According to a review written by Michelle Dong for Korean website Soompi, “Solving real crimes in the fictional world is very satisfying. But even the fictional elements felt logical and authentic, which make the series even more thrilling to watch.”

She further added, “Lifted on the waves of superb writing and emotionally deep characters, Signal didn’t even need ‘kisses or cringy lines to sweep hearts’ as one fan put it.”
