Honestly I was hoping that they'd venture into nature v nurture :( but this transplant thing tenders that possibility dead..

Is the novel by the same author too? :o - also yes, it is. But then why would they call head hunter for a mere surgery that any neurosurgeon could do?

Isn't he's still in coma? I think it was shown in episode 7 or 8 where Bareum is talking to her mom that you can't ever lose hope.

I am desperately looking for reasons that the transplant wouldn't have happened but so far I'm finding MORE that there has been. You're right about this point - why would HH willingly go with this surgery? - also why did he say the surgery must have failed to BR in episode 8? Because BR visibly has emotions now?

Lmao I'm with you. I find this whole idea absurd. But I think it fits the storyline because remember how this is inspired of 2017 Incheon killing - she said that she was really horrified by the killers words & wanted them to feel the pain - that'd be their pain as well as their salvation. As for your points, I agree with all of them - & I do believe there's political involvement (that woman who wanted the bill to be passed in ep1) (hong ju sending her a tape). I think yohan was alive, bong yi wasn't able to finish it? But still Yohan should have shown signs of a surgery like bandage on head etc. And I have one more point to add which I'm really confused about. If Bareum had the frontal lobe of a psychopath before, after the surgery he has the mirror neurons or whatever they are saying (I'm not equipped with the knowledge for this) that is required for a 'normal' functioning brain - he should not have killer instincts anymore, right? Then why is he still having them after the surgery (he was excited after seeing a dead body, he goes all out when he beats people, even in ep9 preview they are talking about the killer instincts? ) Either there is an explanation for this or...

4 days more. time is moving even more slowly this week. °_°

How is this so far? Want to watch something with mouse.

this just gave me goosebumps!

verrrryyy subtle as of episode 8, and I'm not sure if they'd be focusing much on it. The first / second episodes were dark but rest were manageable I think. But I know what you mean, maybe it's not good for binge watching - it would accumulate a lot of dark vibes. & The drama is v unpredictable seriously have no idea about ending.

Loved him in Mouse!!

she could be, right?

& do you think detective park's daughter is hong joo?

HOW?

'And I also saw a comment mentioning that there seemed to be two people and the one attacking Bong Yi in her home and the guy Ba Reum chased weren't the same person' what what what?

I read a theory about the transplant thing being true. They keep showing the scar on bareum's head, the mouse in episode 7 with HH had a scar on it's ears. Is this what the title 'Mouse' means? Could JBR be headhunter's lab rat ? What do you think?

I have started finding her very suspicious since episode 6. It's unsettling.

Yes! I was waiting for your theory haha! 'I think it's highly likely that Han Seo Joon considered the surgery unsuccessful because Ba Reum lost his psychopathy to some extent. As he said, his eyes changed, which are crucial in recognizing a psychopath.' - I love this! I felt the same. Thinking out loud here, this makes me feel that nature vs nurture theme could be used..

Yeah it feels all over the place? I hope the writer starts picking up pieces instead of scattering more & more of them. I feel there has to be political involvement now.

I agree with you, her character is getting on my nerves :x she feels so unauthentic yet she pretends to be genuine idk makes me repulsive. Kyung soo jin is doing a good job lol
