Non stop action!
This is the movie for you who like over the top-non stop action. Don't think too much and just enjoy the ride.Want a solid story? Forget that, Carter is more like "The Raid" - its truly ALL about the action.
Carter has some of the craziest action scenes ever made and the camera work is absolutely insane. I was blown away. I wonder how the heck they even filmed many of the scenes, they must be wizards or something. The CG was obvious at times but it still didn't look cheap, and remember this isn't a 200 million dollar Hollywood production.
I can see it becoming the next Korean production everyone talks about globally, that's how iconic i found this movie to be. Good job and congratulations to everyone involved!
(⚠️ It has full frontal nudity and brutal throat stabbing etc)
9/10 from me, a must watch if you like intense over the top stupid fun non stop action!

Wants to be everything but ends up lackluster and half-baked
This drama probably sounded amazing on paper but didn't really work out in my opinion.The good parts were some of the philosophical dialogue, cinematography and intriguing opening episode. This is the drama that wanted to be "everything" but ended up doing "everything" half-baked. The main couple was okay and had some cute scenes but nothing that stands out compared to other dramas, the side characters were not that interesting overall and you wonder why some characters (that got pretty much screen time) even were in the drama in the first place... The biggest letdown though is the mystery which was a big part of the marketing campaign and main trailer. I would even call what they did with it pathetic, just ughh. Except the premise I swear the plot was written while it was being filmed and the writer got lost/didn't know what to do with it halfway through, a pattern that's sadly common in kdramaland.
On top of this the pacing was overall pretty slow and even boring at times. It also has a lot of filler scenes so you will need patience and energy to get through most of the episodes (unless you are a huge fan of the actors). At last its impressive how the writer somehow managed to implement almost EVERY SINGLE cheesy kdramaland-trope in this drama.
Both the ML and FL have better dramas so don't get me wrong I like the actors but this one really missed the mark for me. If you are in the middle of watching and feel bored you can easily drop it imo.

First of all, Tunnel is not as good as Signal, but it comes very close. Both Signal and Tunnel have their own ups and downs - while Signal has slightly better writing when it comes to the "time travel", Tunnel has more emotion to it, which makes you care more about the characters and what happens to them.
Tunnel is an addictive roller coaster ride from the first to last episode. It is full of excellent twists, acting and even some feel-good bromance. What more could you ask for?! Some people say the writing got worse towards the end, but I didn't particularly think so. The writers really did an excellent job and the ending is great as well, full of emotion.
Don't get me wrong, I know there are some flaws but this is a production meant to entertain people, and for me this is a 10/10 in entertainment value, and therefore I give it an overall 10/10. I had SO much fun with Tunnel and I already look forward to the staff's next drama, which I hope will be another thriller.
Simply brilliant!
Don't hesitate to give Tunnel a chance, you won't regret it!
