02/04/2024Not sure if 50 episodes is something I will do all the way UNLESS this can keep up the momentum as well as my interest engaged.
The first two episodes have had cute moments as well as cringe worthy and embarassing ones, but at least the kids equate to adorable.
In it we have a mother with major debts and her three children surviving the best way they can only unfortunately the mother isn't the best role model and tends to step on people's toes. They all end up living at "Mr Romantic's" family home (short term) until the mother does the unthinkable.
As for her daughter (Beauty), she happened to bump into a teenage boy one day (Mr Romantic) and ended up having the biggest crush on him even to the extent of letting him know it and kind of stalking him right until they had to suddenly move.
15 or so years later when she is famous they cross paths again.
And this takes us into episode 4 mainly...
Before I forget - the child actors have done their parts really well!
Actually, the boy that played "Mr Romantic Junior" is a lot better looking than the adult male version of him that is for sure. It is a shame he isn't doing both parts as he would have got my approval - just being cool and a rebel got the thumbs up.
One little thing that irks me with the adult him is the cool rebellious boy teen of yester years seems to have been replaced by a fumbling awkward idiot.
Bring back Prince Charming is all I will say!!!!
If this drama could drop all the screaming interfering women and irrelevant scenes that aren't really about Beauty and Mr Romantic I would probably stay in it for the long haul.
Women that scream and scream and yell for the sake of it irritate me no end - so episode 4 has brought this down a notch or two from the NOT TOO BAD department to OH NO! MY EARS ARE BEING INDISCRIMINATELY ASSAULTED YET AGAIN.
Will have to to do a wait and see approach...

The Mouse Is In The First Episode!
20/01/2023
The first episode in this series is simply the best!
Most will be on the edge of their seats experiencing tenterhook moments I reckon as it has one of the longest in depth graphic murder scenes, ever!
I just wish the other episodes that followed had been done in the same fashion not that they were terrible or anything plus I haven't finished the series yet.
Unfortunately, I worked out who the serial killer was early on as soon as I laid my eyes on him and that is why I haven't gone further than three episodes to date.
On checking to see if my suspicions were correct (they were) has more or less brought everything to a halt for me regarding Mouse.
I will get back to it and finish it at some point, but not right now.
What I will say is that the characters so far have been awesome as well as the story, but it would have been better had they misdirected or fooled me more.
I really wonder how many others worked it out like me?
Regardless, this still deserves recognition so comes highly recommended as it is a unique series full of suspense, gore and great story telling as well as characters that make it believable.
Most viewers will be eliminating potential suspects to get to the serial killer only what they know mightn't be right or who they think it is mightn't be the correct person...
Or...maybe it is the right one!
