Tunnel looks interesting. I mean…Choi Jin Hyuk…but the time travel aspect with police could be interesting. I’ve mentioned before crime of the week doesn’t do much for me but from the description it sounds like it will be focused on a catching the killer from the past.

Exactly! Choi Jin Hyuk plus time travel was enough to get me on board. But yes, I don’t care for the crime of the week either, so here’s hoping everything’s nicely connected with the serial killer story as well as an interesting time travel premise.

Definitely looking forward to Tunnel too. Love the cast and the time travel premise. It is always hard to keep up though! Did you ever get to finish Goblin?

No, I know I am terrible right? But..I am hoping to finish it the coming week. I absolutely love the show, so it is not that. It is really time and I am currently helping someone who is going through a very rough time, which at times is pretty rough for me as well. But, no worries, I will finish it, and a review will definitely follow 😀

I understand. There are always things that just have to come first, and being a support for someone can be very difficult and tiring even in the best of circumstances. Just do the best you can, and I hope things improve for you both. Dramas will always wait and be there whenever you’re ready 🙂
