At first, I suspected Changho to be big mouse because of how confident and intelligent he was. However, I soon dropped that suspicion because as I watched the drama, I got the feeling that he wasn't Big Mouse. For some reason, this whole drama reminds me of a saying that isn't even a saying: "Tried to catch a fish but caught a whale instead." Just like what the elder said, Park Changho is certainly much more dangerous than Big Mouse.
For some reason, episode 12 was very anti-climatic and could be easily guessed (I say easily because it was the first thing that you would guess, and the only reason why we thought this won't happen was because of how easy it was to guess and we all know that Big Mouth so far has been full of plot twists.) For some reason, I still find it hard to believe that No Park is Big Mouse. Why? Well firstly, Big mouse existed even before the professor's murder case and all. No Park clearly said that he was a cook and loved that simple life but after his daughter died, he decided to take revenge by becoming Big Mouse (At least that's what I got to understand from what he said.) If his motive was revenge, why would he deal with drugs, gangs, and other illegal activities? Was it just for the money and power? Did he do it because he wanted to gain enough power to be able to take these rich people down? Secondly, I feel like the reveal had too soft of an impact. I mean the entire plot revolves around the real identity of BM so it should be a little more shocking, shouldn't it?
If in the later episodes, it is revealed that there is no other Big Mouse, I would feel really disappointed because this ending just doesn't feel right.
So I went back to the first episode and noticed something. In the beginning, we get an introduction from Changho about the injustice in Korea and he ends it with the line, "Social injustice? What a load of bull. My goal in life is simple. To be successful and live a long happy life with my loving family." This line really doesn't fit Changho at all. Why? Because since the beginning, he had been losing cases against big firms that always do something illegal to make the case end up in their favor. When Doha initially meets him and asks him to work on the Gucheon murder case, Changho refuses since he feels like he would be doing something bad. Doha tells him, "You'll be the righteous lawyer fighting against Goliath" and that's when Changho decides to join hands with Doha. He's also trying to find the professor's papers because he feels like there is something very shocking and corrupt that could be revealed with those papers. He was raised in an orphanage and used to buy milk everyday in order to take it back to feed all the children at the orphanage. I think this is a very important piece of hint because children raised in an orphanage have a more stronger opinion on social injustice because in certain situations, they have been victims of it. His actions till now have all been that of a man who cares a lot about social injustice so his narrative in the starting of episode really doesn't fit his character. With each episode, we can see that Changho is a very intelligent man who can act really well and tricks people into dancing on his tunes. When he was initially being questioned with a lie detecting machine in episode 2, he clearly said that he did not steal the hundred billion won but when asked if he was big mouse, he avoided the question completely and threw a fit. If he really was an innocent man, why didn't he just say 'no'?
What does this all prove? It proves that Changho is a very unreliable narrator.
I don't think the room leader is big mouse. Why? Because episode 11 ending made us think that he is Big Mouse. Thanks to this drama, I have trust issues. Sigh~ I also do not think Big Mouse is Jerry because there have already been clear instances when the show has made us suspect him (For example, when he suddenly went missing from the hospital bed when Miho went to thank him and at the same time, Big mouse was supposed to show up in front of Changho, but in the end, Warden was the one who showed up. However, even after that, nobody stopped suspecting Jerry. In episode 11, Jerry gets a call and smiles as he says something along the lines of "Changho is interesting." This one again makes us suspect him and that is exactly why I do not think it is him. If it was him, we would have been given a subtle hint not one that was literally handed down on a plate to us. Like let's just imagine that Jerry really is revealed to be the big mouse in the later episodes, would anyone be shocked? The answer is no. We would not be shocked because at this moment he is the one we suspect the most and BM's real identity is supposed to be the most shocking plot twist in the whole drama.)
