Important Review Must Read!

I have not finished watching but I had to do the review beforehand. The United States movie "Signal" was nothing like this movie but it had to do with a murder case. This Kdrama and the American movie Signal are both great. The KDrama had more of a story to it which I so appreciate. Lee Je Hoon whose character Park Hae Yeong was very strong and convincing as a profiler. I need to see more with this actor. Kim Hye Soo who played Cha Soo Hyun was also a strong and compassionate emotional female detective, she was also doing a believable job. I will let you know the rest as I finish watching it. I have not skipped any episodes because it has me focused on them. Now the bad part.

Important: I always research the actor's main lead and support.

Drama policial demasiado excelente

Que sensación extraña cuando arrancas un drama por primera vez y antes del capitulo 3 ya te encuentras atrapado por completo sin darte cuenta, bueno signal lo logra en el primero y no te suelta hasta que llegas al ultimo donde no sabes que es lo que va a suceder de ninguna forma y te encuentras con que hasta ahi llego el drama........................ personalmente no me gustan los finales abiertos para una segunda temporada porque rara vez estos se dan pero siento que este final abierto (aunque por favor saquen la segunda temporada, la necesito) no estuvo mal sino que dejo como un final reflexivo y motivacional para quienes quieren plantarle cara a las injusticias asi que personalmente creo que es un muy buen final.
En cuanto a actuaciones no tengo nada malo para decir, es un excelente elenco con un muy buen desempeño pero si quiero hacer una mencion especial a lee je hoon porque me pareció excelente su trabajo, amo sus dramas y este es el más antiguo de el que vi y si lo conociera con este no podría hacer otra cosa que amarlo porque se supero proyecto a proyecto.
En resumen signal es un excelente drama fantástico/policial con actuaciones más que excelentes que te atrapa y no te suelta así que si quieren un muy buen drama para disfrutar, este es un candidato que cumple con todas las expectativas y más

Signal was definitely a worthwhile watch, but the top review does highly overrate it. It is absolutely not the best storyline I've ever watched, although I do feel that K-drama storylines have recently become so trashy that this drama comes off as a ray of sunshine.

This is a crime solving story where there are 5 cases featured throughout the story with one big underlying "final boss" that the main characters are getting closer to identifying. There aren't many action or thriller moments but the suspense is great. There are a lot of flashbacks (there should be a category for rating the quality of flashbacks haha. side note: what's with the popularity of flashbacks these days? they're honestly so annoying to watch) but they're pretty well done and you don't feel like you're watching the same scenes replay over and over again throughout the entire drama.

Characters were pretty good! It was a great display of corruptions vs virtue and I think these traits were well written into the character. Lee Jae Han was the STAR of the story; you can't help but fall in love with him. He's so valiant and virtuous, storming towards justice yet stumbling through romantic situations. While this character is loveable, it is very overdone. That would be my one comment about this drama; it didn't feel "new," but rather you were watching a story and characters that you're familiar with play out in an expected but definitely interesting way. While parts feel a bit TOO clean cut, theres still that sense of you don't know who will live, what will change, and who will die.

Continuing off that, while the story isn't new, there ARE twists that are unexpected (but nothing too outlandish or surprising). I cried episode 5 which I didn't expect to happen so quickly.

TL;DR I'm a kdrama watcher in their eariy 20's, so if you're bored by over-the-top romantic comedies and looking for something more serious (and a story that follows a line and doesnt just implode on itself) then I would highly recommend!

Watch this.

This is up to now still the best drama I have ever seen! It is not always so easy and straight-forward to follow with all the different timelines but I like it when a bit more effort is asked from a viewer. The cast is top notch, the chemistry between all the main characters is superb. It has been a while since I saw this so I don’t remember all of it anymore but I know it is something I will rewatch again when I know I have all the time in the world to enjoy it.
I rated the music because I have to but I honestly don’t remember the music anymore.

A miss, yet again.

I liked the lead actress and the past tense detective unfortunately that was not enough to keep me watching. I do not like flashbacks and nonlinear timelines in general but I could have overlooked that had the overall delivery been good but it really was not the case. The build up to the climax is great then it falls flat. It's seems like a pattern that many action/crime/thriller Korean dramas follow. It's really a shame because they have potential.
The acting bit is where it really did not disappoint. All the featured actors where anywhere from descent (the one that kidnapped the child) to great. I really did like the main actress a lot. The "female law enforcement character" is often a good one in Korean dramas that I must applaud.

acting is a bit over the top

i was curious about this series because it has high ratings.. but now that im on episode 5, im still waiting for that reason that why i shouldn't stop watching this show. one of the main things that frustrate me is the MAIN LEAD, i feel so tired watching him act.. he talks like someone is chasing him... not sure if this is his character but i feel frustrated every time i see him on screen.

one word: over acting.
the female lead though acts naturally. the rest feels OVER the top.

I wish this male lead at least just acts naturally. in my POV i don't think someone acts that way in the middle of the case.... or while researching.

Signal is one of the best K-dramas of 2016. The story involves time-overlapping; detectve Lee Jae-han is moving backward in time, while profiler Park Hae-young is moving forward in time. The drama is en par with the best British police detective dramas. The music and the suspense reminded me of the British Broadchurch drama, but Signal eclipsed Broadchurch in the story department.

too frustrating

I didn't expect things to be so frustrating from the very beginning. 1- people argue too much, there is no scene without a fight. perhaps this add some edging point to the story, but it's just too much. police officers fight against criminals, they fight against the victims' families, and then against their hierarchy and with each other. most of the time people don't understand each other because nobody listens. so I was already on edge from frustration, and then 2- they added the never ending flash back. I had the feeling things were going backwards.
the story was ok, but these 2 killed my patience. I dropped.
