SIGNAL is simply the best Korean drama to come out in years, crime drama or not, and also on the level of American/british TV productions. Just brilliant.
The entire cast does a brilliant job, portraying their respective characters very convincingly. If you enjoy black comedy, you will surely like this.
Likely the best TV series to have ever emerged from Denmark. Forbrydelsen (The Killing in the English speaking world) is predominantly responsible for the current obsession with Scandinavian crime drama.
No fancy fighting, no fancy lights, no explosions, no expensive effects... it's a simple but brilliant and gorgeous show. I recommend it to everyone.
I highly recommend this drama. Just remember that it is a bit crazy and over the top.
It is a moving tale for our times about the perilous results of a lack of community. But it is also a gripping mystery, shot through with an unsettling stillness and clearly under the influence of Forbrydelsen or Bron-Broen.
