Train

I didn't expect to like this series at all, but decided to watch it as it has the same lead actor as "Psychopath Diary". I wasn't disappointed and found this show entertaining.

This show has a relatively unique plot (similar to "Tunnel" or "Signal" but this time across universes). Unlike the American "Fringe" which also deals with multiple universes, this series stays very human and character-driven, and doesn't go off into a technical apocalyptic dystopia like so many US shows.

The lead character cast is strong and their performances are outstanding.

I like how they made the point of little decisions, when accumulated, leading us on vastly different life paths.

The show does suffer from a few unfortunate tropes though:

• Endless flashback to literally the same memories, and overlapping episode endings/beginnings. I found myself becoming good friends with the "skip" button. There's probably a few episodes worth of literally 100% repeated footage.

• The standard thriller tricks of a character going to explore abandoned buildings at night, in the dark, after learning that the armed criminal is there, without telling anyone where they're going or asking for backup. This cliche appears so much because that's what normal humans apparently do, right?

• A bit over-dramatic for my tastes at times. These endless hard stares, criminals monologuing for minutes on end before pressing the trigger, protagonists turning their backs on wounded enemies to cry and hug so the enemies could attack them again or escape, statements full of pathos, it's all here.

Overall, an excellent experience which could have been made much tighter by eliminating 90% of repetitions.

I enjoyed this series more than I expected. The plot is gripping from start to finish. I was constantly wondering what will happen next. Of all the Korean dramas I've watched, able to maintain an atmosphere of suspense with an intricate and interesting plot is rare. Most series seem to lose its suspense or begin to drag on with inconsist story progression or stupid character decision. Train surpringly managed to overcome some of these elements and keep its pace. Though some of the scenerios are very dramatic and is melodramatic, but the mysterious atmosphere kept me glued to the screen.

Overall really enjoyed it as it is very thrilling.

Holy shit how is this drama so underrated?? It has a fantastic script, characters, actors, soundtrack, filming etc. I really enjoyed this. It's probably one of my favourite sci-fi/crime kdramas. Excellent acting form Yoon Siyoon also. Wooowwwwww. Don't give this one a miss. That's all I can say.

I must admit that I was confused during the first five or so episodes but was intrigued enough to stay with it.

I am happy I did because the story began to unravel and make sense after that. Much suspension of disbelief is required but then again, this is a sci fi/fantasy show so a lot of creative license was used.

Actors turned in good performances. I last saw the female lead as half of the second couple in Weightlifting Kim Bok-joo. Male lead in this show was very convincing as good cop/bad cop. This show is recommendable to those who love suspense, crime, whodunnit shows.

12 episodes were well-utilized. The team thought well enough not to force 16 episodes out if this.

Not kidding i don't want this drama to end. Oh my god, i have watched like 50 korean dramas, in fact, more. The direction is fine but the story really is the hero. The actor in the lead role does it so well. It is a treat to watch it.
