MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Black Out' (hereinafter 'Snow White'), which aired on the 16th, opened a backtracking crime thriller to find memories that disappeared by depicting the change of Ko Jung-woo (by Byun Yo-han), whose life was completely ruined by a murder without a body.
Snow White', which opened with a murder case that heated up the village, sheds light on the miserable life of Ko Jung-woo, who was identified as the killer who killed two friends. Not only were there feuds with missing Shim Bo-young (Jang Ha-eun) and Park Da-eun (Han So-eun), but all circumstances pointed to Ko as the culprit, including blood stains found in the trunk of Ko's car and testimonies from people who were with the two last night.
However, there was no memory left in Ko's head after drinking and getting drunk, and the police, who considered him the culprit, pushed Ko. Ko Jung-woo, who was sentenced to prison for murder when no one believed in him, was gradually devastated and his life turned gray.
As he could not find the memory of murder or innocence, Ko Jung-woo returned to his hometown, where he missed after 10 years in prison, and where all cases began. However, Ko Jung-woo, who returned to the village, was despised and persecuted by the villagers, including Shim Dong-min (Cho Jae-yoon), the father of Shim Bo-young, who died, causing bitterness. Hyun Gu-tak (Kwon Hae-hyo), a friend of his late father, gave a helping hand but told him to leave the village, making Ko Jung-woo complicated.
Even his mother (Kim Mi-kyung), who never visited him while in prison, pushed Ko Jung-woo hard and told him to leave the village, leaving a scar deep in his heart. Ko Jung-woo, who was told by his mother who decided to live by paying for his son's sins instead, even if his mother died, decided to go to Seoul for his mother after much thought.
In the midst of this, Ko Jung-woo's mother, who was going grocery shopping, suddenly fell from the overpass, surprising viewers. The shock of the accident doubled because he silently endured the sins of his son who became a murderer. I'm curious about the whole story, whether someone talked about Ko Jung-woo's mother from above or whether it was an unsavory accident that happened to her mother who couldn't take the burden off her mind.
In this way, 'Snow White' quickly unraveled the story of Ko Jung-woo, who was identified as a murder suspect, over 10 years from before he was imprisoned to after he was released from prison, giving him a sense of immersion that he could not take his eyes off. Although he does not remember killing, Ko Jung-woo's confused psychology, which was designated as the killer, made viewers doubt the whole situation and stimulated their intuition of reasoning.
Actor Byun Yo-han's performance, which depicts the 10 years given to Ko Jung-woo without any sense of incompatibility, drew admiration. The villagers also filled the play with a heavy presence, including Ko Jun as a detective Sangchul No, Ko Bo-yeol as a top star Choi Na-gyeom, and Kim Bo-ra as a stranger Ha Seol. On top of that, director Byun Young-joo's unique sensual direction was combined, giving a foreboding to the birth of a well-made truth-tracking play with a harmonious combination of acting, directing, and story. Therefore, expectations are high for the next story of 'Snow White', which left a strong impression from the first broadcast.
