Additional Info.

​"Death to Snow White - Black Out is based on the best-selling novel Death to Snow White by German author Nelle Neuhaus. The drama was initially known by the original title, Death to Snow White, but was later changed to Black Out, and ultimately, the two titles were combined and confirmed as Death to Snow White - Black Out. A blackout generally refers to memory loss caused by excessive drinking. This concept connects to the protagonist’s journey as he is wrongfully labeled a murderer and struggles to uncover the truth about the incident that remains in his memory. In the original novel, the main character, Tobias, returns to his village after serving 10 years in prison for his involvement in a murder that occurred during a village festival. Similarly, in the drama, the protagonist, Go Jeong-woo, returns to his hometown after serving 10 years in prison, having been wrongly accused of murdering two girls who were both his friends and lovers."​
