The virginity requirement will become a huge issue if the two leads fall in love lol.

Only by one day actually, since it's uneven right now due to the first special. But I don't know if they'll really do that, I was just wondering.

No, only the nominations have been announced. The award ceremony is on May 13.

I wonder if there will be no episode on May 13 since the Baeksang Awards air on that day. They air on jtbc but it would still be kinda strange to air Mouse at the same time Lee Seung Gi is at the awards, wouldn't it?

This isn't possible. Ba Reum is definitely the predator, otherwise it would nullify the purpose of the drama. And there's also a lot of proof that appeared that he can't just have imagined. For example Chi Kook. Let's say the conversation between Chi Kook and Ba Reum was only in Ba Reum's imagination. But how do you explain then that Moo Chi also noticed that Chi Kook is afraid of Ba Reum? And there are many more things like this.

As for Hong Joo, I completely agree with you. But I still included those questions in the list since the drama hasn't confirmed it yet, so it's only our assumption for now.

That's a total of 35 questions lol. 6 episodes feel not enough to deal with all of that.

1. Related to Daniel Lee:
1) What's his real deal?
2) What is the mistake he talked about?
3) Who attacked him?
4) How did he survive?
5) What did he and Yo Han talk about?
6) What was in the envelope he gave to the politician?
7) Who is his lost younger sibling?
8) Why are Lee Min Soo and OZ helping Daniel Lee?
9) What is OZ's identity?

2. Related to Yo Han:
1) What did he tell Ba Reum when they were both lying on the ground?
2) Who are his real parents?
3) What did he and Han Seo Joon talk about?
4) Who was the body thrown into the river?
5) What was in the envelope he burnt?
6) How did he get the pictures of Ba Reum's victims?

3. Related to Ba Reum:
1) Who are his real parents?
2) What does the aunt know? What is she hiding?
3) Who is Jeju Grandma?
4) Who killed his family and who exactly was killed?
5) Why did he take revenge on the boxer?
6) Why did he see the necklace and the brooch on the dead body? Was it only a hallucination?
7) Why did he smell mint scent on the dead bodies? Was it only a hallucination?
8) Why did he approach Bong Yi?
9) Did he get Bong Yi pregnant?
10) Why was the cat teeth pendant exactly the same as the other psychopath's? Was it really just a coincidence?

4. Related to Hong Joo:
1) How did she escape from Han Seo Joon?
2) Was she the girl who crushed the mouse 5-year-old Ba Reum was following?
3) Why did she not reunite with her family?
4) With what intention did she send the tape to the secretary?

5. Related to Sung Ji Eun:
1) What is she hiding?
2) Why did the boxer save her?
3) Why was she attacked by the apple killer? Was it really just a coincidence?

6. Other open questions:
1) Who is the woman at the orphanage?
2) Is there more behind the secretary?
3) What happened to the lawyer's pregnant wife?

Let me know if I missed something.

I'll try to make a list of all open questions that still need to be answered:

I couldn't agree more, it's done so incredibly well.

Wow, I love this!

I also think that's the only possible outcome. But I still find it interesting how they'll go about it. There are many possible ways to kill him off and I'm also curious how the other characters will go on with their lives after knowing the truth. And I also wonder if he'll do anything to pay at least a tiny little bit for his sins before he dies, and if yes, what.

Of course, there's also the possibility to make him rot in jail, but I don't think that's very likely.

No, I don't find it odd. I don't think there will be any more twists to her character, the episode with handing the evidence about Bong Yi to the police because she needs to take care of her baby confirmed it imo. It's very unlikely that she's involved in any shady business at this point. Also, it has been clearly shown that she's ridden with guilt for assisting Han Seo Joon, so I think she didn't want to reunite with her family because she sees herself as a bad person and doesn't want to hurt them. I don't support that logic (what could hurt more than having to believe your child is dead?) but that's how I see Hong Joo.

But we'll see if there's another twist or not, we can never be 100% sure.

I don't think he ever considered it to be okay. His plan always was to kill a psychopath (because they are so evil that they deserve to die) and then go to jail for it, not to just kill them and continue living his life as if nothing ever happened. He was ready to throw away his own life and do something wrong because his desire for revenge was so strong. That doesn't make the killing okay though.

And yes, it was obvious who the killer is. But I don't think the point of the story was to make us guess about who it is (or only in the first episodes). It's to see his journey and what changes he goes through. We basically saw the story from his perspective, that's why there was this "reveal" about his identity since he himself had to discover it first. I personally wouldn't have minded it if the reveal came faster so that the story could focus more on the aftermath. There are so many questions to answer now. What conclusion will he himself draw? Will he change for the better? Was it his upbringing that made him a monster? How will he pay for his sins? Could he ever be redeemed? How will the other characters react? Will they ever be able to forgive him? Imo we're getting to the most interesting part now.

What big reveal about Hong Joo are you talking about? We already know everything about her by now. Or do you mean reveal as in not for the viewers but for the other characters in the drama since they don't know yet that she's Detective Park's daughter?

While I was trying to find more info on Yang Jin Ho after reading that the recent case in Taxi Driver is based on a real case, I found this article: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2020/05/28/socialAffairs/Yang-Jinho-gapjil-%EC%96%91%EC%A7%84%ED%98%B8/20200528165200215.html

The article is currently trending on 1st place on that site btw.

I think Kang Ha Na will end up joining hands with Rainbow Taxi. The intro of ep. 6 made me believe so when she talked about the law being distant and that other means are needed to help victims on time. And I hope it will happen rather sooner than later so that she'll finally be fully integrated into the story and get the screentime a female lead deserves. But the next episodes will definitely focus on Go Eun, so I hope the focus will shift to Ha Na from ep. 9 on. That would already be late enough, half of the drama will have aired by then.

And now it's back to 8.3 lol. There's definitely something wrong with it. I believe 8.7 should be the correct one, 8.3 just seems way too low.

I couldn't agree more! And I loved how they showed us that Do Gi originally wanted to become an actor. He did become one after all. This drama is perfect for Lee Je Hoon to show what he got (both acting-wise and looks-wise haha). I'm really excited to see what roles he'll play next after the current case is over.

Before, on the drama's Namu Wiki page was written 15+ and 19+ for 1-4 (and then later 1-6), but now there's only written 19+, so I assume they've decided to rate the entire drama 19+.
