Black: Review
Black is a detective possessed by the Grim Reaper. In the process, he uncovers the truth about a series of cold-case murders from 20 years ago. Investigating the murders complicates the reaper’s primary role of guiding the deceased to their respective afterlife, especially after he falls in love with a mortal woman (Ha-ram). Ha-ram can see the shadows of death. She initially is drawn to the detective (before his body possessed) since he tries to help her prevent death using her premonition skills. She also unknowingly keeps a videotape revealing one of the masterminds behind the crimes and serial murder of the series. Her supernatural abilities and broken childhood kept her socially isolated and caused her to be easily misled. These two struggle to save the lives of people, breaking the supernatural rules of heaven. In short, Black is searching for his partner who ran away when he went to take the souls of dead people through the body of Han Moo-gang. His partner is an ex-human who committed suicide and ended up to be a grim reaper. In the middle of seeking, Black meets Kang Ha-ram. Kang Ha-ram assumes that Han Moo-gang (who is possessed by Black) is Kim Joon’s first love. Ha-ram, who had supernatural skills, is being used by Black to search for his partner, but what actually happen is that Black is asked by Ha-ram to prevent people from dying. During his search, Black faces to various death case related to an incident from 20 years ago, until Black finds out who he actually is and what happened to him until he became a grim reaper. For the sake of his love for Ha-ram, he’s willing to accept the punishment so that Ha-ram can live happily. Watch the trailer here!
