Well...the first few episodes were just pure suffering, but I have read in the comments that the drama really starts after the first 3 episodes. So I was waiting and waiting for the drama to get better, but I am still waiting. 😁 For me, it was not worth the wait. I did not like the male lead as he was very annoying, and the story/plot is nothing special and was not executed very well. I was still waiting for a miracle to happen, but I gave up at episode 8 and dropped the drama.
The story is very captivating, and I did not get bored. The first episodes were so funny, and I laughed so hard. It is a shame it didn't hold up throughout the whole drama. I love the storyline and how they built a great team to catch the bad guys and find the missing. It is nice to see how they unfolded the main case and the connections between characters, even if the story is predictable. I like that you get to know the story of each character. I thought it would be more fantasy, but the fantasy/mystery part is not that big in the drama. The only negative was the editing, as it went suddenly from one scene to another, without knowing what is going on. I definitely recommend it as the concept is new. I cannot wait to watch season 2!
I am glad that I stopped making decisions based on ratings or comments, as this drama is great! I watched *Before Sunrise* first, and I think it helped me understand the characters better. I was hooked from the first episode, and it maintained the same pace until the end. I was also on the edge of my seat the whole time. It starts as a beautiful story of a couple in love and their journey to create a Joseon and a monarch who would serve the people, not power. I wish they had made the drama longer so we could see the full story of their journey. Sometimes I did not realize there was a time jump and got confused. It was heartbreaking to see how he treated her, despite still loving her. She helped him become king so he could fulfill his dream of a Joseon. Also, because of his actions and queen's support, he could prepare the foundation for a greater king. The last episode made me tearful. Towards the end, you understand why he eliminated so many people, as it is hard to start anew if there is still corruption and others desire power. It shows the true life behind the golden gate. Once you are in, you cannot get out alive. Despite all the killing he is famous for, he was a good king who did so much for the people; shame they could not include it all in the drama. The acting was amazing, especially Joo Young and Hyun Woon; they slayed their roles. Also the production is great. Overall, it is a great realistic historical drama that will not disappoint you. I could not give it high rating as it did not leave the same impact as My Dearest, Under the Queens umbrella, The tale of lady Ok.
This is masterpiece lol. Give me some recommendations so I will see what kind of taste you got.

I started this drama because I love *Signal*, which is a masterpiece, and a lot of people were comparing it to that. To be honest, *Tunnel* has a long way to go to be on the same/similar level as *Signal*.
The first few episodes were hard to get into, but after that, I was hooked and on the edge of my seat and could not stop watching as the storyline was so interesting. It was a rollercoaster, and I loved it. Saying that, from episode 12, it gets kind of slow, and I was losing interest as they kept dragging the story with unnecessary twists. How the police could be so stupid and some dialogues didn't make sense. I wish they had made the drama shorter. The acting was okayish.
Also, they could have executed the ending a little better. I would love to see a flashback to the future to see how things changed.
Overall, it is a good watch as I loved the storyline, but it is a shame that it could have been a great drama if they had made it a 12-episode drama.
Many kdramas have the same problem. They make it way too long, full with flashbacks and needless over repeating.…
I have not seen Just between lovers. I will put it on my long watch list 🙂 I think shorter dramas are better quality nowadays but of course there are exceptions.
The drama kept me hooked at the beginning, but I have started losing interest after nine episodes. I wish they would make it shorter and not drag it to sixteen episodes. The drama is very predictable and sometimes hard to watch, but I have enjoyed it. I tried to finish the drama a few times, but sadly I skipped to the last episode as I could not carry on. It is a shame as I like Jun Ho, especially in *Red Sleeve*.
I just couldn't get into it. It didn't keep my attention as I kept wandering around instead of watching the drama. After three episodes, I decided to drop it as watching all sixteen episodes is too much. The drama is overrated.
It was so hard for me to keep watching. I just could not get into it. The story is unique, but for me, not well executed. The story kept repeating itself, and the characters are not very likeable, except for I Na; she is my favorite. The male lead is just running around acting like a douchebag, which is very annoying. I had no connection with the characters and did not care what would happen.
And, to be honest, the acting is nothing special. I did not like the execution of the time travel, the cinematography, or the OST; I hated it—it is terrible.
I tried, but I am dropping the drama midway. To be honest, I do not understand how the rating can be so high when there are much better shows with lower ratings.
This drama is a rollercoaster of emotions, and you never know what is going to happen next. There are so many twists and plots that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Despite the episodes being very long, I did not get bored. I finished the drama in one week. The pacing was just right—not too slow, not too fast.
The cinematography is great, as is the storyline. It is a very sad story of a slave who has to go through countless hardships to survive. I cannot even imagine how hard it must have been to live in the Joseon era. Also, the drama makes you laugh, as the servant team is just hilarious. I love how strong their bond is, and they always protect each other. The romance is great, and you will be rooting for them.
I loved the acting; everyone did a great job, but Young Woo was amazing. The way he played two characters… he slayed!
Also, I think the last episode was rushed, as everything was solved in the last 30 minutes. And without spoiling it, I did expect a different ending for him.
Finally, after *My Dearest*, there is another great historical drama. To be honest, it is not on the same level, but it is pretty good. I am surprised that it is not very popular, and it is a shame more people do not talk about it.
The drama was captivating, so I watched it in two days. Luckily, it is only six episodes. It's a nice concept that has been well-executed. I could not help but feel that sometimes the fighting scenes with the parasites seemed funny. I liked the ML and FL; they were a good team. The policewoman can be sometimes quite annoying, but she comes around at last.
I didn't see the magma, but the story makes sense without that knowledge. Overall, it is a good watch if you have spare time, but nothing special.
It has the best intro, love it! The drama is spot-on; it's bang, bang, bang..... action. ...medical surgery....humor (anus/no1)😀 . The pace is perfect; it's straight to the point, not wasting time with unnecessary plots and dialogues. I think it works so well because it has only eight episodes, and everything is sorted in a few minutes.
I was hooked from the beginning, and the drama went so fast. I finished it in one sitting. I love how Ji Hoon portrayed his character; he slayed the role (I read an interview in which he had a few conflicts with the director as he tried to put his ideas on how the comics should be conveyed as a drama), so I think he deserves credit for its success as well.
Also, I love how he slowly built his trauma team even when everyone and everything was against him. The acting is superb, as is the cinematography. I hope we will have another season soon.
It is a mature drama about relationships without sugarcoating. I was hooked from the start and could not stop watching it. The storytelling is great, as you will find out more about their past in each episode and understand them more. I don't know why the comments are so negative. I really like the drama.
The acting is amazing. Also, the production and cinematography are great. They did a great job with casting, as Hyun Jin and Gong Yoo are a perfect fit. I love their chemistry and the way they communicate with each other.
It will make you long for them and hope for him to get away from the toxic relationship. It will make your blood boil as well as it will make you happy to see glimmers of hope.
I recommend watching it if you want to see something totally different from a rom-com.
To be honest, I had a hard time staying focused as the drama did not interest me, but I stayed because the reviews and comments were good.
I did not like the acting of Nam Joo and Eun Woo. Their facial expressions said it all. It has an interesting storyline, but it is not executed very well. Also, the flashbacks were very annoying. Not sure why the director needed to put them in every episode; you always see the same story from the past. So I lost interest and decided not to force myself to watch and dropped the drama.
I think the drama is very popular because of Eun Woo, but his acting is still not there. He is just not a gifted actor like others, so he will have to work hard to improve.
The only negative was the editing, as it went suddenly from one scene to another, without knowing what is going on.
I definitely recommend it as the concept is new. I cannot wait to watch season 2!
