Black Out kdrama - Finale Episode 14 Recap and Spoilers. In Black Out, Byun Yo-han was cleared of all charges and found not guilty. In the final episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Black Out, which aired on October 4th, the culprit who murdered Park Da-eun (Han So-eun) was revealed, clearing Go Jeong-woo's (Byun Yo-han) name. As a result, the final episode of Black Out recorded 8.8% nationwide and 8.2% in the metropolitan area, with a peak viewership rating of 9.1%. The nationwide viewership ratings broke its own record and ended on a high note (based on Nielsen Korea). In that episode, it was revealed that the culprit who murdered Park Da-eun was Hyun Soo-oh (Lee Ga-seop). Hyun Goo-tak (Kwon Hae-hyo) headed to the warehouse and became suspicious after hearing Hyun Soo-oh's voice muttering to himself, prompting him to open the door. Hyun Goo-tak, upon seeing the interior decorated like a foundation, expressed his unease, saying, “What is this place?” Hyun Soo-oh spread his arms and stopped his father, saying, “Da, Da-eun, don’t bother her.” However, Hyun Goo-tak went straight over and found Da-eun’s body lying on the bed. Shocked, he shouted, “What? Why is Da-eun here? Are you crazy? Why are you like this?” He then asked, “Su-oh, tell dad. What are you talking about right now?” Hyun Soo-oh shouted, “Stop bothering me!” and left the warehouse. Hyun Goo-tak was left in thought with Park Da-eun’s body. He looked bewildered, saying, “Why is Park Da-eun’s body here? I worked hard to cover it up. Why is it here?” Hyun Soo-oh ran outside and found Go Jeong-woo, leading him to the warehouse. Soon, Go Jeong-woo discovered Hyun Goo-tak pouring oil around the body and looked inside with surprised eyes. Hyun Goo-tak said, "Jeong-woo, our Soo-oh is sick. Isn't it pitiful?" He continued, "Uncle can't let Geon-oh go like that and have Soo-oh arrested as well." He tried to bury the incident by saying, "If you and I close our eyes, everything will be resolved. Let's do that, and you and I will cremate Da-eun." However, Go Jeong-woo replied, "You knew everything. That I didn't kill Bo-young and Da-eun. But how could you do that? I heard everything from Min-soo. You set it all up, uncle," and became angry at Hyun Goo-tak. Hyun Goo-tak responded, "I didn't plan on doing that from the beginning," adding, "Gun-oh was there when the incident happened that day, and I thought it was him." He also made excuses, saying, "I'm a father. What wouldn't I do to keep Gun-oh safe?" Hyun Goo-tak then revealed the whole story, saying, "But Da-eun suddenly disappeared, and if you were the culprit, a lot of things would have been solved…" He also said, "If there's something I'm sorry about to you, it's that for the past 10 years, I really wanted you to kill Da-eun," and apologized, but this only made Go Jeong-woo angrier. Go Jeong-woo shouted, "Aren't you sorry to our family? Aren't you sorry to our father who believed my uncle's words and admitted that his own child was a murderer, and to our mother who suffered terribly for 10 years because everything fell apart?" Hyun Goo-tak replied, "Why aren't you sorry? Let's stop now," and set the body on fire. As the truth of the murder case from 11 years ago was revealed, Go Jeong-woo succeeded in a retrial with the help of Noh Sang-chul (Go Joon). Leaving the courtroom with a burden on his mind but a sense of relief, Go Jeong-woo began a new life with Noh Sang-chul’s warm encouragement: “Just live an ordinary life.” Go Jeong-woo’s mother, Jeong Geum-hee (Kim Mi-kyung), also woke up from a coma, restoring their harmonious family life, which was touching. The villains who ruined Go Jeong-woo’s life met miserable ends. Hyun Goo-tak, blinded by power and hiding the truth, was imprisoned, and Ye Yeong-sil (Bae Jong-ok) lost her election, shedding tears of defeat as her evil deeds were revealed. Choi Na-gyeom (Go Bo-gyeol), who tormented others with twisted affection, remained trapped in her own emotions even in a mental hospital, creating bitterness. As all the events came to a close, Go Jeong-woo recalled memories of the past that could not be returned and said his final goodbyes to those who were precious to him. The white chrysanthemums floating on the sea and Go Jeong-woo’s soft farewell words, “I miss you so much and I love you,” left a deep impression. In this way, Black Out meticulously portrayed the process in which Go Jeong-woo, who became the suspect in a murder case without a body 11 years ago, pieced together the puzzle of his shattered memories after his release from prison, maximizing immersion with each episode. Beginning with an accidental tragedy, the intentional crimes committed to protect each other’s safety and the relationships among the characters were revealed one by one, surprising viewers with endless twists. In particular, the passionate acting of the cast, who immersed themselves in their characters, stood out. The actors seamlessly blended into the narrative, moving back and forth between the past and present from the moment the incident occurred to the 11 years that had passed, drawing admiration with their performances that deeply engaged the audience. The solid acting synergy among Byun Yo-han (as Go Jeong-woo), Go Joon (as Noh Sang-chul), Go Bo-gyeol (as Choi Na-gyeom), and Kim Bo-ra (as Ha-seol) added to the thriller's tension. Additionally, the plot vividly depicted the darker sides of humanity, such as victim mentality, lies, and distrust, through events in a small-town community, presenting a compelling narrative. This reflects the know-how of the production team, who have focused on Korean-style thrillers such as Save Me 1, 2 and The King of Pigs, implemented with director Byun Young-joo's unique sensuous direction, with hidden foreshadowing throughout the scenes that endlessly stimulated viewers' curiosity for mystery. The music that accompanied the scenes also brought the atmosphere of the drama to life, enhancing the overall experience. Black Out, where all elements—acting, storytelling, direction, and music—come together, has seen its viewership ratings rise since its premiere through word of mouth. Recently, it has maintained a 5th place ranking for two consecutive weeks, achieving the feat of creating a new box office formula for well-made thriller dramas. MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Black Out, which tells the story of ordinary people trying to reveal the truth among those who lie, has left a deep resonance, offering hope for a new world.
