Must watch. Everything is 10/10. I also rewatch it thrice. Even if the casts are not very handsome or super pretty, there should be no problem. The storyline is already good enough to make for everything.

One of the Best time travel and crime drama ever!
I watched this drama very recently and ohgod I loved it. I was a little scared that I
would not like this drama but I freaking
loved it so much. I thought at first that it
would be another drama where we have
to find a serial killer and all and well it
was kinda same but we had to find two
serial killers and a lot more than that.
The thing I loved the most about it that
unlike some detective dramas it showed
the corruption of the police department
and how rich people get away even though
they commit a big crime. It was like an
eye-opener. The time-travel element was
very well written and executed it had its
own rules and they never were broken.
The actors did their jobing like so perfectly.
I specially liked the old detective like
whenever he cried it felt totally real. The
most thing I liked was how the characters
and the story both was so well balanced.
It was just amazing of a drama. Another
thing I liked that the criminals weren’t
labeled as “human trash” just because they
did a crime.
It showed how victim’s family and
criminal’s family was effected to. And just
it was a fabulous drama and I am eagerly
waiting or the season 2. The ending left
me speechless and it needs to have a
season 2! It needs to!

One of the strongest point of this drama is the cast: Lee Je Hoon as Park Hae Yeong is perfect, his expressions, his big lips, the crazy look he has when he's profiling someone, his tears.. are really on point! I dunno another works from him, but after this drama I'll definitively stalker him around. Jo Jin Woong as Lee Jae Han is really good too, I really like the development and how the actor portrait this specific character.. Cha Soo Heyon is not my favorite kind of female character, just for the fact that I feel like almost all her judgements are kind of based on her feelings for Lee Jae Han. But, on the other side, is really cool to watch this strong and amazing woman that doesn't seem afraid of fighting for the right thing. Kim Hye Soo was really cool on the acting scenes and I really think that she has a crazy chemistry with Lee Je Hoon; I shipped Detective Cha with Park Hae Yeong all time long!
Overall I really enjoyed watching this drama and I couldn't stop until I had finished it.. Everything was done pretty well and it's impossible to not like it.

SUPER ADDICTIVE !
~One of the best detective dramas with fantasy mix~Keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time
~Two cops from two different timelines attempt to solve crimes with noticeable repercussions
~Time-travel aspect is executed so well
~Solid acting by leads and their chemistry is very endearing
~Some of the cases are based on real events and can be disturbing at times but handled very sensitively
~Can be tear-jerking if you get too attached to the characters/stories
~The open ending left too many questions and I am still waiting for SEASON 2 GODDAMITT!

One of my best K-Drama
One of the best mystery Korean dramas in my opinion. At first I was skeptical about watching it, but when I tried 1 episode, I finished it right away.It's still the best mystery, thriller and crime drama in my opinion, and I'm eagerly waiting for season 2, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
In terms of story, cases, the uniqueness of the dynamics of the story really makes the audience drift into it especially in the last episode.
As for the music, I don't remember the OST at all, but I think the tension in the drama itself made me forget about it hahahaha

Okay let's say that the story was really good maybe little boring in some points made me skip a little !! but overall everything was great .. i'm so in anything with Mystery, Supernatural, Detective, Investigation Dramas and i just found it all mixed in on series so i was over joyful watching it .. and it came with really good actors so YAAAAAAAAYYY for me :D
the actors were really good speacially Jo Jin Woong how he acted his frustrated , disappointed feelings about the law and how he is a policeman that can't put an end to corruption of the system and the men around him ,, and how he couldn't bring the justices to that little boy or even himself !!!! he killed me everytime i saw him so helpless , made me cry my eyes ouut ... i don't know how i should watch any series after this !!! i think i will need long break till something really took me like that again i finish the series in 3 days !!! damn i hope for another season

This drama was absolutely thrilling, every minute of it! The cast, the plot, each cold case. So worth it to watch, however SPOILER
for the last 2 episodes or so, the flashbacks were a bit long and annoying because they were already shown several times in earlier episodes. And the Jae Han was too heroic, he became an idiot... For some parts it was unclear why did he do things the way he did, but no drama is perfect so it is acceptable I guess. The ending though, I liked and disliked it at the same time, I mean why did he have to hide in a hospital for 15 years, he didnt seem to be disabled or anything like that. Would have bee perfect if they explained everything at the end.

Im so sad that it got discontinued, Im truly disappointed to learn that it wont be getting another season. Its like finding a really good fanfiction only to realise that the author hasnt updated the story since 2015..If you're a big fan of time travel plots like I am then you might really like this! Though this technically isnt really time travel kdrama but if you're curious about it then I really do recommend you watching this. Romance isnt a main factor in there but you know how kdramas always find a way to get some cheesy romance in there...even if it is just very subtle lol.

Intense & Mysterious
SIGNAL (Sigeuneol) 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 did enjoy the characters of the Cold Case Division) 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. It can be heart-wrenching. Even still, this is one of my all time favorites.
[EDIT: There are rumors there will be a season 2!]

To be honest, this drama makes me miserable so many times. I find the police here were corrupt and uncooperative at all, which make investigation harder and annoying. There are times where I want to pull my hair because of the chief. In addition, the drama has a kind of slow pace of the investigation ( which make sense, they investigate cold cases and was given many hurdles by other police too).
Overall it is an amazing crime drama. The main character is logical and has a high analytic skill.
