I find it's unfair for such good drama to be under the radar so much just because the kdrama fans aren't talking about this enough. The criticism about no originality in plot is ridiculous with so many kdrama out in a year, it's bound to have similarities and kdrama fans can catch up quick about who's who and feels like every characters are suspicious. Why singling out this drama.. To me I kept on watching because I want to know WHY the things happened the way it is, what went wrong in their relationship for it to be like that.

The statement that 'actor Byun Yohan acting saved this drama' is not a drag because any good drama/movie aren't made of just good scripts but most importantly good director and actors. I can name many drama with good acting scenes but still can't save the work because the scripts are bad.

Also seen criticism about him being student and adult instead of casting a younger actor, but to me it's not bothering me much since there are more mature looking teenager in real life. Although the twist are expected to me, but the overall story are thrilling and won't leave the viewers bore.

To be fair, this show is probably for people who may like (guess only) kdrama shows similar to : Miraculous Brothers, Longing for you, Flowers of Evil,. Kidnapping Day, Let's get grab by the Collar.

Structure wise, it's not tight at all. First episode is solid. Then all seems to be on autopilot and went downhill with over the top melodrama, empty threats and rhetorical questions.

A classic innocent man story, that adds characters half way through the story ... and then some. To me that's cheating. The conspiracy seems all too obvious and yet overwhelmingly ..... what's the word..... ridiculous.

Just way too thin, substance that is. So thin that there's constant flashy backs and plot replays/reminders at episode beginnings. I just finished The Frog and so much more unique, creative and well written on all fronts : characters, plot, timeline and meaning.

Thin, when compare to (plot, execution, direction) other kdramas the likes of Somebody, Beyond Evil, Mask girl, Shadow Detective, Mouse, A shop for Killers, A Killer Paradox.

Overall, it's a melodrama disguised as a thriller.

Only saving grace is acting, that's it.

Korean Drama '' Black Out '' or '' Snow White Must Die '' is a crime mystery drama about a man's quest to find the truth.

The drama is thrilling from start to end, with many twists and many layers of the mystery that keep things interesting and fresh.

In addition, the characters were also interesting, though some of them were too much of stereotypes, especially the 'bad guys'.

Still, the puzzle was well crafted and the result unpredictable.

Finally, the performances were all great by all the actors and actresses of the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten for the drama '' Death to snow white ''.

This series was a lot more interesting at the beginning when you are left wondering who killed the 2 girls.

Once they slowly give answers, between numerous scenes of the main character looking really really sad, that is when they started to lose me.

Not only because the series was dragging it out. Also because apparantly to stop people from guessing who the real murderer is, they thought up one of the more convulated and unrealistic explanations I have seen. It made no sense whatsoever.

I almost gave this series a 6. But they did keep me interested enough to keep watching, although I was seriously wishing for it to end by episode 9 or 10.

Acting wise and the production values are also ok. My main gripe is with the resolution of the story and the very slow pace. So a low 7.

I only occasionally watch kdrama series because I know it can be extremely unrealistic & overly dramatic. But I just went ahead to give it a chance by watching the first episode....

The whole cast got me hooked. The screenplay, editing & camera work was intricate & excellent. It was like watching an art piece in motion. Sometimes the story gets ridiculous & insane but what kept me watching are the excellent acting from the whole cast! Costuming & setting is so well done as well. Impressive. The art style remains solid & consistent.

For making me watch till the last episode, I say CONGRATS.

Just one complain. Why do kdramas tend to use the same actors for the mom & dad roles?! It kept me from emotionally investing in the characters cos I've seen them before a bit too many times! Haha!
