Ok, I found the acting in this drama very good but, I feel the storyline kind of brings down their acting... I was really into the drama and the last 4 episodes lost my interest, especially when there was a such a big lag in airing. When they don't air for a couple of weeks, it started to loose the shine for me.Also towards the end, I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on,, at this point my favorite is the Detective and now I have to wait again to watch the finale.
It's not keeping my interest at all, and if it has a werid ending, I will be very disapointed

Its way too much complicated
I was super excited to watch this series and first few episodes didn't let me down. But as the story progress, I started to hate this series the way it is presented to viewer. Why so much complexity? The story had so much potential and interesting plots that if it was presented very simply, it would have been more than enough to be a masterpiece. But I think the director just messed it up. Making unnecessary confusing plots over and over and over, Mixing purposely all the incidents was really not needed. Each episode makes disappointed with a new question without answer and with more confusion. I am very much fan of thriller plots, unexpected turn, but this is not that. It is purposely made annoying to make me give up this series in the middle. It has little Sherlock Holmes type touch but again the way this series is presented to the viewers, it is just disappointing. Finally I just read the story from some review online because I was tired and at some point started to hate the way this series treats the viewers. We love to find answer of question and wreck our brain if thriller and suspense are alongside together. But this is not such thing. I mean what is the point if you show someone's thinking or imagination as a clue? That's not a proper way to impress viewers on serious plots. Honestly, if you are bored to death without any other options, then only maybe this series can make you wake up and stop procrastinating. Otherwise, come on : do like me and move to other series.Was this review helpful to you?
What I love about this is that it keeps you guessing at every turn, analyzing each characters perspectives as well as their actions. So detail oriented that you can’t miss anything otherwise you miss a clue. What makes this show so eerie is the facial expressions, and the impending suspense that you get from them.

Everything is incredible: the plot, the acting.
Some scenes are heartbreaking.
The family history of the police officer is very sad. When the psychopath killed the priest in front of his brother....I cried so much.
There is no worse punishment for a psychopath than give him conscience and guilt for his crimes.
Everything is incredible: the plot, the acting.

ready to question humanity, sleep with one eye open, and never trust your ugly neighbor again
Mouse (2021): 9/10 – The K-Drama That Will Haunt Your Dreams (And Your Search History)💀 WHY IT'S BETTER THAN IT HAS ANY RIGHT TO BE:
A cop and a psychopath walk into a drama... and boom—we get this masterpiece of mind games, bloody twists, and enough “Wait, what?!” moments to last a lifetime. The suspense? Unmatched. The plot? A rollercoaster of WTF.
🔪 THE “NEVER LOOK AWAY” MOMENTS:
The mind-bending cat-and-mouse game (pun intended).
Every time the bad guys look at you like they know your deepest, darkest secrets… and probably already planned your demise.
Lee Seung-gi in a role that makes you reconsider trusting anyone in your life.
😱 THE “OKAY, THAT’S A LITTLE MUCH” FLAWS:
Pacing: It's like a thriller buffet—you get all the excitement at once, then... it's like you’re waiting for the next course.
Some twists are like… did we need this? Yes. Yes, we did.
🎯 VERDICT:
"Mouse" is like a psychological game where the stakes are your sanity.
Watch if: You’re ready to question humanity, sleep with one eye open, and never trust your neighbor again.
Skip if: You enjoy a quiet, peaceful life. You’re in the wrong genre, buddy.

This is by far one of my favourites!
This is one of the K-Dramas I wish I could watch for the first time again. It was sooo good and caused so many emotions 😭😭 I felt happy, excited, angry, confused, BROKEN ...to be honest, I dropped this after the second episode since it was a little slow, but AFTER I decided to watch it again, everything changed.
So dont give up after the first episode please, you will understand everything (slowly)🌸
And if you finished this one, go watch vagabond and beyong evil next 🤩

Absolutely blown away.
This drama is one of the most confusing shows I've ever watched. But that is the intent of the show. You WILL be confused while watching; you constantly have to piece things together. Just when you think you finally understand, the puzzle falls apart.This was an absolute masterpiece to watch. This show had me smiling, sitting on the edge of my seat, crying, and contemplating everything. Some scenes felt as if my heart was being ripped out--the ending especially just left a big gaping hole. If you are looking for a show with a happy ending, I wouldn't recommend this show.
If you want to feel like shit after watching but also be amazed at how good the story was, 100% give this a go.

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!

Only a true thriller lover will fall for this drama
If I say this is a masterpieces which can't replace in my best thriller section.What wasn't there? - there is mystery action psychology love emotion psychopath .. Everything that a thriller lover would love to see in their drama.
I saw some people's review that "it's flop" .. I was like ya only for those "hopeless romantic"..
Of course they were asking for justice for the innocent character but my friend there is deadly sins they have done... So you should switch to your rom-com because thriller is not your genre
Come back to the topic: This drama was captivating. In every episode it will feel like now you know the whole story but in the beginning of next episode you will see that it's not like what you think!
The story will amaze you in everyway... Example is me... I have saw this drama last year still can't get this outta my mind because of it's charm...
So if anyone reading my review I should say "you can definitely go for it" - well ofc you need to be die heart fan of thriller before that.

but only at the very end. I also liked the cast and the editing. It's quite drastic, so if you're not a fan of blood, I don't recommend it. The series also has a special episode and two more episodes from the killer's perspective (I'm currently watching the first episode), so if you don't want to leave Mouse completely and would like to see what the psychopath was actually thinking, I recommend the episodes from his perspective. And yes, I cried and got angry too.

the plot twists !!
I watched mouse last year and have to say that it is a very interesting kdrama. what I loved the most about this drama is the acting. the acting couldn‘t have been more perfect. I really liked the idea of this drama, which is also why I watched it in the first place since I prefer dark and mysterious dramas. one thing that was kinda sad is that it was kinda obvious what plot twist there would be. I won‘t reveal which one, but it wasn‘t the main part, so I‘m quite happy about that. overall, would recommend this.Was this review helpful to you?
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!)
