October 15th, 2017 at 2:13 pm
Awesome! Always enjoy Song Seung Hun as the actor.
First episode is pretty interesting.
October 16th, 2017 at 8:29 am
no doubt from the 9 new kdrama that started this week this is my no.1 favorite in the list, until now everything is a puzzle you cannot just solve the pieces of it unless you watch the whole story up to the last episode, i like how they make it more suspense and mysterious that you cannot predict the next scene and it gives me more thrilling excitement, with a little bit of comedy from grim reaper.
October 16th, 2017 at 10:24 pm
OMB!
SSH is super fit in any role waiting for him so long
The first two epi make me feel great impression about this drama
A must watch drama
October 17th, 2017 at 10:02 pm
Confusing but quite interesting
October 23rd, 2017 at 9:59 am
The insurance guy character must die.. useless & confusing & yet the grim reaper alone is enough.. the girl.. wt
October 24th, 2017 at 12:10 pm

October 24th, 2017 at 7:30 pm
Black is giving me some Shin Se-Gi (Kill me, Heal Me) vibes! I am loving this show.
October 25th, 2017 at 12:09 am

October 25th, 2017 at 10:47 pm

This draa is really worth watching. Fighting!
November 4th, 2017 at 4:32 am
This drama is underrated. It’s a must watch!!!!! The first 15mins of the first episode got me hook! Every scene is thrilling and unpredictable. Seo seung hoon is daebak!!!! I really love his acting here. It’s worth the wait! Aja aja aja!!!!
November 4th, 2017 at 9:58 am
I really like this drama. Its story is very interesting and complicated and every character has their own important roles.
I’ve just known that Black’s jagga-nim is same as with Iljimae’s. OMG… do you know? Iljimae is the best drama I’ve ever watched. I watched it for a thousand times and still cried so much.
When I knew Black is Choi Ran jagga-nim’s drama, I love it much much more.
Choi Ran-ssi fighting!!!
November 6th, 2017 at 4:31 pm
Why is this dram underrated?? Its so good and I always look forward to the next episodes. Its kinda weird for the first episodes but let me tell you this is my new fave k-drama!! β₯
November 9th, 2017 at 1:06 pm
Song Seung Hun – me still find him weird acting funny… he is quite “stiff” ha ha
November 13th, 2017 at 2:26 pm
Who does the part of Grim Reaper 444 before he enters the detective’s body?
He was great? Any one know?
November 16th, 2017 at 1:17 pm
Kim Dong Joon (Kim Dong Jun) ssi really looks like actress Han Ga In in male version. ha ha π
November 16th, 2017 at 7:49 pm
I love this drama…. so excited ..can’t wait for next eps…
November 16th, 2017 at 9:33 pm
this drama is more about search of criminals than of romance and melodrama … i like it. action, detective storyline and about 20% for lovestory
November 18th, 2017 at 7:02 am
Love β€οΈ this drama super can’t wait for the next episode π
November 19th, 2017 at 7:33 pm
This is one of the best dramas for this year. Great acting by Ara and Seung Heon. Kudos to the scriptwriter who write such an interesting storyline. Every episode just keep unfolding and new information surfaced.
I love how each character is being developed through the episodes… even the police detective (mad dog) had a story to play.
Good job!!!!
November 24th, 2017 at 12:35 pm
Go Ah Ra is simply terrible. Same expression on her face all the time. No chemistry with lead at all.
November 28th, 2017 at 9:36 am
im in the middle of 14 and its getting exciting every moment
December 1st, 2017 at 11:33 pm
Female lead is everywhere .. Manhole 2.0? best drama? nope .
December 4th, 2017 at 1:36 am
If only the lead actress is someone else, aighhhhh.
December 4th, 2017 at 4:39 pm
Too bad, I find Seung Hoon a bore compared to all the other great actors out there. Just his name makes me skip this drama despite me looking for a good drama now. Looking forward to 2 cops and Prison Lifeππ½
December 4th, 2017 at 11:27 pm
oppa SSH
I love u
U r very talented (from autumn tale – to black ) I am loving all of your work
December 5th, 2017 at 2:21 pm
i like this drama soo much….
December 5th, 2017 at 2:24 pm
this rating’s unbelievable for me. this is a geat drama, great story, great acting. i like it
December 6th, 2017 at 12:35 pm
I haven’t seen it yet but from the description it sounds like the Brad Pitt movie, Meet Joe Black, which I enjoyed. Now let’s see if BLACK is worth 18 hours of my precious time.
December 15th, 2017 at 12:16 am
Done watching BLACK β€ how i wish more moment with ha ram and Kim joon. episode 18 looks like they rush it, they should’ve add more 2 episode for ha ram and kim joon, but i like it. Fantasy and Suspense Thriller, sounds funny but it all started in VIDEOTAPE and the stories connected to Ha ram and Kim joon. The scripwriter is really genius, but i feel that the director decided to cut the other scene hahaha.. MUST WATCH GUYS BUT THIS IS RATED SPG Just like CHICAGO TYPEWRITER, THIS series more on serial killer.
December 18th, 2017 at 9:53 am
BAD ENDING.GOOD SCRIPT.I WISH FOR A GOOD END
December 21st, 2017 at 1:02 am
One of the best drama ever. If u like fantasy drama, this one would be in your top 5 list ππ»
Highly recommended. Other list would be:
– Man from another star

– Blood
– Master’s Sun
– W
– Big
– Goblin
– Queen In Hyuns Man
– Rooftop Prince
– Please Come Back Mister

And many more, i’m tired typing. Thank you π
December 21st, 2017 at 3:56 am
this drama is the best, make me feel more curious and hard to guess
December 21st, 2017 at 6:31 am
Great drama, tones of twists and turns, but way too much crying. (Lol)
Female lead role should have gone to someone else, too one dimensional.
The ending as others have stated is rushed. The beginning and ending of a story are just as important.
Watch it and you will enjoy but it comes with flaws.
Maybe 444 is supposed to be a play on 666. Not quite the devil but no saint either.
December 22nd, 2017 at 3:26 pm
where can i watch the 18 eps?
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:26 am
BORING DRAMA EVER!!
December 29th, 2017 at 12:45 am
OVERATED. So is Chicago typewhatever
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:48 pm
What is the title song and who sings it.
January 2nd, 2018 at 7:25 pm
ending will be better if they just make ha ram died and become a grim reaper herself, put her on a duo with 444 *lol
January 22nd, 2018 at 1:00 pm
I never comment before. but I am here just to say this Drama is master pieces.
February 20th, 2018 at 10:23 pm
Great series, but a seriously flawed ending — and it was doubly disappointing because the second-last episode was the best of the series. Saying Kim Joon’s never having existed would have changed Ha-Ram’s parents’ accident was ridiculous: he didn’t have anything to do with the accident. It’s like saying that if Abraham Lincoln had never been born, the Titanic wouldn’t have hit the iceberg.
I suppose someone thought getting Black and Ha-Ram together would make the fans happy, but whoever it was should have realized that fans expect a storyline to follow the show’s internal logic. Ha-Rams’ Reaper father was supposedly wiped out of existence because he’d killed a human despite having killed to save his wife’s life; Black deliberately killed humans and left a murderous fugitive on the loose, and yet he got a ‘fairy tale’ ending. The excuse seems to be that Black and Ha-Ram had to end up together because Joon was Ha-Ram’s ‘true love’ — but since when does anyone in their right mind think a six-year-old’s obsession qualifies as ‘true love’?
Long story short, Black could serve as an example of how to fall apart at the finish line. When you have to overturn the show’s internal logic and previous character set-ups to get your ‘ship to float, you’re doing it wrong. The ‘Reaper’ rules change; the Mall collapse — supposedly a core event — is resolved with a five-second TV interview; the doctor leaves her two young sons — one of whom has a potentially fatal heart condition — unsupervised for three days; Ha-Ram’s mother goes from ‘you evil creature’ to ‘You’re still watching over her, right, honey? — and the list just goes on.
I agree with the people who didn’t find Ha-Ram appealing, but to be fair, I don’t think it was the actor’s fault. There’s only so much any actor can do with what the writers give them, and what the writers gave her was a character who’d get five minutes of acting like an adult and then go right back to acting like a whiny kindergartener. In the end, that was what finished me on Joon and Ha-Ram as a couple: it was just too hard to believe even the teenaged boy Black was supposed to have changed back into when he regained his memory would fall so deeply in love with a six-year-old that he’d die for her.
Anyone who hasn’t watched this: just don’t watch the last episode and you’ll think it’s the greatest thing since hot buttered popcorn.

Entertaining until the 10 minutes. The ending was terrible… Sad.
March 8th, 2018 at 12:59 am
Entertaining until the last ten minutes of the series. The ending offered a terrible twist.
April 2nd, 2018 at 7:56 pm
Bagus banget drakornya… Rekom dech untuk ditonton para pecinta drakor… Go ah ra cantik dan sangat natural…
May 23rd, 2018 at 2:00 am

August 4th, 2020 at 12:58 pm
I just watched this drama and supprisingly it was real good. Do not quite understand the ending but Song Seung Hun was a great actor in this drama. It was exciting and romantic in many ways
