Unique and subtle.
It’s good, a worth watch. But I felt something is missing. I could feel what the director wanted to show, but it sometimes came off guard. The editing is not good, with many things cut out due to fitting it into 8 episodes.The first half was superb, well-engaged, but later it gets a bit dull as scenes became repetitive without much progression. There’s also an issue with the screenplay—it could have been more intact and expansive. Instead, it felt very congested, limiting the story’s potential. I think it really needed some unanswered questions to be talked upon, so Season 2 is a must.
By the way, I loved this series so much—that’s why I talked a lot about its minor problems. I absolutely loved the performances, the cinematography, the production value, the score, and the direction. Well, that’s it about it.

Good drama but story is fully lacking, it may have been better
At first Very unique to a regular Chinese ROM-COMSfter watching 1at few eps Plot is good aching skills also in very high note
Every time you see the Male lead you like want to see him acting more as well as female lead. It's mostly like female oriented plot but giving good screen space to every character that's the biggest plus point of the drama thats why ilike it and reviewed it.
Especially its good and twisted ROM-COM.
Im looking forward to it what will happens next.
In the midpoint of the drama Many boring scene it has and the negative points of the drama is the story and direction ,it's the worst direction i ever watched and the screen play is like running in Olympic
The drama looks like xu kaicheng is having a guest appearance the welcome him and saying him to say a dialouge then get lost it's happening like this.
That's why i really disappoint with the drama ml didn't get a good screen space but whenever he came to screen drama has its heart.
It should have been better.
For all actors acting and music 10/10
Thank U

WATCHED ONLY FOR YOO-AH-IN BUT THE STORY IS WHOLE MESSED.
Drama concept is unique and good but the story is many way lacking so much, actually it's not developing except the ending scenes which gives thrill to audiences for next seasonIf there is no Yoo Ah In the drama , it shouldn't be that hipe Or worth watching. I really had a great expectation of the drama but it's somehow disappointed ,
How can be that type of brainwash be believed by every single people it's not acceptable.
How can there every people exept the things, that it is God's will after seeing their own family members death. How can there be that much of politics other than trying to find the details about those creatures. Except 1st ep and ending scenes none of the scenes are exciting or new. Or be valuable at all, THE WHOLE STORY IS MESSED.
I hope season 2 may not be build like season 1 , hoping for good.
Let's see when ,and how it will go forward.
Thank U.

It's quite a perfect drama with superb acting & it's worth watching
I watched many k drama's. Till date startup just blow my mind with strong cinematography and classic direction. All actors doing great job as specially Nam Joo hyuk . All episode are engaging brilliant to watch the drama no regrets. Specially this drama deals with great concert and plot loving to watch these type of drama. I didn't mention its background music and designing its very unique and cool actually. And bae suzy as usual doing great job actually the cast is perfect. And I'm very excited to see suzy in our indian🇮🇳movies, she is in indian 2 movie cast it will great to watch her in our movie. At last I'm looking forward to next episode. In EP 13 14 the story is full of boring very bad directing, it's pace gone slow and slow very disappointed after watching EP 14, all things are illogical. In do san mind dal mi has no feeling for him he believes it for 3years but after he suddenly wants to join dal mi company its very illogical. Plot is totally missing. Looking forward to next episode. The ending EP is as usual a happy ending. It's worth watching but as compare to starting the ending EP a little lacking. At last it is a superb drama.. Of romance, sucess struggle comedy, emotional full package of entertainment.Thank you.
Bye! 🙂

Mouse what can i say!!!
Masterpiece. From a long time i haven't watched,, not from a long time i actually haven't watched this much of intense thriller and suspense kdrama with hard but reality-based ending . What a character transformation of lee seung gi after watching that we cay say that he shows the peck level of acting skills, you will goosebumps by seeing him acting it's really best performance by lee seung gi in MOUSE. Many folders are also not been opened .......Mouse also has a little bit of loose point but to compare to acting Lee seung gi blow all our mind towards him, what a brilliant acting, its really really intense to see him in a such character. I'm actually a big fan of lee seung since vagabond,after giving brilliant performance in vagabond the expectation is very high which is fully fulfilled by seung giThis drama has everything , it has romance action thriller, suspense, character growing healing everything
If you are a thrilled suspense lover this drama is perfect for you and the seung gi fans out there who whants to see seung gi in a intense villainic character mouse is for you.
At last i want to say that I'm very satisfied with the drama and special mention to the screenwriter and director did a great job by focusing what they want to saw us.
I'm giving highly recommended mouse for those who loves intense suspense drama with high intelligence.
Thank U

A Thought Provoking Business political thriller with a romantic touch 2024
Some viewers might not have liked ep 5, 6 but I liked it, the writing and script should come out with realistic realism which most K-dramas don't show because of stereotypes but reality works like this there is no one who is good and pure everyone wants to be rich and live as much comport as they could have. The rich hate the poor and the poor hates the rich vice versa. The different ideology of the middle class (Tae Ho, Hye Won) and rich groups (Kang In Ha, Kang Jong Ma) was brilliantly shown by the director in the 6th episode when Kang In Ho didn't think about Tae Ho who almost died and he did what his father would have done, even his father is using him he knows it and Tae Ho is the one who brings him up infort of his father but he didn't think about him Ina life and daeth situation. At Another scene in the dinner where Joong Ma didn't show slightest of intrest in Hye Won or didn't even asked her name and then she stood up for her self respect and spoke in a tone most of us would have. The plot is great from the first episode itself as it focuses mostly on realistic aspects like if you are getting a chance to become rich or you can become rich if you push yourself in the direction where you can reach if you give your little more time or marry an conglomerates/ rich person's son even if you don't have any feelings, will you choose it or choose your feelings for a person where your future is unpredictable where you don't have assurance that you won't struggle in the future because you are choosing a common man. Will you choose your feelings or money comfortabl life this is the thought that most people must have in their mind, I know the problem, the problem is that you are connecting facts to the plot but not liking it because it is not white and not showing the lovely moments but more of a realistic approach. But rest assured I can guarantee that in the remaining ep u ll see the dynamics of the common man the lead actor actress VS the rich the conglomerate family including Kang in Ha then the real power struggle and the potential of the writing will be judged. My writing intrest is for the audience who ate not watching it cause of law ratings but trust me watch the 1st 2 ep then decide. By the way the lead actress has to learn a lot in ,she is struggle a lot in complicating scenes a lot but as its her debut as lead in a demanding acting scope character I thing she is doing good,why are you worried about acting when the brilliant actor lee Jae wook is here & he can carry the series single handedly. what a gifted talented actor he is in this age.Episode 7 and 8: The episode should start and end just like this as a single ep of 2hrs, now i get it why they release 2ep in a single day slot in a week. it's getting better and better and I can see a banger ending for it.
The character's motivation is becoming clearer, the little realistic things which director adds is commendable, which is not the case in most K-dramas.
Inha has never been a trustworthy person, right from the start, he's a socio-psychopath who tries to control people under him, kills for his own benefits isn't it worst .now his motivation is clear.
Why people feel bad for him, I don't know and the cheating part I'm saying again he deserves it and it will hurt him more than this as the secret is revealed & much more yet to reveal.
Tae Ho, Huijie is the most righteous character from the whole series in a turbulent evil world. As it intended to be.
And you got it right Hye Won is the impossible heir. I agree, her acting is obviously bad, there's not much improvement from her side, but I will never give her personal troll for it as i have seen worst actress than this after doing many dramas & it's a very difficult character, you need to have courage to accept this as debut. I only hope she learns for it for her future project.
There are many other reasons to absolutely love this series.
Starting from the varied dynamic range of characters to watch, the acting, cinematography, writing, music, production, and finally the direction. Let alone the design and capture of the 2 minute chase sequences, it is enough to mark it as brilliant.👏 I'm loving every bit of it& i could not find any
upcoming drama in this range.

Unique KDrama
Starting is quite interesting and very very unique concept for me, after watching many kdrama I found it is quite different concept and full of engaging scenes with superb cinematography. All actors doing great job. Omg kim ji won what a beauty can't blinck my eyes for sec & ji chang wook i can say that one of the great k actor. 1st EP is interesting fun watching with little Loofols. After watching 1st episode it looks like it has a great writing and what can you say about its director one of the best director of k directing. Usually kdramas have 16 EP but it has 12 EP with 30min each but its 30min equals to a full episode of other dramas due to it's superb direction with great screenplay. Looking forward to next EP I hope that has much more fun than the current ep. After writing this I can say that It's worth watching I can bet on that you can't regret after starting the drama. Don't miss............!!!!!!!!!!Thank you.
