Tunnel is a very good watch that recommends itself well enough . It’s cast is compelling , it’s story dynamic and it’s themes full bodied .

There’s absolutely nothing bankrupt about Tunnel. In fact , it’s quite the enriching experiencing . I learnt quite a lot about criminology and the psyche of killers and I also saw a full illustration of how loss can vividly affect the overall human experience which made Tunnel touching.

The plot / story is quite convincing too for a crime show . The crimes depicted ,though fantastical ,are humbly solved with intention and compassion and I applaud Tunnel for not going overboard in the miracle antics that law enforcement tend to have in shows and movies . We see the police fail , make bad calls and attain bitter sweet triumph.It made the drama quite down to earth and approachable .

I did find components of the cast quite heavy handed and that didn’t balance well with the humility that Tunnel was going for . Choi Jin Hyuk’s Park Kwang Ho was grating and overbearing whilst Lee Yo Young’s Shin Jae was irritatingly complacent in the face acting department. However , Yoon Hyun Min’s Kim Seon Jae was AHMAZING . Beautifully acted and emotively employed . I look forward to seeing him in dramaland . The supporting cast was near perfect too.

On the other hand , its use of flash backs was not seamlessly done and it did get weary in the end almost veering on sloppy . The time travel mechanics were decent enough and realistic with what they were working with and the plot unraveling and twists were exciting !

OVERALL- it’s a decent watch with flaws and all but it at least says something!
