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 🤩

Insane! Intricate and very tragic.
As the title says, super intricate story, you'll be knocked the f out by some twists and turns, but more importantly, tragic. So tragic that you should be in a good mood to watch this, especially if you've lost someone recently, or in general bc of murder, psychopathy etc.Can't say anything other (long ass) revoeuwera have not said, without spoiling. Just jump on in and you'll be pleasantly surprised by how well this series is constructed.
oh before I forget, watch episode 1-15, then the movie Mouse: The Predator (which consists of 2 episodes, and then episodes 16-20. Have fun!!

Chilling, gripping, excellently executed story
The chokehold this show has on me is unimaginable. Lee Seung Gi is an excellent actor and the kind of character development Jung Ba Reum goes through is worth every minute of watching this show. The tragic elements, especially in the last two episodes is beautifully crafted, I would say it is up there with Shakespearean tragedies. Maybe even more.I have seen this show twice now, and it has managed to break me both times even though I knew what was going to happen the second time around. That’s the kind of cinematography and character building this show has. 10/10 recommend ed

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!)
***the only TV drama from South Korea to be nominated for the international Panorama Category at the 11th Annual Series Mania 2021.

Don’t know why it took me this long to watch!!
Let me give credit to YoHan(Hwa Woon), don’t know why they called his role a supporting role tho!!Story: Good story, I loved how they started the all plot without showing us he was the one doing the killing! I also love the story of the other casts too!!
cast members: Beautiful characters and they did their part beautifully well!!
Was sad that the Father died tho!! he didn’t deserve to die!!
JuHyun was a little bit annoying tho!!
It was beautiful written with a little flaw but still among the best of kdram thriller drama!!

Impressive and surprising. It keeps you hooked from the first episode to the last
"Mouse" tells the story of a psychopath serial killer and two cops who are working together to find him.Ba Reum is a nice police officer, his life become entangled with Moo Chi, a criminal detective that has a past trauma, his entire family has killed by a serial killer and he lived his whole life thinking about revenge. There's also Hong Ju, a journalist who's covering the murders and Bong Yi, a nice girl who also has a sad past. Every single character is connected with each other, in the beginning you don't know that, but by watching the episodes, you get to see how everything fits.
I can't say I was shocked by the twist that Ba Reum is the serial killer, there are some moments that made me think that, specially after his "change" with the brain transplant... instead of becoming more cold and distant, Ba Reum became more bright.
The two special episodes after the episode 15 are really important to the story, because you get to see the real Ba Reum, not him faking like in the beginning or after the transplant, when he's really a different person, with Yo Han's sense of empathy. He's really evil, Ba Reum planned everything and was even using Bong Yi like his father did to his mother, only as a way to reproduce. It's amazing how Lee Seung Gi played this character, because it's like two different people, his eyes, the expressions...
The real culprit in all of this in my opinion is actually Ba Reum's mother. She basically ruined Ba Reum and Yo Han's life by switching the babies. She made Yo Han live his life as the son of a serial killer and even so, he became a good person, who sadly die and Ba Reum, who didn't have any fault for being born without empathy, live his life without any support and didn't know that what he was doing was wrong, he doesn't have a moral compass, so he needed someone to guide him, to help him in the right path. How he's supposed to be good, if he doesn't know what that is?
In the end, the brain transplant was a blessing, because made Ba Reum able to understand emotions for the first time and realize everything he has done and repent. His death is sad, but it's something that was meant to happen.
The drama is really big, besides having 20 episodes and 3 special, some episodes have more than 1 hour, but the amazing thing is that is not exhausting to watch, I didn't get tired in any moment, actually I wanted to keep watching!
It's one of the best crime/thriller dramas that I have ever watched.

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.
