Review: ‘Mouse’ K-drama (2021)

“Please God, don’t make me a monster.”

“Look at me now. God! Why didn’t you answer my prayer? From this day, I will become the Almighty God!” – Mouse

I am literally sighing while writing the review of this K-drama because it still gives me goosebumps whenever I think about how my emotions went through when I watched this drama. If you have been around for a while you might know I am a huge thriller girly and have read and watched a lot of crazy kinds of stuff. However, this drama OMG has made me realize how much I still need to explore. The ‘Mouse’ is a thriller K-drama that shows the story of a rookie police officer, Jeong Ba-reum who is very much dedicated to his work, however, his life changes when he comes across a psychopath. So he goes on a mission to find him with his partner Go Moo-chi.

As it is a thriller, many twists take place in every episode and it comes out of nowhere. This drama makes you feel like you have figured everything out but no it will prove you wrong. Even when the biggest plot twist took place and I made my theory, however, I was so wrong. I never imagined it to be like that. I was legit gasping and staring at the wall because of what I just watched. This drama truly sheds light on who the real psychopaths are and how they are always in the facade. The plot line is so mind-blowing, I was fully engaged in what was about to come.

The acting was top-notch, especially Jeong Ba-reum, he played his role too well and it still creeps me out whenever I remember him in the drama. I would say there is a lot to this drama, even when you find the biggest spoiler online still there is a lot you will only figure out if you watch the drama. This thriller drama made me realize we truly should not believe a person based on their looks, we never know what they can be from inside. So I will say this drama will give you trust issues about everything.

The ending episodes and ending not only bring a thriller but a lot of tears as well, I still remember how wrong I was about everything and the aftermath of emotions I felt. There are a lot of scenes where I feel like it hit me so much in my heart about how much a person has to go through in order to become someone they themselves don’t want to become, a monster.

My Rating: 10/10

Total Episodes: 20

Genre: Crime thriller, Action, Suspense, and Mystery

“A psychopath who just saved the bird to kill it with his own hands.”

Important: This thriller K-drama is highly sensitive and very disturbing scenes are involved. So I request to people if they want to watch it please please look at the trigger warnings and then proceed.

Why is life not magical ANYMORE?

Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.

Why do you think your childhood was magical? Because you were a child no! Because you were present at that moment because you lived in that moment. My childhood was amazing, I was an athletic child who loved to play 24/7, I can’t believe I am that same person but again as we grow up the line gets blurry between real enjoyment where you feel content from inside and the one where you have to pretend you are happy. In childhood, the biggest stress was all about marks, that’s it. And now when I think about how my childhood passed and imagine how she would be feeling about how the older me is doing is kinda crazy to me right now. The biggest dream in childhood was to become an adult and then we could do everything, how many lies there were? I don’t know why I did not meet any grown-ups in my childhood who had told their adult stories which would make me aware that adult life is deranged. Maybe now it has become crazy and it is safe to say that as time passes by the world is becoming crazier.

So why can’t adult life be magical? I mean I am the same person, right? I am the same person but now I have seen the world in its not so glory, I have seen the real world, the world where I need to work in a way that makes me want to become a child again. As an adult, we are always either anxious about our future or regretting our past, and this is one of the reasons why we fail to live in the present. I know overthinking is a part of adult life, but you are doing your best. We adults need someone who can tell us it’s okay if something goes wrong, and live in the present. Life will always have ups and downs but we have to find the little happiness embedded in them. The present is what we have, and the future is going to be okay, you are going to do it, believe me. Live a little and life will become magical again.

Untitled feelings.

Stillness. Quiet. Solitude. Fresh air. Finding my rest.

The thing I want to get over is the feeling of nothing. When my feelings are all over the place nothing can bring me comfort, no movies, shows, books nothing the more I try to do something the more I feel empty. And honestly, that scares me a lot because those feelings last for a long time and I can do nothing about it. Only time can heal me, I need to feel more sad, I need to think about it until it’s over and that is how I cope with those feelings. Life becomes crazier when you grow up and let me tell you it will not even let you breathe for a second and something is already knocking on your door. The feelings are tough to seek out because they are deep-rooted in your soul and never leave you, it’s all about knowing how to manage them. I never knew it was possible to feel so many feelings at once and at the same time no feelings at all. I have learned that how you react to them is more important and it will lead to how it will affect you emotionally. The game about feelings is that it will come at the most unexpected time and will make you feel so numb. Like sitting in a group of people you are talking happily and something triggers you and you can feel the smile slipping away. I have learned that it is all in you, the second you learn to control your feelings the stronger you get.

I am not telling you to become emotionless or void of any feelings. No, it is totally fine to feel as many feelings as you want. It is okay you are human and we are meant to feel every feeling and each feeling is void. I am telling you that sometimes it’s alright to step back and rest, to let your feelings seek out themselves, to let the time heal you, and it is alright if there is nothing that can work out at that time. Everything will be okay, you are strong, and you are a warrior who just needs a time break to seek out untitled feelings.

alone or not you gotta walk forward

Change it up!

Change can be scary, but you know what’s scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving, and progressing. – Mandy Hale

People, I will begin this post by saying if there is something on your mind and you are afraid to do it but it will bring you a new start, let me tell you just do it. Life is scary and it will never make you feel less scared. I am going to say that nobody has the power to change the life you are living except you. First, you need to accept that life is scary and hard and make yourself strong to live it. There are many moments in our life, where we are afraid to take a step because change is scary but anyway life is scary and what is going to happen will happen nothing can change that. But you have to make that change in your favour, you need to change it up. Give it a try it might not work out but that does not mean you are a failure. Remember the strongest mind is created because of failure and the lessons it taught us. Sometimes change is what we need to find the path in our lives and it will not be easy but living a life is all about taking risks and working on them. Change is unpredictable and is all tied up with fate, however, what if I tell you to do it, do what you love, take up the courage and choose the path that you know will somewhere in the future make you happy, and is there another reason I need to give so just change it up!

Tears won’t fall…

Some cry with tears, others with thoughts…

Lately, my feelings have been all over the place and because of that, I am feeling a lot of different emotions that are very eccentric. The post feelings nowadays describe why this post comes into the picture. You know when at a certain point in your life you come to realize how different your life has become in just a certain span of time. The growth and the development of career and education are a whole lot of different things. However the inner emotions, the feelings, the difficulties all of these make you feel that you are the most stupid person in the whole world. And what is that sucks you know when the emotions are dead there is nothing you feel, you are just going with the flow. It is said that when the feelings are overwhelmed in the heart then you bleed with the eyes, and the tears prove that you feel hurt. However, one thing I realized late is that the heart also bleeds and it shooks up the soul in an unimagined way. But now everything is changed when we say a cold-hearted person does not feel anything you know why because the emotions are dead. There is a wall between the heart and the feelings that is not letting the heart feel anything the tears won’t fall.

It hurts but at the same time, you feel nothing, it’s like a body without a soul. Does everyone go through this phase in their life or is it just me? Your heart bleeds too when it gets overwhelmed by the emotions and your tears are not falling from your eyes. You know now everything will change how you feel, how you used to be, and how you will be. It gives the situation that even though you are surrounded by people on a buzzing street but still from afar you look like an alone person covered in a black hoodie that hides all their pain and emotions. Now all the feelings that were left for others are over, you only need to focus on yourself and your mental health and maybe that is why tears won’t fall…

The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They’re the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.

Feelings Nowadays…

And then suddenly I cared even less.

I was thinking is it good right that we stopped caring, we don’t feel anything, we are in a neutral mood, and we do not fear anything, what happens happens? But at the same time, another thought went through me: why is it bad to be caring, why is it bad to feel anything? Why did we stop caring because we went through something right? Because our voices are never listened to, before we stopped caring, something happened, something we went through that made us feel like this. We are humans and are bound to have feelings; there is nothing wrong with that. It is just up to us how to make ourselves strong and keep our feelings in check but that does not mean we are emotionless. I think the world has misunderstood the concept of keeping our feelings in check and on the other hand thinking it is good to have I don’t care aura. If a person is good at taking feelings that does not mean it will not hurt him/her.

And when things start to get better, you finally start to sort out your feelings that sudden realisation, that what if all those things happened again when you start caring and you see yourself at the same spot what if you are back at the square? And after a while, it feels good when you stop caring because nothing matters right? With less intervention, people just leave you alone and you are emotionless. But what about the inside war you are battling to be honest you also know that you have to do it alone anyway but it hurts more when it actually starts to feel like alone amidst people. And then they ask you why you changed, and what happened as if they are not the reason behind all of this.

And you know what sucks more that nothing can bring you enjoyment like after eating your favourite food, reading your favourite book, or watching your comfort show nothing brings you excitement it’s like you just feel nothing like you used to and now nothing can bring you happiness.

This blog post is very raw. I wrote this in pieces whenever I felt like my feelings needed to be poured out and now when I read this I can see that it’s better to stop caring…

And then one day with no explanation, she just didn’t care anymore.

Anniversary Post – Three Years of Blogging!

Happy Blog-i-versary to me!!!

Let us live like flowers

wild and beautiful

and drenched in sun

14th July 2024

When people say time flies by when you are having fun, it is so true but I also believe those times have speed breakers in between to slow down and truly make you feel those moments. And I also think those speed breakers are to slow down the vehicle and fasten the belt for ahead rocky roads. The above sentences are what three years of blogging looked like for me. I saw myself grow so much, I saw myself become so proactive, I saw myself become a better person, I saw myself become proud of myself, and I saw changes in myself that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t started blogging. You know how sometimes you are asked to do something and are afraid because you might not know how but you just do it and wonder how. This is what blogging did to me. I became so confident, actually talk confidently, put my points out there, and think differently which I would never be able to do without blogging.

Having a place where I can pour out my feelings is a big privilege that I will forever be grateful for. I don’t know what the future holds for me and how many anniversary blog posts I am going to write. I don’t know what next year will bring but till now what blogging has done for me and the lessons it taught I will never forget and will forever be thinking about it.

Thank you to all of you. Without you all I wouldn’t be here. I am not good at expressing my feelings but I will try to open up more. I hope my blogging post brings some relief and happiness to you, I hope that this a girl who likes to write becomes a place where you can just lend on and read a post and find yourself within it. Remember this girl right here appreciates all of your efforts and will forever be grateful for your existence. Thank you so much.

Following are my past anniversary posts just in case you want to check it out. Click here.

I also read my first blog post to see how far I have come.

Life has no script. Live it.

The Beginning…

A new beginning is not a date or a place but a mindset. It’s the moment you tell yourself, “I can do better.”

Why always look at how things ended, how we all want a happy ending, how we all want everything to be worth it in the end because that’s what matters right? Maybe yes, but we also know that a happy ending is just a facade, mostly it’s how we never wanted. But here I am writing this to assure you that it’s okay and why are we so obsessed with the ending because of that we miss something beautiful and mesmerizing which is the beginning. The ending might not be something we wanted but at least we can look at the beginning from where we started and how happy those moments were. Life is all about ups and downs from happiness to sadness the life cycle will continue but it also gives us the happy moments to look and feel in our sadness. Because of the ending, we miss the beauty of the beginning, which might be a ray of sunshine on our cloudy and dark days, we never know so gather all the happiness and keep it for the days when you question your life. We are so distracted with how things end, that we forget how beautiful the beginning was. It might not have worked with several efforts, but sometimes we are meant to do something extraordinary, that is calling our name for that one chapter has to close and another has to open. But that does not imply our memories will fade away, the time spent was all worth it. And lastly, if someone asks if you could go back and do it all again while knowing the ending, proudly answer them, yes because the ending does not matter what matters is the lifetime memories that come with The Beginning.

Some things have to end for better things to begin

Why are unfinished stories more beautiful?!

Love is like war…easy to start, difficult to finish and impossible to forget.

As I have already said, I am not a huge romantic type of a person so feelings naturally do not come to me. However, some days ago I watched a 17-minute short film where the love story remains unfinished and let me tell you I bawled my eyes out and then decided to write this post. It’s a controversial opinion but for me, the ending does not matter if the plot serves its purpose perfectly. The short film included two people who love each other yet can’t be with each other and never confess and trust me that kind of love definitely hurts the most. Love has many parts; one part makes us feel like we are on cloud nine. However, the biggest part about loving is being each other’s strength and facing challenges together. If I read a book or watch a drama I love to see the bonding and how the couple love each other despite the ending. Nobody can change the ending but that does not mean the story can’t be beautiful. Unfinished stories hurt the most, but those stories are like masterpieces about what a love went through to not have a happy ending. I think it’s common that we hear about ancient stories where it is always talked about how two souls have done so much for each other but fate plays its dice and not let the two soul mates be with each other. These are the stories that are more heard and more loved. Because it has such a beautiful depth that brings tears in the eyes and goosebumps on the body. And it is said truly that true love stories never have ended it is loved by everyone and heard by everyone. Unfinished stories set an example of how difficult love is and it is not about the physical but the soul that resides in it. I know it hurts to just think that two people who love each other are not destined to be with each other, nothing can bend fate but that does not mean that unfinished love is not beautiful. Trust me unfinished stories are so mesmerising that you just want to wrap your hand around them and ask how two people can love each other so much that they are ready to sacrifice. Ending this by writing that unfinished stories are the only thing people can find beautiful and heart-wrenching.

They call it a mystery. I call it love. In both cases, the story remains unsolved and incomplete…

I GRADUATED!!!!!!!

So, I close my eyes to old ends and open my heart to new beginnings.

You all I GRADUATED and I can’t believe how fast time has gone. I am a little late with this post but it’s okay I just wanted to share my thoughts and happiness on this and maybe after 10 years I will be back again reliving this moment. On my blog, I have already talked about how my first year started online and I hoped that my last year would be offline in the post Back to the Grind where I began going to university again after the pandemic. My end was definitely offline and I enjoyed it a lot but someday I did feel like just quitting it, I mean it’s common right? As I said earlier I am late for this post however after graduating I went through a lot in deciding what I wanted to do. And had a lot of clashes with family members as their opinions were entirely different than mine and it went on for months. A lot of tears were shed, a lot of discussions, a lot of tense situations and no outcomes were coming out. Obviously, it did come but after months of hard times, we are finally over and here I am I wouldn’t say that this is what I wanted and someday I do think a lot if things had happened the way I planned that would be so much better and life would be so different. But it is okay, I guess I need to move on and I am okay because this outcome is not that bad, just some regrets lingering behind and it will never go away I know that and I have learned to live with it. And now I can feel that tears will drop at any moment.

Graduation feels like a dream, growing up, going to school, college and getting a degree and just like that life changes a lot. In school, it’s just getting good marks but in college, it’s about being a better and a kind person. To be honest for me, college was a safe hole because I did not have to think about the future and maybe I wanted time to stop and let me live in the moment longer but Alas! I made good friends and had a good time getting to know myself a lot better. And I most definitely passed with very good grades and I am so thankful to myself for pushing through and reaching another milestone in my life. And I know now as at this moment there might be a lot on my plate but I am going to be okay as long as I have faith and believe in myself.

To all who graduated or are graduating soon, I am so proud and happy for you and just believe in yourself, the future is going to be okay.
