A Quick Recap on K-Drama 'Signal'

The spine-chilling K-drama follows the story of Lee Je Hoon's character Park Hae Yeong, who is a rookie police officer.

Prior to becoming a police officer, he witnessed a young girl being kidnapped in front of his elementary school in broad daylight.

At a young age, he tried to tell the authorities what happened, but no one paid attention to him, which made the young Park Hae Yeong doubt the police.

Fifteen years later, he became a criminal profiler and helped solve cold cases with their lead detective Cha Soo Hyun, played by Kim Hye Soo.

However, he mysteriously finds a walkie-talkie that allows him to contact Detective Lee Jae Han, portrayed by Jo Jin Woong.

Interestingly, the said detective lives in the past.

In K-drama "Signal," both Park Hae Yeong and Lee Jae Han attempt to prevent and solve the crimes by communicating to the device despite living in a different time.
