Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching

 

  HeadsNo2

Tunnel: Really? We’re going to pull a the-killer-is-someone-in-this-room? And then we’re going to advertise who the killer is with a flashing neon sign without even throwing one semi-believable red herring in? Oy. The episodic cases are so completely forgettable that all we’re left with is the overarching mystery, which is sorely lacking in mystery. I like the side characters at least (Yoon Hyun-min is life), but I really do wish I could feel more for the hero. Maybe next week, maybe never.

Tunnel: I’m pleased Sung-jae is starting to realize something’s fishy with his new partner, mostly because I can’t wait until he has to wrap his brain around the fact that Kwang-ho was the same guy that held him when he was a baby. I’m also loving the awkward burgeoning romance between Sung-jae and Jae-yi. Emphasis on the “awkward,†but then again even two damaged robots need someone to love and be loved in return.

 

tipsymocha

Tunnel: I love how Sun-jae and Kwang-ho are slowly but surely (but mostly slowlllyyy) coming together as partners, although the revelation at the end of Episode 6 may put a wrench in that for a while. Speaking of which, my interest in young Kwang-ho’s story just upped several notches, and now I’m tapping my foot impatiently for the next episode. Can’t wait to see what twists and turns Tunnel has in store for the main mystery, ’cause the crimes of the day aren’t nearly as twisty and turny as I’d like. Although the last episode did have a good one, mostly because I’m irrationally afraid of identity theft, and so the chills were real.

Tunnel writer Lee Eun Mi: "I am confident that in the world we live in today, this drama will be a meaningful work"

(Interview via Chosun)
 

 
Q: Why did you use the time slip element?
 
A: The time slip was necessary to our story. The fact that Kwangho came from 30 years in the past is the most important element in the story. 
 
Why did he come to 2017, and will he be able to get back to the past. You'll have to watch and see.
 
Q: How different is Tunnel from other dramas, what will make it attract attention?
 
A: Choi Jin Hyuk plays the character of Kwangho. He is a detective hell bent on saving people. But these days with the current science behind criminal investigations, there might not be need for people like Kwangho to catch criminals. 
 
So I really wanted people with his mindset running around in 2017. 
 
I thought that in our world right now, it's not that we cannot save people, it's that we do not?
 
Q: Why did you choose specifically the image of a "tunnel"?
 
A: When you go out of the tunnel, I thought that the unfolding of a totally different world would go well with the beginning of our drama. 
 
Also, I chose the spatial image of a tunnel that goes from darkness to light, because in my opinion, it illustrates perfectly the theme of the drama.

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Tunnel - Drama" Episode 7

 

It is revelations galore in episode seven of "Tunnel - Drama" as the modern Gwang-ho's connection to our leads becomes clearer. Gwang-ho's identity is compromised as Seon-jae refuses to let go. Meanwhile, hidden parts of Jae-i's past are about to make their entrance, and it looks like Gwang-ho's protective behavior towards her is exactly what surely many of us will have guessed it to be by now.

 

Birth secrets are a Korean drama staple, so I am not surprised to see one here. Given how obvious it has been made through Gwang-ho's (Choi Jin-hyuk) behavior, Jae-i (Lee Yoo-young) being his daughter is old news. They might as well be spoon-feeding it to us now with a hefty side of dumplings. What interests me more is Jae-i's past and seemingly repressed memories. Yeon-sook (Lee Si-ah) raised her well into childhood, so she was either unwilling or unable to continue. I am leaning towards unable.

photo839379_zpshfmn3bws.jpg&key=97189b48

 

The birth secrets continue, as Seon-jae (Yoon Hyun-min) might have to deal with the awkward reality of Gwang-ho having changed his diapers at some point. Between Seong-sik's (Jo Hee-bong) words and Kim Hwan's (Kim Jung-hak) recognition, Seon-jae will not be able to deny reality much longer. This is actually a great thing, because the series is better off focusing on the things we do not know, rather than the things we do. Our leads cannot take forever to be on the same page.

 

Now that "Gwang-ho lite" has been revealed as snooping into the case of the old murders, new possibilities open up that need exploring. The unfortunate young man did not stop when Gwang-ho said he is with the police, so my suspicion of his pursuer being part of the force seems likely. We still have Jeong Ho-yeong (Heo Sung-tae) as a very likely candidate for at least one or some of the serial killings, however, and this complicates things and possibly adds culprits.

 

photo839378_zpsgxnbfgax.jpg&key=ea9e3965

photo839377_zpsdshavvrd.jpg&key=2dea0ce6

 

Until recently I felt that only Seo Yi-soo was possibly killed by him, but I did mention that whoever gave his alibi might be lying. If Ho-yeong is the only killer, maybe his alibi is our mystery figure. The man had dark hair and was young and able-bodied enough to take down a young man, even if drugged and injured. Could it be a sibling of Ho-yeong or even someone who was committing murders with him?

 

My suspicion for coroner Jin-woo (Kim Min-sang-I) still stands, as well. Aside from his talk of hiding, his prodding about our hero and his access to substances he could have used on modern day Gwang-ho, he accepts the responsibility of a hidden investigation too easily. I might just be seeing non-existent twists everywhere, but that is what makes "Tunnel - Drama" so fun.

"Tunnel - Drama" is directed by Sin Yong-hwi and Kim Seong-min-I, written by Lee Eun-mi-III and features Choi Jin-hyuk, Yoon Hyun-min and Lee Yoo-young.
