Introduction In the golden age of Korean dramas, Tunnel (터널) stands out as a gripping fusion of crime thriller, police procedural, and science fiction. Airing on OCN from March 25 to May 21, 2017 (often referred to as the 2016 production cycle due to its late 2016 filming schedule), the drama quickly earned cult status. For Indonesian viewers, the availability of Tunnel Sub Indo (Indonesian subtitles) has been a game-changer, making complex dialogue and cultural nuances accessible to a wider audience.
While chasing a suspect through a dark tunnel, Gwang-ho is violently struck on the head. When he regains consciousness, he stumbles out of the same tunnel – only to discover it’s now . The world has changed: cars are sleeker, phones are smart, and his old police station is a modern forensics hub.
