Mouse (2021)

Amazing…what a roll coasters of emotions!

It is the best thiller I ever watched. I thought 20 episodes will be too many and it get boring but no the show was engaging from beginning till the end.

I could guess who is the killer after few episodes but still the show wasn’t boring and there are so many twists that you would not expect. It is a real shame that Yo Han had to die because I really like the character. The story is great.

After the brain sugery I started to sympathise with Ba Reum and stated to think if they did not trigger him would he became a killer? Lee Seung’s acting was amazing! In the end he got what he deserved but I could not help but felt sorry for him and wished for different ending.

I could not stopped watching the show. I finished it in few day!

O enredo começa interessante e promissor, mesmo com algumas conveniências logo de cara. Acontece que a história começa a ficar muito emaranhada e pretenciosa, nos deixando a sensação de pontas soltas. E a cada final de capítulo eles tentam nos enganar, o que acabou me irritando às vezes. O final foi beeem expositivo também.

Mesmo assim a cada episódio eu me sentia mais envolvida com os personagens e com as minhas próprias teorias, acertei algumas inclusive.

A trama também traz questionamentos importantes.

No geral, eu gostei de Mouse, me manteve interessada e nunca entediada. E as atuações são de tirar o fôlego.

I've watched countless crime series, but this one is the BEST

There're are reviews calling it a mess or too complicated. No, it is not if you use your brain properly. this series has one of the best planned storyline. it does have plots, but it is worth it. Anyone calling it a mess just cannot keep up with this pace, and i think such people need to avoid such stories that just messes up with their head because they cannot seem to understand the storyline which is literally their problem. (In simple terms, THEY ARE JUST TOO DUMB).
** The main character's acting is top-notch. The science approach was well detailed (i'm a biomed student, so yeah i found it intriguing). The suspense, thriller, all of it keeps you on the edge of the seat. As for me, i was able to figure out who the psychopath was because i was into it, and it was not a mess at all. There's sad scenes that can tear you up if you're emotional, and really unexpected turns, but foof, this is the *the* best. After watching this, i haven't been able to find another series that matches the thriller, details, suspense, and overall storyline. I promise you that you will not regret it if you watch it, (also do not forget to get into it- the best part!)

***the only TV drama from South Korea to be nominated for the international Panorama Category at the 11th Annual Series Mania 2021.
Lee-seungi earned the Grand Award (Daesang) for best actor in TV category at the 6th Asia Artist Awards.
best supporting actor award as well.

spectacular !! mind blowing !!

It’s been a while since a show has left me speechless.
If you like puzzles, thriller and mistery this is for you.
It keeps you hooked from the very first moment to the last, the amount of plot twist and the acting is out of this world.
Some may say it’s too messy but imo that’s the charm, you’ll keep wondering what will happen next and it leaves you with endless questions throughout every chapter.
It’s the type of show you will need to watch with an open mind and pay attention to the course of events or you will end up getting lost.
Nothing will ever come close to the way i felt when i was watching this series. It’s a masterpiece and 100% recomended.

Overall Satisying-Just don't go for a season 2

My friends recommended this drama, and I jumped to it right after Beyond Evil, which might have affected my judgment. I would say it started off strongly then it dropped when we had so many unexplored plot lines and the OZ organization was like a balloon that promised to pop only to wither away quietly.
I want more crime/thriller Korean dramas Mouse was good but they had many weaknesses that would be better fixed for the next drama.
So, what I liked were the acting Lee Seung Gi and the supporting cast all did a great job, Ko Mo Chi would do nicely in comedy and I love his short-fused reactions. The child actor would be a great actor in the future, overall it was a good watch, I recommend it.

Catching the Mouse

Likes
1. One hell of a ride! It took the basic question of 'nature vs nurture' and put a lot of interesting things along the way. Just when you think you know who the killer is and why, the writer comes up with a sudden twist that makes you rethink what you know. I appreciated that the writer was able to explain a lot of the small clues and questions we have (although most of the ideas were unbelievable).
2. Loved Bareum and Moochi. I wish they were more scenes of them working together. I really like Moochi but sometimes it feels like he is always too late. He is always drunk or away whenever something major happens or cant be reached.
3. I liked Bongyi at the start even though she was a brat. But in the latter episodes her character was just there when convenient. And the romance between her and Bareum was weird.
4. Never liked Hongju. She was a mystery. How can she not call her parents after all this time? Because of guilt? And i find it hard to believe that the father never recognized who she was when she is a famous tv personality.
5. The whole govt conspiracy was interesting but the big reveal wasnt too impactful.
6. I feel bad for Sung Yohan. And Shin Sang. And Bareum. The ending was sad but it was the most appropriate ending.

Dislikes
1. Too long, the middle where Bareum became a vigilante was boring.
2. The final twist in the last 2 episodes was overkill but it answered a lot of my questions.

Rating: 8.5/10

I still haven't found anything that impressed me more than this drama. I confess that in the middle of the episodes I was afraid of getting frustrated, because there were MANY plots, many characters (all deep and incredibly rich in their stories), many phases... but I was not disappointed in my expectations at all.
It's shocking how the drama didn't need ANY crutches to be brilliant. No scene was for nothing, guys.

Even with 20 episodes, ALL the scenes were explained and rescued with the coherence of the plot, delivering a cohesive, quality work with a lot of maturity to address so many heavy themes and so many different traumas.

The fact that the plot didn't need to explore romance to hold the audience was also very pleasing to me. Long episodes without a minute wasted. Lee Seung Gi as Jung Ba Reum is brilliant. This role certainly marked not only his career but also an entire generation of actors who will dream and strive to seek this level of excellence.

EVERY EPISODE IS A MOVIE!!!!

Mouse is a MASTERPIECE. The storyline is vague but is enticing enough to make you addicted to it. Creating theories, predictions and guesses are useless because the plot is so UNPREDICTABLE. This drama will make you punch the air, facepalm your face, sob some tears and die of nervousness. The EMOTIONS potrayed by every actor is on point and will make you emotionally distressed. The CAST ON ITS OWN is a 10/10.

Lee Seung Gi's dramas are always bangers and this is no exception. However from the beginning his character don't seem to stand out that much considering he is the main lead. This drama will make you curious as to WHY EXACTLY is his character in the drama. The relationship dynamics between all the leads are the main reason this drama carries such an impact even with a slow start. THE ONLY MAN WE TRUST IS KO MOO CHI!!!
