I'm going to put out this disclaimer that I do not usually write reviews. I could not stop myself this time. Signal delivered. I always feel ambivalent about watching such a highly rated drama because either it delivers or its extremely overrated and I end up disappointed. Signal is definitely and exception. Its just a down right good story. It's not just for one age group. Signal drew me in from the get go. It was funny, suspenseful, and heart wrenching all at the same time. I've never felt so vested in dramaland characters before. Although signal is pure fiction it was every bit "real." The actors were outstanding in their portrayals of "real" people. Sometimes dramas are cliché or unrealistic or at times can't be taken seriously. I tend to lean toward romantic dramas but this piece was so much more fulfilling than most of the dramas I've watched.

Story wise an absolute 10. There were many unanswered questions but not in a frustrating lose ends way but a your imagination is the limit way. And there is a certain beauty in that.

The music moved me again and again. Rewatch value is the only thing I can't give this a 10 in. I feel I watch it to much and come to know every twist and turn it will lose some of its appeal , plus I'm not sure my heart could handle it. But every so often most definitely. I would and will recommended this to anyone. And I will watch this again.

I never write reviews but for this one I had too. I've ony seen Lee Min Ho in lighter roles like Boys Over Flowers or Heirs but it was awesome to see him portray a serious character with so much depth. And he was totally hot in doing it. The actor that played the Prince of the Court receives a standing ovation from me!!! Superb!

The story itself was almost flawless with only a few holes.(But time-travel shows usually have things that just don't add up.) I usually find myself watching the last few episodes of any drama in fast-foward. Not the case! My fast-forwarding was merely to check on the welfare of my beloved characters before rewinding and watching the episode in is entirety. The soundtrack is currently downloading on my computer right now. Moving, captivating, and inspiring.

Though still on the newer side of dramaland with only 50 dramas under my belt I found Faith refreshing in a different way. While the swordplay and massive causalties every episode was somewhat unnerving and hard to stomach I found the story and episodes to be well-balanced.

I felt I could understand the characters and found myself less mad at them than usual. I even found the villians enjoyable to watch as the portray they roles amazingly and might and add at times hilariously. It's often frustrating to see the villians winning for the majority of the show. But the little victories on each side made for an interesting watch and great storytelling.

Faith didn't have the melodrama and usual drama cliches and aside from the "inner powers" some characters had. I found the events not to be over the top-dramatic but in the world they lived in totally plausible. And I didn't feel the need to roll my eyes constantly. It wasn't too fluffy, too sad, or too dramatic. And it was quite funny at times. Most of the main characters experienced some form of character growth and the supporting cast was loveable especially the Woodalchi Boys. And that ending....

All in all great watch.
