4. The emotional range

What's clear from the first two episodes is that Signal isn't just a thriller. The characters all have their own backstories, and the show is already tugging at my heartstrings. Lest you think the series is all heavy doom and gloom, however, there are just enough humorous moments to lighten the series without seeming silly. If you have friends or family members who believe K-dramas are only fluffy romantic comedies or soapy melodramas, this is your chance to prove them wrong!

While we're talking about emotions, can I just give a shoutout to the OST? The music in this thing is insanely wonderful, and the opening credits made me want to cry before I even knew what was happening.

5. The award-winning team

If you're going to watch a simulcast with a friend, you want to make sure the quality doesn't drop off halfway through the series. Fortunately, we're in capable hands with this one! Kim Won Suk won Best Director at the Baeksang Arts Awards for his last series, the massive hit Misaeng. Writer Kim Eun Hee is no slouch, either, penning other popular thrillers like Three Days and Sign.
