Kim Eun-hee, a famous Korean drama writer nicknamed "Korea's Agatha Christie." In 2019, she became known worldwide, not just in Korea, with the Netflix series "Kingdom". We recommend three interesting works from her works, called a master of mystery, crime, and thriller genres.
“SIGN” (2011)
SBS Sign Official Website
Kim Eun-hee made her name known with the drama “SIGN” in 2011. “SIGN” is a drama set at the National Forensic Service and tells the story of forensic scientists. It was the first Korean drama to be set at the National Forensic Service. They solve cases, including the mysterious death of an idol. Unlike Korean dramas at the time that required romance between the main characters, it received favorable reviews for its focus on the case, with romance being almost negligible. "Yoon Ji-hoon," a brilliant forensic scientist, and "Go Da-gyeong," a new recruit who is just starting her career as a forensic scientist, are the main characters. In 2019, it was also remade in Japan under the title “SIGN - Forensic Scientist Yuzuki Takashi’s Case-".
The Korean drama “SIGN” can be viewed on Wavve and Watcha, and you can also watch the full story summary with 16 subtitles on SBS’s official YouTube channel ‘SBS Catch’.
“Phantom” (2012)
SBS Ghost Official Website
The drama "Phantom," which aired a year after "SIGN," tells the story of the Cyber Investigation Unit. In 2012, not long after smartphones became widely available, people lacked a concept of personal information leaks and cyber ethics, and various social problems arose as people used the internet for work, money transactions, and diary writing. The title character, ‘Hades,’ is a genius hacker and the drama begins with the chase for him. Since it was created by the same production team as "SIGN" mentioned earlier, there are some similarities, but since the subjects are completely different, it didn't feel similar.

“Signal” (2016)
tvN Signal Official Website
The drama "Signal," which many Koreans consider their "life drama," is a crime drama with fantasy elements. The main character, "Park Hae-young," discovers a walkie-talkie that allows him to communicate with "Lee Jae-han," a detective in the past. The drama is about how he uses the walkie-talkie to solve long-term unsolved cases from the past. An important aspect of the drama is how Detective Lee Jae-han was able to communicate with the future through the walkie-talkie, and what his past was like. The drama also uses real cases that have been left unsolved in Korea for a long time and remain unsolved due to the statute of limitations.
"Signal" has also been remade in Japan, China, and Thailand. There are many voices calling for a season 2 because of the open ending, and after several discussions about season 2, Kim Eun-hee herself recently mentioned season 2, giving many fans hope.
The Korean drama "Signal" can be viewed on TVING, Wavve, and Disney+.
