This type of series and movies are the reason why I just love this genres. And this series is such a masterpiece. Its dark, its raw, it just defines this genre in the best way.

REVIEW : This is a series that is not for the people with weak heart. If you love a series with happiness, with love, with perfect beautiful ending..then I will suggest that you should not watch it.

Coming back to the series, right from the beginning, from the very first scene...each and every scene and episode is connected till the very ending, the very last scene. Right from the beginning..when the story starts.. slowly you start getting questions with each and every passing scene... and by episode 12-14 you are just filled with it. You are confused, you don't understand anything about what is happening, who is doing what, why its happening and many more such questions. And right from then you start getting the answers. All the dots start to get connected. Everything starts making sense. All your questions starts getting the answers for what you were wanting so long. All your assumptions starters getting to prove wrong. Everything you have thought just turns out to be wrong. You have to watch the very last episode..the very last scene so get all the answers. To get everything clear. To understand the story totally.

This is a type of series where you have to keep your eyes and brain open. And if you don't understand korean then you have to make sure that you read each and every word that you see in the subtitles. Because if you miss anything, then you will not be able to understand anything after that... That's how connected each and everything is in this series ?.

I must say that makers did a great job. The way everything is portrayed..its just brilliant. Actually I honestly don't know what is the correct word to describe the brilliance of this series. Its just mind blowing ?.

ACTORS AND ACTING : Everyone, literally everyone did a great work. No matter how big or small was their appearance was, but every character have a strong impact. Non of the character was just for nothing. All the characters were equally important and meaningful. There was no unnecessary drama. That's what make it more amazing. You don't feel bore.

The actors did not just played the roles, they lived that. You can feel their emotions through their eyes. All the pain can be seen in their eyes.

LEE SEUNG GI (JUNG BA REUM): He is the person around whom the whole story moves. The main person who is the creator or the destroyer.. whatever you say?. The acting skill of this man, my God. He is just amazing in what he is doing. The way he presents his character..the ups..the downs..the shock. Everything he feels just gets transferred o you with his eyes. You find him wrong in the starting but then by the end you feel pity on him. You feel sorry for him. You feel that he didn't do whatever he did with his own wish, he just didn't had any option but just to do all those things even if he was wrong.

LEE HEE JOON (KO MOO CHI) : This is his revenge story. The person who suffered right from the childhood because of no reason. He is the one who did everything to solve the mysteries. To get the people punished because of who his life was filled with pain. You can see that pain right in his eyes, in his body language, in each and everything he do. You can see his desperation of how bad he want to get them punished.

PARK JOO HYUN (OH BONG YI) : The girl who faced a horrible incident in her childhood and slowly overcome it with the passing time. She is brave, courageous, loving, caring, understanding. She is the common but special girl. She one of the main character that holds a lot of meaning in the entire drama. A girl who struggled a lot. Bear all the physical and mental pain and still stands up to fight again.

KYUNG SOO JIN (CHOI HONG JOO) : According to me, this is the person who the most mysterious. You have to watch the entire series to know about this person. She will keep on giving you surprises till the very end. By the way she is very beautiful ?.

KWON HWA WOON (SUNG YO HAN) : The most innocent character of the entire series. The one with whom everything was so unfair. Like everything. He was the one who was just caught in the middle of every thing. Right or wrong. Who is the main character who is involved with everything in a different way.

BACKGROUND MUSIC : The music is so deep, dark and it totally matches with the plot..the storyline. It adds more meaning and intensity to it. Its so catchy.

RE-WATCH VALUE : If you ask me, honestly I may not watch it again as its a thriller-suspense-mystry series. And one you discover everything in the first time.. watch it again for the second time is no fun. But yes, if you are watching it with a friend then ya..you can watch it again. It will be fun to see his reaction with every surprise ?.

CONCLUSION : This is a must watch for every suspense lover. Just don't miss it.

I can't begin to describe how much I love this series.. love the mind game. It keeps you wondering. After each episode, you are left with excitement, many thoughts and urge to watch another episode ASAP. Even for someone who doesn't normally watch crime/ thriller like me, I am hooked. Some people might say it's too confusing and not realistic. Well, the title itself says " what if we sort out psychopaths in advance", you can't expect a simple plot, documentary movie. It delivers everything it says. It's too interesting and you can't miss a single minute of it. Please watch it and enjoy all the mind blowing twists and turns ( they will brainf..k you too). :)

I like it when a really good tv series or movie takes me away into the imaginary world for a few hours and engages my curiosity. I love solving puzzles. And this series has all I am looking for.

When you watch each episode, you will be overthinking after that😂. Lots of mysteries are presented, and lots of puzzles too. You have to watch this!

One of the 2021's best psychopathic thrilling series... highly recommended.. the twist plots, acting is so perfect and unique in its own way...

This time they crossed the line, but in a good way. It is a series that is too strong, although it has some censorship, it causes a lot of impact when it comes to watching it. It makes the viewer tremble in the armchair, intriguing to know more and more, in that aspect each chapter has something new to deliver through its mysterious narrative and twists in the plot that will make your head spin and you will have the need to know what it happens in the next episode. This is what causes Mouse: intrigue, confusion, sadness, drama, anger, nervousness and a lot of panic. 100% recommended and of course not suitable for sensitive people!

This is so far the most awesome crime thriller I ever came across. Really hats off to the person who wrote this or think of the extremely great concept. Actually, I really don't have words for this or words won't be enough to explain this drama. Since I'm crime thriller and twist lover, I pick this up as soon as I heard about its hyped. But,as I said, words aren't enough, the hype felt weak infront of this. How can someone write a drama with so many plot twists? Like seriously! There are about 20+ twists and none of them feels like irrelevant. These all felt like biggest plot twists. What else can I say? I just loved it and this is the best crime thriller for me right now.

One of the best korean dramas I have ever seen.... Perhaps the best one... Every episode is full of thrill...

The best crime thriller I ever watch, every twist will blow your mind. Don't miss it, a must watch for all.

Every episode is thrilling..at the end of every episode it made me curious about what happens next.. it's addictive.

The good things about this show are the acting, directing, and the 5th episode. That's it. Now let's move on to the cons.

The major cons of the show are the writing and editing. It feels like the writer has ADHD, there are too many details thrown at you at the same time, making it hard to focus. Even if you pause to catch up, it's still difficult to understand what's going on. What bothers me the most is the numerous silly coincidences and how everyone is connected in the past and present, as if Seoul has only 20 people. The story's first half was captivating as I tried to identify the serial killer. However, the story lost its spark from episode six. In the second half, the plot became messy and uninteresting. It kept dragging on by introducing new characters every ten minutes. There were too many murders and plot twists, but I couldn't care less.

I feel the writer worked hard on the first five episodes but forgot he signed for 20. A lot of things didn't make sense. For example, the producer felt extreme guilt as a child and decided not to go back to her parents. How could a child make such a life-changing decision? And how did she manage to live by herself? Or when the grandmother found out who's the serial killer from seeing a small shirt button in a picture, IN THE DARK! The most laughable part was when one of the victims' mother was convinced that the suspect was innocent because *brace yourselves you're about to witness the most convincing reason ever* it's because the suspect once told her "Please don't die, don't die so you'll see the real culprit gets caught and punished* chills, literal chills! I have no words to describe the brilliant writer behind this genius part. She even, no kidding, stated *her reason* on national TV as if it was undeniable evidence. It was truly one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend the series to anyone; it's not worth your time, and you won't miss out on anything genius.

Watch it and you won't regret it. The story is engaging until the end so you will never be bored.

Each and every actor played their role perfectly. Lee seungi never disappoint. He blown me away by his acting and the kid played that role was soo perfect. And the lead detective too his acting is great. It's really really good thriller series one should watch it.

The story is suspenseful and there are a lot of plot twists. Give it a try.

I just love this series. It's even better when you go back to the first episode and watch them all again to catch all the twists and turns. If you're a true crime fan, you'll be hooked.

The acting and script is phenomenal. Its easily the best show this year 😳.

This is my first ever Kdrama and iam absolutely blown away by the story telling..writing...screenplay and BGM...what not everything is so perfect regarding this show.

Special mention to the lead actors...Jung Ba reum.. Ko Moochi...Bong YI... Director handled the suspense very well. A Must watch series for THRILLER fans...It will be full meals for sure.

This is the first time i can like this genre. This is not like other story of psycopath...but more deep...beyond my imagination...until i cant speak anymore Just AMAZING!!!

Must watch!or you will be regeret.

Best twister in series inthe world and lee seungi acting is phenomenal and other also and main is the emotion,analysis, cliffinger, and smart work of characters and past and present collaboration if any emotional scene it wil make you in tears 😭

The first quarter of the series is really good and gripping. Then it kind of goes down a "huh?" path, like the writers had to come up with so many twists that they're just pulling them out of their hats. I love twists; but a lot of them didn't seem to make much sense. Overall, the acting is good, though, as well as the CGI used. If you like to be shocked, but don't worry about taking things TOO seriously, I think you should give it a shot.

Enjoying the thriller a lot. It keeps me so involved and on my toes, this is what I want in a good thriller. LSG has done a great job with his acting.

Mouse is a work of Art. Riddled with mystery and plot twists, be prepared to flex your brain alot especially in the earlier episodes. Mind you, this is not some typical psycho crime thriller, about just catching psychopaths and body counts. There's a deeper and more meaningful message which makes the show all the more interesting and unique. Everything nicely unravels and explains as the episodes progresses.

On another note the acting pedigree in Mouse is insane and it also comes with one of the most EPIC and memorable endings that I have ever seen in Kdrama history.

Fair warning that its not for the faint hearted as there are a lot of tragedies to deal with which can be too depressing for some.

Note : Watch 2 special episodes, "Mouse the Predator" after episode 15, before continuing on to the next episode. Very interesting and worthwhile.
