Coming to Netflix June 17th! Yessss!!

Funny & sweet & entertaining drama. Found family is one of my favourite tropes. I didn't expect to like this so much. It's nothing very serious but not everything has to be. Cha Eun Woo slays in the role of MJ, he's totally a scene stealer here. Lee Se Young and Yoon Shi Yoon chemistry is great. Only the OST was unbearable, had to mute it down constantly.

Ga On and Soo Hyun is a slow burn romance with tragic ending

me too. really enjoying it

it had something to do with their distant personal relationship, if I remember correctly, not politics.

it's 1987, the dictatorship in SK is slowly ending. The secret service still has free hands to detain and torture democracy activists and students - who they label as commies. It's natural that the grandfather supports democracy activists. The Baek brothers' mom and older brother were massacred in the Gwangju uprising.

yes x 3

I suppose if we could see their eyes and faces it might be watchable. Those haircuts are sheer torture. I'm tempted to attack the tv screen with scissors.

by now, there should be a ban on bangs. Nobody looks good in that current hairstyle. Bowl cuts for men, also should be forbidden.

I really like this article. More like this!

Laugh out loud slapstick comedy. Really great, perfect in its own genre.

Doing good things is the best revenge. Evil people will be followed by other evil people.

I love the writer - in the midst of all the revenge dramas this: "The best revenge is to live a good life". I have been hoping and waiting for some such sanity. If you hold a grudge the grudge holds you. An eye for eye leaves the whole world blind. Finally some real philosophy and ethics. And the humor is excellent. The lettuce gansters are hilarious.

I struggled to finish. When there was a mystery about the village, it was good. When it all turned into the usual hunt of the murderer around ep 8, it got really boring. Two last episodes I mostly skipped. Let's just say this totally lacks the magic to make a really memorable kdrama. I definitely won't watch Season 2.

Good thing that I came to read the comments. I haven't really been enthusiastic about this (except for the cinematography and Bona) and advanced very slowly to ep 8. Now can peacefully drop this knowing it will only get worse.

The first 10 episodes were immensely intense. Fantastic. Especially the episode where the priest was killed in live television, felt like we were in the middle of it right there in real time. Some of the best k-drama ever made. However, the plot twists made we want to stop watching at ep 15, yet I trudged on, and am glad I made it to the finish. I don't think Mouse is a masterpiece, though. It's more a sci-fi than psychological drama. The psycho gene and the very existence of psycho serial killers, are pure sci-fi. I think the number of serial killers in this world is less than 10 and we know all about them, since they're mythologized, to the detriment of tainting our very view of humanity. The mothers changing their babies, is a thing that no mother could do. That the PD did not return to her family, is another incomprehensible solution. The OZ organization was a deus-ex-machina solution, and we never really properly learned why the members chose to do the atrocities they did. The OZ was added just to give a societal problematics in the form of a sci-fi scenario, but it was too little and too late. If the strand had been there earlier, it would have made more sense. Dr. Daniel's lack of ethics also was something that needed a more thorough investigation. LSG's acting was fantastic, but Lee Hee Joon was phenomenal, imo. Really loved his acting.

If anyone (the writer of this piece, in particular) is interested in what MDL contributors think of Phoebe, visit the reviews and comments: https://kisskh.at/707983-love-ft-marriage-and-divorce-3. I'm not really keen on MDL just putting out what the producers send them. There's a writer name given, therefore the "writer" should not just be a copy and paste machine. Basic journalistic responsibilities, mandate to make a difference between an advertisement and an article.

Love ft. Marriage and Divorce never did get an ending after 3 seasons. Only the first season was popular. What are the chances that this will not be ended by the same attempt to fish for a new season? And leaving everything open? 50/50, imo. I have zero trust on the writer. I think she may have 1 fan but look at what people have written about her in MDL before repeating the uncritical praise.

Tbh, I never liked Jung Il Woo's acting and never will. So there, kill me now.

This is short but I'm really struggling to finish. Was okay-ish until the 10th ep, then went downhill and to the bottom.
