Funny, Heartwarming, Suspenseful: A Blend of Sucess
I don't think I can perfectly express what was it like to watch it for the first time after having rewatched it four times already. At first, I just thought it'd be interested to see a drama to portray a North-South Korea plot. However, it was way more than just that: I laughed a lot, got curious to watch the next chapter, had my heart racing out my mouth with such a fast pace, was shocked on how gorgeous these actors are... Also, about the music, all of CLOY's tracklist is just beautiful, from the rhythm to its lyrics. Everything just seems to fit!What made me write this so much later is that I recommended it to a friend, and she expressed to me the same reactions I did before, really made my go back in time – but the main thing to get my attention and give a 10 star rating for Crash Landing on You is that it makes you think about real things in real life. It's not just some ordinary series you watch just to kill time, but instead a real lesson. I learned how real is that money doesn't buy you happiness, just take a look at our protagonist. Also, you need someone that's by your side because they enjoy your companion, other than just because. I even got emotional when our main couple's first-meeting story was revealed – and I never do!
To say the least, it changed me, from the way I see life, to my personal beliefs. As I was just 11 years old the first time I had contact with the drama, it also brings me so much happiness to rewatch it, as I can travel back in time to how life was back then. Simply put, you'll not regret it – I just wish I could erase my memory so I could watch it as it was the first time again!

Slow start, rewarding middle and deserved end
The Glory's part two is unarguably better than Part 1. The unravel of the story, the way every vengeance is planned and executed is extremely calculated. Also, I couldn't see other end if not the ending of Dong-eun's life, however in the last episode the series proved to be a little humane in letting her live and love. Although the last episode was interesting to watch, I think it could have followed the original premise of a cold hearted Dong-eun or else "warming" her heart throughout the episodes. Episode 15 was the best in my opinion, as it displayed the consequences of the perpetrators' actions.Was this review helpful to you?
Would be better as a film
I didn't think Mouse was as good as some people would say. Despite having an quite interesting plot, the execution was slow and sometimes even confusing, in a way I would wonder how some things could even make sense in the drama's universe.However, the plot twists and the way the main revelation was "hidden" on the previous episodes were just chef's kiss – even if you had already gotten a spoiler (like me)
That being said, I would thoroughly recommend you to binge-watch it if possible in a 1.5 or even 2x speed, as you will forget what happened before if you don't watch it for a long time and also don't lose much of your time that way.
But if you don't want to watch the 20 one-and-a-half hour episodes, "Mouse: The Theatrical Cut" is a much, much better way to spend your time, as it summarises the drama.

A Not Too Bad Fast-Paced Drama
It was interesting to see the evolution of the characters and their relationships in a funny but also harsh way. Of course it had comedy moments, but I would say this drama could be described as more of a "documental" that exposes several mothers' difficulties and problems not always regarding their babies. One thing I liked about it was how fast-paced the drama was: no stalls or boring moments were found by me, it ended exactly where it should've. But it is obvious to me that this kind of topic may not be pleasant for some audiences, I should say. I must also highlight that the acting surprised me, from the protagonists to the supporting roles, they all kept me stuck to the episodes, especially Ms. Jang Hye Jin, who I find to be an impressive professional throughout her various roles, including Crash Landing on You and True Beauty.Moreover, it could be recognized as a pure K-drama, cointaining all the factors to sucess. If you are extremely interested in the topic, or even not at all, watching "Birthcare Center" will surely be an entertaining journey that you will surely not have regrets of.

Original and Thought-provoking
When I got to see the title and poster, my idea for the plot was totally different, I was completely surprised by the originality of this drama. I will not give out any spoilers, but you should know that you will get stuck to your seat and won't be able to stop watching (I personally binge-watched everything in some hours) , as the unpredictable scenarios created by The Death are really, really creative and original, and you will start to question and trying to figure out alongside the protagonist a way for him to survive. The clever phrases and reflexions are also phenomenal! I didn't think the end of Ep. 4 was very logical, though it could be explained in the 2nd Part, to which I'd say I'm quite looking forward to watching.Was this review helpful to you?
