Big Mouth

Overall I really liked this drama. Though the ending was sad, but it was justifiable. I do want to add some shortcomings, 1)The ending seemed rushed, it was like reading a novel , you are connecting with all characters of it, in each chapter but in end, there is one paragraph written with one line for each character, ending it in a good note, but by this you don't really connect to any emotion of protagonist.

2) In few last episode, a new plot was added, so till last episode I waited for a new character to appear, but none appeared, I felt this plot was really un-necessary for the main plot...

Acting to the plot! Everything is so perfect! Cannot really wait for the upcoming episodes. Thank god this is not like any other married couple drama with a weak female lead and Yoona had done an amazing acting! Kudos to the team!

One of the best K-drama I've ever watched . First 11 episodes are literally breathtaking & full of suspense but ending could be better. I must admit Lee jung-suk & Kim joo hun's acting was mind blowing. They played their character perfectly. Other important characters like Female lead ,Jerry, Director juhee & Gong jihoon were good too. Ending of former Big-Mouse wasn't as great as it was showed in the drama. How come a mafia king like big mouse would die like a street dog!! He had no security, no bodyguards? There were some incomplete plots too otherwise this drama is really good. I'm literally impressed with story, VFx, acting & music. Love this drama...

Big Mouth is the perfect example of a classic thriller. The increasingly high ratings for all the episodes indicate just how riveting the show is. Sadly, where one would expect it to end with a bang, it concludes with more of a fizzle.

If you're looking for intrigue and shock, then Big Mouth has it for you. The plot is fast-paced, gripping and ticks all the thriller check-boxes. There are twists and turns, alliances and political games, and a realistic look at how hierarchies and power structures work. Packed with suspense, the moments of revelation are some of the show's best scenes.

A story is only as effective as its ending. If it can't stick the landing, all the preceding hours of excellence can feel like a waste. This is the problem with Big Mouth. While it gave us fourteen enthralling episodes, the last two just don't live up to the same quality and rushed without any development towards the end at all. All in all, Big mouth is still a strongly crafted thriller which should be watched fpr it's tension and suspense, with a subtle pinch of romance.

My Rating : 8.5/10.

I would have waited until the whole drama had aired, and maybe not even reviewed it all, but the 10 or so gushing reviews so far prompted me to say something after episode 12.

I get that ladies love LJS (and I am one of them) but he wants to be known for his work as a good actor, and not just to be uncritically promoted by his fans in incoherent posts that praise everything he does. Ditto for the Yoona fans who get together and bombard every platform with positive messages. This is a review section not a fan wall.

Yes it's fun guessing who Big Mouse is, and events move fast with a lot of twists and turns, but just as with sleight of hand and card tricks, sometimes so fast it disguises improbable plot progression and also attempts to hide the holes. With four episodes to go, it's all action and no explanation, lots of icing and maybe less cake than expected. Viewers are put in the position of having to accept this or abandon the ability to suspend disbelief and start asking awkward questions instead.

The acting across the board is very good with compelling performances by Kim Joo-hun as the dodgy Mayor Choi and Yang Kyung-won as the over-the-top media king Gong Ji-hoon. With an overwhelmingly male cast, the handful of females manage to hold their own, and Lim Yoo-na does a decent job. However the acting honours go to LJS, whose performance as Park Chang-ho holds the whole thing together.

The speed at which events travel, the constant ups and downs of just about every character, is slick but exhausting. I may return to this review when I've finished the whole series and I hope it manages to keep all the balls in the air until the very end. For now, I could wish for more sense and less sensation, but let's see how it goes.
