Rating: ★★★★☆  Huhu meter: ▮▮▯▯▯ Genre: Drama, Thriller, Fantasy, Procedural Signal is a fantasy series about a criminal profiler and police lieutenant who actually does not trust the cops because of his own past experiences. Crazy things start to happen when he finds a busted two-way radio that oddly, works at a certain time of the day. What he's getting though are transmissions from the past. His conversations with a detective at the other end of the line help him solve cases that have been unresolved for over a decade. This series tackles some serious issues - injustice, abuse of power, staying true to your sworn duty. The cast was incredible in portraying their characters. The excellent script and fantastic cinematography worked so well that despite the overlapping past and present scenes, the show did not give a complicated vibe. The ending was a bit frustrating though and I felt like there could have been more explanation about how and why things happened, and how their stori...

That's the dilemma shown in Go Back Couple. As a married couple, the lead characters experience a lot of challenges day in and day out.

I feel that they were able to show the realities of what goes on in a marriage and if you're married, you'll probably realize that it's not just you who's going through a difficult time.

Rating: ★★★★☆  Huhu meter: ▮▮▯▯▯ The female lead character (IU) travels back in time to the Goryeo era, gets entangled with the royal family, and falls in love with one (or two) of the princes. Conflicts emerge because of her very unconventional attitude. The good guys loved her and of course, the bad guys hated her. I don't usually watch historical shows but since so many people recommended this, I checked it out. It took a few weeks before I finished Scarlet Heart but overall, I liked it. I think the cast and crew did great. It was beautifully made and they did a fantastic job showing the country's cultural and historical heritage. I loved that there weren't too many heavy scenes so I enjoyed it more than expected. Also, it was amusing to like or dislike a character in the beginning and feel the opposite by the end of the story.
