tvN Wed-Thurs Serial Killer Drama Mouse Ends with Trying to Tie Up Loose Ends But Leaves a Mixed Message

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 19, 2021 by ockoalaMay 20, 2021
"Character examining photos in a mystery theme."

My nearly 3 month long Wed-Thurs date with Lee Seung Gi is over, and zero regrets with the time spent. Unlike some of his stupider drama choices (*cough* Vagabond *cough*) this time tvn drama Mouse was too smart for its own good. It was like a math student who got the answer early on then trying to question and outthink … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Mouse Close to Revealing All Secrets, Airs Final Episode Next Wednesday Followed by Another Special Episode on Thursday with Interviews and New Footage

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2021 by ockoalaMay 14, 2021
Two men in dramatic poses, studio backdrop.

Whatever my gripes are with tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse, it continues to keep me wanting to click watch on each episode so that’s a testament to the cast and the still to be revealed secrets I still want to know. This week’s episodes 18-19 was really a bunch of confirmation reveals on a lot of theories viewers have been speculating … Continue reading →

tvN Wed-Thurs Drama Mouse to Air Two Special Episodes This Week Showing Scenes From the Point of View of Lee Seung Gi’s Earlier Drama Psychopath Killer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2021 by ockoalaApril 27, 2021
"Crime thriller promotion featuring two characters."

I’ve gotten a new angle on tvN drama Mouse and it’s all thanks to Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I didn’t watch it due to time constraints but Mr. Koala and Koala Teen Girl did (emo Koala Teen Boy is not into super heroes lol), and hearing snippets on the television and of course being a full Marvel fangirl I … Continue reading →

tvN Mouse: a Little Rave and a Lot of Rant Up Through Episode 15 of the Crime Thriller Drama with Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2021 by ockoalaApril 23, 2021
"Character examining photos in a mystery theme."

I….have a lot of thoughts about tvN drama Mouse, but it’s so jumbled much like this drama I don’t know where the start hence the lack of consistently writing about it. It’s probably the most “interesting” drama airing right now for me, but the majority of that stem from constant WTF, aggravation, shock for shock factor, and general sense of … Continue reading →

Kwon Hwa Woon Goes From Being Shady in Mouse to Guest-starring in Last Two Episodes of River Where the Moon Rises as Kim So Hyun’s Grown Up Younger Brother

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 29, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2021
Two characters, one in uniform and one in scrubs.

tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse has been offing characters left and with at will, zero hesitation. For example, Dr. Daniel is off to sell real estate and now Dr. Yo Han is donning his court hanbok and off to politicking in the Gorguyeo. Actor Kwon Hwa Woon, who I have seen in supporting roles in many dramas but really caught my … Continue reading →

Mouse Episode 8 Ratings are 6.414% With Ba Reum Turning Into a Crack Detective With Secrets Abounding In and Around Him

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 26, 2021
Collage of intense men in various scenes.

I’m so conflicted with tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse, much like the male lead Ba Reum played by Lee Seung Gi. I want to love this drama so much with a fantastic cast and slick execution on top of a twisty script. But emotionally it just doesn’t resonate with me the same way the writer’s previous super twisty thriller God’s Gift: … Continue reading →

Mouse Episode 7 Ratings Drop to 5.502% as the Narratives Jumps Forward in Time and in Trying to be Too Twisty

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2021
Four individuals in various emotional states.

Let me preface by saying I really didn’t like this episode of Mouse. Perhaps if I ended up watching the entire drama and somehow this episode fits in beautifully with the subsequent narrative I will change my mind but for now it was just dull and dreary. I don’t find the so-called twists, feints, and fake outs all that clever, … Continue reading →

Mouse Episode 6 Goes Back to Its Who is the Serial Killer Tricks Bringing in a New Ratings High of 6.672%

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 18, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 18, 2021
Young couple sharing an emotional moment outdoors.

I’ve been watching tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse in a bubble, trying to assess and enjoy without stacking it against nearly identical serial killer jTBC drama Beyond Evil or analyzing outside of what I am seeing. But with episode 6 I went back to the production sheet, I write about so many dramas I don’t keep track of who is the … Continue reading →

Lee Hee Joon Puts on a Tour de Force Performance in Episode 5 of Mouse as the Killer Escalates the Pain

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2021
Intense expressions of a man in multiple scenes.

Episode 5 of Mouse can probably be a standalone episode because it left me speechless. The tactics were frustrating to deliver the crescendo but the emotional impact really washed away all the nonsensical, coincidental, and absurd events that needed to deliver the gut punch. I can’t believe the Korean police would allow a live show with call in to catch … Continue reading →

tvN Thriller Drama Mouse Rises in Second Week Ratings to 6.202% as the Story and Characters Start to Coalesce in the Search for the New Serial Killer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2021
Cast of a Korean drama series, diverse expressions.

I found tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse a bit underwhelming last week, it didn’t grab me as the killings were exceedingly brutal but the characters unknown so it doesn’t emotionally connect. The first and second episodes also didn’t segue well, from the OG serial killer now behind bars to new investigations with some bumbling tone thrown in, I wasn’t quite feeling … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Mouse is Off to a Shaky Serial Killer Chase Premise as First Two Episodes Brings in 4.948% and 4.044% Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2021
Two men in police attire outdoors.

Every time there is a Lee Seung Gi drama I’m on pins and needles hoping my boy picked well and doesn’t end up with a narrative stinker. His recently premiered tvN drama Mouse comes with high critical pedigree from the screenwriter of God’s Gift: 14 Days and Black and a lofty premise not just on catching a serial killer but … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Mouse with Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon Release New Posters, Stills, and Intriguing Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 20, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2021
Collage of dramatic scenes from a thriller series.

Now I’m glad tvN took a three week breather on its Wed-Thurs time slot, after True Beauty ended two weeks ago since it was close to lunar new year celebrations the network moved the follow up drama Mouse to premiere on March 3rd. Otherwise I’d be knee deep in new dramas this week with one more to watch and digest … Continue reading →

tvN Detective Serial Killer Drama Mouse Continues with Gritty Character Posters and Tense New Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 9, 2021
Dramatic character portraits with red string connections.

Upcoming tvN drama Mouse is certainly marching in a no-nonsense way into its early March premiere, with none of the shiny glitzy promos and an overwhelming sense of dread. The first drama poster was pretty plain featuring male leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon staring at something with a police gaze and now the individual posters take the … Continue reading →
