How come nobody is questioning why he had to press the button?
He didn't! He could've sat there and tested their patience.
They gave him a loophole and he messed it to make a statement, like an idiot.

What a stupid show. Those who think it's a good take on society must've been in a different reality than mine. It's just a bunch of producers, milking a dead show with half baked "ideas", and relying on unsophisticated people thinking it's much deeper than it is.

She was great in Mumu.
I think she is one of the best child actors I've seen.

The little girl is a genius.
But yes, they were really deaf. You can see their real jobs and stories at the end of the movie.

Funny. It was an entertaining watch.

I think it's a PR thing. They are marketing police using former Olympic athletes. You can see they were using the female lead as a poster girl just outside the station

I think you are looking for serious action, so you are on the wrong place.
They are supposed to ruin it every time they are close because they are incompetent. They all fail quite often, not just Heo Sung Tae. Even the villain gets silly sometimes.

I don't know when they will stop hiring actors who are seemingly too big for their roles, so that they end up being involved in the crime. I mean if you see Kim Sung Kyun and Park Gyu Young just hanging around in a mystery/thriller and not really having any significant lines, it's safe to bet that they have something to do with the murder. I mean they literally transitioned the shot from someone saying "it could be someone we know" to a shot of Park Gyu Youn drinking with the female lead at a bar in episode 3! How more obvious they could be?

I'll probably pass on season 2.
It was somewhat enjoyable, but it was very predictable, it lacks character development, and everything just falls into place without much effort. Nothing really impressive comes out of the detectives. The female lead is a cliched combination between Sherlock Holmes and Detective Conan. She and the male lead just run around and chit chat with each other without really deducing anything. Plot Holes all over the place to a point where it became too unrealistic. Overall, it feels more like an "iconic" character generator, not really an intriguing mystery or thriller.

I agree with the daesang thing. Apparently, if you talk about it enough you win it. I think both Jong Kook and SeokJin were more deserving of the award. It still astonishes me that JongKook only won it once, even when he constantly has a high variety brand reputation, he is a social media sensation on their YT channel, he often has a bunch of SBS programs, and basically carried the channel.

It was mostly scripted to begin with, but I think it's becoming even less natural nowadays. I could swear I haven't seen a scene that wasn't fully staged in a while. They used to film things that they were doing anyway every now and then, but now everything seems to be set up by the production team. They invite each other to go some places, and they do competitions. Like do you do this in real life? No? Then what's the point of this show?

Yeah, I know. But anyone can have Parkinson's and he mentioned it like it was relevant to the fall. So, it could be either, and I don't think the writer would choose something fatal. It is a comedy after all.

Why are people worried though? Is it because of the call?
I think he mentioned when he fell down that Mohammed Ali had Parkinson's which could mean that he has it too, especially since his fingers tremored as he was falling. Parkinson's isn't a terminal illness. Although it is disabling, you could live a long life with it.

I'm glad she wasn't. I can barely tolerate her. Why did you choose her though? Is it because they look similar? Or because she played once with Park Bo Gum? I don't like reoccurring couples. We already saw them once as a couple. That would be like watching Reply 1988 twice. Park Bo Gum had a similar "cute boy" personality there too.

Mercy For None is a serious action, though. There are plenty of good Korean serious action, but I only started seeing Koreans do comedy action dramas recently. I haven't started it yet, but I'm planning to since I like Seo Ji Seop.
If you compared this drama to Korean comedy action dramas, it's kind of decent. I watched Study Group, it started well but the second half was very boring, and I thought The Fiery Priest was awesome, way better than this. A Shop For Killers is good too. I haven't watched Weak Class Hero, but people recommend it a lot.

I tend to put myself in a thriller writer's shoes (even though I'm not a writer), so I figure out the ones with a twist of "that person you already know but didn't suspect" pretty easily, and I spend the rest of the drama lying to myself that it's not. That's why I like it more when it's someone I don't already know or someone is revealed to be the killer at the beginning and you just enjoy the journey of catching them.

yes

I think I was the most clueless watching Kairos, God's Gift and Beyond Evil. Beyond Evil has a similar vibe to Mouse and it was released in the same year. I watched it before watching Mouse so maybe that's why I wasn't too intrigued when I watched Mouse.
I don't remember when they revealed the villain in Ghost and Defendant, maybe it was at the beginning of the drama, but I thought they were the most entertaining throughout. I think they don't follow the cliche of the villain being someone you already know.

I watched many Korean thrillers that I thought were great, but maybe we don't have the same taste in thrillers. I was quite the opposite. I usually doubt myself, but in Mouse I didn't budge. I thought there is nobody else in the world that could be it, and every scene after that proved it to me, because it was too convenient that they left a room for the villain to be it.

You might be watching it as a mystery or thriller. I'm watching it as pure action. They already revealed the villian. All is left is watch them do some good stunts and comedy bits. I don't care if or how they arrest the killer. Maybe that's what's different. I've never expected an action drama or movie to have a story. Most watch it for the stunts or the "action". I understand, because if I was looking for a thriller and watched this I'd be disappointed too.

I hated Mouse the most even though I really enjoy thrillers. It was very overrated in my opinion. Didn't you find out who the villain was very early on? I didn't like the "journey" once the ending became too obvious to me.
