Full Action Packed Gangsta Film
Why is the villain scary? Because he stays calm. There are very few instances where Jang Chen lost his cool, but the truth is that he collected that anger and exerted that anger while killing his foes.The film feels even better when we get to know it's a real life story about the gangs back in 2002–03 and how police somehow arrested these vicious MFs. The world building was good and Villain came with nothing but a desire to expand as quickly as possible.
The film's climax was good, action keeps getting better and the final battle just keep you on the edge of the seats.

Amazing Action + Thought provoking
Damn This was a Rollercoster ride. The MC was not good at saying his own thoughts and take inspiration from fictions like Bruce Lee movies and improve himeself. I was like this and probably still am lulz. But MC and his extrovert friend both liked the same shy girl but his friend took action while he didn't.And then with father's frustation and being looked down he eventually bursts like a volcano, making a scene in School. He again met the girl but as usual it didn't go as he wanted. The lost oppurtunities and lost battles, that's what happened once in a high school.

Obsession
I didn't expect much from this movie, but it was decent, in my opinion. I digested this movie with the motto that this is fiction. The main teacher was problematic; cheating and taboo relationships will leave a bitter taste in your mouth, but the wife was so mature and pretty.Still try it out if you want to see an age-gap relationship or teacher-student romance. Jo Bo Ah acted like a true lunatic, and her character will stay in my mind rent-free. Ending was surprising but still I think that's what happen if you f around.

Wholesome, Nostalgic & Feel Good Drama
Ah, I completed this drama in 2 years. Yes, I started it in November 2021 and watched 15 episodes, and then in January 2024, I completed the other two remaining episodes. And I can say it is one of the best dramas you see. If you're someone with a low attention span or ADHD, you probably won't like it.Because it's like a slow melody, like how Korean dramas used to be back in the day. The acting, cast, and story are all fulfilling. Gong Yoo is hands-down the best Korean actor for me.
I really wish it would have had 20 episodes because this drama has potential. But nonetheless, I recently finished it, and I recommend it to every human being to watch these wholesome 17 episodes. You can have a better story, you can bring a better cast, and you can bring better directors, but still, nothing beats this 2007 show, even after 17 years. I'm so ecstatic, and I thank God every day for introducing me to Korean dramas. I love you, Gong Yoo!!

The K-drama unable to be Masterpiece BUT
I started this K-drama after being disappointed with Signal 2016, and as Signal had higher ratings, I thought Mouse would be just an okay show to kill time, but I was so wrong.Mouse 2021 is one of my favourite show from now on and Lee Seung Gi nailed his role. Lee Seung Gi is so good I used to ignore him but I won't now.
The show is Great, Good Suspense, a nice mystery, Emotions, and Serial Killers. But the main problem is that the show is too dramatic, and the police get clues so quickly. A show broadcasting serial killers was so unrealistic.
Also, the ending was good; I was not disappointed at all. That's how it should be.
But the overly dramatic plot is the thing that, in my opinion, I won't rate it 10/10, but if you don't care about that and are okay with drama, this show will be a good thrill. The last few chapters are always boring in any K-drama, and so was the case with Mouse, but I'm glad it ended on a good note, which compensated for the stretched episodes.
Highly recommended if you Love Serial Killers Movies, Thrillers, Suspense and Mystery with a pinch of sci-fi.

Great Movie is all I need to say
I watched this because I wanted to see some serial killer movies, but then I stumbled upon this and couldn't appreciate more how suspenseful and intriguing, this movie was. I really liked the pacing of the movie and the direction, too. I didn't have much expectation for this, but it turned out to be a great watch, so I'm extra happy now.It showcased how people are. Nobody is black and white, all are grey and all had to do certain things in life that are not morally correct. And they showed the Serial Killer as a cunning man and not some psycho with sharp hunter eyes and gaze shit, which I really hate. All I meant to say is that the Depiction is actually realistic, which makes this movie pretty good.

Relatable K Dramas
I watched this back in 2021 Quarantine just because of Park Seo Joon, but later became a die-hard fan of Kim Ji-Won. The drama really showed the future of how the class nerd will treat you if you don't succeed. That's not the main theme, but I really liked that. The acting was excellent. I didn't find anyone lacking in Four Friends.I think these are the dramas that have the potential for the second season, but let's end it that way. A great Rom-Com, and Kim Ji Won really nailed her part.

Cringe and Awfully Scripted Drama
Uff Why did I waste 4 days on this drama? The show is pretty cringy. The police officer is Grim Reaper, wearing a black Balenciaga to assert dominance. She can't scream properly, probably because of Botox, but her acting was like 7/10, and I didn't expect that. Boy Ko-Eun Ho was the embodiment of a saint. Man was as pure as God, but that's not a realistic character. Cult as a Church, omg! Cliche!In one scene, the bad guy was beating two officers left, right, and centre, but when our Balenciaga cop stepped in, he suddenly started moving slower and couldn't land attacks.
I think people should skip this drama for something good. The only good thing about this drama was Park Hoon. Only his character and acting made me watch it to the end. Otherwise, it's boring. Also, that teacher is the most fragile male teacher ever born; he's so cliquey and cringeworthy.
Useless Details were added, like suddenly some new details were added which were as unnecessary as you can think of. Flop drama for me!

Lousy Chase
I can't make anything out of this movie. Serial killers is just low-life butchers. He just wants to kill women. And police with proper high-tech Korean technology can catch a killer because our lousy serial killer threw 12 tons of evidence at the crime scene. It's like he doesn't care about anything because he himself called the police after committing murder.In the meaty part of the movie, both the killer and the brother had infinite chances to kill each other or the deaf girl. But they just threaten each other with knives. It's a mess. They're just trying to make the audience emotional by portraying meaningless scenes, which can't be performed when a serial killer is after you. Normal people seem to not understand anything; they just take anything at face value.
