Signal
There are those who are born monsters, but there are also those who are made into monsters by people.
Created by Kim Eun-hee, Kim Won-suk
On tvN
A dark, high-concept thriller that uses time-bridging communication to interrogate how trauma and corruption create monsters, grounded in procedural investigation but elevated by its metaphysical premise.
Detectives from the present and a detective from the past communicate via walkie-talkie to solve a long-time unsolved case.
