le walkie talkie magique qui communique à travers le temps
Pour donner envie :Le tout jeune profiler Park Hae Yung arrive dans l'unité du lieutenant (femme, ça a son importance) Cha So-Yun, et il y est reçu plutôt fraîchement : le profilage, c'est de la daube, il ne connaît rien au terrain, et de plus il est assez arrogant... Il se trouve aussitôt mêlé à une enquête qui dure depuis 15 ans concernant l'enlèvement d'une fillette, alors que le délai de prescription est sur le point d'être clos. Passant à côté d'un sac d'objets obsolètes destinés à la casse, il entend son nom et découvre un walkie-talkie émettant un appel "Lieutenant Park Hae-Young, vous êtes là ? " La voix lui donne alors un renseignement précieux pour l'enquête... et la radio s'éteint. Et le jeune homme se rend compte qu'il n'y a même pas de batterie dans la machine...
Et nous voilà embarqués dans un chassé-croisé entre le passé et le présent, sans qu'il y ait de vrai déplacement, (le walkie-talkie est le seul lien, s'ouvrant seulement à 23 h 30 pendant 2 minutes), dans lequel vont se mêler les enquêtes "cold-case", celles du jour, et les implications dans le passé et le présent des personnages, qui, bien sûr ont tous un passé plus ou moins douloureux.
Ce drama est passionnant de bout en bout, le réseau des actions/réactions passé/présent avec leurs conséquences sur les changement qui en découlent est mené dans une logique imparable, tout se tient, tout s'explique... sauf la fin et alors là, je ne suis pas d'accord du tout avec elle !!! Plus frustrante tu meurs ! Ce n'est pas qu'elle soit ouverte, c'est carrément un gouffre, un abîme d'ouverture !! Je me suis trouvée à trépigner en criant "NOOOOOOOOON !" devant mon écran, et pourtant, je recommande très chaudement ce drama !
Cho Jin-Wong (qui semble se spécialiser dans le rôle du mec droit, solide, loyal jusqu'au bout avec un côté nounours confortable absolument craquant) est absolument parfait, et même si tout le reste de la distrib est excellent, pour moi il domine tout le monde !
La BO est excellente (oui, je peux dire ça ! ) discrète, parfaitement adaptée, juste ce qu'il faut quand il faut, et même les chansons sont très bonnes et pas du tout envahissantes (genre I love you de DOTS.... )
Par contre j'ai eu un souci, les images changeaient de format quand on changeait d'époque, 16/9 aujourd'hui et 14/3 dans le passé) et moi qui déteste viscéralement les images déformées, ça m'a posé un vrai problème !
Mais laissez-vous embarquer, vous ne verrez pas le temps passer ! Par contre c'est un drama dur, assez noir car on évolue dans le milieu de la corruption, et l'espoir que le bien triomphera un jour est mince...

it's great. binged it in 4 days
I loved it. the story was great, we have to remember the laws in Korea are different than where some other people may live. the low ratings don't know what they're talking about. people always complain about something, you can't please everyone.The majority of us liked it. it kept me watching. it's a great mystery, crime / drama. I feel like it covered reality and how it is when you have money and power. give it a try, I wasn't disappointed at all. I would definitely recommend this drama series to someone I know, even someone I don't know.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The premise is simple on the surface - what if you could change the past, including your sad past? This crime thriller - indirectly time travel drama definitely surpassed similar drama in terms of its storyline, directing and acting. The story has more than meets the eye; how the past has more intricate connections than I could ever imagine - like peeling layers of an onion. Cha Soo Hyun (Kim Hye Soo) portrayed her character seamlessly; going back and forth between her past and future character. Lee Jae Han (Jo Jin Woong) turned the drama into a quite emotional journey as the story progressed. Get ready for a box of tissue, you are going to cry and rooting for Detective Lee Jae Han. Park Hae Young (Lee Jae Hoon) can be over dramatic sometimes - but it's minor. The classical and nostalgic OSTs are gems - hard to forget. After all, can a Misaeng production team gone wrong?

A 100x times better than the CW-adaptation (girl and her father in the past communicated via radio).
A lot of people loved Kim Hye Soo in her role as the main female lead but I really did not enjoy her acting in this. Her eyes are expressive for sure but too much eye acting made it feel she was a creepier character than she really was. I enjoyed the main male leads' acting in this
The wrap-up was satisfying. A show I've been consistently recommending to my non-kdrama watching friends as a hope to get them into watching kdramas!
It's usually really hard for me to watch shows with little to no romance but this show succeeded by making me watch it all the way through.
Overall, a really solid show if you are into great writing, execution, and acting. One of the most recommendable shows of 2016 for sure.

Resenha- Signal
Comecei a assistir esse drama despretensiosamente, e não sou muito fã de histórias que envolvam viagem no tempo ou coisas assim, já que a maioria das vezes que vi alguma produção sobre essa temática, por algum motivo que desconheço, quando se aproximavam da reta final, sempre me decepcionava pela quebra do ritmo ou porque os roteiristas se perdiam no caminho e a história chegava a um ponto que considerava fantasiosa demais, o que me fazia perder o interesse.Mas não foi isso o que aconteceu aqui, e por isso realmente me surpreendi com esse drama. Logo nos primeiros episódios, tive a sensação de que era um drama promissor e que ia gostar dele pela forma como o enredo foi contado.
A história é bem intrigante e muito interessante, e as transmissões entre os dois policiais através do Walkie-Talkie tornaram o enredo ainda mais divertido de se ver, isso conseguiu me manter naquela expectativa a cada novo episódio e não deixou o ritmo cair em momento algum. Não posso deixar de acrescentar que a reta final me deixou tão curiosa sobre o que viria a seguir que me fez criar altas teorias sobre o desfecho.
A forma como cada caso que eles resolvem está interligado aos outros como se fossem peças de um quebra- cabeças que vão se encaixando aos poucos foi sensacional. Além disso, a reação em cadeia que é gerada no momento em que um acontecimento do passado é modificado e consequentemente transforma as situações do futuro completamente, tanto para melhor quando para pior em alguns momentos. E ao mesmo tempo a luta incessante dos dois detetives para salvar vidas, e o cuidado que passaram a tomar para concertar certas coisas foi simplesmente magistral,.
Gostei da personalidade de ambos protagonistas e ausência de romance nessa história em particular, retirou aquele caráter clichê que é corriqueiro desse gênero, o que me relembrou aqueles tempos em que eu assistia uma serie policial americana maravilhosa chamada: Cold Case. Sim, eu senti a mesma vibe aqui, por toda a questão envolvendo os casos arquivados que vão sendo solucionados pelos detetives no decorrer da história.
E que vilões foram aqueles ? Os atores entraram de cabeça no papel e as artimanhas e maquinações desses personagens eram tão malvadas, que a soma de todos seus atos, me fizeram torcer para que tivessem um fim trágico que mereciam, e que quando caíssem do seu pedestal, ficassem totalmente desolados. Fazer o que? Eu realmente nunca torço para o lado bandido, e sempre quero que colham tudo aquilo que plantaram no final.
●❯L E V E •S P O I L E R ❮●
O que senti falta no final foi que explicassem o motivo das transmissões terem começado e porque ela se deu entre aqueles dois detetives em particular. Quem dera tivessem me dado só mais alguns minutos no ultimo episodio para ver aquele encontro épico entre os três protagonistas, já que esperei por este momento desde o primeiro episódio.

Not bad but not the best
I watched this drama because a lot of people keep saying that this is really good. I am usually watching a lot of thriller&mystery drama so i had high expectation regarding this. Sadly i was a little disappointed. The story was good but could be a better development of cases and characters. This drama has some original parts that until now i didn't found in another dramas so let's say it worthy to watch. For those who are not a fan of thriller&mistery drama, Signal, can be amazing and catch your atention.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Disappointing if you have a high expectation
I started watching Signal because it was directed by the Kim Won-Seok, and won Baeksang Art Awards for Best Drama in 2016, the same as My Mister in 2018. To be honest, the first few episodes got me hooked, but later on it became painful to finish and I almost quit (twice) in Ep 7 and Ep 15.The production is excellent, granted, acting isn't really bad, just average, OSTs are not memorable, but the story is ruined by too much "grandfather paradox" from time traveling. We can never really apply logic to any time travel novels and movies, because it's not logical from the start.
What I like most about this drama is its key messages: injustice that always favors the riches, and "never give up." What I hate most, perhaps as much as illogical time travel, is the stupidities of protagonists--all three of them. At one point, they seemed smart, but then made a series of same stupid decisions. Well, that may be our nature to do something stupid repeatedly, but for a drama, I don't think it's fun to watch our protagonists succumbed to their stupidities too many times.

Great drama, just a bit overrated.
This is one of those shows that start out as your basic crime story but turns out to be a melodrama after all. The crimes they worked on are quite intriguing. The investigations, though, are sloppy and the police are either lazy and promotion-hungry or just plain lucky. Even the cold case squad members don't have excellent investigative skills. I guess the writer really wants to show to the viewers that the transmissions are the real hero in this story. Everyone else is just a tool --- the self-righteous profiler, the kind-hearted cop who always cries, and the grieving squad leader. The good thing is that there is a clear rule about the impact of changing the past that is established early in the show. Even though there are a lot of awkward dialogues, ugly crying and cliches about cops, overall acting is really great. Even the lazy, conniving cops are so convincing i had to keep myself from throwing the remote.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Spellbinding, captivating stuff
This is a show that will linger in your mind long after you are finished with it. It is captivating, heart-wrenching, beautiful, devastating, cruel and agonising. The story of two detectives connected by an old walkie-talkie solving cold cases is a fantastic concept and this show did not falter in exploring how far it could go. I've never watched a show that has finished as strongly as it started.Signal deserves a longstanding reputation as one of the greatest TV shows in Asia. For that, the writers and the actors deserve so much credit. They delivered with each episode. There was no silly subplot, no silly love triangle. This show was coldly ruthless in telling the story it wanted to. The magical realism imbued it with excitement but it was the human story, the struggles involving the characters, that won you. They were all good people trying to fix the old wrongs. At the heart of it was Lee Jee-Haan, the old detective guided by a an unmoving moral compass always pointing the right way. His emotions, the intensity of his resolve and ethics, was beautiful. The music complemented the show superbly too and accentuated the tone of every scene, adding rather than diminishing.
I would recommend everyone to watch this show. You will cry, you will sit in despair, your heart will ache for them. But you will watch it all the way through believing in them as Lee Jee-Haan did in justice. This might just be the greatest Korean show i've ever watched.

Fast-paced police procedural with time jump element
Highly recommended for those looking for fast-paced police procedural with time jump element.What I like
1) Acting - Cho Jin-Woong was the standout performer out of the three leads. His facial expressions were on point that I cried during one of his scenes (when he was so desperate). Kim Hye-soo and Lee Je-hoon were great in their roles too.
2) Great writing - It was stressful at times because I felt for Lee Jae-han, who couldn't just trust anybody.
3) The connection between three leads - Detective Lee Jae-han-Park Hae-young connection is so sweet.
4) Engaging plot including sub-plots - This drama is plot-driven. I love how the mini cases are interwoven with the big case.
What I dislike
1) The ending - I want to know what happened to Detective Lee Jae-han.
Favourite scene
The bomb scene threw me off guard and made me panic!

A solid suspense drama and the walkie-talkie business was one of the highlights of the show.
So Signal is about a detective from 1989 and a cold case profiler in 2015 working together through a magical walkie-talkie to solve and prevent crimes from happening. Solving them in 2015 helps prevent them in 1989 and through trial and error, Lee Jae Han, the detective from 1989, and Park Hae Yeong, the cold case profiler from 2015 figure out what went wrong and how to fix them in their own times. The concept behind the show is was initially drew me to watching it and I’m glad that I did because the actors really brought this story to life. It totally made sense to me that there was a magical walkie-talkie helping a man from the 80’s help a man from 2015 solve crime and beat the bad guys.I also thought that the cases that they worked on together were interesting. From the kidnapping case to the rape case, to every other case, each story really stood out and had me thinking about them long after I turned the final episode off. These characters really go through it personally and professionally and they had to overcome so much to get to that end. There were times where I had to walk away from the TV because what was happening was too much for me and my blood pressure but I will say that the villains played their roles really well in this one because I hated their asses so much.
Overall, there were moments when certain characters and cases made my blood boil but I’m glad that I stuck with this show because it was a solid suspense drama and the time through walkie-talkie business was one of the highlights of the show for me. I love the friendship that blossomed between Lee Jae Han and Park Hae Yeong. I thought the way that their friendship grew and grew with each case that they worked on was just so stinkin’ great.
