There’s something to be said for sticking to your guns. Before their show even aired, the creators of serial killer thriller Mouse clearly laid out their intention. They wanted to realise a fantastical “what if?” scenario: what if a psychopath could feel remorse for their actions?
The resulting programme, a manic and maddening melee of murder and mystery, held on to that notion, which scrapped and heaved its way through the show’s twists, turns and puzzling detours.
Actress Kyung Soo Jin participated in a series of interviews about the tvN drama “Mouse,” which aired its final episode last week.
In “Mouse,” Kyung Soo Jin played Choi Hong Joo, a producing director (PD). She was involved in a romantic relationship with Sung Yo Han, the character played by Kwon Hwa Woon.
Kyung Soo Jin said, “Kwon Hwa Woon’s character was very cold at the start of the drama, like a psychopath. He wasn’t actually a psychopath, but someone who is very rational and logical at heart, so he came off as very cold. It was a bit difficult for me. Usually actors will share emotions with each other in romantic scenes, but Kwon Hwa Woon was so good at playing his character that it was like acting opposite a tree. I couldn’t exchange emotions at all. I had to take the lead, a softer approach, so I think it came across as more maternal than romantic.”
Kwon Hwa Woon, who played the character of Sung Yo Han, a professional doctor who was wrongly accused for being the psychopath in the drama, revealed his precious memories with the cast.
The 31-year-old star shared that Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon were busy during the first day of shoot but were able to execute their roles smoothly.
Kwon Hwa Woon Confessed How Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon Helped Him Throughout the Drama
The actor confessed that the two main leads never get tired of working, they showed what true professional actors looked like. Passion and determination were always present in Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon, and seeing them made Kwon Hwa Woon be inspired to do well in his work.

With Go Moo Chi (Lee Hee Joon), Oh Bong Yi (Park Ju Hyun), and Choi Hong Joo (Kyung Soo Jin), finding out the truth about Jung Ba Reum’s real identity, it will be intriguing to find out what will happen in the last episode.
