this is a really really well done article! Big Congrats for your hard work!
Also, I love your line with the "having to know when to stop" theme. That's actually really a smart idea! But it is hard to know when that moment is. I keep on hoping that the next episode will be better....and then the next...and next....and suddenly it's over
Alright so episode 8 and half time of the season and I gotta say from the stories and cases it was quite well done. Sometimes a little illogical but generally very interesting and emotional cases. Oh Ha Joon is a nice addition with quite a mystical appearance. Acting is of course as always top notch. But I really really really miss the team dynamic. I truly wish they'd start to focus more on the team and less on the cases, or intertwine both. Episode 1 opened with Kim DoGi and some flashbacks, I kinda hoped we'd dive into that more but so far.....nada. And the same goes for the other characters. Then also the "punishment" of the offenders. I loved that in season 1 you wondered sometimes if they didn't go too far with their type of punishment. The police procedure was quite interesting on a philosophical part, like how much self judgement is ok and should you even do that to begin with. I sometimes feel like the criminals are not really punished per say. Eg. case in episode 5-6 where you really wished for some legal punishment too but.....nada. So for now its nice but I really hope to see more improvement in the next 8 episodes....from the preview it doesn't seem like ep 9 will go into that direction yet but maybe the episodes following? Hopefully hopefully. .....I'd love to see more of the team building and dynamic, more of their past and also maybe more with Oh Ha Joon and his story and less of random revenge plots.
I am not a judge but I don't understand why people think something is okay just because it's legal in their country.…
I agree with you but I still think that help is something we need to think of first. Drug abuse is something that is often linked with mental health problems and I do think that especially in the entertainment industry that is a huge huge huge problem.
I feel Episode 6 didn't explain how the real estate consultant got all those luxury apartments using the children…
didn't get that part either. Nor why he had to have so many kids for that. Honestly I think they should have gone a little bit darker with the whole case. it would have made more sense but wello maybe they had to change the direction of the episode and tune it down?
Well done episode and a nice cliffhanger ending that leaves room for a lot of storylines this season! I really liked this weeks episode. But what I don't truly understand is, is why couldn't one of the three in the van help Kim Do Gi when he was trapped in that burning house. That made not a lot of sense for me in regards to logic but wello.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH Kim Eun Hee is the screenwriter!!!! I will definitely give it a go but I truly wish she would also work on a S2 for Signal........you know people are waiting for that one for years now ---

6,5/10
that's kinda the problem.
I cannot wait! finally something is happening after 9 episodes of only cases
I honestly think s1 had more romantic vibes between them than this season had so far.
But I really really really miss the team dynamic. I truly wish they'd start to focus more on the team and less on the cases, or intertwine both.

These are two of his most famous and best roles.

I can highly recommend Better Days, Making Family and Lighting up the Stars
these are such precious gems of movies
will definitely give it a go but I truly wish she would also work on a S2 for Signal........you know people are waiting for that one for years now ---
