A murder mystery intertwined with parallel universes? That's an ambitious concept. I can see how the theme of guilt and redemption plays out in such a story. Seo Do Won carrying the weight of his father’s supposed crime adds so much depth to his character. I also appreciate how the show introduces real-world elements like flawed evidence and mental health struggles, which makes the story feel grounded despite its fantastical premise. I’ll definitely check this out.
 
I’ve always loved stories that challenge what we perceive as reality, and “Train” feels like one of those series where every detail matters. The idea of a killer using a parallel universe to evade capture is clever. My only concern is whether the resolution feels satisfying. Sometimes, dramas with intricate setups can lose steam, but the reviews seem solid. I’ll give it a shot.
 
Parallel universes and serial killers—this is exactly the kind of sci-fi noir blend I didn’t know I needed. What struck me most was how the show ties the characters’ personal tragedies to the overarching mystery. It’s not just a detective solving crimes; it’s deeply personal. The fact that Seo Do Won sees a version of Han Seo-Kyung alive in another world is heartbreaking and intriguing. I hope they leaned into the emotional weight of that. Honestly, the idea of seeing the people we love in alternate realities is both fascinating and terrifying.
 
Not for me. I prefer straightforward police procedurals without the added layer of sci-fi. That said, I can see why this concept appeals to so many people. The thought of a train connecting parallel universes is unique, and I appreciate that the writers are willing to explore uncharted territory. But personally, I find stories like this hard to follow. I need to be in the right mindset to enjoy something this intricate, and that doesn’t happen often.
 
I watched "Train" a while back, and it completely floored me. What made it special wasn’t just the parallel universe gimmick but how it used that element to amplify the emotional stakes. Seo Do Won’s guilt, Han Seo-Kyung’s determination—they felt so real despite the fantastical setting. The way the show kept dropping clues only to flip the script later was brilliant. And that moment when Seo Do Won discovers the train isn’t a hallucination? Goosebumps. This series isn’t just a crime thriller; it’s a meditation on fate and choice.

There are a bazillion Kdramas about serial killers. Some have time travel. This one about parallel universes was done very well.
