Mouse gave a deep afterglow with the ending where ÔÇťpredatorÔÇŁ Jung Ba Reum shed tears of penance and atonement and died forlornly. Lee Seung Gi convincingly portrayed a character with various features, from a naive and somewhat foolish police officer and a veteran detective with excellent skills to the bloodthirsty predator.

Q1. Both your project and your acting are receiving glowing reviews.

I said I wanted to be recognized for my acting, but something always felt short. But IÔÇÖm thrilled and grateful that people are complimenting me. Especially, the most impressive comment was, ÔÇťHeÔÇÖs really different from other psychopaths.ÔÇŁ á The script was intense and solid, so I thought I could just go along with the story and the vibe. But IÔÇÖm flattered that people are showing great interest in my character. ┬á

Q2. For the first time, you played a villain role, no less a ÔÇťpsychopath.ÔÇŁ

While playing Jung Ba Reum, I felt how much depth an evil role could have and how it can broaden my acting spectrum. If I can show various sides of me, I am ready to challenge anything.  

Q3. I canÔÇÖt wait to hear your thoughts about the ending.

The writer did such an amazing job till the end. I think it was the perfect ending that Jung Ba Reum could have chosen and that the viewers could accept.

Q4. What did the actors talk about on the last day of shooting?

I realized how much improvement I can make and how I can disappear into the role once I team up with great actors. On the last day of the shooting, we couldnÔÇÖt have dinner together because of the pandemic. Also, we all ended on different days. We promised to meet again once the situation gets better. ┬á

Q5. WhatÔÇÖs the most memorable episode during your shoot?

In the last episode, Jung Ba Reum and Go Moo Chi meet in the interview room. And that scene is stuck in my memory. Apart from acting, itÔÇÖs been a long time since I sincerely cried as I disappeared into the role. I gave my heart to this performance. Something like this rarely happens in an actorÔÇÖs life, and I am grateful Hee Joon, for allowing me such a precious experience. ┬á

Q6. Lastly, anything you want to say to the viewers who are waiting for your comeback?

IÔÇÖm going to take some time to recover my body and mind and look into various works. Since I just finished a heavy and serious series, my heartÔÇÖs kind of set on rom-com. But itÔÇÖs not set in stone. IÔÇÖm trying to look for an approachable and funny series. Plus, the character and his story have to enter my heart, so IÔÇÖm trying to review the offers with a relaxed mind. ┬á Source (1)
