Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

When Ko Jung-Woo (Byun Yo-Han) was 19 years old, he was a high school student in Muchon Twon and about to enter a prestigious medical school. But, Ko Jung-Woo was arrested for murdering two female classmates. Ko Jung-Woo could not remember if he committed the murders or not and the dead bodies were never found. After serving 10 years in prison, Ko Jung-Woo returns to his hometown. He decides to leave the area for good and start a new life, but a series of strange things happen around him. He is unable to leave because of this. Somehow, Ko Jung-Woo gets involved with Detective No Sang-Cheol (Ko Jun) and they try to uncover the truth of what happened on the day when the two girls were murdered. No Sang-Cheol was an elite detective, who graduated at the top of the police university. But, on his wedding, his bride was brutally murdered. His life completely changed afterwards and his career was ruined. He was then demoted to the police station in Muchon Town. Due to an incident, he begins to reinvestigate Ko Jung-Woo’s case.

Meanwhile Choi Na-Kyeom (Go Bo-Gyeol) was Ko Jung-Woo’s high school classmate. She has had a crush on him for a long time and she devotedly supported him while he was in prison. Since his release, she dreams of having a happy life with him.

Ha Seol (Kim Bo-Ra) took a leave of absence from medical school. She traveled all around the country on a scooter and she happened to stop at Muchon Town. She ended up staying there, while doing part time work at a restaurant.

Notes

"Black Out" takes over MBC's Fri & Sat 21:50 time slot previously occupied by "The Pork Cutlets" and followed by "Doubt" on October 11, 2024.
Based on novel "Snow White Must Die" by German writer Nele Neuhaus (published 2010).
Ep.10 will air Friday, September 20, 2024 instead of original time slot on Saturday, September 15, 2024. The delay is due to the Korean Chuseok holiday that starts on the weekend of September 15th.

Comments

DramaRama Aug 26 2025 3:54 pm my blood boils from watching this series. what a bull***t characters!

Hana Kimi Jul 18 2025 9:28 am My conclusion for this drama: Go Jung Woo is like a Snow White prince surrounded by an evil and jealous king and his army. He and his family were betrayed and framed by the people they trusted the most. No Sang Cheol (the detective) and Ha Seol are the ones who helped him escape the dark forest, like knights in shining armor. 9/10

Hana Kimi Jul 18 2025 8:49 am This drama is so good, and the plot twists are truly mind-blowing! 9/10 for me! It’s a 9 because they didn’t show how the villain got punished. Because of jealousy and greed, the people you trust and love the most can betray and frame you! It’s so sad to see Go Jung Woo and his family suffer such a painful fate and memories. And I really hate the short detective (Hee Do) — his character only knows how to scream. I honestly want to slap him a thousand times! Such an incompetent police officer.

Nknk Jul 15 2025 11:27 am I really like this drama. It has a good storyline, powerful acting, and most importantly, unpredictable plot twists. I guess we can’t always trust IMDb rating, i was hesitant to watch it at first, but this drama clearly deserves a much higher score!

King Pup 1722 May 28 2025 10:23 am Black Out is a drama that doesn’t rush, but instead lets its story unfold like a slow-burning fire. The show starts with Goh Jeong-woo, a once-promising medical student whose life is shattered after he wakes up from a night of drinking with no memory, only to be accused of a murder he can’t remember. Ten years in prison later, he returns to his hometown, where everyone still sees him as a murderer. The series isn’t about big action or flashy twists. It’s about suspicion, regret, and the way a small town can turn on one of its own.

The acting is solid throughout. Byun Yo Han does a good job as Jeong-woo, looking lost and worn down, but never giving up on finding the truth. Go Bo Gyeol’s Choi Na-gyeom is more than just a loyal friend, she’s the kind of person who quietly stands by Jeong-woo even when everyone else turns away. Her loyalty is touching, but as the story goes on, you start to see another side of her. Na-gyeom’s feelings for Jeong-woo run deep, and her actions sometimes cross the line between support and obsession. This adds tension and makes her a character you can’t easily figure out.

Ha Seol, played by Kim Bo Ra, is a newcomer to the village who works at a local restaurant. She seems like an outsider at first, but as the mystery deepens, she becomes a key part of Jeong-woo’s search for the truth. Ha Seol’s calm presence and sharp instincts help Jeong-woo and Detective Noh uncover secrets that others want to keep buried. She’s not just there for background, her role grows as the story goes on, and she’s one of the few who sees Jeong-woo for who he really is.

What stands out is the atmosphere. The town feels closed in, everyone watching everyone else, secrets hiding behind every polite smile. The show takes its time revealing what really happened that night, dropping clues and letting you guess along with Jeong-woo and Detective Noh. It’s not a show that gives easy answers, and it doesn’t paint anyone as purely good or bad. Even the “villains” have their reasons.

Some viewers might find the pacing slow, especially in the middle episodes, but if you stick with it, the payoff is worth it. The ending ties things up in a way that feels earned, not forced. Black Out isn’t flashy, but it’s quietly gripping. A strong pick if you like mysteries with real emotion and characters who feel like people you might actually meet. Recommended if you don’t mind a slow boiler!

looki May 27 2025 7:24 am i find myself fast forwarding so much. damn i cannot stand how the characters r so hierarchical in the young & old way,so hierarchical in their ranks. it ripples through how annoying they talk and shows how prideful they are. i jst wanna find out who the killers are man, not watch through petty behaviors.But kuddos to the actors who really nailed the characters, bcs man most of them r annoying, its like the whole time they needed someone to blame..thy r really good at acting as annoying human beings??

Xi Apr 05 2025 12:23 am The genre is crime/ thriller. Why it feels like melodrama lol

Miss Ma Nov 21 2024 11:05 am Ko Jung Woo, he is "Snow White", surrounded by evil queens. However, the detective and the brave girl appeared from the dark forest, helped him, and together, they came out of the darkness. What a tragic and bittersweet story. But, really recommended.

CritiQueen Nov 01 2024 10:26 am I simply love how the story unfolds. I rate this 8.5/10

papa Oct 30 2024 9:06 pm this is so good!!! can we just appreciate the character of gun oh!! i think he is the best hereee!! i love how the story kept on unraveling!! 11/10

gManson Oct 30 2024 6:18 am I just finished episode 5. The story is dragging.. when does it get better?

Mr.Brightside Oct 20 2024 7:04 am Full of twist and plot. Very episode is exciting and thrilling and makes you eager to watch the next episode. 100% Recommended!

Kae Oct 19 2024 2:16 am This genre is literally my kind of series. I am so pumped when i started watching this and it does not dissappoint. If i have to nitpick, i wish they caught Sang Cheol's future wife murderer.

Greenata Oct 10 2024 3:53 pm Verrrrrryyy recommended

Anita Mullins Brown Oct 05 2024 5:49 pm This was a perfect drama. Deep plots, mysteries, and fantastic study of the human condition without the immodesty and profanity. I will watch it again as it is a perfect classic that will stand the test of time. Great study.

GoodEnding?Nooo Oct 05 2024 9:30 am Jung-Woo remained naive until the very end. None of this tragedies would have happened if he hadn’t been so obsessed with his love for Da-eun, completely disregarding the friends around him.

You're still missing and in love with Da-eun? Seriously, dude? She cheated and slept with another man! Her death was the karma she deserved. Just mentioning Geon-oh and Bo-Young (two loyal friends) would have been enough.

littlepinky Oct 05 2024 6:00 am Commendable for Sequel 2 please

Queen Oct 05 2024 5:10 am There's no way am going to re-watch with drama. Am traumatised.. It was really sad and above all, terrifying

Looki Oct 05 2024 12:49 am Dumb dumb dumb... from 16 to 14 episodes because its dumd dumd..8 would have enough if they cut the scenes like 14.

Vhtd Oct 04 2024 8:12 pm Byun yo Han charecterz in this drama does not stood out at all. Others actors shine in this drama more than him. !!

0w0 Oct 04 2024 8:08 pm The main character is so unlucky like.. he spent 10 years for nothing? No compensation explained, and how did he be so naive to forgive everyone easily..

ZeroOo Oct 04 2024 2:47 pm After the ending, I can give this drama 9.9/10, Satisfying story, good ending, what else u want other than that

CARMELA Sep 30 2024 7:52 am I Do Not Understand How Ko Jung-Woo OR Byun Yo, be so dumm dumm, knowing that all the people wants to do bad things to him, he goes after that guy, and trying to save him, OMG he will be blame with his record, he should have had someone with him, running with the bag full of money...it was so dum, hope he can come out of this one because he is acting without thinking....even drinking the alcohol with his enemy that was dum too, for all those years haven he got a little inteligent, and what about the father asking for his help to save his son they are all guilty...omg and what about the son with the body of the girl--that is so crazy...

Neta Sep 29 2024 2:45 pm Hulu just line up 8 more episodes starting in October,8 with a total of 16 episodes. For some stupid reason Hulu stopped on episode 8 in the beginning of September. I am confused if there will be 14 or 16 episodes.

May Sep 29 2024 12:00 pm Can't wait last episode. I want to know No Sang-Cheol can save Ko Jung Woo or not. Not be sad ending!

Fearless Sep 29 2024 11:47 am I just got notified of this awesome drama and honestly, it is so binge-worthy. Patiently awaiting the last episode. One aspect of this movie that got me strung on apart from it being a thriller crime trope is the bromance between the two leads... lol... the moment Detective Noh took Goh jeong woo to his house, I already knew we are almost writing a Bl trope.. lol... Nice bromance between them and cool chemistry with the rest of the cast. I, for one ship the detective and Goh Jeong woo...lol.. my opinion.

That Na gyeom ssi... she is just ugh!!

littlepinky Sep 29 2024 6:54 am cant wait for last episode, huh

Queen Sep 29 2024 3:22 am This is one of the most terrifying drama I've ever watched. How can a whole village gang up on one family? Why? Because they were jealous of them? That's terrifying to think that people are really like that. This is true that not everyone who smiles with you is happy for you. The fathers and the kids are all despicable.

Shiera Sep 28 2024 11:43 pm Overall I like this drama.Detective Kim Hee Do who works under Hyun Koon Tak was so annoying.He always said Ko Jung Woo guilty without any proof.Poor Ko Jung Woo. I was scared to be friend with people who jealousy with you and your family.

riezatha Sep 28 2024 12:14 pm OMG!! I love this drama so much..love the male lead and the chemistry between him and Detective who always supports him..this is the best drama for this entire year..me and my hubby always wait for the next episode and it always surprises us in each episode..and I become one of Byun Yo Han's fan now..haha..

littlepinky Sep 28 2024 6:09 am superb casts.... i like the chemistry of Bmain lead wd ko jun and support casts.. more projects for them

. Sep 28 2024 4:44 am i'm glad i didn't drop it halfway, it keeps getting better

haru2127 Sep 27 2024 7:17 am this drama is one if the best I watched this year. The male lead and his partner investigator is so good that they made this drama worth watching.

Abbie Sep 25 2024 11:04 pm Can't believe this drama is not getting enough attention. This is so good. I usually skip some scenes and abuse the forward button for some boring episodes, but for this one, there are non. I am always on the edge. So love this drama especially the main lead.

Fizzy Sep 24 2024 5:51 pm Choi Na Kyeom and Yang Byeong Moo and the nurse guy are the most evil people in this drama including the Chief Police. Like especially the Chief Police and Choi Na Kyeom (Deok Mi), and I will tell you the reason why. The latter watched the so-called person she claims to love go to jail when he was innocent and didn't say anything for over a decade, if that's not evil then I don't know what is. The chief Police on the other hand prosecuted his best friend's innocent son due to jealousy and inferiority complex. I will also come for the villagers especially the culprits fathers who singlehandedly ruined an innocent boy's life and sucked the youthfulness out of him, even after he served jail time they were still pointing accusing fingers at him. All of them are evil, his friends too that are the culprits went on to achieve their dreams, i just feel so sad for the ML.

Sushi87 Sep 23 2024 9:25 pm This one of the best dramas this year. All the ahjussis take the acting awards! From chief of police to the dads. I have so much respect for them.

Male lead chooses his projects wisely. Misaeng, Mr Sunshine. This drama elevated him to another level.

Kudos to the writers, directors nims.

neo Sep 23 2024 8:01 pm this drama is really good. we have known the killers weeks ago but there's still much excitement in finding the whole truth and how the present will end for all key characters.

It is also good that they seem to have made a lot of changes from the source novel so reading spoilers from those who have read the book did not really affected the thrill and suspense in the drama.

Anita Mullins Brown Sep 21 2024 5:41 pm Black Out drama is exactly why I love Korean drama: Perfect storyline, multiple mysteries slowly unfolding, true professional casting, and clear moral and ethical lessons that take a lifetime to learn. This drama is a wonderful lesson on respect for the Creator and Humanity. Black Out is going to become a true classic worth repeating for years to come. God help Korea bring all the more quality like this drama. Congratulations Korea for a masterpiece.

Zszs Sep 21 2024 5:11 pm I think Ha Seol will be in danger because Na Gyeom has crazy jealousy over Jeong Woo. Hmm, let's see.

Farnazkorkchi Sep 21 2024 3:33 pm I really love it.it keeps you In the dark...the story is tragic Though...great acting...especially the part that the chief's son Commited the suicide.....the pain he was carrying was shown really professionally.....I cried ?

John Sep 21 2024 8:27 am One of the most Korean movies I love, very interesting and can’t wait for the remaining episodes

Byun Yo Han Kim Bora Sep 21 2024 12:32 am Can't wait for the rest episodes.. Thank you directornim, writernim, the novel's writer, the actors, the actress for delivering such a good story.. Hope this drama get more good ratings, 2digits ratings. ?

Zszs Sep 20 2024 5:33 pm Omg, I ship Jeong Woo and Ha Seol so badly!!!! So sweet

An Sep 18 2024 12:34 pm I started watching the drama because of Yohan but I start to like the detective haha

Yohan lovers Sep 16 2024 9:27 am I would like to see more Yohan in the future, he's truly an actor, he portrait Tobias outstandingly.... I've been anticipated him since Mr Sunshine and spontanuously in love with him. Great!!!

Bb Sep 15 2024 3:39 pm Nice one

Kdrama lover Sep 15 2024 10:06 am This is superb.. Thanks everyone who involves in bringing this drama to world.

neo Sep 15 2024 4:44 am @Monster

No ep10 for this week.

Reason given: Moon festival (Chuseok)

Monster Sep 14 2024 11:31 pm Where episodes 10 black out I wait so long you guys update where episodes 10

Mystery Sep 14 2024 2:14 pm I like the drama and the story even it's sad story if it is occur in real life.. I like the acting and especially male lead actor

May Sep 14 2024 9:37 am Waiting for weekend is too long. I want to know how to end Yang Byeong-Moo and Shin Min-Soo. They are shameful.

marjon abarquez cueva Sep 13 2024 5:52 pm cant wait for the remaining episodes huhuhu.... i like this series so much...

Highest Sep 12 2024 7:37 pm Byun yo han it's your time Fighting!!

Louise MacDonald Sep 09 2024 1:24 pm This is so interesting….riveting…so disappointing that I have to wait for remaining episodes????

Sabrin Sep 08 2024 4:44 pm I’ve watched this drama only for Byun Yohan because he’s one of my favorite actors but somehow it’s getting dragging out. You already know after few episodes who the real culprit is but the writer keeps adding new dramatic scenes even though it’s not necessary. The protagonist, Jungwoo, is very hopeless. He’s not really looking for the evidences because all evidences are coming to him, and he’s acting like he did a lot? How’s even the mother? There isn’t even scenes with her anymore. I hope they will not drag everything

Ceria Sep 08 2024 1:02 am just to find the truth the storyline is so slow and boring

Ebunoluwa Sep 07 2024 5:57 pm So disappointed in Shin Min-Soo nd Yang Byeong-Moo only su-oh can witness all of it

Shay Sep 07 2024 4:42 pm My blood is boiling because of how there is corruption in the police station. but i am glad the chief got what he deserved.

rocky yan Sep 07 2024 4:32 pm Ko Jun truly shines in this drama, and his acting is nothing short of exceptional. His portrayal of the detective is both compelling and nuanced, making the character feel very real and relatable. What really stood out to me was the way he uses his voice—it's powerful, yet subtle, adding an extra layer of intensity to his performance. His expressions and timing are spot-on, capturing both the seriousness and complexity of the role. Beyond his individual performance, the drama itself is incredibly well-crafted, with a gripping storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The pacing, direction, and character development are all top-notch, making it one of the most enjoyable dramas I've watched recently. I would highly recommend this drama to anyone looking for a mix of mystery, suspense, and top-tier acting. It’s a must-watch!

lily Sep 06 2024 7:56 pm this series is number 1 kdrama i like the most . i am detective kdrama hardcore fan. only watch crime series . this series worth to watch

Mymarylee Sep 06 2024 1:14 pm Am seriously angry right now..... To tink that all d villagers were in it together... I hope they will spend a million years in prison

mobsbee Sep 06 2024 10:38 am It's just so sad to think about Jungwoo's family and Boyoung's death huhuhu

Ei Zune Sep 04 2024 10:37 pm What a plot twist. Best crime series of the year !

MLJ Sep 01 2024 1:23 am @future your post gave a some peace cause I was gradually getting angry at everyone in town including the dogs.

Kim Aug 31 2024 6:44 pm I’m thinking the actress friend killed or at least knows something. The doctor seems to have killed one of them and I think there’s someone who knows-Suho maybe is the one texting him-(I also wonder if Da Heun is still alive and looking to get revenge on the doctor).

Telay Aug 31 2024 3:13 pm I can't wait for more episodes!!! At this point, it's obvious who the culprits are but the story might change since there's still 8 more episodes to come! Hopefully Jung Woo will get the justice he deserves! Knowing he suffered so much in prison for 10 years is just so unfair and unjust! Go Jung woo!!!!!!!!!

Shay Aug 31 2024 10:34 am I think jeong woo'd friends knew what happened but pinned it on him Some say su-oh might be pretending but I think the guy who seems like su-oh who appeared on ep 5 might be su-oh's twin brother I think the chief of police is suspicious because he doesn't want the case to be reopened The girl who's interested in jeong woo the one that used to visit him in jail is suspicious too cz she's been in love with him but he hasn't noticed her feelings or he's ignoring her feelings that might have made her jealous of daeun and boyeong Jeong woos friends are evil too bcz how comes they never visited him in prison and if someone was your friend wouldn't you try to lie to the police for him I think da eun was dating the congresswoman's husband he seems like he likes young ladies Also su-oh is a witness because he draws pictures of the scene

Fizzy Aug 31 2024 5:22 am This drama is so crazy!!! I suspect everyone except the ML. From Su oh who seems like he's pretending to be insane, to the wannabe girlfriend that keeps clinging to the ML, to the Assembly woman and her husband, everybody. And I know the murderer lives with them

Angela Henderson Aug 29 2024 7:55 pm The US version seems to have a lot of cut scenes from the original and that's not good. It's on Hulu USA and on the 1st episode things shown are confusing. I would like to know why the US version has scenes cut. It's making the whole series so far confusing because a lot seems to be missing. I read a recap of the 1st episode after I just watched it and many of the things mentioned in the recap just didn't happen in the US hulu version. Why even show it if not the full episodes??

B00 Aug 29 2024 3:45 am Like why would he touch her back bag and everything how dumb

Pamzit Aug 28 2024 7:51 am I have 4 suspects, 1 1, actress wanna be girlfriend 2, Su-ho 3, Doctor-congresswoman husband 4, the male nurse and cop know what led Bunyoo to that horrifying death!

Chief is covering up his son whereas he didn't even try to protect his friend's son.

I have a feeling they'll kill someone else and try to pin it on Jung-woo just to get rid of how scandalous the truth will be to their lives. And the perpetrator will be the congresswoman because she is scared of scandals even though she knows her husband is a pervert!

All the way from South Africa... For the love of Kdrama's

Peggy Aug 27 2024 9:44 pm Am sure su.o is pretending to be sick and might be the murderer

Zipporah Aug 25 2024 4:07 am I'm Sure the police chief, doctor,congress man knows something...and I'm also sure suno witness the killing

Moiselle Aug 25 2024 3:08 am I am from Canada ??, and you can watch this on Bilibili.

neo Aug 24 2024 6:46 pm One is certain after 4 episodes: 1. The ML is innocent, at least for one of the 2 murders 2. The chief and his son were involved directly or indirectly 3. The medical doctor/husband of assemblywoman was involved

Not yet certain but likely 4. The actress/model who is infatuated with ML is involved

Not certain but possible 5. Male classmates (nurse and cop) were involved directly or indirectly 6. There are more than one culprits because the two cases are separate but happened on the same time

Fizzy Aug 24 2024 6:26 pm This Drama gives me Longing For You vibes and Connection vibes, I am so suspicious of everyone especially the Chief Police officer, his son, the Assembly Woman and her Medical Doctor hospital... Including the victim's mother considering the recent episode. So in my opinion everyone is guilty lol except the ML

Mymarylee Aug 24 2024 12:24 pm But I am 100% sure Su-O and his father has something to do with the death of those girls.... Finger crossed tho

Mymarylee Aug 24 2024 12:21 pm This drama is just like Connection whereby we are suspicious of everyone tbh

Ky Aug 24 2024 10:58 am I think park da eun is snow white

Lalala Aug 23 2024 8:00 pm I'm used to bae jongok and Kwon haehyo play villainous roles but IDK everyone here is so suspicious

neo Aug 23 2024 12:49 pm @Bloom

The missing/dead gf

neo Aug 23 2024 12:47 pm Choi, the ML's classmate who is now a celebrity and infatuated with him, is very likely to have something to do with the crime. She's guilty so he has been supporting the ML.

Blooms Aug 23 2024 10:46 am Who is Snow White here? The assemblywoman hasn't appeared yet~

Chingu Aug 21 2024 3:57 am The first two episodes is so heartbreaking ??

Hohphp Aug 20 2024 4:46 pm Hyun su is the killer!!! Let's see

Hohihu Aug 20 2024 4:45 pm Lee Ga sub must be the killer! Usually the story is like this. Hmm But quite interesting

Mi mi mi Aug 20 2024 2:51 pm I am looking forward to having my mind turned upside down and tears cause in episode 1 I already have a long list of people I hate already. 12 more episodes to go xoxo fighting

Yongi Aug 20 2024 10:30 am Just finished 2 eps and it's sooooo gooodddd. I hope they got better rating tho :((

ByeongHo Aug 20 2024 9:43 am I have read the novel this drama was based on. And people, if they makers of this drama are going to follow the novel for majority of it then don't trust anyone else except for just two people. I will let your imaginations do the deduction.

Fizzy Aug 19 2024 6:14 pm Hmmmmm! I suspect Han Su Oh, he is either the suspect or the killer...but what I am sure of is that he was there that night the incident happened, because he drew and painted the whole scene. And I think his Detective father is aware, then when I saw the Assembly woman's picture, she was the same person in the drama Longing For You, so I definitely don't trust her one bit. Fingers crossed though, let's just keep watching...just wanted to share my two cents! Then the ML's mother could have actually done better, she never visited her son throughout his 10 years stay in prison. Phew! And sth smells fishy in that community, they never found the bodies of any of the girls, and even the accused and convicted person blacked out and couldn't remember a thing about the incident. I am SAT!!!

Sansa Aug 19 2024 8:59 am I bet the killer was his cousin and his uncle who made him black out

Vnril Aug 19 2024 2:49 am I think sun o is witness And sun o dad so sus

Poseur Aug 18 2024 6:28 am Stating the obvious, the assemblywoman and the detective uncle is involved

Blooms Aug 17 2024 10:52 am Hyun Gu Tak and his son, they are very suspicious (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)

Neighbors in Mucheon Garden too~

Jennysain Aug 16 2024 10:30 pm Congrasts Team Blackout, Bogyeol❤ Yohan

Jennysain Aug 16 2024 10:21 pm Like this Drama Love the Chemistry of Yohan and Bigyeol. Fighting Team Blackout

Fullheart5. Aug 03 2024 8:55 am Kim Mi-Kyung (1963) And Ahn Nae-Sang, got to watch this. These are two of my favorite character actors.

Joan of Arc Aug 02 2024 3:18 am More like Save Me & Hometown vibe

An_Narcissist Jul 11 2024 2:37 am The plot reminds me of Beyond Evil
