Black Out is a goddamn good kdrama! It’s captivating viewers with the bold and dynamic actions of its characters. Leaving many to wait eagerly for Episode 10 to come out.

In MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama Black Out, the relentless efforts of Go Jeong-woo (played by Byun Yo-han) and Noh Sang-chul (played by Go Joon) to uncover the truth behind a murder case from 11 years ago are resonating deeply with audiences. Let’s revisit some standout moments, from their scathing rebukes of the guilty to powerful confrontations that demand justice.

One striking scene features Go Jeong-woo delivering sharp criticism to fathers who shamelessly evade responsibility. He confronts Shim Dong-min (played by Jo Jae-yoon), who has a history of domestic violence. After Shim’s daughter’s tragic death, he turns his anger towards Go Jeong-woo’s mother. Jeong-woo powerfully reminds him of Shim Bo-young (played by Jang Ha-eun), asking, “Bo-young is watching you from heaven. Are you confident?” This confrontational moment forces Shim to face his guilt.

Additionally, Jeong-woo takes aim at Yang Heung-soo (played by Cha Soon-bae) and Shin Chu-ho (played by Lee Doo-il), who desperately try to cover for their children’s wrongdoings. He states, “The shameless ones are Min-soo and Byeong-mu.” As Jeong-woo begins to overcome his own trauma and assertively voice his thoughts, viewers are left eager to see what he will do next.

On the other hand, Noh Sang-cheol, Go Jeong-woo’s investigative partner, provides viewers with a sense of vicarious satisfaction through his serious commitment to the case. After uncovering something suspicious during the investigation 11 years ago, he has quietly supported Go Jeong-woo in his quest for the truth, embodying a strong sense of justice.

A particularly striking moment occurs when the past assault of Shim Bo-young (played by Jang Ha-eun) by Yang Byung-moo (played by Lee Tae-goo) and Shin Min-soo (played by Lee Woo-je) comes to light. Noh Sang-cheol’s fierce reaction stands out; when Yang Byung-moo laments his own situation after harming others, Noh cuts him off decisively, saying, “What matters about your circumstances? What’s significant about your troubled life?”

Together, Go Jeong-woo and Noh Sang-cheol confront villagers consumed by selfishness to protect themselves and their families, slowly unearthing the hidden secrets of the community. Viewers are left wondering what revelations the two relentless truth-seekers will uncover next.

MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama Black Out will air Episode 10 at 9:50 PM on the 20th. It will be a week after the episode was pre-empted during the Chuseok holidays, much to the viewers’ regret and much anticipation.
