Mini Review:

↬You begin this show by thinking it’s a psychological thriller, but its not limited to being a psychological thriller, it has created a genre beyond that.

↬Mouse is a semi-dystopian world where in some characters are in search of creating a utopian world. It is brutal, scary, suspenseful and full of twists.

↬But there comes a point where the plot twists get so random and difficult to follow, it almost became a “Makjang” Drama. The show could have been cut short to 16 episodes, by avoiding creating unnecessary twists.

↬For me the older generation women made much more character impact than the younger generation women.

[Spoiler Alert]

How could Bong Yi become a writer in one day? She had no prior experience, but she is suddenly an expert writer and carrying out investigations of her own? It would have been still better if she started as an intern or assistant for a writer on the show

[END]

↬The first half of the show is vastly led by Ko Moo Chi (Lee Hee Joon), but the second half is where Lee Seung Gi shines at his best. As I mostly follow Lee Seung Gi in variety shows, I have become a newfound fan of him in acting.

↬As for the ending of the show, it was one of the best series finale I have seen in a while.

 

Ending Notes:

🔺The thriller contains much brutal violence, be prepared.

🔺The police of the department seemed clueless most of the time, and following on the clues or words that appeared randomly/coincidently.

🔺Shout out to the actor Kwon Hwa Woon (Sung Yo Han), great work!

🔺Must watch for watching various shades of Lee Seung Gi’s acting.

Final Rating: 3.8/5👀
