"A Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese". A very apt title for a very thought provoking movie. NSFW warning: consensual,…
Such a beaitiful review! The manga is one of my favorite and the movie is a subtle yet intimate adaptation compared to the explosive and heart wrenching dialogues in the manga.
Also they did have a happy ending compared to the movie. Wataru came back for the second time but Kyoichi warned him that there will be no third time.
The movie was shot in a documentary video style, so everyone who'll watch this will take a glimpse of Kosuke's life and the three important people who showed him the meaning of love.
It is about ego and love, and how it is connected for Kosuke. Was the kindness he gave to Ryuta and his mother a form of true love or was it something that he did for himself, to ease up the pain from his own past?
It is definitely a moving and intimate adaptation, and Ryohei's excellent performance captured Kosuke's multi layer emotion.
Ep3 kept me on edge the whole time it was so good! I like how they connected Daigo's past to his present. I swear this dorama keeps getting better and better. Also Daigo going berserk is really hot?!
I am gald that you also read the original novel. It's really good read.It's going to be fun watching this movie…
The novel broke my heart, especially that scene when Kosuke broke down when he found out the news. That caught me off guard they were supposed to go on a drive date. I hope the movie shows how that character died.
I was doubting first whether Ryohei can pull off Kosuke but damn that 2nd trailer was so good! He was even nominated in AFA for best actor award for Egoist. Im really excited for this!
He has a good poker face and he's kinda used to these things, being a police officer and all, but I wouldn't say…
yeah maybe it was the lack of emotion that made his character seem off compared to the police roles from True detective and Mindhunter. But Im still starting the dorama and I know Yuya can pull off any roles so Im excited to see how he does here😄
Ep 10 dialogue was brilliant. The fluid scriptwriting and amazing performance from Gordon, Masami, Ryohei and the veteran Takashi san is what made this dorama captivating and highly addictive. Definitely the best winter dorama of 2022.
my only take on ep 10 was the ending, it would have been much interesting if Asakawa continued with her original report but I guess that's another story for the next season (if there's any).
