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://mydramalist.com/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.

Black and Mouse are both fantastic writing. Gotta watch Iljimae as well.

Great acting in Mouse. Acts with his whole body.

I really hated the breakup since the reason wasn't logical. The watchman was only doing his duty, either the administrator son or he had to die in the battle. And they didn't discuss this until the last minute. Also hated the fact that the second couple became the first couple in the end. San and Dan Oh couple were just forgotten away. The best moments were when we didn't know yet who was who.

After 13 episodes, this became boring. Really loved it in the beginning. Should have been 4 episodes shorter.

He wasn't suited for the role, he could just acknowledge and accept the directors' decision. There's no mistreatment here, rather they made an unfortunate mistake, but mistakes happen. He chose to make it public that they ditched him. I hope he will get motivation to develop rather than fight the decision. The image he has is a fluff comedy side character, and weekend dramas are typically not quite that. They just needed someone different for the role, expression-wise and probably also personality-wise, for the sake of the teamwork. Looking forward to see Ha Joon in a lead role.

I'm loving this so far. While it's not immediately hooking, it grew on me and I'm really looking forward to the last episodes. A calmly paced series about healing. The found family trope is my fave and this is so sympathetic. On a sidenote, Hwang Seok Jung masters the hula dance moves and gestures perfectly (it's not an easy one).

Just silly and the humour is of the lowest kind. Still, it was funny in places. I watched this bc it came to Viki. Not my type of thing normally. What a waste of good actors. I felt second-hand embarrassment for them. Basically a copy of the American movie where 3 guys go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party (don't remember the name)

She is a great actress

Brilliant actress. Devil Judge, Mr. Sunshine. Pls give her more lead roles.

Devil Judge is such a masterpiece. Going to watch Miss Hammurabi next.

Brilliant, wicked writing. Painfully realistic: a scamdemic, a vaccine developed for an imaginary virus that isn't harmful except for people already dying from other causes, using humans as lab rats, pervasive censorship, hidden goverment of the wealthy and powerful. Been there, experienced that. This was therapeutic and healing. Almost a historical account of the nightmare that was the past 2 and a half years. Overall message being - for me - how easily these things might happen again. 9.5/10

I sort of lost interest altogether when the beginning scene showed that one of the 2 ml's died. Maybe he didn't, but as it was portrayed, no attempts were made at restarting the heart. Maybe will return to this after all ep's are out if it gets a good rating.

Awesome, well deserved.

What a touching drama. I am really happy that this turned out to be such a high quality and unusual drama. Great writing, memorable lines.
