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!

Excellent!
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 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.
