Tunnel was recommended to me by an MDL friend after I mentioned how much I gravitate toward crime thrillers, and thankfully, it absolutely delivered. Plus, it was really nice seeing Choi JinHyuk again since it’s been a while since I last watched one of his dramas. He fits this type of role so naturally that I got hooked almost immediately.

The premise alone is already interesting. Trying to catch a serial killer across different timelines? Instant intrigue. Watching people from the past and present collide by pure chance made the story even more exciting, even if realistically the probability is ridiculously low. But honestly, that’s part of the charm of fiction. Time travel is always a risky genre for me because the ending can either make everything brilliant or completely fall apart. Thankfully, Tunnel landed somewhere comfortably in the middle. It gave me enough closure to stop myself from spiraling into overanalysis mode. Sure, there are probably dozens of timeline ripple effects left unanswered, but I’m willing to look past them for the sake of the overall experience.

What surprised me most is that despite revolving around serial killings, it never felt unbearably heavy. Somehow, the drama still carried warmth and comfort beneath all the suspense. It kept me engaged without leaving me emotionally drained or paranoid afterward, which honestly feels rare for this genre. If you’re looking for a crime thriller with an interesting twist that’s thrilling without becoming emotionally exhausting, I’d definitely recommend Tunnel.
