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.

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.

A modern take on The Count of Monte Cristo. Lee Jong Suk returned to the scene with a vengeance. He plays the character Park Chang-ho, a fast talking lawyer who gets tangled in a murder trial and ends up in prison. While trying to clear his debts.
Lim Yoona plays the dedicated wife, Miho, whose unwavering support, along with her lawyer father and his partner, help Chang-ho reveal the truth.
This drama has me on the edge of my seat. Just watch it, you won't be disappointed.
My ONLY grip is I had to jump through hoops to watch it in the US. Disney really missed an opportunity for the world to see this fantastic drama.

"Lee Jong suk" the actor that never fails to entertain us with his masterclass acting and must say what an acting by Yoona she indeed worked hard for this drama. The cast are too perfect for their specific roles. Anyone hesitating to watch this drama, please do try it's just perfect in my opinion ( I have been watching K-drama since 3 year just for your clarification). Every episode has its own impact and full of logical suspension.

TBH I can into this show with low expectations. Starts off just like typical dramas, but boy, do the plot twists blow you mind and have you applauding. The actors are great too. You find yourself running home to see the next episode. Of courses there are great performances to pull all this off.
If you do get past the first half of the first episode you will be hooked, rooting for the characters.
They should also do a western remake of this.
This is an unexpected joy. A masterpiece.

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!

I have recently watched this series, and this this series is totally mind-blowing. The story of these series to totally unpredictable and thrilling , all actors did their job( character ) perfectly, in every episode you want to know more about this series and find something new and goes to deep of the ocean of the story, i have never watched this type of series before and i enjoyed it.
I ruffly explain you the story of the series or drama without any spoilers, the main character is a simple lawyer and incompetent and wants to be a big competent Lawyer, His life has Changed and goes to darker side when he decided to take "One Case" and he's struggle to survive his family and own life.

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...

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...

This drama is one of the best k-drama i've ever watch. I've seen thousands of drama out there and this one is for sure one of the best. I thought the story is going to be boring, too dark and cliché, but NO. Not at all. This drama will make you join the main characters on guessing who is the bad guy behind his misery. It has mistery that will not be solved in only one or two episodes but the whole season. But, it doesn't worry me because the story keeps getting interesting every episodes. It will not dissapoint people who enjoy crime show, mistery, romance and a little comedy.
It also has one of the best cinematography, plot, directing and acting.
All actors in this show are perfect for their role.
Especially, the male main actor Lee Jongsuk who portray a character Park Changho. His acting skill is so good. It's so satisfying to watch his acting.
I watch this show on Disney+. It's only available in selected regions, so i'm blessed that it's available in my country. It's really worth to watch.

If you've watched Game of Thrones, you know what the title means.
This drama has so much potential to be the best I've watched that are about gangster and shi. So many plot twists that could hype you up UNTIL they rushed the ending. Last episode ended with so much mess that it hadn't sank in me yet that the series already ended. No closure at all. Like I questioned myself, "What the hell? Is that it?". It's like I just wasted my time watching it. So many plot holes that are not resolved in the conclusion. It's the writers fault that they introduced so much characters that they don't even tend to explain and finish their story. Props to the actors tho especially to the main villain that you will hate so much. Would rate this as 4 but I love the casts' acting so I added 2 lol. But if someone ask me if I would vouch for this series, I wouldn't recommend this to them. Ending's just not worth it.

Climax is disappointed.. if someone saw the last episode then never be given 10 rating in imdb. How can fool the public you can understand after see climax scene . Personally I want 1 or 2 episode more not expected a easy and formal climax from this series..first episode to 15 episode mind-blowing.. but last episode how can directer finished it not perfect ending and also not given perfect of miho and bigmouse ending scene. And also not given perfect punishment to all bad baadaas.. finished it as quick as well.. it's show like timeline given by producer that's why they quickly. If you want to see it .. FULLY WORST LAST EPISODE.

If you are crazy fan of mystery, this drama is full of excitement and best of all kdrama I ever seen before. I watched over 100+ kdrama of mystery but nothing hits me more than this, so awesome and beautiful story which I like the most & then actors which are outperforming this series.
Then it comes to overall ratings I will give 10 of 10, because whenever I seen past tv show or web series I just watched it for some curious factors but when I watched it it's..... Awesome storyline & perfect scenes looks very attractive & realistic.
Moral of this review
Just watch it, instead of regretting later even if you have issues with actors not their acting.
