This is no ordinary series. It demands your unwavering attention and significant exercise from your grey cells.There are multiple arcs and the underlying story is complex and multilayered. The director does excellent job in amalgamating it all into one beautiful seamless narrative. The actors are great with the exception of Lee Je - Hoon (who plays Park Have - Young), who at times seemed laboured. Cho Jin - Woong (who plays Lee Jae - Han) is exceptional, I don't believe I have seen anyone do better in a role. He is the soul of this series. The production values are really high.

Yes, it is at times a slow burn and towards the end seems stretched. Liberties have been taken with logic but with a complex script perfection is exceptionally hard to attain.The shortcomings in the script are generally concealed by the director and skill of the actors.

Excellent!

I watched Signal out of curiosity due to time/science fiction element written in the synopsis but it opened up much further to the excellent acting, plot and story line signal could offer. I wonder if Hollywood would learn a thing or two from this series to produce a different new level of story telling. Will they be releasing season 2 soon? I look forward to it almost anxiously. Will they not do so? I believe with the 16 episodes they aired had made many who watched Signal to expectantly wait if the producers would decide to continue. Its like two parallel earths - one past, the other present. Both worlds connected by a doorway of time. Past changed because of the present and present changes due to the past.

This is an exciting and fast paced thriller. Any loss of impetus caused by the plot contrivance setting up interweaving times lines is swiftly compensated for by the deft plotting and fine performances. The whole thing is propulsive, carrying you along willingly for the ride.

I was going to award the series a 9, but found the final episode disappointing. Everything was left in the air, perhaps for a second series, but this was not the problem. It was the loss of pace as the characters resorted to lengthy exposition to tidy up plot loose ends. Still an 8 though, so don't let this reservation put you off!

Normally, i don't bother to write review, but I need to tell everyone how awesome this TV series is. This is the first TV series that didn't make me bored or sleepy while watching it, it's full of suspense and unpredictable plot. It also plays with your emotion, i fell happy, sad, scared, angry, desperate while watching this series.

It's how good this series is, it's really draining my brain. I need to think while watching signal, even after i have finished watching it, i am still thinking about it. When I cannot move on even though i have finished watching it, then the movie is a really good one.

sorry but i think SIGNAL is better than game of thrones hahaha, you should watch it. Don't miss this great series.

Why do people of South Korea under rate their movies, TV-series so much? Why? Believe me when I say "If this show was made in Hollywood, It's rating would have been 9.5 or above". The amount of thriller provided in just the first four episodes is higher than the aggregate amount of thriller provided by all five seasons of TV series like Breaking Bad. I have watched every good Hollywood movie and TV- series, but I have never reviewed anything, This is my first review and it is coming for a South Korean drama, but the irony is I just don't have words to explain how I feel after watching this show. I am Speechless. I feel so bad when I see that there are not even 500 votes here. These directors, actors and the whole production team needs to be appreciated. They are giving us so much, I can't find ways to thank them. Why the world is living in ignorance? These 18 hours are right here, which can give them a next level thrilling experience. If someone by chance is reading this review, please do yourself a favor and watch this drama.

This emotionally rich drama chronicles the life of three individuals whose lives are intertwined. The screenplay which realistically beautiful,especially how the characters interact,allows a smooth flow for the narration. Lonely melancholic characters which are perfectly written and easily relatable is one of the aspects that upholds my emotional connection with the film. Sad to see that it is criminally underrated.

SPOILER: This was an insanely amazing show. From the plot, to the cinematography, to the characters, it was all top-notch. I was hooked and at the edge of my seat throughout all the episodes. The way they weaved the plots from past and present, and used the right amount of suspense to keep us wondering and speculating, were masterful. This is my top series of 2016! (along with Broadchurch, which I only watched in 2016 when it came out on Netflix lol)

I'm glad it ended the way it did too - ambiguous and with the promise of more to come. Even if they don't have a series 2, it's perfect the way it is.

If you like movies and series that talk about time travel and full of mystery this series is totally for you to watch.The writer of this series made a phenomenal job with some mind twist ideas every episode hook you up till the last minute all 16 episodes are full of excitement and you don't get bored at all 10/10 would recommend it and i hope to see season 2 for it.

I cannot explain this show just with a few words. So i'm gonna make this short. If you are looking for a K-drama to see or just want have a little tatse. Dont go anywhere far cuz this show is perfect

The main lead's reaction is ridiculous, portrayed as smart, calm and collected profiler who ends up losing his sense of reasoning and collectiveness towards the end of the show. Lead actress's acting isn't that great either. I feel that they shouldn't drag to 16 episodes but rather keep it short and sweet like other drama (12 episodes on average).

Time travel logic don't make sense after episode 14, extremely weird ending which doesn't make viewers looking forward to season 2 (if there is).

Would have enjoyed the show if they actually shorten the series and skip the extreme stagnant plot twists.

This show is practically flawless! Seriously my favorite TV show ever. I actually learned Hangul just so I could watch it without subtitles! Yes, it's that good.

This is first Korean Drama i watched and i am really glad that i did.. This is my review of any thing. I have watched many English TV shows but after a while they change story or no longer are exited compare to first episodes. but this is on whole another new level..Everything is just amazing story,acting,suspense. Writer just created her own new world.. I could feel, how characters felt for each other in this show.. nothing was forced or dragged too long.. I highly recommend this who is reading this.. Even at the last episodes, last minute i couldn't guess what was going to happen this is masterpiece of thriller genre.. and also soundtracks wow just amazing every music in this was amazing.. i really wish this was longer than just only 16 episodes..

SIGNAL (Sigeuneol) (2016) was such an interesting premise. I really enjoyed this crime series. I'm not sure how to best describe it though. It was such a unique experience. While it was a investigative crime drama series there were also definite amounts of science fiction or possibly even paranormal elements which makes it a very unusual watch for me. I really enjoyed that aspect however, especially blended with criminal investigation aspects. Although a strange mix of genres, it really worked here.

I loved Lee Jehoon (as Park Hae-Young). At first I really didn't think I would like him but he ended up being phenomenal in this. He is far from being a stereotypical lead character. I love the emotional connection he gets with cases. Given his background it really endears viewers to him. I love Kim Hye-su (as Detective Cha Soon-hyeon) and Cho Jin-woong (as Detective Lee Jae-han). They are both great actors and their characters are really cool and likable.

I also really enjoyed the two timelines. I think they did a great job portraying two different eras and overlapping story and cases. The concept is fascinating. Visually and aesthetically it was appealing and very original series. The acting was great, the story was great, the music was great, I loved the three main characters. Everything was really well done.

The main reason I hesitate giving this 10 stars is for a few small reasons. Mainly because of the way it ended. Without giving away any spoilers I will only say the ending felt very open-ended, and hopefully it is open-ended intentionally for the purpose of sequel seasons. Until then, I hesitate in rating it too highly because it felt incomplete and needed so much more. Secondly, while I loved the three main characters so much, many of the other side characters felt a bit flat to me. I felt there could have been more depth and character building. Otherwise this show was so unique and worthwhile.

While Signal is very intriguing and full of heart, it also has a very dark and dreary feeling, with a lot of very sad themes (i.e. Murder, corruption, suicide, rape, etc.) and not a lot of happy moments to balance it. The overall mood of the show is very heavy. A lot of the story revolves around some very depressing, tragic themes and is quite hard to handle at times. Even still, this is one of my all time favorites.

[EDIT: There are rumors there will be a season 2!]

STORY: 10/10 CINEMATOGRAPHY: 10/10 ART/DESIGN/VISUALS: 10/10 MUSIC: 10/10 OVERALL RATING: 9/10.

I really love korean movies, but this was my 1st korean series. I was blown away by the amazing story, the incredible acting and the pace that keeps you glued to the screen from start to finish. It has everything, love story, drama, thriller, comedy and even some sci fi element. I promise it's impossible not to love.

A unique spin to time travel. Solid drama with detectives solving crimes in two time periods. With each episode, you learn a little more why it is that those two detectives are the ones communicating through this magic walkie-talkie. When this series ended, I was left wanting so much more!

While most tv from Hollywood or India increasingly relies on sex and gore to sell itself, this TV series shows that you don't need any explicit stuff to get people interested if you have an intriguing plot. The sheer complexity of the plot is handled with such finesse that it makes 'Game of Thrones' look like it's written by a bunch of juveniles. After watching this you can't go back to watching stuff like Arrow, Flash. Pure garbage. Also, worth mentioning is the emotional depth of the series. I'm the last person on earth to jerk a tear but this one made me. This TV series should be a reference guide on how humans emotions should be crafted and conveyed in cinema. It's a masterpiece!

Wowwwwww this series is a must watch for anyone who like thriller series with exceptionally well stories plotting. I highly recommend this series. I enjoyed every episode and never got bored even for a second. Highly highly highly recommend this series.

Based on the high rating and the new Kingdom series, I started this one. Each one is over an hour long. The different timelines via a walkie-talkie was clever but cannot compare with the 3 timelines in True Detective Season 3, less supernatural. Acting was good from the 3 leads but pacing was slower due to the "soapish" quality, especially starting with episode 10 with college girls murder. I could see why the 3 major networks in Korea did not want to carry it. I'm sure their 1% are even more corrupt, even at the presidential or chaebol's level. Glad the independent/cable type station brought this series out. It's dark and morbid like True Detective. It would have been great with 12 episodes. Worth a watch.

I get it. Folks love the lead actors and actress. And I will admit, they are amazing. I like them too. But loving the leads is no reason to rate this show so high. No way does it deserve an 8.5/10 average on IMDB.

8/10 - BEGINNING - The premise and starting episodes. Not entirely unique, as there are plenty of split across time communication stories out there. But this one has some grit to it, and the challenges the leads face cause a cohesive and very likable team to form. You're thinking, "This may be real good."

4/10 - MIDDLE - And that team dynamic becomes why the choices the characters make time and again just so difficult to fathom towards the middle of the show. It's like a standard Korean Crime Drama show trope: "We have to make sure that our characters stop communicating with each other, start acting alone and erratically, and avoid easy and obvious choices that would make their jobs so much easier!". And I've said it before, this is simply because Korean writers have a VERY hard time closing out stories once they get going. They rely on random chance encounters, overly bad (or good) luck, and the aforementioned unexplainable behavior of the main characters to move the plot along from point A to point B. This show takes these weaknesses to the extreme. To the point you're groaning and rolling your eyes at the screen.

ENDING - 1/10 - Very VERY dissatisfying. Almost like the writers either a) Wanted an artsy stylistic ending that doesn't fit the rest of the show, or b) They were 100% sure they would get a second season...that never came. Unfulfilling to say the least.

Stellar cast, script, direction, and OST in a great series.
