After a 10-year wait, the radio is finally ringing again. Kim Hye-soo is already heating up for the promotion of the legendary drama "Signal" Season 2.
On the 8th, Kim Hye-soo regrammed edited videos of "Signal," which aired in 2016, on her Instagram story. She reposted a shorts created by a fan on her account and even liked it. She is already pouring her heart into promoting "Signal" Season 2, set to be released next year.
"Signal" is a time-slip investigation drama that unravels cold cases by connecting the past and present through radio transmissions. The unique dense narrative of writer Kim Eun-hee and the essence of the genre created a "syndrome" at the time of broadcast. Thanks to the perfect lineup of Jo Jin-woong, Kim Hye-soo, and Lee Je-hoon, it is considered a representative masterpiece of tvN, capturing both ratings and artistic value.
In particular, Jo Jin-woong won the grand prize at the tvN10 Awards for his role as Lee Jae-han, and Kim Hye-soo (as Cha Soo-hyun) and Lee Je-hoon (as Park Hae-young) are still receiving legendary-level praise for their respective narratives and performances. The open ending heightened expectations for Season 2, and fans have been eagerly awaiting it.
Hints about "Signal" Season 2 surfaced last year. Writer Kim Eun-hee and director Jang Won-seok hinted at Season 2 plans during a lecture at the University of Rome La Sapienza, and Lee Je-hoon also expressed strong assurance during the promotion of last year's movie "Runaway," stating, "I read the early script, and all I could think was, 'It's just crazy.' It will be beyond imagination."
For writer Kim Eun-hee, "Signal" is a work of special significance. He previously revealed at an event, "Signal is a special work for both the actors and the staff. Season 2 is a story that can happen when a better script comes out." And finally, that 'better script' has been completed, aiming for 2026.
Recently, Lee Je-hoon appeared on KBS 1TV's "Morning Yard" and spoke about "Signal" Season 2, saying, "Please look forward to it. I am so excited. I am also worried about how much I can respond to your wait. I think viewers will feel, 'I’m glad I waited' and 'I hope it doesn’t end.'"
Following Season 1, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of tvN's founding, Season 2 will once again announce the 'return of the legend' for the 20th anniversary. After a long wait, the radio rings again. Kim Hye-soo is also raising her excitement for "Signal" Season 2.
