What a perfect balance. Once case ends and the new one begins. The first case is solved and brings up many moral dilemmas. The man killed 11 girls, but it's true what Hae Yeong said, "Some people are born monsters and others become monsters because of other people." Despite that I felt and understood the killer. Which is where the true power of any good writing hits home. But it doesn't just bring up the morals of a killer, but when Hae Yeong had the chance to give the name of the killer over to Jae Han. The fear of exchanging the lives of those girls heavy on his mind.
I honestly appreciated the reflection. Things work out, as far as we know. So it makes Hae Yeong not hesitate about the In Joo case. Though considering his conviction about finding out the truth behind his brothers wrongful imprisonment and death there's no way he wouldn't want to do some rewriting of history. So I found his conviction to let the serial killer not be caught in the past interesting, and a bit of a double standard.
Again this episode beautiful blends the timeline. The present and the past are becoming scary. I really worry about Hae Yeong. He knows Jae Han was wrongfully accused and then went missing. Why would he not be a little more worried? Especially since it seems to have some kind of connection to the In Joo case? Which I'm pretty sure Hae Yeong noticed the date of when Jae Han went missing. With this ending I'm really nervous about how the bad guys are going to spin the story. Like framing Hae Yeong. Things are going to be super intense from here.
(Fun little note I loved how all of the guys in the squad, in the past, new about Soo Hyun's crush. When she left the room and they all quite pretending to be ignoring her so they can gossip about her and Jae Han! Too funny!)
Overall I'm eager to see detective Jae Han and Hae Yeong's brother saved. I remember the dramatic ending of Frequency, and boy do I want a spectacular repeat with Signal.

Cheap pun I know, but the fire storm of emotions this episode made me have. I cried, I know they can probably save that person because they're a main character, but my goodness this episode was intense.
I know I complained about another story hitting so close to home with Jae Han, but at least the writer is doing everything in her power to make it A-mazing. Its hitting hard just how dangerous and unpredictable changing the past can be. The ramifications of not just killing people in the past (we don't' know if that little girl and her father would have died together on the bus or not, or if the girl would have lived), but killing people in the future.
For the sake of not spoiling anything I won't go into depth. Trust me though, you're going to want to be able to watch the next episode immediately! A life is on the line.

The writing for this show is truly top knotch. However, I didn't like that the next case twisted around affecting people Jae Han knows again. It's just too sloppy that it happened AGAIN and that things fall the same way. I well say it hits home how careful Hae Yeong needs to be. Jae Han hasn't seen the truth of what happened in the future. Hae Yeong is cautious because of the people who died in 2015, but he doesn't truly understand how dangerous it all is.
I'm still very curious as to when we're gong to get the full story about Hae Yeong's bother. The build up is intense.
I love how well Signal is pulling together. We get flashbacks to when Jae Han is getting the transmissions, Soo Hyun's flashbacks about Jae Han, and Hae Yeong's teasing flashbacks. Right from the beginning Signal has been ambitious and the writing and stories have nailed it.
Though I would like to have not every case somehow be linked or involved to Jae Han on a personal level. Signal is very character driven, but it doesn't need to be lazy. Make them work for the cases more, and quit making me have to watch poor Jae Han cry because of the loved ones he's constantly losing!

Dear My Friends Episode 12

Each episode since 9 has been packing such an emotional wallop! The depth of these peoples lives is beautiful. I loved the sleepover with all of the Aunts. It was so cute and heartwarming. I really hope that there are people like this that keep having childish fun. Ages is just a number. Not to mention keeping these friendships throughout such long lives.
Again this episode masterfully expands upon everyone's story. I can't be happier.
Hee Ja's fate has be worried. Not to mention the cliffhanger with Nan Hee and her mom at the hospital. I also love the message of ignorance being no excuse. That people change and they don't take the time to reflect on their actions. I don't know what is going to happen between Suk Kyoon and Jung Ah. But I'm rooting for them.
While I've been foolish enough to say Choong Nam needs a man in past reviews, I think she is already happy. She's chosen her life and it's great to see how much she cares for everyone.
This, for me, is definitely one of the top shows of 2016.

Mirror of the Witch Episode 10
1 people found this review helpful
Have to give it to the writer, this show never lets up. Wow, events and twists. One after another. Boom, big bomb dropped. Only to have another one dropped.
Though I have to admit I hate how last episode Hyun Seo was all: Seo Ri can save herself and all of us! Now he's switched too the "one acting as the boundary can save her" AND "true love can only save her." *sighs* It was a lovely dream, but I guess I'm just left to see how it will all play out.
Mad props the director for keeping Mirror of the Witch looking so good! There was some serious magical affects going on and they looked great. Not to mention the costume design and look of each scene is always on point.
I am disappointed to where things went with Sol Gae, Poong Yeon's apprentice/helper. Don't get me wrong I had kind of figured it, but I was just so excited by her character that I wanted more! More I tell you!
Another great episode. I am so pleased to have more of Seo Ri and Heo Jun! They're developing into characters you can really get behind, and if they're going to introduce this whole true love thing I'm gonna have to by both Heo Jun and Poon Yeon's affection at some point.
Warning to viewers: This one has a crazy cliffhanger.

What a cute episode! I love Bo and Yoa's interactions together. Not to mention Zi Yu's freiendly chat with Yoa. I love that he wants to help Bo out so much, but that he also is a friend of Yoa's.
This was a very cute episode and I love the character connections that are forming. Not to mention that it's out in the open that Yoa and Bo are courting each other.

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 10
1 people found this review helpful
Dan Tae is an odd fellow and that's why we love him. Man Beautiful Gong Shim is tearing me apart with the love triangle and bromance. At first I didn't want Dan Tae to win the girl because Joon Soo was clearly the better guy. But now they've both developed and they're both worthy. >_< It's all so magical.
I'm a little disappointed that the secret of what happened to Joon Pyo is being dragged out this way. However, the writer is doing an excellent job masking it all behind Dan Tae finding out who hurt his dad and so on. The problem is WE already know what happened, so a lot of the suspense has been taken out.
Thankfully this was another emotionally driven episode. We get to see Dan Tae being savvy and smooth in his own odd way. Strangely enough I feel like Gong Shim took a bit of a back seat as this was more Dan Tae's episode. We see her feeling more clearly and I'm sure I'll be happy with the out comes. I really hope that Joon Soo and Dan Tae get more time together. Every time they were this episode I loved it.
Gong Mi has really fallen in the background these past two episodes. We see her lurking, but she's stalled out. It was interesting seeing her parents talking frankly about her greed and that maybe she should chill out. They starting to see both their children a bit more clearly.
Another fun episode! I hope Gong Shim can find another job soon though!

Love Me If You Dare Episode 4

After 4 episodes I'm definitely sticking this drama out. I really like the mesh of my favorite crime shows from the US with drama land additions and twists to the plot. It's this magical feeling!
I'm very curious as to whom the picture taker is. Either a serial killer that is obsessed with Bo, or a government agency. My guess would be whoever chained him up in the first episode flashbacks! I do love a good build up.
I loved the look on Jian Yao's face when she saw the father and sun reunite. In the end I know she'll choose to stay on as Bo's assistant, but I loved her take on events. So I look forward to watching the process as she finally decides to take the job.
Overall a great episode and I love the character interactions that the writers have created. Especially as the actors execute them. Love Me if You Dare is one of those rare treats that creates excellent chemistry with its cast and develops the characters. I suppose at this point it can be considered a slow drama, but it makes up for it in the build up of the world and characters.

Lucky Romance Episode 6
1 people found this review helpful
Wow, this was an intense episode. With the IF project time line coming to an end, not to mention Bo Nui needs to find a Tiger and catch him. ^_- Thing is the situation is crazy dangerous. Meeting a total stranger and trusting them to just keep it to sex and hopefully the sex is vanilla!
Su Ho was right, and he saved her more than once. But you can't help but feel for Bo Nui and her stupid actions. She knows it's crazy, but she will do anything for her sister.
I really love that aspects of the side characters as they all interact with eahtoher. I am shipping people now! Even a couple characters with multiple girls! I just can't decide who I ship more.
Su Ho is bordering on one of those jerk leads. He's saved her from her own stupidity, but I feel like he's doing it in a cruel way. Not to mention that he wanted answers from Bo Nui, who's more than willing to give answers, but cuts her off and then just insults her. He is judging her.
I suppose a man like Su Ho needs to figure it out for himself. Though he is given the answer, so I feel like he should at some point really communicate with Bo Nui.
Because, I won't lie, I'm feeling the chemistry between Bo Nui and Su Ho. But they honestly haven't had that much interactions with each other. When they are interacting it's mostly yelling at each other! What I have now is a serious case of second lead syndrome. Gary (Gary Choi/Gun Wook) has my heart in this romance. The moments the two have been beautifully played out and Lee Soo Hyuk as Gary stole my heart. Not to mention that both Bo Nui and Gary have not only been developed, but have the most development thus far.
The ending cliffhanger was so cruel. I'm pretty sure that Su Ho is not there for a quickie. If they writers really go this far this early, my hats off to them. It will make for a very interesting drama. One way or another I'm captivated by this drama and it's characters. I feel like things may go for a tragic twist . . . my speculations will be in my feeds update.

Lucky Romance Episode 5
1 people found this review helpful
Lucky Romance is definitely growing on me. The love that Bo Nui has for her sister is staggering. It hit me while I was watching that all of her superstitions and craziness about sleeping with a man born of the tiger, is because she needs to hold on desperately to the belief that her sister will wake up. She knows it all sounds crazy, but if her doing all that could some how help her sister she would do it. Truly that depth of love is beautiful. It may be a gimmick for the show, but in this episode the writer, director, and actress made me believe it. ;_;
On the butterfly talisman, I thought the shaman said it was for protecting Su Ho from Bo Nui's unluckiness? So the shaman is lying? If all the superstitions are to believe is the Shaman scamming her, or trying to sneakily help?
The story and cast is really growing on me. They all play off of each other well. Despite myself I have definitely fallen for this drama, it's addicting. Not to mention that it is making me laugh as the humor finds it's self, want to cry with Bo Nui, and have a good time. It's crazy, all of it! That's part of it's charm and I think episode 5 pulls all of the craziness together to create a solid episode.

What games are Choong Nam playing? She was ready to step out on the her fancy of Sung Jae because she didn't really want a man that bad, or at least him. I think her nephew is right, she's bored!
What a great episode. While it left us in a cliffhanger about Park Wan and Nan Hee, it did build up the suspense quite well.
Overall another solid episode. I love watching the relationships unfold. There were so many wonderful heartfelt moments. Not to mention that I love the music for this drama, especially how well it's used.

It's coming the face off between Park Wan and Nan Hee. Personally I'm on Park Wan's side and adherently hope she tells her off. I hate it when people go sneaking and lurking to find out what they want. Instead of simply asking that person face to face. If Nan Hee does something foolish (like the previews are showing) she could damage her daughter's reputation and lose her her job!
Overall I thought this episode was grand. Suk Kyoon and Sung Jae had some great fun getting revenge for Suk Kyoon's daughter. I love the music that accompanied them. Sung Jae is annoying me with this love triangle game he's playing. Clearly he knows Hee Ja is his main goal, and he likes that she's saying know. Poor Choong Nam is the back up. I'm excited at the prospect of Choong Nam facing him and telling Sung Jae off.
The funeral was lovely and moving, and I had never thought of the fact that as an older person losing your parent you become an orphan. It's true, everyone has to grieve their parent at some point.
Dear My Friends is turning out to be a potent show of raw emotions. I love the cast here, especially the decades long friendships and histories. I for one am thrilled for wherever this show takes me. (And I wonder if Min Ho will be on man patrol for his mother? ^_-) It also breaks my heart that Suk Kyoon is doing what he can to fix his mistake and to help his daughter, but has he truly waited to long to change?
Well I'm off to what is going to be one dramatic episode.

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 8
1 people found this review helpful
Since the hide and seek game we've known what kind of self esteem Gong Shim has. (Well, honestly since before then.) She picked the garbage to hide in. So it breaks my heart after watching her stand up for herself, and me basically falling in love with her episode after episode, to see her still not proud of herself.
It's amazing that Beautiful Gong Shim is not taking it's time. The best part are the men aren't wishy-washy. They know their feelings, so there's no dancing back and forth between two women. I felt the sincerity of Dan Tae and Joon Soo.
I think the bigger arc is coming into play, and roles may reverse. I wonder if Gong Shim will go and there will be a two year time jump? While I normally hate time jumps (as it usually means the writing gets of course or the writer(s) ran out of ideas) I think it might be a cool concept for this show. Though why did she change to horticulture? I thought she wanted to go to Italy to paint? Though, you can always have two passions. I love plants/flowers too, so I feel you Gong Shim!
Either way I loved this episode! Gong Shim's mom stands up for her in a glorious fashion, and I'm so proud after how they treated her at the beginning. Gong Mi is still evil, glad her sister quit because her working there went against her grand plan. I really hope Gong Mi can change. The sheer honesty of Joon Soo, Dan Tae, and Gong Shim's emotions was absolutely movie this episode. I love that this episode, and the entire show, brings up the value of ones self and inner beauty. This show has some of the most wonderful male leads and my favorite female lead.
Probably why this is currently the best show airing. At least from what I'm currently watching.

A step up from the first episode. At least it's actually laying down the plot and foundation for the show. So it will not only be about Bo Nui's superstition, but a common goal of software designing and gaming. I'll admit it's original. Don't forget that Gary Choi is a professional tennis player, and I will give the writers props for making it all come together. (Please, like Gary won't be one of the game idols?)
Overall it's a step in the write direction. I don't want to dump the show right now, but it still has a long way to come.
It's crazy I find Hwang Jung Eum totally stunning to look at. No really, when ever she has a quiet scene where she's not talking I'm enthralled. I'm literally thinking "Man she's a beautiful woman!" But there's something I find off putting about her character, Bo Nui. I'm glad that the tragic events and her belief that she is bad luck hasn't made her dark, scary, angry, and so on. But I think part of the disconnect is that I am not a superstitious person and believe fully that her shaman is tricking her. AND! I don't care for overly . . . scatter brained characters. Phones in the fridge is cute, vomiting everywhere, bodily fluids shared, crazy drunk moments, and way too much over the top stuff!
Maybe I'll click with her later, but for now the writing hasn't done much to develop her. Oh, I've got an idea.
The rest of the cast of main characters is stunning to look at! I really enjoy them. The acting isn't anything to phone home about, but it's not bad either.
I think what I'm really having trouble with is the writing. I love humor and fun, but I don't like a mess. Good writing is always a must, even if the drama is wacky. Which so far that is what Lucky romance is. I will be giving this series 4 episodes to impress me. I enjoy the cast of actors and I like the idea that the writer of the original comic is writing the show. (Though I never read them.)
Fighting!

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 6

Man I'd be so ticked at Dan Tae's antics if he wasn't so darn cute!! It's strange normally I'd be very annoyed against Dan Tae: he's aggressive, possisive, tricking the Gong Shim for attention, and so on.
However, it really works for Dan Tae's character. To behonest I get where he is coming from. He's realized that he likes Gong Shim, but he's too awkward and inexperienced to get her to notice. Because Gong Shim is socially awkward. Not to mention that she thinks she dislikes Dan Tae and is trying to woo Joon Soo.
So this is the episode that's making this love square even more of a reality. I truly feel bad for Gong Mi. But she makes it hard for me to take her side. She's scheming again and I'm worried about poor sweet Joon Soo.
I enjoyed the Butterfly reveal this episode (that slow motion scene where the woman is hit by the truck is really creeping me out). I wonder when the Butterfly will be officially discovered? I'm looking forward to the reveal, I love a good plot to take over the company! Good thing Soon Cheon is a crafty woman. Though I really wish she'd treat Joon Soo better. She could have him on her side in a heart beat!
On that note I loved the gag real at the end of this episode in place of the previews. He's eating the straw!
However, it really works for Dan Tae's character. To behonest I get where he is coming from. He's realized that he likes Gong Shim, but he's too awkward and inexperienced to get her to notice. Because Gong Shim is socially awkward. Not to mention that she thinks she dislikes Dan Tae and is trying to woo Joon Soo.
So this is the episode that's making this love square even more of a reality. I truly feel bad for Gong Mi. But she makes it hard for me to take her side. She's scheming again and I'm worried about poor sweet Joon Soo.
I enjoyed the Butterfly reveal this episode (that slow motion scene where the woman is hit by the truck is really creeping me out). I wonder when the Butterfly will be officially discovered? I'm looking forward to the reveal, I love a good plot to take over the company! Good thing Soon Cheon is a crafty woman. Though I really wish she'd treat Joon Soo better. She could have him on her side in a heart beat!
