Signal

I watched all 16 episodes & I am delighted. Can ‘t wait for season 2. The last episode was a drag. Because I wanted them to find the Detective Lee. But of course they needed a loose end to begin!

Lee Je hoon is a very honest & sincere actor. I started watching him from ‘Move to Heaven ‘ 2021. I remember all family members would watch it post dinner. We would wait for the next episode to be loaded. It is that good!

Then ‘Where Stars Land’ 2018 which has lives of employees at Incheon International Airport. Not as dynamic as his other shows. Also stars Chae So bin, now known for her latest ‘When the Phone Rings’ 2024-25.

With ‘Hot Stove League’ 2020, a cameo & ‘Taxi Driver’ 2021 , season 1, season 2 , 2023 & a third season is scheduled in second half of 2025.

Kim Hye soo is known for her quality work. One of the most popular teen stars in 1980s & 1990s. She is known for her headstrong independence & regularly playing strong willed, sophisticated women.

I watched her in ‘Dr Romantic’ 2017, a cameo & I was in search for this lady. She has style, poise & that certain tilt of her head makes… heads turn! Really. Then ‘Hyena’ 2020, which I have n’t finished.

Also ‘Under the Queen’s Umbrella’ 2022, on my hit list. I started with the first episode but characters kept on adding & I was lost. Collecting all my courage I plan to watch it, now.

Cho Jin woong as the elusive Detective Lee is the central character. He has been active from 2004 till date, but I have seen his ‘The Good Bad Mother’ 2023. Ra Mi ran & Lee Do hyun, her son run the show.

Cho Jin woong as Choi Hae sik , Young soon ‘s late husband has only a special appearance. His untimely death is the reason why the single mother lives a tenacious life to protect her son.

‘Signal’ is a beautifully written & enacted drama. An ace in the Korean dramas. Not surprising then that it has been heavily awarded.
