This is pretty good so far I likes I likes
March 30th, 2017 at 12:44 am
The 1st ep is a lil bit boring as it introduces the characters, but ep 2 is starting to build up the plot. Can’t wait to watch ep 3!
April 1st, 2017 at 8:39 pm
This is my new favourite, interesting👍Especially EP2, it’s like turning to a new page😀
April 2nd, 2017 at 9:23 pm
Wow, just finished watching ep 3, so so good👍Really keeps me in suspense😅
April 4th, 2017 at 11:23 am
I wonder who’s Kwang Ho’s daughter. Is it Jae Yi? Hmm
April 11th, 2017 at 1:13 pm
i’m enjoying this drama esp with choi jin hyuk in it! miss him so much glad that he’s got this role! oppa fighting! sarang hae yo! i wonder why the rating isn’t high, this is a good drama!
April 11th, 2017 at 8:11 pm
I am going to watch soon…… ha ha 😛
April 12th, 2017 at 11:28 pm
This drama is getting more interesting each episode! Can’t wait to watch ep 7
April 14th, 2017 at 9:46 pm
Welcome Back Oppa!
April 15th, 2017 at 8:55 am
Good acting.at first time.i did not like this drama.but from ep 2 it is geting interesting.
April 16th, 2017 at 9:37 pm
This starts out as a good detective drama with the look and feel of Gap Dong, where the strained small town police struggles to keep up with the very smart serial killer. It grows slowly to become a Great drama close to the level of Signal where a detective from the past helps the youngsters in the future. Jin Hyuk is more than eye candy in this one. His reactions when he sees new technology like smart phones are believable.
April 16th, 2017 at 11:00 pm
Very exciting and engaging. Really looking forward to each new episode.
April 18th, 2017 at 4:28 am
huhu the plot. but he doesnt know that he had a child tho. this is a really good drama! RECOMMENDED! If you watched VOICE you will love this too !
April 18th, 2017 at 4:32 pm
I’m excited that I knew it all along that Jae Yi is Kwang Ho’s daughter. I kinda ship Jae Yi and Sun Jae together. I bet Kwang Ho’s gonna approve Sun Jae as his future son-in-law if he goes back to the past.
April 18th, 2017 at 8:56 pm
I like too, good drama, the story, excited me. Really interesting, I’m kind bored to something korean drama romance usually the story same as always.
Bu this time like Signal, kind something plot story. Good drama. Recomend this one.
April 21st, 2017 at 11:07 am
Tunnel is nice because i love crimes and mystery drama. 🙂
Finished watching episodes 8…. looking forward
April 24th, 2017 at 6:03 am
think i know who is real serial killer, it is the post mortem expert Mok Jin-Woo and not Jung Ho-Young episode 9 is awesome ;))))
April 24th, 2017 at 2:22 pm
Arrgh! The main guy gets annoying after a while.
April 24th, 2017 at 2:51 pm
So she finds his daughter.
April 29th, 2017 at 11:58 am
This drama is almost as good as “Voice”. It’s getting more exciting to watch after episode 10.
April 30th, 2017 at 11:54 am
This drama is really good. Best Thriller-drama this 2017. The actors and actress are really good in acting. Also the flow of drama is really really good. You guys should watch this!😍😚
April 30th, 2017 at 11:55 am
Oh yes! I’m right the doctor is the another killer!!
May 1st, 2017 at 1:44 pm
Whoa this drama never fails to impress me! The cliffhanger ending of ep 12 leaves me speechless. I’ve always wanted Kwang Ho to be back to the past to reunite with his wife, but not this way! If I were Kwang Ho, I’d be frustrated for losing the killer for two times already at the same place!
May 2nd, 2017 at 2:09 am
Excellent-Excellent-Excellent!!!
May 2nd, 2017 at 7:12 am
The drama went low IQ when the idiot cop discovers who the killer is and didn’t tell his teammates. Instead, he wasted a lot of time following his whim. Police protocol when followed increases the chance of a successful outcome. He ignored it and went after the killer armed only with his low IQ, a taxi ride and a cell phone turned that’s off but not before the killer phoned him. (facepalm). I suppose he’d use it to threaten the killer with. “Freeze or I’ll text you.”
May 3rd, 2017 at 6:44 pm
omg i like this drama more and more.. the next detective drama after voice that make me say “OH NO!!” in every eps..
May 9th, 2017 at 2:16 am

Good drama….like it.
May 13th, 2017 at 12:14 pm
luv luv this drama n choi jin hyuk rocks! this drama gets better each episode and you just can’t wait till the next one airs again! good plot n it’s just GOOD detective story full of good actors n suspense! HIGHLY recommend this!
May 21st, 2017 at 1:08 pm
How can the cops not up their game and provide protection for Shin Jae Yi, given her abductor is out there? And for a criminologist trained in England; how can she be handling evidence on the crime scene without gloves? Simple things like that undermine the credibility of the drama.
The killer got away from two cops backed by an armada of cop cars which conveniently didn’t think of blocking the rear of the house. Such incompetence is unheard of given the myriads of cop shows we’ve been exposed to over the past several decades. Standard police routines are ignored. Common sense is ignored.
Still, I watch with a sense of being let down somewhat by unnecessary errors in the plot.

Good drama!!

This drama is nicely wrapped. I love the ending, it’s great that Kwang Ho could turn everything back to normal eventhough it’s a lil bit sad that the present people would not know the things happened as the past has changed.
May 28th, 2017 at 2:03 pm
this is my first detective, crime,fantasy krama and it’s really worth watching coz the story and characters are good in their acting.
May 28th, 2017 at 2:54 pm
Reccomended.
May 29th, 2017 at 11:13 pm
synopsis is wrong -kwang ho did not time travel to save his daughter. he just happened to meet his daughter at present time. just finished ep. 10. interesting series.
June 6th, 2017 at 11:44 pm
it’s a good watch. i thought at first that the sociopath killed those women because of his love/hatred for his mother, his mother left him and became the lady of the night, but the guy said he had the mission to kill those who deserved to die, thus i think that’s the reason he also killed those innocent old people.
this is the first time i’ve watched a good casting of the young/old characters: yeon ho and moo jin woo, semblance of facial features.
July 2nd, 2017 at 3:24 pm
I just finished watch this drama. It’s good to watch. This is for people who like a detective drama. I love the unique couple shin jae yi and kim sun jae. And as always, choi jin hyuk is soooooo charming. This is not a romantic drama, but I love it. Thanks the drama writer😊👍

This is a great crime thriller, and I liked the time travel aspects a lot. The actors are all great to go with the compelling story.
