Big Mouse (2022)

A Nail Biting Thriller all the Way

One of the best, if not the best drama of 2022. Fast paced action, great acting from Lee Jung Suk and of course, the drama itself that kept me on my toes from beginning to end. I must say I was also impressed with actors Kim Joo Hun as the villain Choi Do Ha and Yang Kyun Won as Kong Ji Hoon who was great in all his obnoxiousness.

I would have given this drama a 10 rating except that, I was not impressed with the partnership of Lee Jung Suk and Im Yoon Ah as husband and wife. Their lack of chemistry bothered me, especially, Yoon Ah's lucklustre acting were at best, hits and misses. She has this frozen look on her face most of the time that there's hardly expressive emotion that say, a particular scene calls for. Lee Jung Suk never disappoints as an actor and to his credit, he did study acting and was exceptional as Big Mouse. But when he and Yoon Ah were together in a scene, they just looked uncomfortable and awkward around each other. I did not feel any love or warmth in their embraces; they were more like best friends rather than husband and wife. They never even kissed throughout the drama which is weird considering they're supposed to be madly in love with each other. This weakness to an otherwise exceptional drama is why I shaved off some points in my rating. Overall though, I'd still give credit to screenwriter: Kim Ha Ram for writing an outstanding screenplay and directors Oh Choong Hwan and Bae Hyun Jin for a job well done.

THE ENDING

I was one of the few who wrote an early review, before I had the chance to read all the amazing and detailed reviews that followed. One of the comments a lot of viewers expressed was that the ending was rushed. For me, the ending started from the moment Choi Do Ha won as mayor and then, to the disappointment of Big Mouse and his team, as well as the viewers, including me (I did not see that coming), the court found him not guilty. To top it all, Chang Ho's wife, Mi Ho died and became one of the many victims of the company Choi Do Ha wrested from the elder chairman by killing him. Just when Choi Do Ha was celebrating his victory and having it all, he meets his death at the hands of Chang Ho.

Do Ha's death also signalled the direction Chang Ho was now undertaking with his life, and that is, to continue as Big Mouse. Earlier, he vowed and made it clear that he will only stay as Big Mouse until he puts Choi Do Ha in jail through the legal system. But then, he realized that the legal system was not perfect and people like his wife would die without justice meted on the guilty. Chang Ho bought the building and poisoned the pool that eventually led to Do Ha's death. Now that, by definition is murder, a clear indication that Chang Ho changed the course of his life, from the strait laced lawyer to head of an organization that functions outside the law.

I think it was a brilliant piece of writing on the part of the writer. The writer dropped hints like crumbs where Chang Ho experienced one setback after another so that at the end, the viewers will realize and understand Chang Ho's choice. What better poetic justice handed down to Do Ha than to die the same way his victims like Mi Ho died (radioactive poisoning). The last words of Chang Ho to Do Ha said it all., "The law was made to save people. But you don't need the law."

Not so great

Firstly in this show the whole concept of big mouth is very childish there is no power to the character and the way Lee jung suk's character designed is also not good. Yoona in this drama fears nothing acts like a super woman seems very odd. Overall I dint like the story I was very much excited but it's a very average drama..

Lee jung suk last drama though it's Melo it was very nice. In this story on the whole there is no power or punch to excite..

Talking about the big mouth too much buildup created but at last he just dies in a second same with the villain character.

The old man's son character has not shown in the whole show then y to bring it on..

This could have been good drama but somehow it doesn't work out and the impact it gives very lame..

INCRÍVEL

Incrível é a palavra que define bem esse drama, a cada episódios era uma teoria nova tanto que em alguns momentos com certeza fui mais além do que o próprio roteirista pensou 🤣.

Sim, o drama tem suas falhas, principalmente o fato do Park Chang Ho ser um advogado com a taxa de sucesso de apenas uns 10% e aí quando ele assume o papel de big mouse acaba se tornando muito inteligente e astuto, sim sei que ele teve que aprender a sobreviver na cadeia mas se tornar inteligente nesse nível foi irreal.

Mas o fato das reviravoltas serem tão boas não foi algo que nos deixa remoendo a questão da inteligência por muito tempo.
Mi Ho foi uma personagem muito boa também, ela teve super destaque, ela entrava nas maiores loucuras para resolver alguma questão que ajudaria seu marido ( ele até tenta se divorciar para ela não ficar em perigo) .

Só não dei 10 porque o último episódio foi muito corrido, foi deixado muita coisa para se resolver em apenas um episódio de uma hora e pouco, o personagem que mais fez os outros sofrerem não sofreu 10 minutos, merecia ter se engasgado com o próprio veneno por mais tempo, além de respostas para outras questões que não foram respondidas aí ficou a sensação de que algo faltava.

A Must Watch!

Oh Gosh, this was so good. The storyline has its ups and down but it is really good. I will be rewatching it again soon. Lee Jon Suk (Park Chang Ho), what can I say about this actor? He takes a character and he will perform it to the fullest. What he did in this drama is take someone who is weak and made him strong. Life can do that to anyone. Park Chang Ho (Go Mi Ho) This is a wife that stood by her husband's side from school to wife. Her character already had that strong personality and she rode with it. What a great drama. I thank the writers who brought awareness to cancer and how the environment you live in can cause cancer. I applaud the writers. Activism at its best.

Una de las mejores series del 2022

A mi parecer esta serie ha sida una de las mejores del 2022,
La trama: es una trama muy de acción, estas pendiente durante gran parte de los capitulos, esperando que pase lo qiue tiene que pasar, en ni un momento deja de sorprender
Pareja principal: a pesar de que se espera que haya romance, la relación es más de una esposa que quiere salvar a su marido, me encantó que no se enfocaran en lo amoroso y fuera más hacia lo incondicional. Lo que sí, me hubiese gustado una segunda oportunidad para ella.
Los villanos: realmente son malos y nunca dejan de sorprender.

Yo la recomiendo al 100%

Strong start but gets muddy

After 2-3 episodes, I had the thought — this could potentially go atop my list of favorite dramas. I haven't watched many of the thriller/crime genre, but the set-up was insane, the acting was amazing, and I was just really invested in both parts of the story: Miho's hospital conspiracy and Changho's prison identity. There were already amazing twists and I also loved the balance we got with Miho and Changho's flashbacks — the tone bounced seamlessly between tension and light-hearted nostalgia.

I felt like about halfway, the pace of the drama started to drop off and repetitive — many of the episodes had the "you thought the bad guys got the upper hand but actually we knew all along and played them" and after using this trope so much it really felt just like plot armor.

I think the vibes of the show continued to be really thrilling, but I definitely feel like the plot itself wasn't tied up too neatly. Even with the nice parts that came full circle, it was like there was one twist after another or just always more to the mystery the drama preferred to spend time on action and confrontations that would take place without actually clarifying what was going on in the backstory.

I also think that the main female lead didn't click so well with me; I think Yoona's acting has improved a lot since K2 but I still don't feel the same amount of immersion that I did with Lee Jongsuk's acting, which was really just top notch, as expected. But I don't blame the actress completely for this either — I honestly think that the FL's character was written very thinly. Yes, she is quote-endquote the typical "strong female character," but it really feels like that was all she was. Her entire character was standing by her husband and not giving up on solving the mystery, but there was never any personal character development outside of that.

Now, that doesn't necessarily bother me if I think about this drama this way: the only main character in this drama is Changho and the plot is the way he is harshly thrown into a situation where the disparity between the privileged and the unprivileged is extreme. If you watch this drama expecting to find a really twisted conspiracy theory — which is how the first few episodes present it — I think the story will end up feeling a little meh, with underwhelming reveals and confusing plot holes.

Overall, the ending is rushed but I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Big Big Drama

Sensacional, esse drama te mantem na ponta dos pés o tempo todo, minha tenção foi inteiramente confiscada desde o início pelo seu enredo inteligente e interessante;cada episódio é unico, o ritimo é muito bem feito; esse sem sombra de duvidas é um exemplo de um drama bem executado e para mim foi a melhor produção até agora de 2022.

Seu emocional vai a mil, você presencia uma montanha russa de emoções, o suspense está sempre ali, você desconfia de tudo e de todos, todo episódio tem uma reviravolta, e você sempre quer mais ,pois precisa de mais e mais informação para montar o quebra cabeça e desvendar o mistério, e tudo é feito com exelencia para prender sua atenção até o final.

Nesse show você encontra bastante ação e suspense, antes de assistir pensei que iria achar chato pois geralmente acho cansativo dramas policiais, poucos me conquistaram, até assistir Big Mouth, e te digo com certeza que esse vai ficar entre meus favoritos de ação e suspense.

Eu definitivamente recomendaria esse drama para você!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sensational, this drama keeps you on your toes the entire time, my attention was entirely confiscated from the start by its clever and interesting plot; This is without a doubt an example of a well-executed drama.

Your emotional goes to a thousand, you witness a roller coaster of emotions, the suspense is always there, you distrust everything and everyone, every episode has a twist, and you always want more, because you need more and more information to assemble the puzzle and unravel the mystery, and everything is done with excellence to hold your attention until the end.

In this show you find a lot of action and suspense, before watching I thought I would find it boring because I usually find police dramas tiring, few conquered me, until I watched Big Mouth, and I tell you for sure that this will be among my favorites of action and suspense.

I would definitely recommend this drama to you!

Mas que dorama não é amigos?...

Depois da espera árdua para ver nosso querido Sukinho de volta às telinhas, nos damos de cara com esse ícone!

Após assistir o primeiro episódio, eu senti que BM seria um K-drama de ouro, daqueles de arrepiar qualquer um. Foi a minha primeira vez com a atriz Im Yoon Ah e tenho que te dizer que ela arrasa! Jong Suk atuando como anti-herói malvadão foi a origem de todos os meus surtos. Atuação, enredo, química entre o casal (apesar de eu ter sentido muita falta dos beijinhos rsrs) e entrosamento do elenco, tudo foi lindo e maravilhoso.

Porém, como tudo na vida não são flores, vamos aos tiros:
1. O demônio do antagonista. Diabo de praga ruim é essa que vocês criaram? Ainda bem que não tive pena nenhuma dele, mesmo tendo "sofrido" quando criança. Este foi mais uns daqueles doramas que eu surtei de raiva por causa dos antagonistas (coitada da minha rede...). A esposa dele também não ajudou. Tinha tudo pra dar uma de patroa e colocar o marido atrás das grades, mas não... ficou lesando acreditando em cada palavra que ele dizia, pra no final, ser jogada no hospício por ele próprio.
2. O final. Que final devastador... juro que eu ainda não me recuperei dele! Outro surto de um mix de raiva, tristeza e indignação. Não tinham que ter matado a Mi Ho, uma das personagens mais injustiçadas de todo o dorama, juntamente com o coitado do preso condenado à morte, que assumiu todas as acusações pra poder salvar a mãezinha dele... Também não me conformo com a morte do prefeito. Acho que ele devia ter sofrido mil vezes pior por tudo o que ele fez. Aquele desalmado psicopata duas caras, falso e sem coração.

Apesar de tudo, não tem como você não amar o drama. O cast, a história, a atuação, a OST, foi uma experiência incrível!

INCRÍVEL

Esse drama me cativou de um jeito! Lee Jong Suk não decepcionou, atuação incrível de se arrepiar. Yoona não foi muito diferente, perfeita em sua atuação. Park Chang Ho foi um personagem que conquistou meu coração de primeira, de início eu não dava nada por ele, mas ele entregou tudo, com sua ousadia e esperteza. Miho, também foi maravilhosa, super corajosa, nada conseguia fazer ela desistir do seu objetivo. A química do casal foi magnífica, não foi necessário uma cena beijo pra demostrar o quanto eles se amavam.
Toda a história foi muito bem desenvolvida, terminei de assistir satisfeita sem nenhuma ponta solta.
Ninguém melhor que ele como Big Mouse!

a perfect drama

I wish I had watched it sooner, but it's never too late, right?! What can I say about this drama other than perfection. Both the script, the development, the cast, the harsh social criticism and the indescribable emotions that are transmitted are surreal. I sent our muse YoonA (Mi-ho) and dear Lee jong-suk (Chang-ho) as the main couple. For those who like action and raw investigation "Big mouth" is the perfect option, including mystery and suspense. All episodes are very intriguing and engaging, unraveling the mysteries and the true cause in the form of a flashback memory. Some share opposing opinions about the final episodes as it is somewhat sad and moving, but this K-drama's main subject is not romantic melodrama.
