome anyway ?? I still didn't get some things (should really watch it again asap) like the amusement park??? Like did Haram see it because she's half human and half grim reaper? I mean what's that amusement park anyway? A place for grim reapers? Or did I miss something lol. But omg I'm so sad.... when I think about Joon, so heartbreaking :(

Ella Jan 03 2019 2:09 am Just a guess, but to answer Jose's question there is a 444. It's just not in current history. I'm thinking the 444 was the year he was created. I don't think there was a concept of dates and months back then.

Zainal Abidin Dec 18 2018 7:46 pm "Thank you for watching. Black was a story about human desires and greed, influence those around us. We hope it was a chance to reflect on people around us. Black was based on events that wont be forgotten. We hope that it gave strength, to the victims and families from those events. Thank you again for watching."

Im really interested to find out more about the events. like were some plots in Black actually based on true story?

The Korean drama series, thus far, have exceeded my expectation through and through. Choi Ran, I want to express my gratitude for your excellent script writing and wished things would have moved towards your way till the very end. if there is a chance, I would want to watch Black again but with "your ending".

This was the first time I saw Go Ara and have then watched Reply 1994, Ms Hammurabi, Hwarang and You Are All Surrounded. Some of her drama series are actually based on true events which I enjoy looking it up on the internet especially Hwarang, it gave me goosebumps to read the character names on Wikipedia.

I really appreciate the brilliance of Korean drama in bringing historical and factual events in their story which is rare to watch in many due to sensitivity.

Thank you again.

Andra..❤ Dec 10 2018 6:12 pm I'm from Nigeria and I watch every korean show and movie and guess what ?, OCN never disappoints !!!!!!..You guys make the best thriller and horror movies..When I see a movie by OCN, I always anticipate .You guys rock.For real??❤❤

Tiff Nov 20 2018 9:37 am It took me a year to watched this drama. I don’t like ghosts or any suspense/thriller kind of drama because i can’t take it.

After watching The Player. I searched dramas and movies that Song Seung Hoon may have appeared. And I found this. Honestly, i already know this drama because it was already aired in our country. But I can’t find any courage to watch this. I don’t know what hits me. And i’ve found myself downloading all its episodes. And now that I’ve watched it, its indeed a superb drama.I can’t say that i would be able to watch another type of this drama. But I don’t regret watching it. Afterall, this is a must watch korean drama.

Go Ara! Song Seung Hoon. See you in your next drama. I’ll be waiting. For the cast of Black, Fighting!

Cheers! This may be too late. But anyway, congratulations to the success of this drama. Saranghae black!

Macky Nov 14 2018 3:30 am This drama was truly magnificent. Right from start to almost finish. Lmao. I really don't know what to say about the ending besides that a five year old could have written a better one. ??

The very ending seen was cute but the 15 minutes before that scene were a mess. It really just didn't make any sense at all. And with how it turned out it felt like the whole story we just spent more than 20 hrs watching was all for nothing.

Without a doubt I'd still recommend it to everyone. It really was written very well besides the last episode. I'm really just choosing to believe that half the stuff in the last episode didn't happen for my own sanity. Haha

Berry Oct 09 2018 3:01 pm @Jose, Grim reaper 444 was a natural, he didn't become a grim reaper after dying, it was his true nature, that's why he calls the ones who were originally human "low borns",he undermined them since he was a pure bred grim reaper,... enjoying the drama, loving t

José Sep 08 2018 9:50 am So I absolutely loved this drama but there are a lot of things I don't understand and want an answer to, but there's only thing I just can't get out of my head;

 Grim reaper 416 is 416 because he died the 16 of April. Reaper 007 also confirms that people who dies and becomes grim reapers will be called by the number of the date they died. 
 Then why tf is reaper 444 called 444? I mean... there is no such date, shouldn't he be 420, since that's when he died? (Or if he died another date? i don't really remember...)

Cynthia Allem Aug 31 2018 8:01 pm I first would like to I too loved the show. But more importantly SSH. He is am amazing actor. But there"s tthis 8p0lb guerrilla in the room that is addressing. The reason our co stars joined forces was so Black could use Harman to find his partner. Who is hiding body of Leo. So why cant shrle see the smoke in him???

Kammy Aug 29 2018 4:55 am Overall this drama was incredible. Thinking about it now, I haven’t felt adrenaline while watching a kdrama in a such a long time. So when I started watching I was always excited and was so impatient to learn the whole story. To see where the domino effect had started that I couldn’t turn it off. I definitely recommend this drama to whoever that is looking into it or debating to watch it right now.

After finishing the story I was left with so many thoughts and feelings and so many questions. I don’t have any friends that like to watch Korean novelas so I don’t really have anywhere else to share or talk about this with. So I wanna vent, whine and ask questions. If you haven’t watched the drama yet don’t keep reading my rant. But if you have and feel the same way that I do- let’s be upset together shall we?

Okay so I’m really upset about how it ended. The story was just too well written for it to have ended that way. I’ve been trying to look into it and apparently something happened with the writer (or writing team?). I’m not exactly sure if it was a falling out with another person or group within the production but something clearly happened. Anyways I guess The writer made a statement after watching the last airing of black and said something along the lines that he or she was sad that the ending was made and aired against her will. That she was sorry that her true ending she originally wanted to produce was lost in the sauce of it all (obviously she didn’t say lost in the sauce but to be fair the article I read was a English summary of a Korean article so I did my best). And I also read that the actors who played Joon and Ha ram also made individual statements for the last airing. They of course both thanked the loyal viewers and said the story was difficult and weary to film but since this was a genre completely different and new from anything they’ve done it was special to them. They both said how sad and sorry they were. I’m assuming they said this because of the ending. And apparently the show’s views didn’t go so well towards the show’s ending episodes which is really sad because of all the intricate writing and acting that went into it. Anyways I hope this experience doesn’t discourage the actors in this production to shy away from these type of genres. I thought they were all amazing, Both the lead and supporting cast.

What’s driving me crazy is wondering how was it supposed to end though? What was the ending the writer originally wanted? And why the heck didn’t it air that way? I so badly want to get in touch with the writer some how and ask. It feels so unfair. After that episode where we find out moo gang was actually the younger brother and joon died a long time ago as a child. I kept saying to myself the whole time “what if 444 was actually joon all along?” But then it didn’t make sense because he was killed and his body was found and laid to rest so it’s not like he was 416 where his body was never found after the mujin collapse and not laid to rest. So then after the episode with seung chil’s Parents trying to get their revenge and how 444 screamed No when trying to save the dad from dying I thought maybe he was actually seung chil since his body was never found but that didn’t seem to make sense either. And then I would think about the prologue in the beginning where 444 finds his body in the car. So I knew he had to be apart of that hit and run joon was involved in somehow. Or better yet I knew he was gonna have some sort of connection to joon and or his death in general. I thought he might have been the one driving the car that hits him but then it didn’t make sense because the body he was holding was in the passenger side. No matter what new connection I tried to make I always ended up back to the theory that 444 was somehow joon all along. And when he played that guitar and sang that song it proved my theory even more. And it’s so unfair. His story is so incredible sad. He was murdered at 13 by Someone he trusted so much, and ended up in that situation in the first place by Someone he cares for so much. And in the end he choose to live with his injustice and betrayal forever and all eternity to protect the woman he loves. And he won’t even be remembered by these people. If that’s not the saddest story ever then idk what is. Why did they end it this way?

And although his ending breaks my heart the most, it isn’t the only one. I keep thinking of the original 444, kang ha ram’s dad. He loved ha ram and her mother so much. He loved helping people and loved joon like his own son. So it felt sad to me that technically another man would be living that part of the life he risked to build. I’m pretty sure ha rams parents were both supposed to die that night in the car crash but because the original 444 made eye contact and fell in love with her mom he probably possessed that mans body to save her. And then just decided to stay in the body and not too long after ha ram was conceived. A lot of people think that the reason she was still able to be born was because there wasn’t a grim reaper there to make her parents deaths happen but if they were originally supposed to die then that accident still would have happened anyways but just with a different reaper there to collect their soul. In the very end, joon had said that he stopped kang ha rams parents from dying. I think what happened is that he might have did something to some how intervene so that the crash never happened or atleast that it didn’t end with fatal casualties. I mean he already has the maximum consequence a grim reaper could have so I doubt he cared if he broke any more rules for the sake of kang ha ram. So anyways like I was saying, I feel sorry for the original 444 Because the body he possessed was never ha rams father to begin with if you think about it. The body was yes but not the soul that was previously inside. So yes technically kang ha ram was raised by another man. Original 444’s sacrifice and risk was for nothing. He knew the rules about killing a human. But he did it anyways to save his wife and child. He knew that when he eventually dies he’ll perish but accepted it because atleast he’s been loved and gave love. Not to mention leaving a piece of him in the human world. And that piece being ha ram of course. But then again I’m sure he figured by the time he dies it would have been long after kang ha ram was an adult had a family of her own. All that becomes a waste when life resets

You know what else is a waste? All those people that were helped and all that was revealed about the rapes and murders. Joon not existing wouldn’t have stopped it from happening. I’m sure it still happened but to other people and they probably lived life without justice. Unless it really only happened because soo wan was sent to live with Clara due to joons mom going to jail for him. If she never went to jail then soo wan never went to Clara nor was introduced to that life. I know joons mom worked as a prostitute but I doubt she’d ever try to convince soo yoon to live life the same way. If that’s how it happens, if joon really was the domino that somehow started it all only then I can see why joons sacrifice in the end was needed. But the collapse still would have happened and some of the deaths still would have happened because of those greedy congressman. But not all of them so I guess that’s good. But then what about those random people kang ha ram tried to save throughout the show. I know she didn’t end up saving that little boy (okay but can we just Pause for a second and reflect on how messed up that was? I still thought about it throughout the entire show. The dad always gave me Lowkey creepy vibes I felt something was off about him but I ignored it because the pedo teacher was the main focus. Smh never ignore your instincts you guys) but so does that mean that little girl ended up getting buried alive too? no one was there to catch the teacher so I’m assuming he continues to molest children in this alternate reality. Also, since the kids get buried alive that means they’ll end up becoming reapers because their bodies were never found nor laid to rest. I wonder if joon will ever come across them in the reaper world. If he does then I hope he takes them under his wing and guide them like how The reaper who collected his soul as child did. And then what about man soo’s mom? In this reality Kang ha ram never meets man soo so she never meets his mom to help her reveal the truth about her other son nor was there to help keep her from committing sucide. And man soo was probably never there to save her either. When I think about all these things, this is what makes me feel like joons sacrifice was such a painful and heartbreaking waste.

Last but not least the very end. When kang ha ram was given that bracelet and started crying did she finally remember? Or was it that she realized the story was actually about her and she was crying because she couldn’t remember any of it and felt so sorry towards the reaper. When ha ram and joon finally reunite in the end, I know a lot of people considered that a somewhat good ending because that means they’re finally together. But that probably isn’t true. Because for one, what about her late husband that was probably waiting for her in the afterlife (even better question, who the heck did she even end up marrying???) and for 2, she died from old age. She didn’t kill herself (unless her staying out in the cold from night to morning was her way of killing herself) and her body wasnt hidden after death. I personally don’t believe they ended up together. As much as I cried and wished that they did I really don’t think they ended up together in the end Unless there was some way for her to become a reaper and stay with him for all eternity. Joon no longer has the chance to join paradise, he never existed as a human. Hes now one of those people who were just born a reaper. With No human past. So unless there was a way for her to stay with him as he is I feel like he was just there to collect her soul and be that familiar face to take her to her afterlife. For some reason I feel like they’ll only be together when she dies. He’ll always be there to collect her soul in every life time. At the end of every life she lives they’ll meet again just to part ways again. And that’s how their love will continue on. I hope I’m wrong though. I really do.

Anyways that’s my rant whine and questions thingy. I probably looks like an essay at this point lmao I’m sorry. If any of you read up to this point-for one, I’m super super super shocked. And two- thank you for letting me vent to you. Like I said I have no friends that are into to these things so whenever I come across a drama like this I’m usually stuck feeling sad and frustrated on my own. But after letting it all out I think I’ll be able to get over it faster than I originally would have. Idk if I’ll ever be able to watch Black again. But I’ll never stop recommending it. It’ll always stay in my heart and be one of my favorite Korean novela. Thanks for reading.

xolove Aug 15 2018 5:01 am Kang HaRam is a fool...??

Ore-sama Aug 14 2018 12:24 pm Kim Tae-Woo cameo as 444 was superb! I think he portrayed a real coldblooded vibe better than the lead. Its just you can feel the mysterious aura as he played.

Ore-sama Aug 14 2018 12:17 pm I just finish ep 3 but I am really curious so I just want to ramdomly comment on somewhere, if she can see grim reaper as shadow so why cant she see 444 inside dead Moo-Gang?

Ore-sama Aug 14 2018 8:58 am I watch this before reading the synopsis. At first I thought it just a detective story with the help of shaman girl..and that alone is enough for me to enjoy..but at the end of episode 1 there was major twist!! The detective was possessed by non-human creature, and there was another secret story about the detective, grim reaper and the shaman! And they add on comical scene, which make it a great story.

sara Aug 07 2018 4:29 am i watch black after saimdang and i found that the main actors need to die to become together. im cryingggg.

actually i want black to be with soo wan. because she is his first love right. i dont understand why he fall in love with ha ram in the end.

Etha Jul 29 2018 11:12 pm YOU MUST WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!! RECOMMENDED!!!

I really love this drama. I watched it twice and read many reference to understand the whole drama. Hahahaha. I like the plot. I love their chemistry (Sung Seung Heun and Go Ara). I love Sung Seung Heun since his role in 'He Was Cool' but I don't like Go Ara when I watched 'Reply 1994'. But when I started watch this drama, WOW, I love them!!! Sooooo mucchhh!!! I love how Ha-Ram feel frustated to save people's life and Black to avoid his 'human feeling'. Hahahaha.

One thing that bother me when Joon jump down from the cliff to suicide and CCTV take it. Lol. I think that scene so ridiculous. I prefer he did it like Ha-Ram did. It will be more logic. I don't think that there are CCTV on the place like that, except the angle is from CCTV in the car.

The most beautiful moment is the last scene. I LOVE it so much. I think Joon's decision in the end is perfect because everything happen in Moojin start from him. I think it sounds very bad. Yes, but I think so. Kim Joon was a bad boy. When he decided to be a nice one, his friend put the drug and made her mother jailed. It made Sun-Young a.k.a Yoon So-Wan decided to work as underage prostitute. And then, everything about Moojin Time Mart and Royal Insurance happens. Ha-Ram who love Joon decide to interfere with his fate.

Sorry for my bad English. But I really recommended this drama. Watch it to make your heart race. Watch it twice to analize and make your own opinion about the last episode.

Beatriz Jul 26 2018 1:38 am Answering the questions about Grim Reapers dying and Black’s inmortality, Grim Reapers have power over life and death, their powerful being could bring back from the death a human body, they could move from body to body if they pleased, as long as they avoid dying in the body, because then the Grim Reaper would lose their memories, and go back to the underworld as human soul again.

Black became trapped when he entered his brother’s body, his body (heart) recognized his soul and held onto it tightly, he couldn’t leave this body just as human souls can’t leave their human bodies. However, his soul was still a Grim Reaper and with fast healing capabilities he continued to heal his own body over and over

Beatriz Jul 26 2018 1:19 am First time I watch a Korean drama and I watched it twice in 2 weeks. Answering some questions posted here: Why she can’t see Leo’s shadow? He was advised directly from someone evading capture for 100 years, so he knew the trick of black clothing, notice that Black and Leo also wore black undershirt that covered their shadow (I checked), Black also used black undershirts when wearing a hospital gown.

The number 4 is written similarly as death word, which makes it a very unlucky number that means “Death”. Being named 444 would be akin as being called Death Death Death, notice how he was called “heartless” because his body was indeed heartless

Anathasia Jul 24 2018 1:37 am I will re-post the comment of Elwhytee for the question.

Just finished this drama, and I was totally hooked. The plot is really other worldly, really awesome, although the ending left me with lot of questions. I gave some thoughts to it and read some theories online. So, just gonna compile some theories here:

1. Q: Why can't Ha-Ram see Leo's shadow? A: before the time reset, Loser (Leo) being 444's partner, was Ha-Ram's grim reaper, and Ha-Ram couldn't see her own death. But she could indirectly see her death from other people's shadows (Eg. Her mom trying to kill both of them). After the time reset, Ha-Ram was born normal, without any grim reaper blood in her, thus she wouldn't even be able to see any shadows.

2. Q: why then, did time reset to before even Ha-Ram was born? How is it that Ha-Ram was born normal? A: the grim reaper world and the human world runs on totally different timelines. Meaning, the grim reaper world's timeline will not be affected by the change in human world timeline. That said, the previous 444 (Ha-Ram's grim reaper dad), vanished, ceased to exist in the grim reaper world, therefore, he wouldn't even exist in the newly reset human world, and there would be no grim reaper to take away the souls of Ha-Ram's parents. Assuming that events (that were not interfered with by grim reapers who no longer exists) which originally happened will still happen in the new time reset, Ha-Ram would still be born on the same day, same year, same time. Of course, this means the rapes and murders will still happen.

3. Q: how did ha-ram's grim reaper father die? A: he killed a man who took his wife as hostage. As punishment from the laws of grim reaper world, he would have vanished. I assume that grim reapers who killed a human will not die right on the spot, it's just that they will be vulnerable to death, meaning, when their human host die again, they would be forced to leave the body and return back to the grim reaper world to accept punishment. The human body will then be unable to rejuvenate. Her father was therefore able to be killed by the Chinese-korean serial murderer.

4. Q: why was ha-ram able to reunite with Joon after her death, and why did Joon still have Moo gang's face? A: Joon received the ultimate punshiment, he ceased to exist, meaning his entire human life was erased, but the fact that he was a grim reaper would not change, and he continues to serve as a grim reaper. I guess, that's a loop hole in the law of the grim reapers' world, and 444 was smart enough to use it to his advantage. 444 has Moo gang's face because a grim reaper, whose human body was not found, could choose any face they want and change it just like changing clothes.

5. Q: why Loser (Leo) still remembers the sad love story of 444? A: As mentioned previously, the grim reaper world and human world's timeline works differently, therefore, all the grim reapers will still remember 444 (joon)

I really like this drama, though there are some ridiculous scenes (Eg. How the middle finger guy got killed so easily in the end when he was like an unbeatable monster boss in the previous episodes), the drama was really well planned out (at least for the first 17 episodes) and I couldn't miss any moment or dialogue because I was afraid I missed out important clues to this complicated case. I'll definitely give a 9.9/10 for this drama!!!

Signore Jul 23 2018 3:35 am Probably one of the faster paced K-dramas with lots of plot twists and acceptable ending. Last few episodes were tad rush.

Anybody kind enough to explain the following? I may have missed out during my first view:

a. How/why is the date of joe black's death 444? April 44th?

b. Did the show explain why black is immortal?

Appreciate if anybody could help explain or refer to the relevant episodes.

Nevertheless, great series!

Thanks!

JoeHuyk Jul 22 2018 6:59 am I loved it But the writer should really learn to end things properly.

Too many twits and it got the best of the drama in the end.

as much as it was interested superb acting, i couldn't help but to be disappointed by so many twist:

- how can she shoot a shadow? why do they have to make her part of that twist - how come there are CCTV footage next to a cliff showing black jumping off... - we never got to find out who was the grimper inside Ha ram dad... - black could have lived as a human instead making such a rukus for nothing logicall he was in his right... anyway a apart from these, the drama is Amazing... please watch , is funny , clever and superb acting

.

michael chan Jun 24 2018 11:13 pm This is the first time I actually watched a Korean series from start to end and I really liked it. The plot is very interesting and the acting was superb. I especially loved the conflict between Black and his true mother. It was so touching when Black realized the truth about his mother and when he went to his mother's restaurant. And that picture he took with his mother....I was just crying my heart out while watching that scene. I actually binged watched this on Netflix. Love it so much.

Ethan Jun 19 2018 1:24 pm Why cant she see the shadow inside Leo’s body?

Cathrine Jun 18 2018 3:37 am I think this drama has a complicated problem. But I am very like charachter of Seung Hoon oppa and acting of Go Ara... First thing I look Seung Hoon oppa (ehh ajusshii) I think he is not too handsome and he is too old. But when I saw him in this drama wow he is so cool and very charming. I love him.. . But, I confuse about Leo. Why Kang Ha Ram not see black shadow in Leo's body?? And Leo was died before Han Moo Gang die. But when Ha Ram with Black in Moo Gang's body see Leo, Ha Ram see nothing shadow.. Anyone can explain this to me?? Thank You..

But to all staff and too all actors and actress, you are guys have a great jobs...

deckaroo Jun 13 2018 2:25 pm This drama is one of the best for me. I love the twists and revelations. I got emotional when kim joon discovered that the reason why he couldn't come out is because the soul recognizes his heart. at first i was so confused with the flow of the story but when you watch it form start to end everything will be cleared to you. all the stars in this drama suits the characters they are portraying. i want to rate this drama 9/10 :) .

ToniaB Jun 13 2018 5:21 am All In all. It was superb, but the last 3 episodes were rushed. I think joon can use moo gang body because it is his heart that is in it

ToniaB Jun 13 2018 5:18 am @lily I think the reason why he couldn't come out is because of the heart in moo gang body. The heart is for Kim joon

ToniaB Jun 11 2018 5:46 pm @ricky she is half grim reaper that's why, that fact was made obvious to us In episode 15

Lily Jun 11 2018 1:27 pm I really enjoyed the drama. I didn't understand the drama at first, so I decided to rewatch everything again. This drama is a perfect example of pleasure and greed where the superiors flaunted their position to have sexual pleasures from young teenagers that caused harm to not just the victims but their friends and families. Every crime was pointed in different directions but really, it pointed to the Mayor of Mujin who had the most power. Because the superiors have so much power, they were able to bribe people to kill and lie for a better living. Overall, I loved the cast and the storyline. And for this who asked why 444 couldn't get out of his little brother's body, they mentioned that "the body recognizes the soul and that's why the soul cannot come out". The two brothers were very close as if they were one person that's why 444 (Joom Kim) couldn't come out of the body.

April Jun 10 2018 8:00 pm This drama is REALLY BAD. Not just a little bad. It's terrible. So much so that this is the first time I've ever posted a comment on asianwiki, but I felt I should do it for this.

The first episode was okay. And I was excited about episode two. But to be honest I could not get past it. I had to stop watching. But I wanted to like the show SO MUCH that I tried to continue later that day and just couldn't do it.

If you like watching people throw up on people numerous times in every episode, also numerous scenes of blurred out nudity, and diolague that makes no sense then maybe this show is for you. But its not for me. At all.

There is nothing likable or interesting about this grim reaper. He has been reaping, but doesn't understand normal human things after all this time? I just missed the main guy who was much nicer even if he did throw up all the time.

If you want to see a good Korean drama watch Healer, Two Worlds, City Hunter, My love from another star, or that mermaid one.

Ricky Jun 10 2018 11:39 am Episode 13 : ha ram was stabbed on her stomach couple of times by the serial killer and saved by the actor

Episode 14 : ha ram fine fine and looked strong. Even in the hospital didnt get any treatment or operation for the stomach stabbing.

I think the movie too exiting until forgotten that ha ram was stabbed her stomach become nothing happen to her.

cutieee99 Jun 07 2018 12:07 am This kdrama is a bomb.. all the casts did really great. kudos to all of them and the writers and director. Black is the best grim reaper ever and haram is the best too!! Great job seungheon and go ara. really like them both!!

sumayah May 29 2018 1:43 pm This is my first time ever writing a comment about a drama. I am taking my time to write this because this is honestly such a good drama. I couldn’t pass on it and not write a review. This drama by far is the most amazing drama I have ever seen. The story line just everything was perfect from beginning to end. Take your time and watch this. I promise you won’t regret it!

Ida May 19 2018 1:17 pm I thought I was the only one who was confused but when I read the comments, many were as confused as I was. Lol! I had to watch the last 3 episodes a few times before I could fully understand what was going on. Only thing in the end why didn't Kim Joon go back to his own body (Agent 444) instead of using Moo Gang's body when he came to fetch Ha Ram? And Black can be funny when he is dumb! ?

NINE May 09 2018 10:10 am The connections in this drama are quite great. They tend not to leave pieces of the storyline. It's hard to actually survive a mystery drama that will make its audience more curious every episode but this drama proves it can. I enjoyed it overall. I love how there are more hidden stories, they didn't just stick to the generic type. I applaud the writer for a job well done. The actors are superb especially 444. This is a must watch :)

hana May 09 2018 3:23 am first time i watch this drama it so confusing..but i watch again and search for some point part that i was missing..now i understand the story..so this drama i think it was good..i wish to those of you who confused about the story watch it again..remember watch it and think solve the case with him you will understand it..enjoyy..?

Lee Seohwa May 08 2018 2:46 pm @Beaboi I agree, Seung heon could be the older version of Taecyeon when Taecyeon grows older into 40 age.

Lee Seohwa May 08 2018 2:34 pm This series is good but I found it hard to understand about this drama series....

Evelyn May 07 2018 7:57 am i really enjoying this drama because of the genre, but honestly the story line confusing me. There are too much characters in this drama that i can't remember -like clara, 419 etc- and too much past stories and too much nonsense like this and that things. But i decided to keep enjoy watching this. Its okay

Min Apr 24 2018 12:21 am I'm confused too.. y is his no. 444 when the number supposed to be date of death? Y Ha Ram could see shadow on her dad when he is wearing black? Loser is Leo? I thought its the doctor?

Pai Apr 21 2018 1:36 pm @ the person who said Seungheon looks like Ok Taecyon, I AGREE lol every time he appears on screen I have to remind myself it isn't really him

Fifa Sebastian Apr 19 2018 1:07 pm I try to hold tears at every sad part. But finally, i end up tearing at Kim Joon with his mother part at his mother's stall. And at the ending. I teared happily.

Cynthia Allen Apr 15 2018 10:59 am When I first watched could barely get past 2nd episode. But I stuck with it. Especially when Mr.SsH turns into Black. From that point on it was totally enjoyable. But it does require a revisit.when I watched again I found things I totally missed before. I suggest to those of you who are confused about the story line and side stories to watch it again. Its worth it. And ladies Mr Song is definitely worth a second look or three. Bottom line I loved the series and the actors. Wish Netflix does a sequel.

NUR FITRIA IBRAHIM Apr 06 2018 9:19 pm well its because someone post it on news feed so i come down to watch it, the ost that catch me first...thank you to nam taehyun song+voice make this drama look so mysterious and thriller for me but the ending of the drama really make me feel like...(what....)... for me...soundtrack give big impact to me to watch the drama... well that's how i feel...

Beaboi Apr 04 2018 1:46 am Seungheon looks like ok taecyon.. is it just me?

Lauren Mar 30 2018 3:16 pm Woah idk what to say bout this drama its one of the best drama ever n song seung heon u r too hottt

H Mar 27 2018 4:38 am And what kind of date is 444 (since the numbers assigned are dates of their deaths)? I guess they wanted to avoid 420 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I mean, they could've made it 21 April tho

H Mar 27 2018 4:25 am One of the craziest and most confusing drama I've seen ? every single plot twist left me shooketh to the core. Not a single person has a normal family lmao Kudos to the writer.However, I would've been satisfied if they ended it up to the trial and didn't show how her life changed because a lot of things didn't make sense after that hahaha Here's to make you more confused: 1. Why doesn't Ha Ram see the shadow inside Leo when he wears colorful/pastel clothing? 2. (the ending) Kim Joon not existing shouldn't have affected Ha Ram's ability because he couldn't have prevented her parents from falling in love anyway. 3. (the ending) Why did 444 pick up Ha Ram's soul? Since his body is found, he wouldn't be a grim reaper... ? ok but since his body was never there (the punishment), will he become a grim reaper forever then? I mean, I thought he doesn't exist anymore? AND WHY DIDN'T HIS FACE CHANGED and WHY IS HA RAM's SOUL YOUNG AND NOT OLD???? 4. If the old serial killer wanted revenge on the congressman, then why did he kill Oh Man Ho's mistress, the rookie actress??

Sarange Jesus Mar 22 2018 10:00 pm Just to make sure I actually understood at least 1 thing, No.444 turned out to be Joon Kim but older??? Cause he found his body in the ocean yes?

kawa Mar 22 2018 1:34 pm Really drags on in the middle - I found myself pausing it often and having to go back to it a lot because I wouldn't be as interested in the drama. I think I would've liked it better if they delved deeper into the world of reapers with the amount of time they went back and forth of dumb ass ha ram trying to get herself killed and black getting worried and having to go on a wild-goose chase to find her. A lot of plot holes and I think the drama tried too hard to make it seem more shocking that it really was. Granted, I didn't finish the drama yet (I'm on episode 13), but that's how annoying it is to watch it that I came here to write a review instead of watching the show. Cinematography is nice, OST is nice, but the plot is lacking and dragging

celine Mar 18 2018 12:34 am Amazing drama!! The plot was really complexed and can get you confused for many episodes but it's really worth to watch until the end... Great acting and storyline but I cried at the end T-T Would give it a 8.5/10 bc of the end but really recommand it!

Chibi Mar 13 2018 7:11 pm I totally recommend this drama! Their plot is one of a kind, just wonderful and detailed. I agree with most people that the ending might be a bit upsetting, but I can guarantee that the other 17 episodes before the ending are just superb!

Once you start watch it, be ready to be confused because on the first few eps, things are just crazy. They throw a bunch of things at you and you wouldnt be able to understand. But that's okay just be patient, everything we be revealed later on. And I have to say the way they reveal the answers are really amazing.

I enjoyed this drama much more than I thought. The plot is honestly just too good, (except for the ending tho). Whoever thought of this might have been a genius, seriously! There are only a few holes, just some tiny parts that you can over look, but overall an amazing drama.

sisterdoc Mar 11 2018 11:40 pm SPOILER

I'm not buying the whole 444 reset human time so Ha Ram gets a nice life story. When he opted to basically have himself wiped from history, the only things that could be affected had to be connected to Joon's existence. How can that change what happened with the original 444? I read that since he died in the original timeline, when it reset he wouldn't be there to interfere. But that only holds true if the original 444 was wiped from existence too and not just dissipated (like he was).

No Joon means Sun Kyung might have stayed out of Claras clutches because his mom didn't go to prison for him. Other rapes thus other conspiracies might have occured but would have affected other people. Crazy scar man would probably still have killed the detective who would have kept him from getting the payoff (without guilty guys to make a deal).

No Joon means Ha Ram would have grown up without the saving promise/memory of Joon to keep her sane. She would still see death.

I feel like I'm watching Lost again...

reyn Mar 11 2018 4:52 am nice and touching korean drama

jungkook Mar 10 2018 1:01 am the most beautiful korean drama.can you make a season 2

hazwl Mar 03 2018 4:33 pm there are some plot holes in the story like why cant ha ram see the grim reaper inside leo even though he is not wearing black shirts to name a few but still like this drama for its plot twist..

Cillaxx Mar 01 2018 6:58 am The story is totally awesome, cinematography is just like a expensive budget thriller movie (with some, very few, common drama angle) totally my kind of movie. However, go ara' acting is just big bulls.. I used to like her, but her character here is too naive.. I want to punch her every time she says or act ridiculously.. I hope she choose better role next time, good enough to return my love for her.. Lol.

Overall, if you like mind twisting story, give this drama a try...

mehmed Mar 01 2018 2:28 am What an amazing screenplay :O I can watch second time with someone

Namjaa Feb 26 2018 8:14 am this drama run with great plot and scricpt, but for me there some plot hole which can be understood maybe because the cost of production,.

and overall in personally i really enjoy this drama, i feel wacth a goblin in christopher nolan vision,. very recommendation for those who like dark drama

kathy Feb 25 2018 8:44 am will there be season 2?????

Wendy Feb 21 2018 2:28 pm I absolutely loved this its one you can watch over again It’s sad that he had to wait fir her to die though before they reunited Great show I hope these two act together again

Hedi Kuper-Snijders Feb 21 2018 6:00 am In shock to hear of the history to this story. .. in tears ...Love it. Also in love with Korean people! Love their hilaric but honest to the heart culture. Like to visit the country somewhere in the future! ?

Annie Feb 18 2018 7:24 pm I love this drama was such epic love story wish they could have had human life at the end I. I hope there will be season 2

Elwhytee Feb 18 2018 8:36 am

- - spoiler****

//

// when 444 asked where did Moo gang go to, heaven or hell, and 007 didn't answer, I guess that was because Moo gang could have went to hell. He chose to ignore Leo and let Leo die, which indirectly meant he killed Leo. Also, he threw away the organ transplant documents, meaning he wanted to cover up for the crime his mother committed for him. This would result in Joon being unable to find his corpse, meaning he kind of assisted in his mother's crime.

As for the CCTV near the cliff, I was thinking maybe after 20years, the area became more developed and technology is more advanced, thus a CCTV was set up, to prevent suicides. However, I guess it was quite a rather useless CCTV....

5. Q: why Loser (Leo) still remembers the sad love story of 444? A: As mentioned previously, the grim reaper world and human world's timeline works differently, therefore, all the grim reapers will still remember 444 (joon)

I really like this drama, though there are some ridiculous scenes (Eg. How the middle finger guy got killed so easily in the end when he was like an unbeatable monster boss in the previous episodes), the drama was really well planned out (at least for the first 17 episodes) and I couldn't miss any moment or dialogue because I was afraid I missed out important clues to this complicated case. I'll definitely give a 9.9/10 for this drama!!!

Questioning Mind Feb 15 2018 10:54 pm I just finished watching this drama.. and I swear, this drama have twisted my brain a million times. But i actually like the feeling that my brain is working doing the analyzing stuff of who killed who, who hid the videotape, but honestly, even though how smart you are it's impossible to guess the true killer!! The writers just keep adding new information and people who were not there or irrelevant from the start.

1. CCTV on the cliff!!! 2. Ha Ram and Leo's funny granny faces!! (but the atmosphere supposedly serious) 3. How Ha Ram's father died? 4. Too many killers to the point that i'm confused who really killed who.. and a loooooooong list of questions still floating in my mind.........

Overall, this drama is amazing.. I think the author's target was for us to not get bored and keep interested. And they succeeded!!

And Song Seung-Heon was soooo cooooollll!!! and Kim Dong-Joon sooooo handsome!!!! :-D

crimsonhale Feb 14 2018 1:51 pm At first, I thought the story would be case after case story (like other crime/detective stories), but it turns out, there is a big picture (the main story) and the details are scattered on every episodes, and the main characters are trying to connect all the pieces of the puzzle together. I felt like a detective, as I was also trying to solve the puzzle along with them. There are a lot of plot twists, that sometimes I couldn't keep up with it. But nevertheless, the story is amazing, the plot is so intricate and fascinating. And for that, I salute the writer!

SPOILER:

I think the thing that really killed the thrill for me (aside from a few plotholes towards the end) is the senator or congressman choi geun ho in the end. I think his character is not that well-established in the story (i don't even know him until the last episode) so when they reveal that he is the ultimate culprit in the end, I was like...okay. It didn't make sense, at least for me. I think they should just ended that story with presidential candidate kim yeong suk (the way they arrested him is so cool!), but then they included choi geun ho as the ultimate culprit in the end :(

Nevertheless, it's really an amazing and thrilling drama. I enjoyed watching it and recommend it :) Song Seung Hoon is so cool ! ❤❤

Cathkdramalover Feb 14 2018 2:48 am i realy love this drama,, i love song seung heon too much and go ara as well.. but im just wondering how it happened that ha ram didnt saw Leo's inside shadow and her father's inside shadow too, her father is also a gream reaper already. ?????

Kdrama lover18 Feb 13 2018 8:42 am Who sang the trust my eyes song? That song was very unique i fell in love with it the moment i heard it ?

jamz Feb 12 2018 4:28 am a very good drama with twists after twists and stellar acting from all of the cast..thank you to all the actors and actresses, the writer, director and the staffs for making this drama happen.

RoxiePH Feb 10 2018 8:40 pm I love Black & the cast esp. Oh Man Soo & Detective Han :) The story was unique with many surprising twists :)

I was just wondering why Ha Ram did not saw the shadow inside Leo :3

BlackLover Feb 10 2018 1:09 pm The ideas and plot twists were sensational and I found myself totally engrossed in this series. However, the ending left a lot of questions. Several people found various plotholes, which I think aren't necessarily plot holes. Yet, there are a few that are reasonable.

To debunk the Leo plothole: People were asking why Ha-Ram couldn't see Leo's shadow. Essentially, the reason she couldn't see Leo's shadow was that she can't see the shadow of her own death; unless that person's death is directly correlated with hers (i.e. her mom trying to kill the both of them).

To debunk the car-crash plothole: How is Joon ceasing to exist correlated with the car-crash when 444 didn't even exist before the car crash. Simple. The grim reaper realm and the human world are on two different timelines. Time in the human world may have reversed; however, time in the grim reaper realm continues. Before time is reversed, we need to understand that Haram's Father's Grim Reaper has permanently ceased to exist both in the Grim Reaper and the Human World because of his violation of grim reaper law. It wouldn't make sense to have a punishment that would violate the laws of the Grim Reaper world and bring back a Grim Reaper that doesn't exist in its timeline. Therefore, even after Joon reversed human world time, there would no grim reaper to take over Haram's dad's body. there would be no grim reaper at all assigned to Ha-Ram's dad, meaning, he wouldn't have died. Thus, Haram would never see ghosts. Haram's father probably wouldn't have become a cop because he hadn't been immersed in death.

To debunk the Capsule plothole: How is she alive even after the reaper opened the capsule? You have to understand, the trigger urging her to commit suicide was the fact that she had killed Joon and caused tons of people to die. However, Joon ceases to exist. Thus, she never met Joon and never killed him. She never met Sun-Young and had no reason to be jealous of her. Her father would not have been killed trying to save Joon. Hell, Sun-Young would've probably been killed by Clara, and Clara would've been killed by the psychopath. The CEO would've gotten away with his white-collar crime and all those innocents would still have died. The only difference is, Ha-Ram wouldn't be related to all of it.

To debunk the Joon-Loving-Ha-Ram-Instead-Of-Sun-Young-Business: We found out later that Moo-Gang had Joon's heart. Joon was incredibly in-love with Sun-Young. Why then, does Joon fall for Ha-Ram instead of Sun-Young at the end? However, you have to realize, he became a grim reaper but still had the heart of Joon. He's still a kid in an adult body and he's still "growing" as he does his Grim Reaper duties. Maybe, over the years he just didn't feel an extreme attachment because being a Grim Reaper nullified his emotions. He lost all his memories after becoming a pseudo-human and so even though his heart recognized Sun-Young, he didn't feel that mental connection because it was dormant for years.

To discuss the Man-Soo Business: I don't really have an explanation but I think that Man-Ho never found out what his father did so he didn't take over the business. Do you guys remember how Man-soo's dad loved him the most? Thus, I think Man-soo became the successor and the CEO of the company. Man-soo seems less corrupt, and maybe that diminished crime in the future. He also never would've met Ha-Ram and grown to love her.

The only real plothole I found was the CCTV on a cliff. Joon never reported his death so they'd have no reason to put a CCTV on the cliff. The only rationale I can think for it, is maybe there was an increase in suicides in the area so they put one up. Otherwise, I don't know any other reason.

Safaa Feb 03 2018 4:47 am The story is amazing ?completely amazing ....i fall in love with 444 how sexy he was ..??..ara also was really wonderful ..lot of love ..?..perfect story perfect script perfect writer perfect writer perfect writer ..??..appreciation to the wonderful writer ???

Mary Jo Feb 02 2018 10:17 pm Love ❤️ the show. All the characters play an amazing part. But, I love , love Black ??? he’s hot and handsome. Ha-Ran she has an amazing and scary gift. Yes, the end is a bit confusing but are they coming back??? Miss Black already ???

roxanne edmonds Feb 02 2018 9:17 pm I completely fell in love with this wonderful tale. Confusing with the plot at times but I adored the main characters interactions. & I’m completely in love with Black (swoon!!!!!❤️) Wonderful, beautiful, awsome story thank you xxxxx

Dory Feb 02 2018 10:08 am The leading actor Black and actress Ha-ram lookalike the main character in the drama Let’s Fight Ghost. I thought they are the same people!

No. 227 Feb 01 2018 7:58 pm 4th day, just finished seeing this in Netflix. What a near-perfect storytelling and absolutely fantastical performance by the cast! Loved every single bit of each episode except the ending. I'm a sucker for happy endings especially if the main characters I've been rooting for have gone through a lot of suffering but the scene at the end... total head-scratcher! Black's incredible sacrifice rendered meaningless in the end.

xhyne Feb 01 2018 7:04 am i love Go Ara's character Haram because, eventhough she has this scary ability to see death through her eyes (which is scary AF lol) she still chose to help and save people and she has experienced many obstacles (e.g.her mother wanted her dead since she was a child) she still remains optimistic about living life to the fullest...

lynn Jan 31 2018 12:14 pm I loved the series, and the way it answered a lot of questions in the end kudos to the writer, loved how the main male character went from geeky to hot , hated the ending , very frustrating

Pretty Lai Jan 30 2018 9:12 pm Seriously I am just so inlove with how Song Seung-Heon acted in this drama series...so moving! The series though I think had so many twist but I guess that's what made it worth watching :).

anon Jan 28 2018 9:04 am Go-Ara has both the looks and the acting chops to carry off playing Ha-Ram behind her mask. The way she made her thoughts peek out from the edges, made me want to look at her. I was desperate to see behind the glasses to know if she was ok.

this aren't my thoughts but i super agree with this person's(brilliant mind) view towards how Ara played the character Haram.

Avrila Jan 28 2018 12:16 am Song seung heun oppa is the only reason why im still watching this❤

margaret Jan 28 2018 12:09 am Song seung heun oppa is the only reason why im watching this❤

Zoe Jan 28 2018 12:04 am I cant stand to watch ha ram!!Shes so annoying!carelessly always gets into trouble!Overacting character

Maru Jan 27 2018 10:37 pm Go ara’s character is lil annoying hard headed and it makes me want to fast forward when it comes to her lines..This drama is good i love the cast male lead of course but sometimes its exaggerated the story makes my brain burn a bit..Overall it was nice 70%

Wissal fleur Jan 27 2018 4:12 am I just finished the serie , i really really like it ,it's a beautiful drama ,the main actor is so hot and handsome ??

Antonio Jan 25 2018 5:59 pm Beautiful series. I just watched all 18 episodes in a week (by night). I'm sad for the ending of this series.

chaca Jan 24 2018 6:52 am I was enchanted! All can say is daebak!!! Love this series. Great job everyone! I hope Go ah ra and Song seung heon back together in another drama,their chemistry is totally good and adorable! Near the ending,you will found out the saddest truth ????? a bittersweet ending,brought me tears.

Bumsa Jan 22 2018 1:45 pm oh my god I just cried my eyes out, how can I sleep tonight! This is so incredibly sad, why why why! I am glad they put the bloopers in, but still, how to lift from this mood, that is insane.

Joon made some kind of an ultimate sacrifice, but I thought that then he also wouldn't be a grim reaper either, that didn't make so much sense actually. But ok, it is fantasy genre, you can allow that there are some otherwordly loopholes. If they didn't allow them to meet at the end, I don't know what I would do - probably cry a lot more. Love really is a strange thing, hard to say that those are just chemical reactions.

The main actor, Song Seung-Heon , did an incredibly good job of portraying a character who truly grows and is confronted with his true self in the process. I mean, every minute detail was somehow finetuned. Kim Won-Hae also became a very memorable character, I wish they showed him and others in the epilogue too.

I don't know what to do, this is definitely not a feel good series, but I am glad I watched it, makes you think about life and death, love (eros and thanatos, what a classical theme, if you think about it...). Love between siblings, parents, children, spouses, friends... Now I am just sad.

Amandeep Jan 22 2018 1:20 am Just finished it. I was amazed at all those plot twists. It started out good with interesting storyline until the final episode didn't make sense. The ending was a little confusing, but I somewhat understood it after watched it one more time. It had some good hilarious moments and best romantic moments between Black and Ha-Ram. It was good fantasy-thriller South Korea TV show.

SPOILER BELOW

The sad part is that he chose to cease to exist instead vanish. Basically, he will never be born, but still work as the grim reaper. Since Ha-Ram lives as a normal person, she can't see the shadows anymore. It means Black has to wait many years until her death.

If the world/time got reset, then it means bad people will be there and still murder innocent people after Black prevents Ha-Ram's parents' death?

I think that reason of Ha-Ram can't see the shadow in Leo's body is that loser is actually her grim reaper.

Ha-Ram was supposed to be die after the reaper opens the capsule but she didn't. Why?

I have more questions that are unanswered, but I enjoyed watching it.

Ara Dominique Jan 21 2018 6:50 am Oh Man Soo oppa!!! ??? Hoping for more kdramas with you ???

PrairieGirlLost Jan 21 2018 4:57 am I haven't finished the series. This is the Korean series I have watched and really enjoy it. I like that the episodes are longer, so I can't binge watch. The casting is really well done with a realistic mix of people. It's annoying when everyone in a production is "too pretty to be real".

If there is a season 2 I will definitely check it out. If not, I will enjoy what has been done. Thanks for a different viewing opportunity.

ganaa Jan 21 2018 3:08 am what is the word that Black calls Ha Ram?

Jenny Jan 20 2018 9:38 am I love this Korean drama especially the main character and of course the whole cast of k-drama..I'm your fan from the Philippines I enjoy to watched every episode..congrats to the all of you guys!!I love you moo gang/joon..

Jeneffer Quintana Jan 20 2018 9:36 am I love this Korean drama especially the main character and of course the whole cast of k-drama..I'm your fan from the Philippines I enjoy to watched every episode..congrats to the all of you guys!!I love you moo gang/joon..

Mara Jan 19 2018 4:18 pm Oh my!! I can't stop crying ?. Poor 444. This tv series was so gooood.

pabo Jan 19 2018 9:06 am this series is so good with all the twists and the casts acting is superb! congratulations and thank you to Go Ara, Song Seung Heon and to the other casts and crew for bringing us a good series♡♡

debo Jan 18 2018 7:23 pm an interesting story a first, but then i wonder why ppl like this drama..

Brandon D. Jan 17 2018 2:40 am The show started out good, but then made no sense towards the end.

1. Biggest question of the day is why couldn't Haram see the shadow in Reo's body?

2. Plot twists are good, but when this drama has overused it so much it made no sense anymore

eg 1. Woo Byung-Sik is behind everything (Nope), Oh Man-Ho is (Nope), Oh Sang Min is (Nope), Congresssman/Director Kim is (Nope), Choi Geun-Ho is (Finally). Bonus plot twist, the mom is also evil.

eg 2. We have to find the tape! There is "Seon-young" getting naked tape, there is a the "interview" tape, there is the rape tape, and finally "Choi Geun-Ho having sex with minor" tape. FOUR? Why? Does Seon Young not remember any of the tapes?

eg 3. Ah the "butterfly watch" made by a famous man known for never making the same watch. Why are there 3 watches?

3. Finally the end that I don't even want to talk about.

Apparently the writers and/or directors just wanted to add as much random plot twists in there

Tara Jan 16 2018 6:27 pm I don't know if I'm crying more because of the ending or because there isn't a Season 2 (yet?) to watch! This was such a fantastic series! I love that the episodes are lengthy rather than shorter! I fell in love with the characters. I agree with Charina who inquired about 444 - I was also a little confused how that transition of souls occurred; however, it was still nearly impossible to take my eyes off the screen and hardly warrants a complaint! I really would LOVE to see this story line continue... there are so many directions you could take future seasons!

Vivian Jan 16 2018 6:48 am 444 you killed me. I was fond of the series since the beginning, so original. In a kind of a way funny and tragic, at the same time. The performance of Black is superb, brilliant. The writer presented a great story, balanced in 18 episodes and I could not take my eyes off the screen. Even when I finished watching the last one, and after I stopped crying - that took a while!, had to watch some of them again and again. Parts of the story don't make sense to me, however I fell in love with the show and I wonder if you'll make season 2, with Ha-ram and 444 together again. I know that would be an effort in terms of the story-line...belive me when I say that would make your fans so happy. Thank you so much for this show. I think it's underrated, it should be published more. YOU DID GREAT!

LoveGoAraAndSSH Jan 16 2018 4:13 am Just finished watching this amazing drama. Loved the chemistry of song seong heon and go ara.

Ag Jan 15 2018 8:04 pm I loved this show so much. It was very well done, and the acting was amazing. I even fell in love with the soundtrack. BUT the last 10 minutes of the show made me mad because it just didn't make sense and it felt way too deus ex machina for a show that had such an intricate storyline. Other than that it was perfect though.

K Jan 14 2018 4:17 pm It's weird that this series is listed as Netflix Originals when it's from OCN. Wonder why Netflix did that. :(

Iceeun Jan 13 2018 9:44 am It was a great story-line, it really made me guessing throughout the whole series. tbh, but the last episode does not make sense at all. Even if black clean from memories and destroyed, I could not link it on how Ha-Ram's father did not get possessed by the grim reaper, or how Ha-Ram could be a normal child, and Black ends with Moo-gang's face =_=

사사사 Jan 12 2018 2:17 am Honestly this drama started out good with the first ep, but as I kept watching, I wasn’t feeling it. Somehow the show kept me in for the long run probably because of the plot. The thing that was making me not like it was all this romance which I think it could be 10 times better with out it. I’m not done yet, I have three episodes left, but aside from the romance I really love who ever wrote this. I’ve never seen a kdrama with such an amazing story line, or any show in that matter. Who ever wrote it planned it out so well. I mean so well. In the beginning you see these two just married couples get into a car accident and the dad dies. A grim reaper is there like b*tch if this aint some good sh*t. That turned out to be haram’s father and mother like 헐 I was honestly suprised when they shot a lot of these senes WAY in advanced to when they finally unraveled the story. It’s so shocking because the episodes are over an hour long like seriously probs to the writers also props to the director because it’s bootyful also the actors are top notch honestly. In every show I watch I always wanna re cast someone, but in this drama I can proudly say it’s a perfect cast. This is why I love ocn! They never disappoint.

Thamires Leal Jan 11 2018 2:16 pm Loved This Drama! I watched the end days ago bug still cry every single time i remember. But i did not understand 2 things:

SPOILER Why didnt haram die when the reaper opened the capsule? Why did black decide to leave her (final episode) if moments ago he was so sure that he would spend the last of "his" life with her?

Martha Jan 11 2018 1:32 pm Great show. I binge watched it. I wish it didn't end. It was such a great show that keep me guessing the whole time until the end.

Saku Jan 11 2018 7:28 am The twists and turns of this whole drama was crazy ? But overall really tense and good. Lowkey Ha-ram was annoying and just kept crying all throughout though. LOL. The ending was so-so. A comment below was correct saying we shouldn’t expect too much from a Grim Reaper and human’s love story, so yeah it makes sense.

spoiler* There’s a CCTV next to a cliff???? WHAT. I swear, Korean dramas sometimes. ? Plus Ha-ram rlly tried to harm herself with chopsticks at one point?! LMAO I CAN’T SCBSGAHFHSGD

PS: Seung-Heon and the dad were hella fine. That is all.

Have fun watching and frustrating! ???

Donna Jan 11 2018 5:20 am Maybe the ending wasn't good but it's beautiful at its way... Good job for the writer, never knew the antagonist until the last episode. Song Seung Hun and Go Ara are so goood in act althou the chemistry is bad. Highly recommended!

효리 Jan 10 2018 5:12 am The korean Fantasy drama that i ever watch in my life The KDrama for me

aaaa Jan 09 2018 7:28 pm one of the best thriller/fantasy drama this. dont know why its rating is so low. actors and actresses are so amazing esp the two main lead. highly recommended for those who wants a fantasy with mystery genre. good job ocn as always!

Jeyyms Jan 09 2018 5:32 am Does anyone know the place where they shoot? Planning to visit korea soon and it would be on my list, hoping that someone might know :)

Pretty girl Jan 07 2018 4:58 pm Song Seung-Heon & Go Ara has so super duper-duper chemistry.. I wish they worked in this part 2 or in new drama........ Has so many tears that I cried. The actors are so professional even I am not in the set.... The story also is detailed to detailed....

LOVE IT... Jan 07 2018 4:36 pm amazing. best kdrama ever...

Nv Jan 07 2018 2:02 pm All these hater comments at the ending of the movie. I honestly thought that the ending was a beautiful ending. My point is, if two souls weren’t mean’t for each other, they will never find each other and remembered the past. They were meant for each other that’s why their souls have met again, even if it meant for Black to wait for another lifetime.

Razi Jan 07 2018 6:44 am Lmao, i skip every scene of Black and Ha-Ram. They don't have chemistry at all. Everything is so damn good, except their scene which is not on point. It's an intense scene then it will skip to their nonsense love story wth

msrobina Jan 07 2018 3:03 am Spoiler:

the ending shows the next life of haram

Elham Jan 06 2018 4:34 am I love this drama so much, good script, professional group and... but why this stupid end? Really? Kang haram's make up in her old age was very very Ridiculous. If black clean from memories and destroied, why after haram's death come for visiting her? Unbelievable such a silly mistakes... why in Korean dramas must be such this at the end, a happy beautiful girl and a happy handsome guy get each other..... I am sorry for producer team and the channel for creating such bullshit end for a remarkable tv series

Esther Jan 05 2018 11:12 pm I Love the relationship between the two main characters :D. Black is SO handsome :D <3. This show started out so fantastic!!! All of it actually--until the last half of the last episode :'( :(. Ugh!! Why??? It ended so bad. It could have ended way better-it felt a little sloppy and quickly put together-maybe so it wouldn't be predictable. Sigh. Sad.

Xu Taiyu Jan 05 2018 8:54 pm One of the best written piece in korean drama history. If you loved Signal, Voice, Tunnel, Gap Dong etc, this is a must watch.

Choco Manatad Jan 05 2018 3:50 pm Amazing, cool, awesome, exciting, trill, whatelse can I say. BRAVO to the highest level. Been watching till dawn then I'm done. Oh his really handsome indeed, that look, that smile, gosh I can't getover oh my JOON. Please do some more of SONG SEUNG-HEON. Hope to watch your korean novela again. From the Philippines with love.... Oppa......

Rootsdaughter41926 Jan 05 2018 8:37 am Simply superb... probably the best thing I've watched for a long time. So well written, so creative & imaginative. As a lover of East-Asian cinema/films/drama, thought I'd check this new drama "Black" out. From episode 1-18, completely glued, and watched it over a period of 4 days.

Was sad to have this fantastic drama come to an end. Unlike other reviewers who were disappointed with the ending, I found the ending completely satisfying and it fitted together perfectly with the whole story.

Very talented writers, producers, and faultless acting. Thank you for such a wonderful drama... 10/10 I'm now off to search out more dramas/films that Song Seung Heun features in... what a heart throb!

Yna Jan 05 2018 7:22 am The only drama that made me create an account just to voice out my inner feelings. I can't contain it.

Dang the best drama I've ever watch! I just finished this one and I surely won't be able to move on from this for the meantime. The twists, the plot, and the amazing castmade a huge impact in my heart. I used to be someone who will read comments here to know if this one is worth the time and I couldn't contain my feels that I am actually here now, not as a reader looking for great dramas but as someone who will also help whoever is like me, (here for reviews) I'm here thinking of the proper word/s to describe this majestic piece of art. Okay this one just settled my standard in dramas so this then is the highest (so far) 10/10 for me. I honestly dropped this drama after watching episode 1, and I don't f***ing know what's my problem before. Then having nothing to watch I gave this drama another shot and that's the best decision I ever made. Song Seung Heon got me glued on the screen lol. But really kudos to the writers!

The best drama I've ever watch. for those who are reading this, regardless of your watched genre, this one is worth it. So much! Worth the time and recognition. Worth your life LOL <3

This drama will forever have a special place in my heart.

potatokel Jan 05 2018 4:44 am OKAY. So I just finished watching this drama in a week. I must say... I am really amazed with all those plot twists of the writer/s. It REALLY made me think hard on what will happen or what had happened. I've invented many theories just to satisfy my excitement for every upcoming episode BUT sadly, most of those are wrong HAHA! That's how good this drama is. I would rate this 9.5/10

- SPOILERS AHEAD **

I've also read many comments here before I made this and thought of contributing to the UNEXPLAINED ending that people here are talking about. I've considered some of the theories made regarding the ending.

The only question in my mind is how did Black (Grim Reaper 444)'s maximum punishment of human existence removal affected the former 444 (Ha Ram's dad) on falling in love with a human resulting to Ha Ram's semi-grim reaper abilities? Firstly, considering that the only time of the reset is the human world, meaning the Grim Reapers present in the timeline of this story is UNAFFECTED. That explains why Loser still remembers Black's story and how knowledgeable 007 is. Also, remember what happened to the previous 444? He died in the body of Ha Ram's dad - meaning that his existence as a Grim Reaper is also erased (as what's said on Grim Reaper rules) AND even in the rest he will be gone. Being said that, there will be no more previous 444 in the time of Ha Ram's parents' accident and YES, no more Human x Grim Reaper story. That's why Black said that he prevented the accident of Ha Ram's parents.

What do you think?

Jeyyms Jan 05 2018 3:20 am This series definitely need season 2, that ending is so unsatisfying. Black deserves a happy ending too.

Kim Jan 04 2018 11:37 pm Just finished this drama today and it was Amazing!!! Some parts had me crying and some parts had my died laughing lol!! Loved this drama soooooo sooooo much it was a mixed of Goblin and while you were sleeping but instead Ha ram didnt dream but can tell by touhing theirs shadows...Loved it!!! ♡♡♡

Damilola Jan 04 2018 6:07 pm WOW, where do i start... Okay great drama, i really did enjoy it... ugg i literally just finished it 30 seconds ago just to comment so my head is still muddled.

Okay, retake.

Amazing drama, WAYYY too many plot twists but it's one of those dramas I love and hate at the same time because of how it makes me feel. We were given the most pitiful main character in the world and i'm so sad. Great ending, I am so thankful it ended with that final scene, even though it didn't make much sense, i needed it so i don't cry myself to sleep.

Mariam Jan 04 2018 4:58 pm I watched the whole thing in 4 days, oh jesus what can I SAY!!! Its freaking G R E A T, Even if its a little confusing, its something i never seen before, its something out of this world, i have no words to describe this feeling, it made me cry like if someone was hurting me lol . Thank you for such a wonderful drama, i will totally rewatch this. Its totally worth it, 1 hr episodes!!! I love ittttt!!!!!!!

Rey Adams Jan 04 2018 10:45 am I recently finished watching this drama. I usually get terry, but I was crying at the end when ha- ram jumped. I was crying like a baby, I think the ending was illogical because black isn’t a grim reaper anymore, but it also made me feel better about the story. Or else I would have never stopped crying hah. This was Romeo and Juliet done with extremity. I’ve never cried from any movie let alone a tv series lol. Great work, a season 2 is not worth it. Let it die on a happy ending.

s Jan 04 2018 2:46 am What can I say is hats off to the director, to the casts..Song Seung-Heon best actor, so handsome. Kim Dong-Joon cutipie, the girl ha ram so pretty. All the casts acted so good. Wanted to watch for the second time around. Oppa song-seung-heon..wish for season 2. same casts..they can live again in another world..on earth but same same body same faces. They love will continue and live happily ever after.

Marlene Jan 03 2018 4:47 pm I loved this series so much that I cannot bear to watch the last episode, will we get more? I really hope so.

sung Jan 03 2018 8:00 am i love this drama so much. I never stop watching this until the end. Song Seung-Heo so handsome, manly indeed. others characters are also good. Go ara so pretty. I wanted another season for this part 2. Same characters pleaseeeeee.

Lovvan Jan 03 2018 3:48 am This has to be the best dramas I’ve watched. The characters were amazing, the twists in the plot were also amazing.

The ending made me cry like a baby, I don’t understand why people dislike it so much?

I’m craving a second season but it won’t be possible since the lead characters are already dead, buuuuut whatever, I’ll just rewatch the whole drama since it was so good.

Eun Jan 02 2018 5:22 pm Honestly, I cried so much at the end. I mean yeah, it's a little illogical in the end, but the ending doesn't deserve that much hate. It was the best drama ever. It was so good, and there were so many surprises in every episode. I love how the drama goes back to the first episode too because I totally forgot about how Moo-gang was in the water, breaking the glass of the car window in the ocean. OMG I just cried and cried in the end (and I've never cried because of a drama, tv show, or a movie.

Effi Jan 02 2018 4:54 pm SPOILERS

Okay so I just finished the drama and survived the emense heart pain and sobbing due to the fantastic storyline but what the hell happend to the ending? Apparently 'Loser' was still in Leos elderly body but how is this possible? So the time was reset and Haram had a wonderful life and was happy. (Which neither makes sense because if the former 444 had not posessed the body of Harams father, he and her mother would not be able to 'create' Haram. If they had a child it would be someone else because they probably would not have sex at the same time as they had when Joon had existed. And what is the connection between Joon and the former 444? Why would the former 444 not posses the body of Harams father if Joon had existed?) But anyways the only logical explanation why Loser was in Leos body and was able to tell her the story about Black and her would be that the time in the Grim reaper-world wasn't reseted. But that still doesn't explain how Loser got in Leos body. I mean obviously Leo died sometime which made it possible for Loser to enter his body but how did Loser die though? If only the 'human time' had been reseted what happened to all the Grim reapers that died after that? Loser can't be a Grim reaper and a human being living in the human world at the same time. That means Loser must have commited suicide and THEN become a Grim reaper but if this is the case he would never be 444s partner and would not have to flee from him and hide in Leo's body. He also wouldn't know about the story of Haram and Black because he never helped Black because it would have never come to this scenario because Haram never got the skill to foresee all the deaths and never knew Moogang, Joon or Black. That means the only ones who would know about this story are the Grim reapers who alredy were Grim reapers before the time was reseted because they witnessed it themselves. The only possibility is that those Grim reapers told Loser what happend but there would be no posibility that Loser himself remembers that he helped Black because (like I said) Loser wouldn't be the same Loser that helped him because he died after the time was reseted. And what happened to Moogangs soul? When Black asked 007 if he got into heaven 007 seemed a little bit sad and didn't answer so Black just assumed that Moogang is in heaven but we don't really know... Argh this is so freaking confusing and I need explanations so that I can sleep peacefully again. I really hope episode 18 wasn't the last episode and they make a second season to explain everything properly! Well thanks for your attention and I hope everyone enjoyed/will enjoy the first 17 episodes of this drama

Contraire Jan 02 2018 1:16 pm SPOILERS

@alolele agree with you.. I just finished this drama.. and hate the ending so much.. Argh! Why the happiness only belong to Kang Ha Ram.. I understand that Black (Kim Joon) has his own happiness when he tried his best to make Kang Ha Ram happy.. But this option of ending was truly sad..too sad.. Black deserves to be happy too... Not happy with this way (being unremember so that Kang Ha Ram can be happy).. Everyone in this story has been through a lot of struggle and sadness.. Everyone should be happy in the end.. especially Black. The ending of this drama, i can't accept it.

Anyway, this drama is great. Except, the ending.

alolele Jan 01 2018 6:57 pm everything about this drama is perfect ..except for the ending ..

Jaimelyn Jan 01 2018 8:58 am The writer/s were/was incredibly imaginative. The story is very much interesting, not the usual king/queen, prince/princess love triangle story. Me and my husband watched the series for almost 2 days and while watching our hearts trembled up and down. The lead actor Song Seung-Heon is great. He plays his role very wondeful. The story line is very unique for us and this is a kind of tv series that you should watch every single minute, it does not permits even a single blink of an eye because every single part of the story was very interesting. This must be one of Korea's best drama ever.

Michel Jan 01 2018 12:35 am the 17 episodes of this kdrama is probably the second best thing I have ever seen this year, the most excellent buildup after the Forest of Secret. Song Seung-Heon is wonderful, but this show has an excellent ensemble cast.

unfortunately, the last episode's writing is an insult to all the actors' and actress' hardwork. I cannot believe how they ruined literally EVERYTHING in 10 minutes. to the point I was thinking, what's the point of watching all the 17 episodes if everything from the beginning to the end DIDN'T happen?

I have seen so many bad endings, but this one has the laziest writing I ever seen. "plot too complicated! I cannot resolve it all, let's make a solution using a deus ex machina!"

good lord directors, writers, what were you thinking when you expanded the episode...?

sigh*

AJ Dec 31 2017 8:30 am One of the best I have watched in the many years I have enjoyed KDramas. Mature, intricate storyline with terrific writing, directing, and acting. It hits every emotional nerve and mental response, always challenging the viewer to think and then regroup with the next new twist. High ratings on IMDB and Netflix, which snapped it up immediately from OCN. The lower ratings here, along with the trogs who give away plot devices and ending, are indifferent to the excellence of *Black*. Enjoy.

dia Dec 30 2017 10:28 am I think TOMMY hit the nail on the head with his comment below.

1. 444 asked for the MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT which means that he would NEVER EXIST (meaning joon will never be born in the first place) but he would still be working as a GRIM REAPER 2. he did not chose the first option which is to VANISH completely 3. with that, time did RESET WITHOUT Joon being born and ha ram got to live life normally 4. he is not still stuck in moo gang's body. remember that grim reapers can choose any face they want that's why when he came to pick up ha Ram's soul, he did choose moo gang's face because it's the face that ha ram would remind her of their love story 5. I still believe that it's 444's partner in Leo's old body that's why he knows all the story, REMEMBER 444's partner is still a grim reaper himself that's why his memory of everything that happened is still in tact.

I hope this will help lessen some of your confusions about the ending

Rhonda Dec 30 2017 5:08 am Im addicted to Korean dramas!! Will there be a season 2 of Black??

Stephanie Dec 29 2017 11:07 am @mirenae he is leo in the story..his real name is kim jae young

Yin Dec 29 2017 6:37 am For the last three years I wasn't finishing all kdramas that I have been watching. This is the first time after three years that I finished a drama. I am confused too about the ending, if the existence of joon is gone, then everyone that he has been connected with during the time he's been living as a person would be gone too. I mean all of their lives should be reset too like haram's. So, "loser" who knows all the stories about grim reapers shouldn't be in Leo's body. Or else how would leo knew about the story??? That should not be the ending.

Mirenae Dec 28 2017 1:57 pm A really stupid question but does anyone know who the guy is on the opsters in ha-ram her room?

John S Dec 28 2017 10:11 am Really enjoyed this until the final episode ruined the whole thing for me. It made absolutely no sense. Zilch. Nada. Made me regret watching it at all

DiJay Dec 27 2017 9:41 am Okay. I gave this writer another chance. I was so dissappointed with GG14s ending. Now this. Why can't she write a good ending. A tragic ending would have been better. A lot of plot holes in this drama. I felt cheated after watching the last episode. I hated the ending. One of the dramas that I wont rewatch. What a sloppy ending.

Kudos Dec 27 2017 2:07 am One of the great drama I've seen. I stick to this drama until the last episode. I love also the casts. There's a twist and you keep on watching until the end. Oppa Song Seung-Heon is a good actor and handsome, his partner here is pretty and good actress. Best drama I've watched so far this year.

P Dec 26 2017 10:57 pm Black was made available on Netflix and my love for kdrama and thrillers prompted me to give this series a try. I have seen many series that are similar but Black had me blown away. The first episode reeled me in and before I knew it, I had finished this series in less than a week. The suspense, the action, the romance, and the acting was superb. I applaud the writers, producers, and actors for doing an excellent job with this series. I have never felt so many emotions. I'm in desperate need of a season 2 now that it ended. I'm not sure how that will be developed but it would be great to see the actors act again. SSH and Go Ara tugged at my heart. The chemistry was out of this world. It made me hurt for them. What an ill-fated love. I really do wish that the ending wasnt rushed. As a romanticist, I really wanted Black and Haram to be together. How can they deny us of that when the relationship was building up? It was disappointing to have to see that she had forgotten everything and passes away as an old woman. This ending was bittersweet.

Maybe, there would be a season 2 to explain more in depth of how Joon became a grim reaper again when he has ceased to exist. And why he is still in the body of Moo Gang. It doesn't feel right. Maybe there shouldn't have been ending. Maybe the ending we saw is just Joon's dream of what haram's life would be like if he never existed but it didn't go as planned. When he had requested that he never existed, it was too late. Haram had jumped and her soul was already collected and he meets her in the underworld but she doesn't remember who he is and from there the series explores the underworld, the life of grim reapers and him trying to bring back her memories. Ahhhhh, I'm too invested. This series has gotten me worked up. I do hope that there is a season 2 with the same characters. Doesn't have to be a sequel, a spin off would be great too. Just keep the same actors! Black wouldn't be Black without the characters. It gave life to the story.

I apologize for such a long review but I have to express how excellent this series was. I'm glad that I found this show. It may be confusing at first and the ending may not suffice with many, but overall the show is undeniably one of the best kdramas I have ever watched. I highly recommend watching it before judging based on reviews. Everyone has their own opinion of this show but I can guarantee that this show will live up to your expectations. I never write reviews about any shows that I have watched before but this show needed a review to showcase how exceptionally well done it was. PLEASE HAVE A SEASON 2!

Kate Dec 26 2017 9:16 am I enjoyed this drama. It has twists upon twists upon twists. It kept me on my toes and I had to pay attention to every single detail. It was also nice to work my brain and try to solve the puzzle. If you're someone who prefers to relax or multi-task while watching a drama, you may think twice before watching this coz this one needs your full attention and it's definitely not a relaxing drama.

I know some people decided not to watch it after hearing that it had an unsatisfying and confusing ending but episodes 1-17 are all worth it. Just pretend the last 10 minutes of episode 18 didn't happen. That's what I did.

Riri Dec 24 2017 1:48 am This comment may contain some spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Just finished it. I love how the mystery unfolds here. This drama is more of mystery and conspiracy than romance but that's okay. OCN is really great in producing such dramas.

I love how this drama made me think of guesses and retract myself so many times because of revelation. Just like who is Han Moo Gang? Or the reason why can't Black get out of Moo Gang's body? Who has the tape?

If this is a novel, i would love a copy and read this a million times. I'm still at awe for the execution of the plot. The fact that Black can't get out Moo Gang's body though, gave me slight of feeling when I watched the drama "Big". But the mystery unfolding before my eyes kept me going. I have no regrets. Seeing Black to turn more humane is satisfying and heart warming. Seeing he fell in love with Ha Ram is quite cute. A part of me saying that Black's feelings for Ha Ram did not only start when they looked eye to eye. Maybe because he was Joon when he's alive or maybe if he were to continue to live as Joon, he will be falling in love with Ha Ram and married her just like they promised.

I can't talk much about the ending 'cause it'll be a much more confusing discussion about "erasing existence". But I get that Black's partner still remembers him. I thought that maybe grim reapers still remember those reapers received maximum punishment. To support this, grim reaper no. 007 (joseon reaper) requested that Black should receive the maximum punishment as a lesson to other reapers. So Black's existence that were to cease is when he was being a human, being Joon. His life as a reaper still exists. Though there will be much contradiction to this because he bacame a reaper after being killed and become a missing person.

Another thing, there are rules in grim reapers' world that are unknown to us (viewers). Like there must be a way to regain Black's position as a reaper.

I hope OCN will have another drama like this. Black's world or Grim reaper's world has more potential to explore. I hope there would be a spin-off.

Leslie Dec 23 2017 6:24 pm I agree with other viewers who found the ending to this drama unsatisfying. It seemed as if the writer was suddenly told that there would be only one episode left and that he/she had to tie up all the loose ends all at once. I LOVED this drama from the start; it had so much potential to continue, but the final episode seemed rushed and just not as well-written as the other episodes. Very disappointed!

lyca selada Dec 23 2017 12:28 pm i wish it has an part 2 huuhu why i am still crying im so related in this movie so much i feel like that happened to me too i wish that im haram i can foresee death so i can save peoples life

Black Mark Dec 22 2017 11:33 pm SPOILERS

So... I didn't get the ending. No, I don't mean the absolutely last scene, but a majority of the end. I was fine with things for a while, younger brother fell in love with Sun but Joon was in love with Ha Ram BUT that's not to be, because it's actually Joon that was in love with Sun and his heart is what caused the younger brother to fall in love with Sun too... but when he gets control over his younger brother's body, he's now in love with the girl that Joon wasn't actually ever in love with but younger brother potentially could have fallen for but now Joon loves her instead???? This I don't get.

Sun falling in love with either was fine, that worked out ok no matter how you looked at it. Ha Ram falling for Joon's spirit/grim reaper made sense too. Even the ending where she doesn't know that he's a grim reaper but leaves and she tries to die is ok too, she is in love with the person who she has gotten to know in younger brother's body but with the heart of Joon and the amnesia Joon spirit...

I get what was happening in a lot of these moments but it's hard to write/say it but I don't get Joon's love if he didn't love her before... I just don't.

Fast forward to the final scene and ignore that confusion above. How can Joon's grim reaper spirit wipe away what her dad's spirit did? That's something that even in-show makes no sense. As for someone's comment about how he couldn't be with her as a grim reaper, please, tell that to Ha Ram's dad who then slept with her mom and created her. Ha Ram and Moo's child would then be ~75% grim reaper and would be able to see that shadows even more clearly and could tell how they would die, probably without touching the shadow. It's totally possible for them to have a child together if it's happened at least twice before!

Moving on, the scene where she's with the other old man, was that an old Leo? Who is occupied by "Loser"? How can he still be there with her, and old, if all of it was wiped away? AND he tells her the story about her love... how would anyone know it? Then she makes a comment about her dead husband and how she's glad her friend is there (I made the comment make more sense, Netflix's translation just had me scratching my head). There were no pictures of the dead husband, was it the CEO's son that was in love with her? There was a picture of her with another woman and a little girl and it reminded me of the bar girl and her daughter and there was a picture of a little boy but it wasn't her chubby step-brother since her dad and mom lived together for a long time... I thought maybe the other woman and daughter was the bar girl and daughter and that's how she met the CEO's son (since they were friends) and Leo (who may have been the old man at the end) since he too was best friends with the CEO's son...

Then, if Joon's grim reaper was wiped out from existence, how could he be there to take her to the next world at the end??? He would have been gone, no matter if she finally remembered him or not.

This was seriously lacking on the romance side too, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. Towards the end they weren't even holding hands or kissing, it's like they built up the relationship even to the point where he was putting ice cream on his face for a kiss and then the relationship basically was cut dead, even when he decided to stay a human, I didn't feel like there was any connection except for what they told us was there and they didn't even pretend to do that towards the end. SERIOUSLY, LACKING. I wish they didn't even have a relationship if that were the case.

Also, was Sun and Joon's informant killed at the end? I assume so but that was kind of just left hanging there with no solution. I would have been happier if Sun had gone to the US with his mother. Seriously!

I'm just oh so confused now.

Mary Jones Dec 21 2017 11:08 pm This is the AWESOME KOREAN DRAMA I've ever watched. Some may say that it has a sad ending but for me its not. I really love the events on this drama and on how the story was connected from the start, it is really damn fantastic! It's Comedy, Action, Mystery, Romance and Drama! All in one! So awesome! To the Writer, I hope for your next drama. Because of this Drama, I start to appreciate Mr. Song Seung Heon's greatness in acting and I start to love Mr. Kim Won Hae!❤ -Mary Jones ?

Diana Dec 21 2017 7:48 pm This was an awesome drama. One of the few best ones I've seen in a while. Love the plot and how they had me intrigued throughout it all. Whenever I thought everything was already said and done, there was a spin. Actors were great as well and even like the comedy thrown in there. Great job on this story line.

Angel Dec 20 2017 12:11 am Interesting story. Great actors, no question about that. A lot of twist and turns with regards the story though some scenes were not really very satisfying, scenes that will keep you hanging far too long that you even forgot what previously happened, and there were characters that were really unnecessary. Anyways, good thing the actors were really great.

Bynum A. Dec 19 2017 3:26 pm One of the best movie.... well made for tony award best that all apply with best actors/actress, supporting, director, all apply what else i can say. Suspense is the best ending

nat Dec 19 2017 11:15 am i love this drama a lot, but the ending is ok since we cant expect anything because one of them is a grim reaper and another one is human, so dont get ur hopes too high. i admit that the writers are way too greedy with plot twist til the point the ending is not satisfying. i dont even know choi (in last ep) but he suddenly appears and his character just didnt fit in the story, if u want to kill time this a good drama to watch

Misun Lee Dec 18 2017 4:02 pm Idk. Maybe, if I lose my memories, I will still feel sad. Like as if something is missing and I don't know it. I hope that's how she felt at least. Huhuhu. But, I am so touched of how much Moo Gang/Kim Joon sacrificed to keep her from being unhappy and to keep her from blaming herself for everything that happened. I thought that if it's love--then you ahve to end up together but, I have learned that when you love, even if you didn't end up together--It's still love.

Night Owl Dec 18 2017 3:57 pm I just want to believe this drama ended at the scene where Black killed senator Na. Because everything after that felt like another drama to me. And I can't brain how haram's life was reset.

To ACE. Cctv was from car dash cam. Leo/jidong is her shadow, since he is 444's partner. And haram did see shadow inside Dr.Min, and told black about that.

To LEXIE. Joon was a missing body, so he became a grim reaper. Grim reaper don't have face. they can choose their appearance their own except human's face. So even though joon was a child when he was dead, he can be just anyone, at any age when he became grim reaper. 444 is joon, he is possessing han moo gang's body, because joon/444 is inside han moo gang's body, means han moo gang is literally joon.

Lexie Dec 18 2017 10:29 am Okay so what I don’t get is how is 444 Joon?? Like it just doesn’t make sense to me. Is 444 Joon when he grew up?? It just doesn’t make sense how 444 is Joon. Like didn’t joon die in the water?? So it doesn’t make sense to me how han moogang is Joon. Someone please explain to me step by step.

ace Dec 18 2017 8:43 am i don't watch dramas but i was curious abt this and got hooked... the ending was disappointing...

cctv on a cliff?!?
444/joon doesn't have connection with haram's parents before so how can he affect the previous 444?!?

loophole abt leo, why didn't haram see the shadow inside? loser is not her grimm reaper, but leo's. why didn't she also see the shadow inside Dr. Min?!?

Cherisfeh Dec 18 2017 4:42 am Anybody know what is title the song ? I mean..not the ost..the favourite song "kim joon" in this drama? Who is the singer..and the title..thank you in advance..

Cev Dec 18 2017 1:39 am I rarely watch K dramas but this one had me hooked. I was so invested in he characters. That being said, I don't want to watch one again any time soon. Its too unhealthy lol.

There were a lot of plot holes, however it was pretty solid watch.

The ending was creepy af. I didn't need to see my bae Ha-ram as an old woman. I still have the shivers from how corny it was.

444 Dec 18 2017 12:45 am The drama was a huge disappointment in the career of Song Seung-Heon he was able to portray his characters so well but the whole story doesn't really make sense at all. Why didn't Haram see the shadow inside of Leo's body? Grim Reaper No.007 is like the Master Yoda of Grim Reapers he knows a lot, I also have the feeling he is more than a Grim Reaper but sadly they didn't choose to expand that story.

Virginia Dec 17 2017 7:45 pm I loved the movie and all the characters.

Tofu Dec 17 2017 1:00 am

- SPOILER**

I don't get how Joon had anything to do with her parents car crash and the previous 444 being who he is. If he were to have an impact on her life, he'd have to have some connection as to why she was born, etc. He wasn't even part of her life before, therefore, it doesn't make sense that him disappearing would fix everything in her life. Maybe was involved in her parents' car crash, it would have made sense, but he wasn't even born yet af that time. Too many questions s. No satisfaction at all.

Tommy Dec 16 2017 9:34 pm After confused so much, i think i get it.

Joon punishment is just never existed in the world, so world got reset. But he still exist as grim reaper, and he prevented kang ha ram parent's accident because 444 previously is already gone.

Mai Dec 16 2017 7:19 pm I love this drama series from episode 1 it got hooked me that I wanna skip meals just to watch another episode well I'm satisfied with the ending. It's sweet yet sorrowful but this drama really is addicting ....

Garima Dec 16 2017 7:53 am she doesn't have husband. like we say friendship is better than love...she said a friend is better than late husband..cos she was old. and about children it would be children of others. they came to listen stories and do fun. but yes about CCTV footage in that place near the sea...that was a bad choice made by writer.

Garima Dec 16 2017 7:47 am i liked it sooo much...i was expecting this type of ending ..cause i knew he already have broke some rules of Grim Reaper. so i am satisfied with ending...not bcs of plot bcs of acying of go ara and song seong heon. their acting was amazing espically song seong heon..great actor....

Masee Dec 16 2017 2:51 am The last episode was so stupid, it doesn´t made sense. The drama was so good, but this ending ruined it all, i´m so disappointed.

Jenny Dec 16 2017 2:18 am

- - SPOILERS DO NOT READ ***

Like others I was confused about the ending. It was rushed and sort of messy.. but how I take it the ending can be taken perceived in two ways. I felt like the writers only wanted to make the viewers happy thus reuniting Haram and Joon and doing a fast forward. So essentially if you look at it this way, there is TWO ENDINGS the REAL ending is sort of tragic. 1. When Joon gets erased and it was too late for the Haram we know, the ones with the vision. She is in grief and massive guilt as people around her died because technically it was her fault. She commits suicide by jumping off a cliff and that's basically the real ending.

2. The alternate second ending (which I thought was so messy with lots of question unanswered) is where 444/Joon stops everything from happening turning back time therefore completely undoing everything we've seen and happened. It was like the writers easy/cheap way out to please viewers which obviously didn't as it left it at 50/50 satisfied and unsatisfied with the ending.

LolWhat Dec 16 2017 1:53 am I'm sorry, but the ending was kind of freaking hilarious and these are the reasons why.

1. So, there conveniently was a CCTV camera on a desolate cliff and somehow, the footage was reviewed immediately. Yet, no one saw Moo-gang's mom and doctor dude push a car over a cliff? HAHA.

2. When the guy at the end calls Haram smart but she literally had the brain of a black pot throughout the whole series. Oh, he calls me a stupid human; Normal. Oh, he somehow recovers after getting shot a lot; Normal. Oh, look a shadow, shoot it. Moreover, she's like a borderline stalker. She literally followed young Joon to his house and stole a recording then used a Friend Locator to find him.

3. I love how Middle Finger dude is so invincible in every other episode and then all of a sudden, he has chicken feet and gets electrified in like 5 seconds.

4. Lastly, she jumps off a cliff and gets reincarnated to get her happily ever after. So she married a guy and they have kids together; hence why, she was watching over the grandkids and receives a present inside the house. But as soon as she dies, her "late husband" instantly becomes a side-hoe. LMAO

5. "K-dramas usually have happy endings." Every one commits suicide.

This series was gold until the last episode.

Mikey Dec 16 2017 1:38 am Don't watch this Drama. All the hours that you invested will be a complete waste of time when you reach the final 2 episodes. The writer and producer became too greedy with plot twists. They ruined their chance end this drama properly which resulted in a rushed final episode that made absolutely no sense. I am extremely disappointed how this show turned out. It was really great until episode 16.

Unkindlady Dec 16 2017 12:59 am Go ara is soo annoying..but i cant skip her part to understand the storyline!

But...song seung hoon is sooo cool!

porkysoda Dec 16 2017 12:17 am can someone explain how 444 prevented kang haram’s parent’s accident?

Bram Dec 15 2017 9:28 pm Loved old Ha-Ram's reaction to Leo's story! "Why do you tell such a cruel story, so mean and sad!"

And then we get a better ending.

Loved the series, I somehow binged these long episodes and fell in love with the characters. Also, at the end of the last episode, there's a short blooper reel. Cute.

 I have to agree with some that there are many plot-holes.  If 444 had never existed, Ha-Ram's father would have died in the car crash and she wouldn't have been born.  Not sure about that one.  Unless I'm missing something?

I love the chemistry between Ha-Ram and Moo-Gang-Black!

Nikki Dec 15 2017 6:56 pm Oh my gosh!!! I can’t stop saying that now lol. Just finished ep18 , sobbing my heart out. Going to miss this series. This series had everything in it, suspense, mystery, humour, emotions , fabulous characters and amazing acting. Bravo to everyone involved.

Elmi Nate Dec 15 2017 6:55 pm Anybody knows title of song that ha ram listening at the music shop ? It's Korean song ..

the passenger Dec 15 2017 2:53 pm I am at episode 7 so what I am going to say is an analysis of what I have seen so far. This drama could have been better if the writer and director took in consideration a few things:

1- Don't confuse the spectators: a lot happens in one episode with a million twist ever time and new characters coming from everywhere makes you loose track I don't even know now where is the main story, it's like some bushes intertwined which makes the overall image ugly. But if it was like a tree the main story as the trunk with some branches here and there it would look beautiful.

2- Again don't confuse the spectators: I really don't know why do they use that handled camera while moving it all the time until your eyes pop-out and your brain fries. It is unhealthy for spectators to try to fix their eyes on the subject when the camera is moving all the time. A instrumental saying I found on the net : "DON'T move the camera, MOVE the story". They may think that it's fancy but it's definitely not.

3- Consistency: there is a lack of consistency in the mood, sometimes it looks silly and dumb, other times it looks intense and serious. I know a lot of korean dramas have this problem, it's not something that you force, you have to make it look natural and get along with the story-line.

4- All characters are connected: which Koreans call it "MAGJANG", it's too much to believe and it makes the story way too much ripe.

Everytime I watch an episode I stop in the middle due to the above facts and feel that it's too much for me to handle and come back after getting some rest, hoping I am not going to get some brain malfunction due to that camera movement...

Garima Dec 15 2017 7:29 am Daebak....i have just 2 episode left....i am really curious to see ep17 &18. but after reading so many comments i do 't want to watch last two episode....it will be heart breaking..??? of writer wrote a good plot like this he should have wrote a good ending also....?

Amyus Dec 15 2017 3:47 am Whilst the story developed well across the arc and the two lead characters had a nicely believable on-screen chemistry, this series offered a great deal, but ultimately failed to deliver. The last two episodes were poorly scripted, hurried and felt as if they had been edited with a blunt axe. Too many plot holes and unresolved issues. Such a shame as I enjoyed the overall premis and the cleverly seeded red herrings throughout the story.

Mercedes Dec 14 2017 7:42 pm I am so vexed. There was so much potential!! The ending was stupidily confusing and just annoying. Most of the mysteries were left unsolved. I want 18 hours of my life back.

Yasmin Dec 14 2017 5:18 am This drama was the best thing I've ever watched till I watched the last episode... I was like what the hell ????! Why did you ruin it?? Whyyyyyyyyy :,,,,,( If it wasn't for the ending this drama would've been the best :( I loved the acting and the direction everything was perfect till they ruined it :(

Alexyie Dec 13 2017 1:49 pm Omo, Omo. I cried so much, I can't even see properly :( Song Seung-Heon really did a fantastic job playing 444/Moo Gang/Joon :) There were a lot of Plot Holes though, I'm unsatisfied with the ending, the entire series was great --- having unexpected twist here and there, its just that ending, that ending.... :(

So 444/Moo Gang/Joon took the punishment of cease to exist to change Haram's fate. Haram led a normal life, she's not a half reaper anymore. I wonder who was her late husband? Leo's just a friend --- since Leo has the bracelet, I assumed that he was still 444's partner (loser), why hasn't he affected? Isn't it like a parallel world or something since everything changed? ---- confusing!

What broke my heart is, in the end, they still didn't end up together. It killed my heart. Killed romance. It hurts, all along I was expecting some sort of miracle so that they'll end up together but sadly, they didn't, He just picked up Haram since he really was Haram's grim reaper.

berry Dec 13 2017 11:07 am Haram cannot see loser's shadow in Leo's body because Loser and 444 were her grim reapers. She cannot see her own death shadows

Panamera Dec 13 2017 8:27 am too many plot holes , who the F@#K set a cctv pointing on a cliff , and few more non logic..

lalala Dec 13 2017 3:38 am i think haram husband is han moo because that does not exist is joon not han moo gang , so han moo gang stil exist ini life right ? and he still life because he will got donor even without han moo gang . but idk , this is just my opini

Hyun Dec 12 2017 12:43 pm What happened to Oh Man Soo? Who is her dead husband she was talking about? Whaaaa? Can anyone explain?

Bibo Dec 12 2017 12:22 pm As you all were wondering why Haram can't see "disgusting brat reaper" in Leo's body it is because Black prevented Haram's parents accident. Remember how they explained in earlier episodes how Haram is half human half reaper (which was why Haram can see shadows). It happened because the reaper in charge of Haram's father's death, look into the eyes of Haram's mother and fell in love and possesed Haram's father. History was made at night and tada Haram was born. Conclusion, no accident, both parents alive and normal humans. Therefore, Haram was born normal.

Mini Dec 12 2017 10:25 am

- SPOILER**

@cookie She couldn't see Leo's shadow because when 444 decided to take the ultimate punishment, he was able to change her life from beginning til the end. She didn't have the special eyes to see shadows because she was born normal afterwards. And Leo remembers (grim reaper) because 444's punishment was supposed to be an example so the other grim reapers would follow rules.

Sushi Dec 12 2017 10:21 am

- - SPOILER*** @leycell You're right too, but it kinda fits into why he would still be existing (because of a promise). I'm confused about how your point and my point correlate directly, but that could be another possible explanation of the many too!! And yes, because 444's punishment was supposed to serve as an example for other grim reapers, Leo would, of course, remember 444.

Cookie Dec 12 2017 10:12 am Why haram cant see shadow in leo body? Cz i think that grim reaper never used black cloth, that we all know all gream reaper usually using black clothes and he is not, cz from the beginning ha ram weakness is about color, as long as its not black she cant see it, and about joon doesnt change to his original form cause maybe moogang body is joon body cz he has joon heart, or bcoz black never expose his corpse to public, the only one that found his corpse is only himslef as we know black friend changing after ppl found his corpse but black not. About why grim reaper in leo body still remember 444,im not sure about this but i think since he is the lost grim reaper, i think he doesnt get the effect, or the punishment just affect ppl in 444 live, but grim reaper not get the effect.

Leycell Dec 11 2017 11:36 pm Spoiler**

@sushi

I think it has something to do with Leo/loser grim reaper's promise with joon/444. He probably remembered joon and stayed with haram's side as leo as from their conversation, she's a friend. He kept joons bracelet for haram until it's her time so that she can remember him when its for him to bring her to paradise.

PLEXIMIA Dec 11 2017 11:15 pm Hey oppas and unnis, This drama was out of the world(quite literally)...the best writing i have ever come across...but i had a few questions ..can someone clear things out for me?

1. If LEO was already dead from the beginning , how could ha ram not see a shadow inside of him?

2. During the final judgement of 444 from the god , why didn't 444 return to his original form( as 13 yr old jooni oppa ) the same way as his rapper reaper friend...is ot because he was still stuck in moo gaangs body?

3. What happened to 444 finally? If his existence itself was deleted...does that mean he himself wasn't..but only his memories? How could he meet with ha rams soul at the end?

jaja lipa Dec 11 2017 9:59 pm Bruh this drama should deserves an award srsly !!! Great acting ! Fighting !!

Shi Dec 11 2017 8:33 pm This drama was excellent!!! The main leads acting was splendid and also the supporting characters as they gave me joy and a good laugh. I felt that Song Seung Hoon played Black well and also this was my first time watching him in a kdrama so I can't wait to watch more of him! Go Ara was great too even though I was kinda nervous about how she was going to portray her character. OVERALL this k-drama was phenomenal and if you like these types of dramas with twists and turns I recommend "Circles: Two Worlds Connected."

Sushi Dec 11 2017 7:53 pm

- SPOILER**@Emmakay In my theory, I think 444 was there to pick up Haram was because he was originally the one who was supposed to take her to the afterlife. Just like in Goblin how even though Gong Yoo was stuck in a limbo-like state, he was able to go back because of a contract made with Go Eun's character. Although it doesn't completely makes sense as he was supposedly erased from the world (assuming his soul would have been too), I guess he he was given one chance to collect Haram's soul and had been revived for one purpose. I wished they could've explained the ending a bit more coherently, but it's enough for 18 episodes (maybe show how EVERYONE involved had their lives reversed). How bittersweet. I doubt 444 was able to continue living with Haram in the afterlife. She'll probably drink Wang Yeo's tea soon and forget him (lol, Goblin reference).

lovelove Dec 11 2017 6:13 pm The best drama after goblin. Wyws ? Nope lol

Blackie.ph Dec 11 2017 4:53 pm Im going to miss this drama! I really thought 444 is joon. This drama has a lot of plot twist and i love it! The ending was sad though. Why ha ram wasnt able to see the shadow on Leo? That was all the question left in my mind.

if Dec 11 2017 4:06 pm I think thats was the best ending that the writer can provide, kim joon dont deserve to be treat like that, no one deserve to have that kind of life . Everyone people around him are so greedy and cruel . An innocent boy have to deal with the consequences.. Imagine if there is no black/444 how pitiful joon life gonna be . So thats ending are the best ending . Forget about justice, when a boy life ruin because of that, its better that he do not exist at first ? But Im happy when he got to be happy in after life ❤️ He deserve all the happiness in life . This story show a greater lesson other than justice, it shows how our dirty behaviour can gave impact to innocent person out there , especially kids . Im glad the writer make joon character as the main. That scene when moo gang/joon mother got a called from hospital that they found heart transplant donor for moo gang, im speechless ???? Damn she so greedy ! if only she wait for a while both joon and moo gang will be alive !

EmmaKay Dec 11 2017 3:33 pm What a traumatizing finale! I'm so sad to find out the truth at last. Truth about who shot Joon, truth about what Moo Gang's mother did... So many painful facts!! I can't even cry though I cried from episode one to episode 16.

This drama is great because of the cast. Loved everyone, Go Ara, Lee El? Kim Dong Joon etc... Especially SONG SEUNG HEON!! Amazing actor.

I just don't understand how Moo Gang was there to take Ha Ram to the other side... Then who was erased forever? I'm so confused and I hope I get answers soon!

vghbj Dec 11 2017 2:25 pm Not extremely satisfied with the ending but it was an action packed interesting drama. But not appropriate for younger viewers. The actors did an amazing job! 7-8/10

Fangirl Dec 11 2017 11:01 am Omo! Just watched the final episode. Seriously im crying right now. I feel so sad that this drama has already ended. I gonna miss Joon oppa and Kang Ha Ram for real. I wish they extended it to 20 episodes. Im so attached to this drama. *Sigh. But all in all, this drama is total daebak!!! I fell inlove deeply to Joon oppa. I just added him to my list of oppa. I hope to see them again on another drama. Im going to watch this drama again for sure.<3 P.S I was hoping for another kissing scene but Im satisfied with the ending. Ihh , I really want them to kiss again. #loveoverhate

Gabby Dec 11 2017 10:59 am Im done! But im still confused. So, in the end of drama, haram have a children? With who? Oh man soo? Leo?

charcoal Dec 11 2017 8:42 am A beautiful suspense drama. Btw, i thought the old Leo was Ha Ram husband but eventually it was not as she said he is her friend. Then, who could be her late husband? is it oh man soo?

Ha-Ram Dec 11 2017 8:33 am After watching Goblin, this is the 2nd time I watched a fantasy-thriller KDrama! Black has everything you want to watch for a drama series. It will make you thrilled, suspense, angry, laugh and cry as well! I admit that I am one of those who were kinda disappointed with Go Ara's acting in Hwa-rang! But she proved me wrong in Black as she shown great acting here! I will definitely look forward for more Kdrama from Go Ara! =) I never knew Song Seung-Heon before. But after watching Black, I automatically become a fan here! He's superb in acting! I laughed when he played dumb as a detective, I shouted when he got into action scene and I felt his sadness when he cried in one scene. He's a multi-talented actor ! Oh! By the way, did I mentioned that Song Seung-Heon is soo handsome? I will definitely include him in my list of Korean fav actor! =) Looking forward to your next KDrama Oppa ! Or maybe..I will do some backtracking and watch your previous drama as well! #Saranghae! ♥ Black is one Highly Recommended Kdrama!You can never guess what will happen next!And all the characters have connections with each other!Thumbs up to the writer, directors and to all the staff! Congratulations! =)

Kookie Dec 11 2017 7:56 am I keep listening to Black's OSTs?? i watched many dramas in 2017, but srsly, Black just like one of my best memories in this year! This drama is highly recommended!! *will rewatch this drama during holiday*

Rathna Ismail Dec 11 2017 7:55 am Can anybody tell me the song that Han Mo Gang strum the guitar?... Please need to know... felt inlove with that lovely song...

Sasasasasasa Dec 11 2017 7:11 am Done watching the final chapter.. daebak!! I love it!!! Highly recommended!! I will now add Song Seung-Heon to my Oppa list ^___^

Reaper 444 Dec 11 2017 3:22 am Black is 2017's best fantasy drama. It's a drama that's so unpredictable. If you think you are good in predicting dramas then I dare you to watch black and see how woefully you will fail. Thumbs up to the writer. This by far is the best script ever written this year. Thumbs up to all the cast for a job well done most especially Song Seung Heon. Hoping this drama and the main actor,Song Seung Heon gets a befitting award.

Inkan Dec 11 2017 2:13 am This drama is highly recommended, i can't hold my tears, every scene begs my self to wipe out my cry. The plot is in the order, asking us to think deeply. Please guys watch it! you will never regret! i bet it

honey Dec 11 2017 1:46 am i think..the title should not be 'BLACK' ...but it should be 'BLUE... BLUE TAPE' because its all about the tape from the beginning..hahaha.. but i enjoyed it so much!! Highly Recommended!!

DiJay Dec 11 2017 1:37 am After watching "God's Gift: 14 Days", I swore to myself that I will never watch another Choi Ran drama. Great story, starts off good, bad ending. I was traumatized by the ending. But after reading the comments here, I've decided to give this a try. I hope this won't have a disappointing ending like GG14D. Choi Ran, I am giving you another chance, please don't fail me now.

Nina Dec 11 2017 1:24 am such a great drama! i love how it hits all the emotions

444 Dec 11 2017 1:02 am Everything is beautiful. This drama is amazing. Great script, great scenes, great actors. 100% recommended to watch.

balckeu Dec 11 2017 12:55 am The old leo was not the husband of ha ram as she said he was his friend. Then who was she referring to as her late husband, could it be oh man soo? Btw drama was super great

Len Dec 10 2017 11:10 pm Black is such an underrated drama. Because it's story involving a "Grim Reaper" people automatically compared it to Goblin and therefore snubbed it thinking Goblin was the best and only drama involving a Grim Reaper. I really enjoyed this series, each episode was action packed, suspenseful, kept me on the edge of my seat and no episodes bored me or dragged along. Even in the last two episodes where it's usually the slowing point/filler episode in most dramas, the plot continued to literally the last minute. I really can't get over the writing and story of this drama. The writers who wrote this story is very talented and creative. The plot has depth and everyone in this drama had serious baggage - each character served a purpose in the plot as well as go through character development, the writer made sure everyone (Including non-main characters!) had their own different storyline yet are still connected to each other and I found that brilliant.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drama. Though a fair warning - this drama is dark, like VERY dark (Fitting title) because it tackles and takes on very serious issues in life and society. SSH and Go Ara aren't exactly known to be the strongest actors, but they did excellent in this drama as did every one in this drama. This drama is definitely one of my favorites and should not be skipped!

Bluewave Dec 10 2017 9:03 pm OMG!!!!! I want to send my love and flowers to the PD nim and all Black's team. Indeed amazing story line and how they finally peel it towards the final episode. Brilliant.!! This drama is deep , heavy in emotional and feeling yet it carries a LOT of love subjects. Ha Ram's Appa and Omma love each other so deeply but cant live together, Ha Ram love his appa so deeply , Ha Ram's love to Joon.. The drama also have enough amount of humor at the right time. Gosh... Daebak Black!!

Geraldine Jensen Dec 10 2017 7:30 pm Black was a great story that no one should miss. I love the twists and especially the ending! The last 2 episodes were the best! They kept me on the edge of my seat not knowing where the story would go and what would happen next. I was worried that it would have a tragic ending but I was not disappointed. The ending came together as it rightfully should - what a tremendous relief and joy! The actors and actresses portrayed their characters extremely well especially Song Seung-Heon and Go Ara. Kudos to all of you! This should have higher rankings in Korea as I'm sure it did around the globe.

Pamiih Dec 10 2017 1:26 pm @Garima that man is indeed 444. Just keep watching the episodes so u can understand whats going on.

LoneGunMan Dec 10 2017 12:53 pm OCN never fails. This show reminds me of an 2017 Icelandic detective show called Trapped. All the so-called upstanding citizens were all corrupt in someway in the end. OCN keep on doing what you are doing!!

luna Dec 10 2017 11:56 am Well ya this is the best drama with Fantasy Thriller that i've watched in 2017:'(

Martha Dec 10 2017 9:21 am As sad as I am to see this show end, I'm also excited that Bad Guys will premiere next week. I have waited for so long

Thank you to everyone in Black team for producing such an interesting and suspenseful drama. 9/10

Zoka Dec 10 2017 1:11 am Ahhhhh this drama is too much!!!! Epi 17 had me at the edge of my sit !!! This drama is something else, really the suspense... I'm feel too wretched for all life of the older brother... Tomorrow's epi is going to be epic!!!! But I'm sad that the end is near!!!

wierdow Dec 09 2017 11:39 pm @ivy "If I" by JJY BAND :)

Pamiih Dec 09 2017 8:04 pm @Ivy the song is If I Were by Ahn Chi Hwan

moonga Dec 09 2017 7:11 pm I just can't believe it !! what is going on ? the writer is amazing you might think you know what is happing which might be true but the twists man, they are mind-blowing. 100% recommended

Night Owl Dec 09 2017 7:06 pm It's me again. I still believe leo is not leo. My guess is Dr MIn killed Leo in order to have his body for JI Dong. Leo's dead body possesed by jidong. Thats why Dr.Min has the video. One more episode to go ...

Ivy Dec 09 2017 3:27 pm What is the song called that Joon plays on guitar when he was young?

Natalia Dec 09 2017 2:59 pm This is amazing drama!! The best i ever watch! And Song Seung Heon is really great actor! Awesome!!

Garima Dec 09 2017 10:47 am if u really want to watch an amazing drama...go for it...u will surely love it...wow! its not like a common drama where u can guess what will happen next! u can't even guess what will happen in next episode...script writer have got amazing different ideas like JK Rowling...i recommend u to watch this drama...u will never regret it

Zai Dec 09 2017 7:00 am I like the way they mixed the comedy in the story^^

Erni Dec 09 2017 1:51 am Remember the first episode, when Black found his own body in the car. Did he die a second time?

Lala Dec 08 2017 8:03 pm The best drama of the year2017.. This drama as a puzzle....I want more episodes... THANKS FOR THIS SHOW SSH is best actor❤ All of casts are amazing at the first i think go ara is not good for play this role but she play vey good The storyline is different I'm going to miss Black.. I want a Black like SSH?❤

Mr. Kim Dec 08 2017 10:34 am My Man KIM WON HAE in the house ,. one of my fav actors right now ,. he delivers the best supporting roles out there just wanna give him some credit! wishing him leading roles in the future!! FIGHTING!

Panamera Dec 08 2017 8:04 am Ep 17 , 18 last , good drama a little too complicated and too many layers though , but i enjoy it.

Natalia Dec 08 2017 5:10 am Some people thinks that 444 partner is the doctor, thats why ha ram can't see black shadow in the doctor. Because 444 and the partner are the grim reapers that be in charge to collect ha ram' s soul. Ha ram have said she can't look her own death shadow. But once ha ram has seen black shadow with the doctor. When the doctor ride motorcycle and buying food at 444's partners mom.

I still confusing about that.

0404 Dec 07 2017 10:32 am Watch Ep.12. 22:52 then 25.20 Kim sun young/yoon soo wan lie that she never seen young kim joon in person in the past

pause at 30:02, 31:50 and 33:24 then ff to 35:17, moo gang mother either lying about the photo (differently place taken) or just bloopers

Big clue?

SSH's fan Dec 06 2017 1:24 pm This drama is truely amazing.. I have been hooked since first episode.. I'm eagerly waiting until the weekend.. I don't understand why it has low ratings though.. I've been a kdrama fan for 10yrs.. But, this is the first drama which is too hard to predict.. Writer has done a marvelous job.. I love SSH for his looks, deep voice and talent in acting.. That is why I started to watch this drama.. I'm truely happy that I choose to watch this drama, because previously most of kdramas I started to watch, I've given up watching them in halfway as they are too predictable and boring.. Anyhow this drama kept me wanting to watch it until the end and I'm impatiently and sadly waiting for this weekend.. Oh! I'm going to miss you "Black".. I mean SSH.. I highly recommend this drama to all who loves suspense, thriller and romance.. SSH is too good..

sarah Dec 05 2017 8:51 pm Lee El's acting is absolutely superb. I didn't know she was this good!!

Glad I'll get to see her again in Hwayugi.

Bluewave Dec 05 2017 7:24 pm This is the first K-drama that I was hooked and cant wait for the next episode every time. I am not Korean or a fan to K-Drama. I watch a few but usually I can predict the storyline. But with Black... it twisted in every angle.. it full with emotion, has enough funny moment , simple love scenes but Deep.. up to episode 16.. I can see a lot of things still mystery - Good Job Script writer, Director, Produser and all Black's team!!!!.. at first, I thought by solving who was the main killer with the butterfly watch, the drama will become to a closure and 16th is the final episode.. BUT I was wrong! I cant wait for the last 2 episode!!! I think I will need a ton of tissue if the ending will separate Ha Ram and Moo Gang..

Night Owl Dec 05 2017 5:46 pm I know this might sounds weird. but why i had a feeling that Leo is not Leo. Maybe Leo is dead out of overdose in that 9 times hotel room, and he was possessed by his former manager (444's partner) since then. Because i found it a little bit strange, begin at the scene where he is watching a video of himself with gan moo gang having conversation. It seems like it was his first time seeing it. Then, when he open the storage, he looks unfamilliar with it. Even he need some times to find the phone. Something suspicious about that. He looks like a stranger touching someone else stuff. And when crazy dog asked him about moojin, rather than lying, it more looks like he don't aware that leo ever live in moojin when he was child. But since haram didn't see any shadow inside him, i can be wrong.

Edmira Dec 05 2017 8:55 am Is it possible, moo gang's mother have killed Joon oppa... (There is scene: after moo gang talked with Leo, he's being kidnapped. At first he wanted to fight the kidnapped but he choose to be dead)....

ara Dec 05 2017 1:55 am "Kilig"- (a Filipino term used during a romantic scene comes up) to the bones: D some says that the 2 lead actors are not compatible to each other, but honestly they are good to each other. I enjoyed their kissing scene ^o^ truly, the drama gave me chills; it has a lot of twist of events. The people I knew to be the ‘guy’ it turns out to be someone else. The event that I have in mind is different from what is shown in the drama. We will be shocked I suppose, for what will be the end. Can’t wait! :D you really produce a must see drama that fans like us who love this kind of genre will truly appreciate. Chughahaeyo!

forabelly Dec 05 2017 1:46 am Is there another episode? I hope there is ?

Eikorina Dec 05 2017 12:27 am Is that mean that 16 episode still not the end??yeayyy...another 2 episodes??is it true??

Keytie Dec 04 2017 9:40 pm This series is like supernatural meets crime solving mystery drama. Every episode is like a piece of puzzle being completed until the end. I have to agree with some that the series is a bit complicated because of so much twist and turns and some unnecessary scenes and not quite a fan of the leads but overall, it is still worth watching

in this house we love mansoo Dec 04 2017 4:14 pm @ JK

"> Why : "it's homophobia that haram and 444 kissed" ??"

it just is JK. its homophobic and im just lettin yall know

joanapolis Dec 04 2017 3:44 pm do we know who lieutenant nam is yet? meaning, have we met him? who plays his character?

Tuan Dec 04 2017 12:27 pm @Tcamd. It's bviously we can guess that he is Kim joon. But the story is still complicated for me. Why the writer make this drama so hard to understand?

Sho Dec 04 2017 12:09 pm I just love this drama a lot and I hope ending vl be awesome too. Everyone is soo good n story line is incredible and song seung heon♥️ is an amazing actor..watching all the way from India

LoneGunMan Dec 04 2017 12:02 pm Thought that 16 episodes would be enough but I was wrong. The extra episodes will round this show out. Still a lot of loose ends to tie up. I think T.Camd is correct Kim Joon was killed later, probably the guy in the car when Black dove into the sea. Excellent show!

T.Camd Dec 04 2017 11:18 am 444 is Kim Joon, his body has not been found, no wonder he can still remember the time capsule that they had buried at their old school

A...a Dec 04 2017 10:08 am I was soo exited to finish the last episode today (16) then watched a cliffhanger checked the episode count, now 18? Dont get me wrong i love it, more episodes of one of my davourite dramas but come on i was pumped for the ending. But you know what this is making me even more exited i had soo many more un answered questionsss.

nami Dec 04 2017 9:54 am I have a question. Where's Kim Joon?

iloveblack Dec 04 2017 8:28 am Im in love with this drama.... soo thrilling and the suspense is wow. a little touch of romance too. Thumps up to the crew. you make my day every time i get to watch an episode. Want more of these dramas. Watching all the way here in Ghana.

BlackFanLove Dec 04 2017 5:14 am Black daebak!! Really enjoy this drama, the more you watch the more you cant wait for the next episode, one drama tha have it all, mystery thriller, action, funny and romance, Awesome acting from SongSeungHeon for potraying Black and Han Moo Gang really well, 2 different character, deserve an award, and i can see He really work hard, he have the most long line script, Go Ara also good, and build good chemistry with SSH, and thumbs up for all actors and crew, the cinematography also wonderful, and the ost song also, Recomend this to anyone!

BlackFanLove Dec 04 2017 2:56 am And for Go Ara haters, please stop and try to give more fair judgement, she is really good in this drama, really wonderful, she makes this drama more fun, some stupid action only base on the script, and i love the halloween episode, her gesture wearing fiona dress is really good, the way he hit the rapist, the way he hit black when he draw leo limited edition poster is so funny, her face expression on the knock out kiss is also awesome and beautiful, for me she act really well, she do the kiss scene nicely too, if theres a lack, its just on the script/the story it self, dont hate the actress, and personally for me she is cute and beautiful outside and inside, Go Go Ara!

Noctis Dec 04 2017 2:20 am I think Go Ara's acting is wonderful, even I could see she's more superior than the veteran Actor Song Seung Hoon in several scenes. I admitted maybe she's exaggerating for helping another, but that's the script! I don't know why people hate her, in my opinion she's so beautiful. In fact this drama is so entertaining and not occupied by those teenager Actors/Actresses who's don't even know how to ACT!!

Ela dahlia Dec 04 2017 1:02 am I love this drama...can't wait for the next episode

Jac Dec 04 2017 12:39 am First it was only 10episodes then it was etxented to 16episodes now it will be 18episodes..the writer of this drama must have so much ideas on his mind..hehe..this drama is so twisted that u can't predict wat will happen next..u have to focus watching it ..bcoz if u don't u will didn't understand the story bcoz there was so much going on in the same time..

diana neely Dec 03 2017 10:09 pm Love this drama..so good..Excellent acting from the main actors.

Olk26 Dec 03 2017 8:53 pm Ladysungit 2-3% isn't tragic for cabel tv like OCN. For OCN is really amazing year (they're really deserved it).Only local hero and vampire detective had low ratings (under 1%). After them 38 task force,voice,tunnel, save me were great hits but still best ratings were under 8%. Also I guess that many people watch this drama online.

Bluewave Dec 03 2017 8:11 pm I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this drama!!!!! what is the total of the episode? who knows? please tell me....please... at first I thought it is only 16 episode. My heart almost explodes towards the 16th episode .. the excitement is out of this world!!

Ani Dec 03 2017 5:41 am Wow, this is the best fantasy k drama. Song Seung Heon is so handsome and his acting is awesome. Very recommended

Riley Dec 03 2017 4:44 am I love this show!!!! Unlike other shows it has an interesting storyline which excites me a lot.

Miro Dec 03 2017 2:23 am I like it. Very good acting cast. Excellent Song Seung-Heon cute Go Ara An interesting fantastic story with a romantic plot. I like to watch this series ... thank you. (One of the series starring likeable actors ..... unlike quantity dramas occupied by arrogant, cocky youth adepts who so admired by teenagers .... ?)

Jassbep Dec 03 2017 12:47 am I find the main actress super annoying! It’s either cute / hard worker mode, pitiful crying or crazy angry mode after 3 episodes it’s like seriously show some variety plz!

Ts Dec 02 2017 9:07 pm Just wanna say "DAEBAAKK!"

Daphnie Dec 02 2017 7:38 pm Who here also thinks 444 is Joon? Cuz like he doesnt remember Moo Gang’s memories instead he remembers Joon’s memories. Also in episode 15 he doesn’t know how to play guitar but his fingers insantly knows how to play and he remembers the song

EmmaKay Dec 02 2017 7:32 pm Can we have just 20 episodes? Please!? Instead of 18? I mean come on you guys!! Can't let it end too soon

Rady Dec 02 2017 6:51 pm I really love this drama ??? Song Seung Heon LoveLoveLove

JK Dec 01 2017 11:19 pm in this house we love oh mansoo Nov 29 2017 12:23 am i have beef with the writers cause mansoo/haram isnt gonna be a thing. also its homophobia that haram and 444 kissed i dont make the rules

> Why : "it's homophobia that haram and 444 kissed" ??

Saw Nov 30 2017 10:12 pm Honestly i love the cast (especially Song Seung Hoon and Go Ara) they're really awesome!! Cinematography is also beautiful.

The most good and bad part are the back and forth storyline that made you went to 20 years ago too many times.

Good thing is we could know our heroes better. Bad thing is it took too long and too slow to solve the puzzle (They spent 14 episodes to solve 20 years ago case? When the culprits could be seen obviously?)

But.. I hink this drama entertaining enough to watching.

Ladysungit Nov 30 2017 1:57 pm I dont get it! This drama are to good to watch but the rating is low??what happen kpeople?? Aist kudos to all the actor's en actresses also to the writter en director they all good especially the two main actor hehe go ara is so pretty i really like her especially in this drama en song seung heon are so handsome like the way he act

Manilyn Nov 29 2017 9:08 am Im really thrilled bout this drama.. very satisfied with the act. Cant even sleep .. because all i wanna do is watch this... actors actresses staff directors and producers kudos men..

Fangirl Nov 29 2017 8:12 am @Mio26,@BLACK. Yes. I totally agree with you guys. I love her I actually first watched her on her drama You`re all surrounded. And after that I began to watch all of her dramas.

in this house we love oh mansoo Nov 29 2017 12:23 am i have beef with the writers cause mansoo/haram isnt gonna be a thing. also its homophobia that haram and 444 kissed i dont make the rules

BLACK Nov 28 2017 9:06 pm @Friend , yes i agree. For me she act and she portray her character so well.. She is beautiful outside but more beautiful in the inside.. Y'all i recommend you to check her background/activities first for sure you will really love Go Ara.. ??

StopTheHate ?

BLACK Nov 28 2017 8:53 pm @Fangirl , yes i agree.. She is not just beautiful outside she is so beautiful inside too~ she acts so well for me.. She portray her character so well too.. I suggest y'all to check her background first for sure you will really love her. She is one of those kind hearted celebrity that i adore ?

BLACK Nov 28 2017 8:45 pm @PamV -- The drama was extended.. It has 18 episode so we still have four ep <3

Night Owl Nov 28 2017 5:40 pm Yes in the end they were talking to each other, but from what i remember, moogang's mother was the one who ask him first, but the doctor didn't even look her at first. I remember moogang's mother gestur was like someone who trying to get his attention. "Doctor (....) long time no see" There are 444 writen inside the capsule, even the random grim reaper who found it in hospital knew it was 444's. Another thing that makes me doubt that he is 444's partner is he plays his role as doctor too well, while 444's partner was Leo's manager. Even 444 found it hard to do some basic task like taking a bus, operating smartphone exct. How can 444's partner who wasn't a doctor can succesfully take over and maintain his position in the hospital in just days? And the doctor's personality doesn't match 444's partner.

PamV Nov 28 2017 5:30 pm The doctor is 444’s partner. The partner is after leo since he was leo’s former manager before he committed suicide (and leo was a big factor on him committing suicide). The question is, who is leo? Why is he hiding the fact that he lived in moojin? Why did moo gang go to meet him at the hotel? Only 2 more episodes! Can’t wait for the ending, but at the same time i dread for it to end.

Mio26 Nov 28 2017 2:03 pm Night Owl Doctor is 444's partner. If he was after Leo because of what happen 20 years, he wouldn't only target Leo. It looks like doctor bears big grudge against only Leo. He tried to kill him very risky way. Also he suspect that Moo gang is 444 from the begining. If he was other grim reaper, he couldn't be sure that Moo gang is Black. Also in the flashback about which you are talking, it was doctor who first started talking to Moo Gang's mother. He said that "I hear that you were going to attend seminar."So he recognised her.

Night Owl Nov 28 2017 1:04 pm About the doctor possessed by grim reaper, i think it wasn't 444's partner. Remember the flash back when han moo gang's mother told mad dog detective bout what was happen 20 years ago. She said she went to moojin for a seminar, in the flash back she met the doctor but he seems not to regocnize moo gang's mother. I suspect he was already possessed by grim reaper at that time that he can't regocnize his fellow doctor. He was probably a doctor in his previous life before he became grim reaper. Maybe he was grim reaper that looking for his lost partner like 444 doing. And his lost partner was probably kang haram's father. He is after leo probably because something related to what happened 20 years ago.

Mio26 Nov 28 2017 11:41 am Fangirl;charley I also think that people exaggerate with Go Ara and Ha Ram's character. She acts a lot better than in Hwarang what is not suprising because probable Go Ara didn't want to act in this drama and SM forced her to accept this role. That'why she parted ways with SM. Also I really like 444 but we shouldn't forget that from the begining his intention towards Ha Ram wasn't sincere. He not only repeatedly lied to her but he also prevented Ha Ram from saving people, especially that little boy. Well, He isn't human being or more likely he tries to not being human. So I am okay with his behaviour but I don't get why others think that Ha Ram behaves worse towards him than he towards her.

Noona Nov 27 2017 11:29 pm my heart beat faster than usual I can't hardly wait this drama end. dup dap dup dap.. hahahha.. best kdrama so far

Fangirl Nov 27 2017 10:08 pm This drama is amazing and interesting. The main leads and all the casts are good. I dont understand why other people dont like Go Ara`s acting. I think she`s good and talented enough for the role. She is pretty and based of what i read about her personality I believe that she has a good heart for others. Just saying dont hate her so much. Lets just appreciate her hardworks and efforts while doing this drama. #loveoverhate

4444 Nov 27 2017 4:40 pm Who is the real master mind actually? I don't think it's oh man ho. Could it be that ex-reporter now senator? That spider tatoo didn't kill randomly/ out of fun. He kills for revenge. He has his target. He was there at the demonstration site and he was the one who locked the container door. So his target must be someone inside, and the only possible person is the senator. The one who start the fire didn't mean to really kill them, he said in the phone call with oh man ho. At that time oh man ho looks so concern about that senator geting hurt. And leo is probably his ilegitimate child.

charley Nov 27 2017 2:56 pm why is everyone complaining about Ha-Ram? i love the character even if she's a lil annoying at times. y'all stfu

Daniel Nov 27 2017 8:42 am one of the best dramas for 2017 . I really like 444 character. He really made the drama more interesting and exciting .

Black Nov 27 2017 6:43 am One of best drama in 2017 so far!!! Everything about the drama is well made except Ha ram!! She has become most annoying character.... I don’t fell any chemistry between her and 444.. She’s always leading trouble in 444 life!! The writer should have done a better job:( I didn’t feel an ounce of pity for her when she went missing/ almost dead... Poor 444 n Man so:(:(

Dude Nov 27 2017 6:36 am The drama is good but the way they made the character ha ram is pretty bad. Her solo scene is just so so talkative. But putting that small note aside, ha ram is the stupidest character I've seen in korean drama for more than 10 years. Her stupidity and stubbornness were too much and that stops me from watching it. (I'm at episode 11 and I'm done)

Lil Nov 26 2017 11:47 pm I was waiting this year for a drama that will keep me on my toes all the way until the end, and this is the one. Although I I feel also that the lead actress is a bit lacking, still in this sets he did much better than the hwarang. The story is incredible and I am sure that the ending will be tragic, which makes me very ?, is just annoying that people rate this drama this low. Very well done, thank you for the amazing story and beautiful acting. Black, very strong character and the actor is developing the feelings extremely well.

tim65 Nov 26 2017 10:53 pm No, crazy dog don't die, it's only 4 episodes left, please survive for the rest of the series.

Guiltypleasure Nov 26 2017 9:27 pm Too many violance in episode 13. @ Denisa, I understand what you felt about Go Ara. Actually it's not annoying because of her bad acting, it just her role as a busy buddy and labile that looks rather annoying. I also don't like Ha Ram character, she so rude to Oh Man Soo although he was so kind to her (after giving her so many information) on early episodes. I wonder why Go Ara always get this kind of character in every her dramas, and her expression always same , it made me gave up all her dramas in the middle it's airing, only this drama keep me watching, because Han Mo Gang extremely handsome !! So it so difficult to like her objectively because almost all her character in dramas not interesting. Even here, I don't feel symphaty at all when she died or loose, even I was so worry when Soo wan been kidnapped.

Andrea Nov 26 2017 8:09 pm You can see her dad when they’re in the underworld, I think it’s ep2 when the grim reaper is on his way to get that crystal ball from the machine, her dad is right in front of him and you can see him :o

MForMelissa Nov 26 2017 6:00 pm ep 13 is really nerve wracking tho, i thought han moo gang die already, luckily Ha Ram stay alive, but 444 is Joon? i dont really think so.. remember ep 1/2 at the beginning, he found someone's dead body in the ocean.. damn, i just cant wait to watch the ending..

Ashish Nov 26 2017 12:21 pm Wow amazing drama with full of thriller.Love the cast. After watching 13ep understand the full story. Love from India.

Denisa Nov 26 2017 7:14 am My favourite episode are 2&3. I like the actor,Seung hun. His acting is perfect. But the actress,Go Ara ruins it all. Annoying. How can she get the place to be the lead actress???

seul Nov 26 2017 4:50 am My favorite romantic drama. The final is coming. I wish it never finishes. It seems like all of the crimes are bound up to each other and 444 is maybe Joon. If he finds out that what will happen? Can't wait for the new episodes.

JoonOppa Nov 26 2017 2:28 am Omg I’ve never seen a drama with such an amazing plot! I already feel bad when I think that It will end a day ? Lot of support from Belgium xx

saman Nov 26 2017 1:15 am my simple deduction the real culprit behind this is leo, not oh man ho because wang young chun is try to kill him in the end, and the grim reaper is Park seung chul, thats why hyunsoo (little grim reaper) didnt want left him,,, what a plot twist.... this drama is so tiring but intersting..

Chae Nov 26 2017 12:19 am The drama is so excellent. The plot can't be guess easily. I don't know why i'm always laugh when black jealous with ha ram because of man soo. I don't care what people thinks about go ara acting or whatever because i think all of actor and actress act's are very good in here. I can't be wait for the next episode!!!

martha Nov 25 2017 10:21 pm ep 13 is by far the most exciting and gruesome episode. I have to cover my eyes for some scenes

CrazyDog Nov 25 2017 8:57 pm Now that i've allready knew that the doctor (han moo gang's stepfather) was possessed by grim reaper, i'm wondering how and when he died? And how can he be abble to take a role as a doctor? I mean, the job is not just for anyone, you need formal education to be a doctor. You need skill. And he knew about that medical prescription asked by Yoon Soo Wan, means he might have been possessed since then, a month before han moo gang's death.

BlackFan666 (THEORY BELOW) Nov 25 2017 7:08 pm

- SPOILER AS OF EP12, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**

THEORY: So there was this conclusive part in one of the episodes where Grim Reaper 416 turned into the young boy that died in the Moojin Building Collapse 20 years ago. Remember when that happened? The construction workers were at the redevelopment site where the building collapsed, where suddenly they found a corpse. After they were able to identify it as the rapper boy, 416 turned into his young, original human self. So all the 'pure' and 'higher' grim reapers (not the ones that committed suicide) were all humans at some point, according to Grim Reaper 007. They do not know their identity until their missing body (or skeleton or corpse) is identified by a living human. There was also a mention that a grim reaper's number is based on the date of the said reaper's death, so Grim Reaper 416 supposedly died on the 16th April.

So now, let's take Grim Reaper 444 into account. His number doesn't make any sense. Ok, first digit may mean he died in April... But then, the 44th of April? What? It doesn't make sense.

Now we will take a look at Kim Joon, Ha Ram's first love. Regarding Kim Joon - he is said to have died sometime around the date of the building's collapse in a hit-and-run incident. Fair enough. BUT... He, his younger brother and his step-mother (the doctor mother) went to Moojin because the step-mother had a seminar at a hospital in Moojin. So when the building collapsed, the mother had to help the hospital in Moojin as it was understaffed. She said that it took her 4 days, I SHIT YOU NOT, FOUR DAYS to take care of all the victims. Is the writer hinting at something?

Next, we find out that (forgot which one) she was notified at 4am that Kim Joon was in an accident, or that the police found his body at 4am. FOUR FUCKING AM. Another hint.

Knowing how korean dramas with romance end up, Kim Joon must undoubtedly be Grim Reaper 444 at this point, and his body must be still missing, or there's something wrong with 007's theory on grim reaper's missing human bodies. There are 3 incidents where the digit 4 could be applied to Black's number assignment - 4 for the month of April, 4 for the amount of days it took for someone to find his body, and 4 for the time in AM. But from what we've seen so far, it doesn't make sense compared to Grim Reaper 416. At the same time, I must admit that this whole number assignment may work differently to what I am aware of, I may have just not paid enough attention. To repeat myself, it may seem impossible at first considering his body was identified. The doctor mother was there to check the content of Kim Joon's bag that was found on the hit-and-run scene. We saw the fake pens which were actually smoke bombs.

But there are some things that need explaining or contradict with each other. - Not so long after 444 possessed Moo Gang's body, he had several visions and dreams of Kim Joon's past. This was before we even found out that the body he's possessing did not belong to Kim Joon. Before we found out that the body did not belong to Kim Joon, 007 suggested that 444 may be getting these dreams of Kim Joon's past due to the brain replaying memories/life span, or because he was inside a body that experienced the events he dreamt of. I can't for the love of me go back to the specific episodes where we saw him dreaming of these events (I am an emotional wreck as I have to wait impatiently for the next episode and it's not out yet), but I am sure as hell that he was not specifically dreaming of events where only Moo Gang was present. So if I'm not mistaken, he did dream of events where only Kim Joon was involved. This would contradict with 007's theory regarding the brain replaying memories. This would also not make sense considering what we know so far about how pure Grim Reapers get to receive their identity back. In summary, this must mean that Black's erased memories were slowly attempting to come back to his spiritual self, and so, he must have been Kim Joon all along. - Do we know what happened when the doctor mother was notified about Kim Joon getting in a hit-and-run incident? As far as I remember, we did see her identifying his bag and his fake pens. Didn't a policeman invite her to identify his body shortly after, off-screen? Something must have happened for him to still be considered a grim reaper with a missing body in the human world, even though it's been 20 years. While 007's previous theory on the brain replaying memories was most likely false, he just didn't know about who Moo Gang's body belonged to. So I am uncertain about how much truth there is in the conditions for finding a grim reaper's identity. We saw him trying to silence 416, to prevent him from spilling the identity mystery to 444, that one time when 444 noticed 416 looked different. 007 must have already been able to find his own identity considering he knows this, and it's very likely identified Grim Reapers are keeping this identity mystery secret away from those that still have missing bodies. But to go back to my point, how much truth is there in what 007 said about the identities of grim reapers? Assuming that Kim Joon is 444, is there some sort of rule we don't know about? Before we can go deeper, do we know if Kim Joon's body was actually identified or not?

So yeah... If you came this far, I have to say I'm proud of you, you bastard. All that's been said above is why I think Ha Ram's first love is the same person as 444. For a korean drama with a strong genre of romance, you'd need only the 3 instances of digits 4, plus how kdramas usually end, to put the puzzle pieces together. Regarding how kdramas usually end - think about an ending for Black. Wouldn't it make sense if 444 got his memories back at the end, to find out that he's been next to Ha Ram all along? This would make more sense than finding out that 444 was a stranger all along. Sadly, the drama was ruined for me a bit because of the sudden idea that the above will most likely be the case. I have watched too many kdramas to know that even this amazingly twisted drama would bring old lovers together in the end.

Tipzyneko Nov 25 2017 7:04 pm What if 444's real identity is joon oppa?? Hmmmm

Sarah Nov 25 2017 5:19 pm I'm watching this in Scotland and I love it. It is a bit confusing in places, but I don't speak Korean so maybe some of the details get lost in translation. I love the concept though and the characters have developed well. I still can't work out who is behind it. The story with detective Na and Clara is so sad!

brdwssr Nov 25 2017 12:47 pm Actually, i love this drama, especially its storyline. They keep surprising me with new evidence and fact. Show me nice plot twist. It's worth to watch.

But, i am very sorry to say this, i must agree about Go Ara acts. She was nice at the first time, but i saw her here and in Hwarang, make me dissapoint. She cried a lot at almost every moment. wether she was happy or sad or even frightened. We have lots of facial expression to choose and that's what actors and actresses should learn.

I don't think we -as audiences- can not criticize them, in the name of appreciate others. The actor/actress can learn from our opinion. Besides, this is the comment box. It's our rights. Then it's your choice to be affected or not.

Diana Nov 25 2017 11:41 am It is good drama and I enjoy it, though everyone feels the same. Yet, I don’t like Go ara’ s acting, she is very beautiful and I like her also, but she still needs to learn how to act.. Song Seung Hun never disappointed but I wish he can be good advisor to Go ara for her future career

OMG Nov 25 2017 12:18 am What if OhManSoo is the one that got hurt and tried to save HaRam cuz he was the one showed her the picture of the killer and cuz the key Han MoGang stepped on didn't Oh Man Soo recently have one his father told him to get from the safe ?????

BLACK~ Nov 23 2017 10:23 pm It is my first ever K-drama that i didnt expect or wish a happy ending cos i was blown away already by the plot in this story~

Anjel Nov 23 2017 7:57 am I like the story and the twists in the plot, it turns you into a mini detective. Trying to figure out; what's 444 true identity? What is the serial killers real motivation? Why is someone trying to kill MoGang? Who has the tape? How will Oh Mansoo react when he finds out the truth? What's Oh ManSoo dark side they was hinted about? So many and so few episodes left to piece the clues together.

Rainbouuu Nov 23 2017 6:31 am It's probably not for you dany. If the writer make the story simple, this drama just going to be another boring drama.

This is my best criminal drama in 2017, after Secret forest.

있어 Nov 22 2017 11:47 pm Guessing that Ha Ram will become a grim reaper then she’ll end up with 444.. yay!! I hope so...

dany Nov 22 2017 11:24 pm too complicated story, it will be easier to understand if the writer make it simple.

minmin Nov 22 2017 9:59 pm Can’t wait for saturday and sunday! I know there is a twist about Ha Ram's entanglement with the killer; my gut feeling tells me that she's not yet dead! She is the female protagonist afterall. What really happened to Ha Ram? o.o And that killer, kills for revenge, I think. He killed those people closed or linked to Oh Man-Ho for locking him up in the mental hospital for 20 years. And that doctor is he reaper 444s’ partner? ‘Coz, he’s trying to kill Leo. Can't stop thinking! :)

:) Nov 22 2017 1:35 am You may dislike some actors or actresses, but don't vilify them with the name of the drama they play. it will greatly affect the interest of curious netizens who want to watch it. if you don't like one of the actors or actresses in a drama, just stay silent, don't write a bad comment and don't have to watch the drama :)

Noodle Nov 21 2017 11:57 pm This could be better if Go Ara is the not the female lead. I swear, I tried to like her in every episode because Seung Hoon is one of my fave korean actors but her acting is getting on my nerves! I can't feel her, whether she acts sad, grieving, happy, in love, and cute. Her acting in hwarang was almost the same in this kdrama. So disappointing on her character. I like all of the casts...the detectives, Leo, Oh Man Soo, and the Grim Reapers. It's just her really, her acting particularly.

Mi Nov 21 2017 8:49 pm Haram don't give up!

Cazinblack Nov 21 2017 7:44 pm 444 cant be the day he died or went missing because he has never been human has he? So, he won't have actually died. He has a high ranking and is contemptuous of those that have previously lived mortal lives.

Shahaha Nov 21 2017 3:37 pm I can't wait to watch ep 13 and i hope Ha Ram didn't die ?

Sasasa Nov 21 2017 2:20 pm @ edo tensei. Agree, with all the twist,the idea that black was joon sounds too easy. I think 444 will be someone unpredictable but still related to the case.

shila Nov 21 2017 1:51 pm Like-A-Film-by-블랙-OST-Part-2 the ending song on ep12:)

Kiekie Nov 21 2017 8:33 am Does anyone know the endong song name on ep12?

Tiffany Nov 21 2017 4:42 am I'm confused about the whole 419, 416, 444 thing being the day they became missing people. They went on to say 416 was April 16th. What the heck is 444 then?

0404 Nov 21 2017 3:52 am @Oohsehun Ha ram said "she can't see her own shadow" and 444 is her shadow

laila Nov 21 2017 1:33 am I really like this dramas , lots of mystery, lots of twist and interlocking. chemistry between main actors and also does not disappoint.I admire Song Seung Hun. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Duyen Nov 21 2017 1:04 am This drama is twisted, thrilling but hilarious at the same time so it's very intriguing and fun to watch! The humor in this drama made me laugh way too hard and much, which is a good thing. I recommend this drama!

Edo tensei Nov 20 2017 11:46 pm Seems this drama has so many twist was if going back to the beginning when Black jumps in the water and sees the car with his body. Now finding out that joon died from a hit and run so I find unlikely that the doctor mom mistook joon dead body for another revealing black as joon I think is too simple but what if black was the person who hit and kill joon with his car and sometime after driving away in his car whether accident or intentional he got into a car accident driving the car into the water dying and never being found becoming a reaper. I say this cause black being joon is too simple plus both brothers where in love with the young doctor\fiance

Iis Nov 20 2017 9:50 pm Not bored. This the first impression from this drama. I just finished watching ep 12 and I can't wait for the next ep.

BangtanMissRyt Nov 20 2017 9:17 pm This drama is making me connect pieces together and I'm hooked. I love the chemistry between the actors and I don't know why some of you doesn't like it. Go Ah Ara's acting improved and the Song Seung-Heon is a hottie. The story line is unpredictable and I'm looking forward for the final episode. I'm loving this!

Lazymaha Nov 20 2017 4:57 pm I just finished watching ep 12 and seeing black kneeling on the ground and that sorrowful face he made tore my heart apart, everything and everyone in the drama are doing a great job! I just can’t wait for more romantic scenes between black and ha ram ( especially when he finds her and she’s not dead) crossing my fingers that she’s not dead... and go ara is amazing her acting is amazing in here I love it!

Lieya Nov 20 2017 11:17 am @heestan: I think as Joon’s body was still missing, his doctor mom swapped his ashes with Park Seung Chul’s.

Yui Nov 20 2017 11:01 am Omg this drama is awesome! It’s getting better, and the pieces are coming together. I can’t wait to see the ending, but yet again, I don’t want the show to end ): guys, you need to watch closely and connect the pieces of the show to understand everything. You can already kinda tell who’s who in the show.

starsklover Nov 20 2017 10:17 am @heestan I don't think 444 is Joon oppa. Because they found Joon's body by the road remember? Police called his mother (Moogang's mother) that Joonie is found dead and possibly caused by hit and run. So it's really his ashes. According to grim reaper's rules, once your body found, you'll no longer wander and you'll go whether to heaven or hell (exceptional for suicidal who'll take longer time). Unless writer decides to put some twist. About 444, in the first episode, the first scene was Song Seung Heon jumps into the ocean and found a car with a skeleton inside. He said "is this me?". This scene left an impression to me that I still remember until now. I don't know whether the scene was made for impression, or it's just a dream, I have doubt that the director/writer does that scene without any meaning. So I think the skeleton is 444.........

and my wild imagination telling me that 444 could be Seungcheol. The Time Mujin mall's victim, the boy whose body still missing.. They only found his hand though. If he's dead in that incident, he could be 444 or any other missing souls but it won't explain the ocean. If the skeleton in the ocean is really him, he might survive the incident but dies later. Wow my imagination is really wild! In addition, the hip hop boy/grim reaper, whose body was just found and now able to go to heaven, telling the older grim reaper that he will delay his journey to heaven until 444 found his true-self. Seungcheol and the hip hop boy were best friends. So considering the dramatization/emotional effect, I thought that 444 might be Seungcheol!

Risyacha Nov 20 2017 9:58 am I don't understand with the negative comment. For me this latest episode 11 and 12 is really good. They give us more things to know. This story doesn't only revolve around Haram who busy want to survive someone lifes. Everythings that happened in this drama has its own connection to it and at the last episode it will be solve. If any of you are still think whether to watch or not, just watch and decide it by yourself. Don't care about the negative comment.

Btw, omg if haram die how the story will go???????? can't wait for the next week episodes!

heestan Nov 20 2017 6:50 am if 444 is really the the dead Joon oppa, then whose ashes are in the columbarium (supposing that 444 is really a missing person)? where is Joon oppa really buried? and how will this drama end? since Haram is supposed to die and 444 is supposed to collect her soul, then by the time that they actually find Joon oppa's body from 13 years ago, will they go to heaven together? do i make sense!!!? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

- compared to go ara's character in hwarang, i can say that either her acting really improved a lot or her character in hwarang just really sucks hahaha. but her acting in Black is actually superb.

SH Nov 20 2017 6:28 am @JK : Exactly!!! I too was so much into this drama when there were 10 epi and story was moving a bit faster but now its totally upside down..very slow and they are not bringing character into the story yet. Why they keep on extending without any needed plot :| Even single epi is more than 60min... :( Wish they could improve.

dan Nov 20 2017 5:49 am i honestly love this drama a lot, if u are not sure to watch it or not bcs of the negative then u should give it a try and judge urself. i dont get it why everyone hates go ara's character bcs if i was in her shoes, id done the same thing. on the other hand, i really love the chemistry i hope there will be kissing scene heheheh and i am so curious about the ending so i will keep watching

sophia Nov 20 2017 3:31 am go ara fits this drama,her acting improve so much,i know that there will be someone who have negative comments her,but i really loved her character in this drama,i understand why she try to save everyone,i would also done the same thing if i were her,and i loved her chemistry with the male lead,and the story is interesting and i loved the plot great drama great actress,great actor loved it alll

Lizzie M Nov 20 2017 2:04 am The title of the drama is Black but it shd juz be Ha Ram coz every week its all abt her.... black juz goes ard followig her n saving her ass so wats d morale of the whole drama?? Im gonna stop watching tis now..

JK Nov 20 2017 1:51 am When I watched the 1st and 2nd eps, I was so excited about this show. But slowly I'm losing interest in it. I dont know why Ha Ram needs to get her nose in everybody's business. She wants to help but she keeps imposing on others. This show is losing its main focus of the show as the show progresses. It's so torturing watching the latest ep 11 & 12. I cant stand her and dont understand why she feels that she needs to save everybody. It keeps me thinking.... "what is the whole plot of this show actually?"

Ainul Nov 19 2017 10:58 pm Go ara fits this drama ya woo tal go to helll if u said that she doesnt fit in this drama

Nour Nov 19 2017 8:19 pm Amazing drama black and secret forest are 2017's best dramas

WooTak Nov 19 2017 7:25 pm OMG this drama is beyond Awesome!!!! The plot is soo damm good... I started watching this drama because I was bored and just wanted to give it a try.. Even thought of stop watching it at a point. But now I’m totally addicted to this drama.. I desperately wait for the weekend so I can watch this one!! Song Seung Heon fits the character perfectly!! His acting and the mysterious plot covers up Go Ara’s character!! Why did they even choose her as female lead??! She lacks in acting skills!! How can a person look the same while in different stages of emotions?? I stopped watching Hwarang coz of her.. I feel drama would have been much better with someone else as female lead.

PLEXIMIA Nov 19 2017 6:50 pm @pau Anyone remembers the very first scene of this drama, where moo gang jumps off froma cliff and swims down to find a car...he sees someone inside it ..and screams in his mind saying.".is this me , is this really me?"...so according to that scene..444 cannot be jooni oppa because he didn't die in that way..instead he can be the one who was responsible for the hit and run case which killed jooni oppa

Shd Nov 19 2017 10:21 am I can't feel the chemistry between the main lead....go Ara Lil bit annoying... Even when she's cry I can't felt her sadness....

CrazyDog Nov 19 2017 3:35 am So 419 was clara .... I knew there was something between 419 and crazy dog when 419 saw crazy dong at hit and run site. But i thought he was his child or something not his lover.6

Gabriella Nov 19 2017 1:49 am I can"t sleep every weekend because of this drama ... Hope it will be happy ending

m8gab7e Nov 18 2017 2:16 pm Worst female lead actress i've ever seen, cringy everytime i see her. The drama was almost superb with great storyline and male lead, but go hara acting was pure manureeee.

Pau Nov 18 2017 10:23 am I think Joon Oppa is 444 that’s why he is falling in love with Ha Ram (they are childhood friends after all). And then Detective Han is the one who killed Clara, he is Han Moo Chan that is why his heart is beating whenever he sees the doctor. Just sad that Ha Ram’s true Joon Oppa is dead now. I feel like the ending of this drama will be too much tears but I still like it.

Rita Nov 18 2017 5:49 am In the 10th ep. Reaper 007 said to reaper 416 the number is their death date like April 16th, so how do we make of 444 and 007, am confused here... ? However love the drama ??. Like the character of detactive Han so much ?..

Michelle Nov 16 2017 11:27 pm this is a really good drama, i watched every episode. LOVE it. the plot is interesting not beacuse of the actors... but then i like them too

Bread Nov 16 2017 2:23 pm @noodle, i don't think leo possessed by grim reaper, because if he really were, haram must seen the shadow inside his body. Buy she wasn't. I think there are untold back story between han moo gang and leo. Leo was there too when han moo gang killed. Han moo gang saw him in a hotel room.

kiki Nov 16 2017 8:57 am 444 is the main lead guy. the old grim reaper who took the detective's body. he looks for his partner. as the three grim reapers said - only another grim reaper can see the ball aka the doctor (evil one) is the grim reaper whom they look for. i love how the main lead dude is so.. "i dont care about anything" but he can see himself falling in love. This show is like goblin. love it. I love how those policemen are made as important as rest of the lead actors. But i never understand why some kpop idols are always put into shows. it makes me feel like all dramas have to have someone super handsome and famous inside to make people watch it while kdrama actors are even more handsome haha

wall Nov 16 2017 2:58 am too much question, now im confused about who is actually 444

Noodle Nov 16 2017 2:14 am I think there is something about Leo's character. Looking forward to it.. Before, I thought Leo is the one GrimReaper444 is looking for but I'm confused now since, that doctor can also see Grim Reapers and can see the capsule..

Belle Nov 15 2017 1:48 am I'm so lost at episode 10 now.

monica Nov 15 2017 12:16 am I find Ha Ram rather annoying at times. Don't think I like Go-Ara's acting. Just my personal opinion.

juju Nov 14 2017 9:03 pm i think 444 is not joon but moo gang. y moo gang mother very afraid if joon mother met her son? and when the flash back during joon accident they didnt show joon whole body.

merong Nov 13 2017 11:58 am i don't think that black is joon, if he is 444, then it mean he died in April 1944... nd joon didn't die in 1944 :\

Tyna Nov 13 2017 11:35 am Too complicated story line. It will be good if you make it simple.

LoneGunMan Nov 13 2017 9:49 am Jo Jae-Yun and Kim Won-Hae are in a lot of good shows this year. Mad Dog, While you were Sleeping...

Auro Nov 13 2017 9:00 am Just finished episode 10, and I'm so confused oh god.

444 Nov 13 2017 7:34 am If 416, 419, 007, 444 is the death date, so when exactly 444 and 007 death date? April 44? and Zero Month 07?

myclarisa Nov 13 2017 7:25 am I think 444 is Joon Oppa. The first scene in episode 1 showed that Han Moo Gang who possessed by Black found the skeleton at the bottom of the sea, it's his skeleton which never found by anyone. And make sense why Ha Ram can see the shadow of death because I think Ha Ram's father is Grim Reaper who accidentally see Ha Ram's mother eyes when he supposes to take Ha Ram's father soul when he died because of the car accident. (see scene when a couple get a car accident). I think grim reaper who accidentally see human eyes when he/she falling in love, that grim reaper will fall in love too with that human. So Ha Ram basically a half human and a half grim reaper.

nadkorea93 Nov 13 2017 4:10 am best drama after goblin. love it so much..

MINIE Nov 13 2017 1:35 am realy enjoy this drama..i think maybe 444 is joon oppa brother...

Myra sharif Nov 12 2017 11:04 am Oh my god! Im really enjoy watching this story, im keep folowing this story and untill cant wait for the next episode that want to release. I love this story's plot. Im really want that handsome guy 'black' can stay with that beauty kang ha ram.

Maeryam Nov 12 2017 9:10 am Thank you for this marvelous drama. I'm enjoying it so much that I wish it was even 22 episodes. Lovely cast and riveting plot. Kudos to Black kdrama crew. Song Seung Heon, Go Ara, etc... Impressive

tim65 Nov 12 2017 12:06 am 1st ha-ram can't see her own shadow, 2nd 444 is actually inside joon oppa, so as long as he is wearing black clothes, she won't be able to see 444 shadow, black color prevents her from seeing shadow, especially the one inside, that is why she wearing sunglasses so she doesn't have to see shadows. look like the head doctor at the hospital is being possessed by a shadow, since he can see the number 444 inside the capsule, guess he's the run away grim reaper that 444 has been looking for. he's gonna stir up some more troubles, and looks like 444 is in love with ha-ram now, episode 9, he looks straight into her eyes, getting more and more interesting, good thing it's not 10 episode, 10 would be too short.

tim Nov 12 2017 12:05 am 1st ha-ram can't see her own shadow, 2nd 444 is actually inside joon oppa, so as long as he is wearing black clothes, she won't be able to see 444 shadow, black color prevents her from seeing shadow, especially the one inside, that is why she wearing sunglasses so she doesn't have to see shadows. look like the head doctor at the hospital is being possessed by a shadow, since he can see the number 444 inside the capsule, guess he's the run away grim reaper that 444 has been looking for. he's gonna stir up some more troubles, and looks like 444 is in love with ha-ram now, episode 9, he looks straight into her eyes, getting more and more interesting, good thing it's not 10 episode, 10 would be too short.

Mona Nov 11 2017 1:47 pm While some people would say the drama is similar to "while you were sleeping" for me "black" is waaay better that WYWS (just an uncommon opinion, don't hate me) even tho Im a big fan of lee jong suk and suzy this drama is the better one, the plot is just amazing

44444 Nov 11 2017 7:29 am So finally we've got the answer why haram can't see shadow inside moo gang's dead body. Because 444 supposed to collect haram soul, means he is haram's shadow. Haram can't see her own shadow she said.

angela Nov 09 2017 9:47 am 18 episodes now??? last time it was like 10 omg are they really extending the amount of episodes i'm losing my shit

MforMelissa Nov 09 2017 4:27 am In every different episode hv its own story but somehow still related, its really awesome how they cn create this kind of drama.. Cant wait for the next episode, main lead they trully a great combo! Thumbs up!!

Scar Nov 08 2017 9:28 pm I love this drama! Sometimes I got goosebumps for all the strange things that happen. I'm a fan of Song Seung Heon for the way he acts and being <3 I can't believe I get involved since the first episode!

Kimi Nov 07 2017 9:41 pm I love this drama, but it is quite stressful to watch Go Ara's character.. Her character is to prevent people from dying, but those people still ended up dying..This story is definitely the opposite of While you were sleeping.

dai Nov 07 2017 8:13 pm OCN really produced a well viewed drama! Many thumbs for you!! The drama has many twists; the corpse inside the car under water, w/c Moo Gang said something like "It's me..it's my body"; the dead skeleton they found w/ silicon, w/c found out during investigation that it was a transgender; the story about his girlfriend, w/c is during high school he saw her with a woman hurting her looking for a tape and I think that resulted her changing her name or identity. And the killer of Ha-Ram father, that also killed the director of the mental institute where he stayed, and the killer's connection to Yoon So-Wan. I'm on the 2nd episode of the drama, and I am already 'twisted'.... :D :D scenarios and possible plots keeps playing on my mind. OCN, the people behind this drama and the actors and actresses are all great! You've made another drama that viewers will love!

Ryu Jin Nov 07 2017 7:39 am @Oohsehun HaRam couldn't see black shadow in MooGang's body bcause it was night and dark in that room (hospital) as you know that black color and shadow can not be seen in the dark

nana Nov 06 2017 10:44 pm well, there is alot of wierd scene here and there. But i just love this drama. Every single episode just drive me crazy. What When How Who???????..... I hope that the weird scene was part of the mystery. There is alwasy a story behind it. BLACK FIGHTING !!!!

Reply Nov 06 2017 8:21 pm @Kartini No, it was the decompose body in 1st episode. They found silicons in it's chest. Crazy dog suspect it as transgender.

ju Nov 06 2017 7:39 pm can someone help me....what the name of the song in the opening of this drama?

Kartini Nov 06 2017 10:17 am Who is the person with dna result 99.9% male? Is it Mo Gang's mother? The result is in Mo Gang's drawer at police station.

Oohsehun Nov 06 2017 8:54 am Just Opinion: -Aneh aja, katanya Ha Ram ga bisa lihat bayangan hitam karena Han Moogang pakai baju hitam, but jelas jelas waktu pertama kali Ha Ram ketemu Han Moogang di RS pakai baju RS dan jelas itu warnanya PUTIH. Banyak kejadian janggal yg ga masuk akal sih, setuju juga sama pendapat @Andri, but so far gue suka drama ini dan masih berhasil buat gue terus terusan penasaran, gue sih berharap di endingnya semua kejanggalan itu bisa di selesaikan kalau ga ya bisa dianggap sebuah kegagalan pertama buat drama crime thriller nya OCN.

i love iu Nov 06 2017 8:05 am currently watching this and it leaves my mouth open in shock every.single.episode. plot twists for every ep especially during ep 7 where there are 3984239 plot twists about the owner of the butterfly watch.... goosebumps.. can't believe it's ending so soon

Shobie Nov 06 2017 5:36 am

BLACK <3

Really interesting..and good combo of actors. Waiting for next epi...yet at first it was only 10 epi but now they extended to 16 epi... :)

Let's see how they gonna bring it up!!!

- Nov 06 2017 12:08 am i dont think oh man soo is the killer but i think his brother, always being suspicious and a secret person.

Lunia Nov 05 2017 5:59 am OCN so far never failed deliver crime thriller drama, from the first I watched Voice followed by Duel and now Black. Thanks OCN

Black Nov 05 2017 1:51 am is oh man soo a real killer? Oh no!!

Flower Nov 04 2017 10:29 pm The Actor and actress is a good combination. All are the best. This is the best crime/mystery genre. Its make me feel like 'okay what next.. What's next?' can't wait to see the next episode. So good & worth to watch.

Pearly Nov 04 2017 3:38 pm This drama leaves me jaw dropping every time.......... Detective you are all look Black nice. Bread Pitt??? From Cameroon

Zara Nov 04 2017 8:34 am it has 16 episodes... not 10...i was confused too...actually i almost cried lol...i really love this drama.. Ajusshi loookkksss damn in Black...love love love love... i highly recommend this...

Naro Nov 03 2017 9:45 am I like this drama so much. I always wait for the next eps in saturday-sunday.

M.U.S.A Nov 02 2017 6:11 pm WoW this drama is sooo daebak. I've just known that this drama is written by the same writer with iljimae's. fyi, Iljimae is the best drama I ever watched. Same as with Iljimae, Black has complicated story. I guess Black will be one of my top five dramas. writer-nim fighting!!!

C0reen Nov 02 2017 4:08 pm This show will be 16 episodes long. At the wiki page look at the right table instead of the ratings one...

aini Nov 01 2017 8:33 am Always waiting next episode and excited watching Song Seung Heon as Handsopme Horor Grim Reaper so #blackocndrama #songseungheon #goara DAEBAK !!!!!!!! from INDONESIAN Fans @3nilov3u ^^

May Choy Nov 01 2017 3:12 am This drama is worth watching just for Bread Pitt... Song Seung Heon as Black with peanut butter is just delightful. He looks so good in black suits. Swoon

Nero Nov 01 2017 1:33 am Song Seung-Heon does not aged so it seems. Maybe he is real life grim reaper. Lol.

However, I just started watching this drama, and the story is getting weirder. Not sure if I should continue watching or give up watching...

Jess Oct 31 2017 7:30 pm Why is it only 10 episides. Means 4 episodes left..please extend the episodes..10 episodes isn't enough..

Lee Sugar Oct 30 2017 1:41 pm This drama has been so amazing. Song Seung Heon is such a good actor. OCN please do viewers a favour by increasing the episodes from 10 to 16. Black hwaiting!

bbeom Oct 30 2017 6:52 am @Natalia ah you're right! That's why i think he looks very familiar. Bcs i just watched My secret romance recently and he was there as the second male lead ? thanks.

Natalia Oct 30 2017 4:54 am @bbeom I dunno as well, but I think its Kim Jae Young :3 His look seems a bit look alike for me

bbeom Oct 30 2017 2:39 am Can anyone tell me who act as Leo the artist?

Zhou Oct 30 2017 12:01 am I really like this kind korean mystery drama. Not a typical korean drama. The plot almost the same as The Village where mysteries got solve like a puzzle. Cant wait for next episode.

BE Oct 29 2017 10:07 pm I love the way Ha Ram loves Black, and I prefer the Black way, he never could have guessed what he would do <3

tim Oct 29 2017 9:11 pm oh, i love the other two grim reapers, no.007 and no.416, they're so funny, one is addicted to k-drama, the other addicted to reality show like "show me the money" and keeps rapping instead of talking normally.

tim Oct 29 2017 9:05 pm well, i think the real joon oppa already dead when he was young, he probably died in a car accident when he and his mom moved away, and the car in under the ocean, that's why at the beginning of episode 1, we see black diving into the ocean and found his dead body being trapped in a car. so the real joon oppa died and became grim reaper, and the reason he doesn't remember his past is because he didn't commit suicide, only those committed suicide remember their past. the one black is possessing is actually the younger boy he keeps seeing in his dream. ha-ram's father probably possessed by a grim reaper too, in episode 2, there is a flash back of a young newly wed couple driving in a car and a grim reaper sitting in the back seat, they got a car accident and the husband seem like he died, a grim reaper standing by the flipped over car at that moment he was looking straight into the eye of the injured wife and his thought went like "a grim reaper cannot look into the eye of a person in love" which probably means that he would fall in love with that person, so the grim reaper possessed ha-ram's father because he fall in love with ha-ram's mother and she was born, so she is 1/2 human and 1/2 grim reaper, that's why she can see black shadow.

Honey Oct 29 2017 7:02 am When black keep on seeing the past of moo gang..i think he actually the real kim jinn oppa.. because in the past, there is jinn n another kid..i think another kid is moo gang..n jinn already dead m become grim reaper...so, black shud be ha ram 1st love..hahaha

jerry Oct 29 2017 1:22 am i think the lost partner of the grim reaper is in the body of Oh So-Tae. only my gut from watching not so many mystery k-dramas

Aireand Bautista Oct 28 2017 9:31 pm Highly Recommended Korean Series. This Series will make you think and Solve anything and yet there is still missing so you need to watch it Carefully and Fully to understand the Whole Story. Yay! So far superb Episode 1 to 5 Great Job Well Executed Plot Best Story and Actors are so Damn Good. Applaud for this series!

Mio26 Oct 28 2017 7:03 pm émlee Even if black was human (what we can suspect because he has this memories about Moo gang and this boy, so he can be one of these two ,but it could be also his memories as grim reaper), for now he don't know about it. So why producers would make spoiler by saying that joon is a black or this little kid. They're not dumb.

Mio26 Oct 28 2017 6:52 pm Dubz Beca Maybe because it was dark (the lights were turned off). In next scene we see that it's a day and he manage to put on black jacket before she come.Also when grim reaper first time meet Haram after shooting he is also wearing black jacket.

émlee Oct 28 2017 3:22 am does anyone know who acts as black when he was young or have a pic of black when he was young ?

SunGlass Oct 27 2017 2:59 pm My guess is Haram father was her mother's husband possessed by the grim reaper. You know the grim reaper seen in the accident, had eye contact with Haram's mother. So Haram is probably Grim Reapers daughter. That's why her mother abandoned her and her father and said that gave birth to her was a mistake. If that was the case, i think there are some exception. Haram can't see shadow inside his father body, probably because his father is pure grim reaper like 444, not a human turned in to grim reaper. That's why haram can't see shadow inside "black".

Dubz Oct 27 2017 12:23 am I have a feeling she already knows that there's a black shadow inside detective Han and she also saw him push the boy with the similar shadow...she's just pretending not to know so that she can come to know the truth

black cat Oct 26 2017 8:55 pm Well, so far it's good and getting better! I really enjoyed watching the previous episodes and it is one that kept me on thinking about the mysteries like solving a puzzle (I never knew I would like this kind of drama! It's not so dark because of the humor in it!) And I really like Go Ara since Hwarang! I'm glad she's in it! the role is perfect for her!!! Her eyes are just mesmerizing! Ssh's voice is so manly! I like how all the cast give life to this drama. Black fighting!!!!

Lolo Oct 26 2017 6:53 am I think there are more reasons than just detective Han wearing black therefore she can’t see the shadows. I’m guessing it’s just what the 3 grim reapers assumed. Black even had a human dream which made me think he is becoming more human. They only talked about human grim reapers going into human body but never talk about what happens if a pure grim reaper goes inside a human body.

Dubz Oct 26 2017 12:47 am But then why dint she see the shadow when he was in the hospital initially when he wasn't wearing black?

Aria Oct 25 2017 11:53 pm I love the show but I'm starting to really dislike Go Ara! She's always crying per episode and i dont like her crying-acting skills especially during Hwarang days. To the point I was always disappointed when its her scene's turn. Anyway, the drama is really worth watching. Looking forward for the weekend!

KN Oct 25 2017 5:06 pm @Norama : they explained on ep 3. Because the grim reaper wear all black suits so that she cannot see the grim reaper. As same as when she wears sunglasses, she cannot see the shadow

Norama Oct 25 2017 8:20 am @Rinroxx I thinking about that too.. Why she didn't see the grim reaper on Han detective body .. Still little bit confused about this drama .. Too much missing puzzle .. And much the same scene with other dramas .. I feel watched While you were sleeping, goblin, terminator, fantastic four .. HAHAHAHAHAHA ?

afita Oct 25 2017 8:20 am If you like thriller, i recommended this drama

gizibe Oct 25 2017 6:32 am i really really want to watch this.... but, go ara.... why :'(

Ariane Oct 24 2017 11:56 pm Kim Tae Woo is Grim Reaper no. 444 =)

Jac Oct 24 2017 8:32 pm What is the name of the Grim Reaper no.444?anyone know?

Rinroxx Oct 23 2017 9:12 pm This drama is so interesting to watch i swear. i got hooked when i first watch Ha-Ram (Go ara) scene in the airplane and i watched until recent episode. But i just wondering why on earth she did not see the Grim Reaper shadow inside the Detective (Black)?? Or im just missing some small detail ? T.T

emma Oct 23 2017 6:08 pm if you are not watching this drama then you're missing the half of your life. the plot is so interesting it might be confusing but if we know the whole story from the begining then where is the fun in it.the writer is so clever I can't wait for the next ep and the cast is doing an amazing job. I highly recommend this drama don't miss it. (sorry for my week eng).

Hasnia Oct 23 2017 3:30 pm This is great...Unpredictable. .! I can't wait for the next episodes ?

Dolphin Oct 23 2017 10:52 am Love Song Seung Heon's work! He is so gorgeous!!! Loved him in Autumn Heart, one of his best work! Love Black and the cast members. Great drama and it's unpredictable, that's what I love. Can't wait for the next episode!

Novianti Oct 23 2017 10:14 am This is super cool drama... love all the cast members. Can't wait for the next episoďe

444 Oct 23 2017 3:53 am This drama is really the best! Every moment of it keeps you on the edge.

Black Oct 23 2017 3:45 am This drama is daebak! Unpredictable!! Thrillers like Black are indeed the best!!!

Aisyah Natasya Oct 22 2017 9:40 pm I just don't get this movie. But somehow it's interesting. It makes me wanna watch this drama and I just can't wait for the new episodes everyday. Somehow its confusing but yet you can't stop waiting for new episodes. I guessed thats because I know this drama its worth to wait.

Joyous Oct 22 2017 7:24 pm Is this good? I am planning to drop Revolutionary Love for this? Is it worth it to watch?

Christine Choi Oct 21 2017 8:33 pm I am so hooked on this drama and you will be too. It is a thriller, but also includes hilarious scenes too. The relationships between all of the cop men is so funny. Highly recommend this one! Hope to see a romance bloom between the two leads very soon.

Gift Oct 21 2017 12:10 pm Milo26 I agree with you. I find this show very interesting and entertaining. People need to be more patient please.

Mio26 Oct 19 2017 4:31 pm I don't get why people are so impatient this days. It's really such pleasure to watch drama if you know everything after two episodes? I get that it isn't easy plot and you have to be really concentrated but that's what makes mystery interesting. It's really fun to try solving mystery by yourself.

LL Oct 19 2017 9:51 am Just started this drama and it has already piqued my interest. The cinematography is really good! Plus, I'm looking forward to SSH and Go Ara! And the episodes are longer! I hope the writers make good use of it, and avoid too many fillers and or unnecessary scenes (which tends to happen a lot lately with Kdramas).

Lyfkahong Oct 19 2017 8:20 am Ep 2 was really hilarious! I think this is the most unique role that SSH has ever got. I love him since East of Eden. But his roles and drama after EoE were not quite good to me. Somehow boring and absurd storyline. But Black is different! SSH can play funny character like he used to be in He Was Cool movie. And of course his Mysterious-looking eyes can't be missed.

kyrie :) Oct 18 2017 11:50 pm Can anyone tell me when do each eps come out? What day of the week please? Plus it's a beautiful drama. Love it. I knew it was Go Ara haha she's so pretty

Kat Oct 18 2017 4:27 pm I just finished ep 1. My mom told me I would love this drama and she’s not wrong. It is so confusing though. I still don’t understand the moment it started but hopefully things will be cleared up soon. I can’t wait to see how he acts in episode 2.

Reaper Oct 18 2017 12:09 pm Fantastic drama. Unique plot and superb acting from all the cast. I recommend it.

SunGlass Oct 18 2017 5:11 am First episode was so dark and depressing, so many blood, death and other disgusting thing. i thought this was some kind of horor genre and not for me. I regret watching first episode because of that frightening shadows in the airplan. Sooooo scary . didn't plan to watch second episode, but i have nothing to watch. I didn't expect the second episode will be that hilarious, hahahahahah. Looking forward for the next episode. This is my best song seung heon drama After "Pop Corn" and "Endless Love" . i watched Dr.Jin and Saimdang, but he is suit his character better in this drama.

ERA Oct 18 2017 1:50 am Interesting drama!!!

bdxpelik Oct 18 2017 1:06 am Okay, first of all: It's so totally confusing. I'm hoping things would clear up the more episodes are released. Second: A lot of disgusting scenes. We don't need that much toilet humor, but I'm willing to ignore them if the story is good. And I hope it would be. On the bright side, the cinematography is awesome! The scenery, the representation of the shadows, really beautiful and frightening! Things that happen have me gasping in shock (and a lot of times, disgust) and I'm excited to find out how the plot will unfold. The thing with Ha Rum's ability is great as well and Go Ara displays it well.

Ah, fair warning. The episode are really long. About 1 1/4 hours. So it's almost like watching a movie.

Karen Oct 17 2017 10:30 pm Loved the first episode lead protagonist. When at the end of the episode his corpse is possessed by the grim reaper (!) and he becomes some kind of edgy teenager with red eyes that was enough for me. No, thanks.

Chen Oct 17 2017 8:13 pm Love this drama!! Superb!!!

Andie Oct 17 2017 4:27 pm This drama is so filthy & dirty. If not because of the good storyline, I would've stop since the first ep. This drama has a lot of disgusting parts that I don't see myself watching it again after it ends.

whynot Oct 17 2017 2:48 pm interesting drama gorgeous lead actors.

Hue Oct 17 2017 12:16 pm Why does Goo Ara looking more like Kim So Hyun in the show? My dad actually asked if she’s KSH… but nonetheless, Goo Ara is so pretty! I can look at her amber eyes forever.

Geseil Oct 17 2017 4:59 am i like this drama it has a unique story????

emjay Oct 16 2017 10:39 pm the first 2 episode was good... i was hype to see more! you should give a try for this drama

Chloe Oct 16 2017 9:33 pm I only tried this drama for fun can't believe it is actually awesome.. super thumbs up

Chloe Oct 16 2017 9:32 pm Oh My God!!!! This drama is super crazy!!!! Totally recommend this drama??? twas unexpectedly funny and all.. I was totally hooked up.. Can't wait for episode 3!!!!!!!!!

Sarafen Oct 16 2017 7:11 pm I love this drama especially Song Seung-Heon. He is good in acting. Episode 1 & 2 are very interesting and looking forward for the rest of episode.... :)

so ah Oct 16 2017 3:03 pm my first OCN drama and i'll say this, I am very pleased. good job, Black team. FIGHTING!!

ANISAH Oct 16 2017 8:13 am ?????

castlin Oct 16 2017 7:48 am I keep asking myself... if i' m going to watch this drama? Song Seung Heon is my first bias ever ( Autumn of My heart ) but i was so disappointed with Go Ara for so many times... i didn't even watch Hwarang because of her. I barely manage to finished the drama You're All Surrounded for Lee Seung Gi Oppa. and I never watched any Go Ara movie film or drama after that. I cannot even look at her. Then... I told to myself.. Let's give it a try.. we should support our bias. We should support Song Seung Heon.. he is a great actor and i like seeing him in the small box. Then I started watching... for the first two episode I ( who watched total 179 drama series ) I can say that this drama is worth a try... as per Go Ara she is doing well.. so far so good! and to all who keeps comparing this from the previous fantasy drama you've watched with the same genre. This is what I can say... stop comparing and enjoy watching..comparing will just ruin your mood at the end of the day you spend hours for watching the drama. So.. Enjoy watching!!!!

SSH fandom Oct 16 2017 7:33 am Love the sence of Song Seung Heon in hospital suit wandering around the street lol That's SSH who can perfectly fit in every role Love u from Monland

tim65 Oct 15 2017 11:44 pm goblin OCN's style, never disappointed. At first i thought this would be another goblin drama, but this one is totally different, since this is from ocn i don't expect to have any romance in this drama, which is fine by me, this is promising, can't wait for more.

crong Oct 15 2017 10:41 pm So cool! Love watching the first two episodes! Can wait to see more of it! ?☺ Love SSH❤

Novita Nuban Oct 15 2017 10:14 pm Daebaakkk.. This drama so amazing. ??? Fighting

Meow Oct 15 2017 10:27 am Woahhhh. I was waiting for this series for soo long. It was worth the wait. I literally got chills at the end of the ep. Can't waut for more :)

Miro Oct 14 2017 8:57 pm Korean filmmakers have prepared me premature Christmas presents. First Park Shi Hoo and now Song Seung-Heon. I'm really excited, I'm really delighted to be able to watch Song Seung-Heon again in a new drama. Just a pity he does not have more episodes, so at least 50 :) ... Thank you .....

Dreamhigh Oct 12 2017 7:57 pm Can't wait to see SSH, love him so much and never missed his dramas or movies

Imelda S. Valle Oct 10 2017 8:31 pm It's great to watch a great actor like Song Seung Heon... my last was Saimdang... I am so excited to see you soon!!!

Anticipating Aug 25 2017 11:53 pm The trailer looks so cool

Grim Reaper Aug 10 2017 1:19 am go ara looks like she is about to cry in the script reading XD

John Aug 06 2017 1:24 pm sounds like goblin

beng espinosa Jul 29 2017 7:52 pm so excited already to see this. hope today is already october 2017. Miss you song seung heon

Karen Bee Jul 26 2017 8:15 pm Song Seung Heon!!! Great actor! Can't wait!!!

black sheep Jul 25 2017 10:10 pm I am really excited for this!! really miss Go Ara after Hwarang. Don't give a damn about her haters.. They are just jealous! God will protect and bless those who are kind and humble, so whatever the evil haters do they will never win. More projects to come Ara shiii!!!

Er Jul 25 2017 7:57 pm bla bla ofc there needs to be a chemistry hello!? falling in love is the reason why he became a grim reaper.

Ada Jul 23 2017 11:50 am I heard that Kim Dong Jun will appear in this drama - it's the only one purpose whick make me watch it.

Re Jul 23 2017 4:36 am bla bla bla too old, bla bla bla chemistry lmao you must be new to OCN dramas (well, most of them)

^)

JP Jul 16 2017 1:32 am I hope people will not hate Go Ara's acting due to Hwarang, Hwarang was a badly written drama. Her performance in reply 1994 was very very good

Grim Reaper Jul 12 2017 3:35 am How can these two have chemistry, the drama isn't airing yet and both parties from different sides are already arguing!!!!!!!! grow up will ya, I think they will make a perfect couple

blackie Jul 11 2017 12:04 am both of them suit each other! pdnim please take good care of these two and don't ruin their character again like their previous dramas. go ara is lovely and fun to watch, just please lessen the crying scenes on this one. as for song seung yeon, I hope he improve! it's not too late to improve

akairi97 Jul 10 2017 8:34 pm Paris@ WOW, you think Song Seung -Heon is too old and doesn't deserve to be partnered with Go Ara? I dont think your old enough to watch this Drama. I can give you some websites of some cartoons for you to watch

Paris Jul 09 2017 6:47 pm Boi Song Seung Heon is hella old! Omg the beautiful Go Ara deserves better. I can't imagine there'll be any chemistry between them. Ugh I'm disappointed but I'll still watch it because I love Go Ara and I've been waiting for her to do another drama.

K Jul 02 2017 11:17 pm @booboo if any drama has a grim reaper does it mean it is another ver. of Goblin?? get a fetch of the drama first then if it was like goblin I'll agree with you:)

booboo Jul 02 2017 4:28 pm The plot sounds boring . Another version of goblin.

Mani Jun 30 2017 10:16 pm Song seung heon is the best actor Ga ara is good actrees I cant wait for this drama Oh god i love ssh as grim reaper

Roy Jun 29 2017 4:17 pm summary of the comments: 1. I dont like Go Ara 2. I dont like Seung Heon 3. I love Seung Heon I dont like Go Ara 4. Perfect match 5. I love Go Ara I dont like Seung Heon 6. Another drama about grim reaper

Kpopper01 Jun 29 2017 9:05 am When I read "Grim Reaper" I immediately thought of Lee Dong Wook xD xD Anyway, I can't wait to see Song Seung Hoon in this new drama (loved him in Saimdang) <3

Lady Jun 28 2017 11:43 pm I love song seung heon. He is a great actor ..he is so handsome..i can't wait for his new drama but go ara is not my fav actrees i think it's better they change actrees...but I support this drama & hope become successful

SeriousGuy Jun 10 2017 3:36 am @daum i sense sarcasm lol :P you must also like yoochun and shin se kyung

daum Jun 10 2017 1:54 am now this is a perfect match! hope both of them accepts.

한아나나나 Jun 09 2017 11:07 am I love Go Ara, but not Song Seunheon.. I hope they'll cast another male lead~

Black Jun 08 2017 7:56 pm Please accept role seung heon and go ara <333

No hwarang Jun 08 2017 6:28 pm Go ara is a good actress please dont judge her acting only because of hwarang. The director totally messed her up in there :(

F Jun 08 2017 10:01 am Hope Song Seung Heon and Kim Tae Hee wiil reunited in this drama. After My princess drama.

Jenny Park Jun 08 2017 3:00 am I really dont like Go Ara. I hope she will decline the offer. I would really love to see Seung Heon again.

mar Jun 08 2017 12:56 am i really love go ara she is so pretty but please change the male lead he is too old for her
