“I feel as if I became Lee Jong-seok in the drama”… This is the reason why so many viewers are into “Big Mouth”
Many people said they felt like transforming into the main character Park Chang-ho (Lee Jong-seok) while watching “Big Mouth”.
Starting with the helpless feeling and despair, you will continue to feel the sense of revenge that has been nurtured by the anger and the instinct for survival then move on with the desire to grab the bad guys and make them collapse. But at the moment you think that you’re taking a step out of the play, you will feel like getting stabbed in the back again. MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “Big Mouth” keeps the viewers focus on its development because it let them feel the complex emotions that Park Chang-ho goes through.
What happened to him? Who is the real Big Mouse? Why is he doing this and why did he try to attract the attention of Park Chang-ho? “Big Mouth” creates a story centering on such questions and makes it the driving force to arouse the viewers’ interest. The answer can have something related to Professor Seo’s death and his secret documents or the experiment that is linked to Gucheon Prison and Gucheon Hospital, which is believed to have some connection with the documents.
The secret behind the characters’ backgrounds revolving around the mysterious identity of Big Mouse is also one of the reasons that make the viewers immerse themselves in finding and reasoning the clues. Although there were suspicions that Jerry (Kwak Dong-yeon), who was Park Chang-ho’s closest helper in prison, could be Big Mouse, such predictions seemed to have disappeared after the scene where Jerry appeared to have died after rescuing Park Chang-ho from the risk of being imprisoned again was broadcast. However, the fact that Jerry is still alive confused many people and once again made them wonder if he was the real Big Mouse. What kind of person is Jerry and why does he keep hovering around Park Chang-ho?
Mayor Choi Do-ha (Kim Joo-heon), who dragged Park Chang-ho into the case from the beginning, turned out to be a person with some secrets since he was recently revealed to be an accomplice in the murder case of Professor Seo. Although he was often found in conflicts with Gong Ji-hoon (Yang Kyung-won), Jung Chae-bong (Kim Jung-hyun), Han Jae-ho (Lee Yoo-joon) and Lee Doo-geun (Oh Ryung), he was said to have helped them abandon the body at the time of the incident. Of course, this action doesn’t seem to be a help but a way to seize their weaknesses.
In addition, Choi Do-ha was also the one who stole the missing 10 billion won gold bars. In the end, he knew the content of Professor Seo’s papers and pocketed money that NR Forum planned to invest in the project related to Professor Seo’s thesis. However, Choi Do-ha, who is helping Chairman Kang (Jeon Kuk-hwan), looks like he is hiding something. Choi Do-ha’s relationship with his wife Hyun Joo-hee (Ok Ja-yeon), the director of Gucheon Hospital seems to be good, but it is not known whether they’re sincere to each other or not. Of course, these details are not listed to suggest that Choi Do-ha is Big Mouse.
In the story where there are so many hidden secrets and secrets keep appearing as you continue watching, many viewers were gradually put into the position of Park Chang-ho to experience various emotions. Starting with the despair at the beginning of the drama, the audience will gain the hope and catharsis of becoming stronger to face the real Big Mouse in order to survive. The revenge scene where the plan of Jung Chae-bong, Han Jae-ho, Lee Doo-geun, and prosecutor Choi Jung-rak (Jang Hyuk-jin) were exposed and the overturn of their acquittal was overturned were predicted and broadcast live on SNS thrilled many viewers.
However, as Park Chang-ho overcame the crisis once and he is getting nearer to finding out the identity of Big Mouse, the drama revealed Choi Do-ha’s secrets little by little and brought out the events created by experiments in the prison and the hospital related to Professor Seo’s thesis. Like a character in a game, if you solve one mission and move on, you are given another more complicated mission. Therefore, many people express that they are becoming more immersed in the character and falling deeper into the world of “Big Mouth”.
In fact, the world of “Big Mouse” is not realistic. This is because most of the fights in court, prison, and hospital that appear here have already been dramatized and they can only be dealt with in this story. However, once you have already stepped into this world, you will inevitably fall deeper into the swamp of curiosity due to the power that the work holds. Also, just like enormous powers use and exploit innocent people like lab rats, the appearance of Park Chang-ho being used by Big Mouse attracts the viewers.
Park Chang-ho literally represents the viewers who have been too immersed in the world of “Big Mouth”. When Lee Jong-seok, the actor who plays Park Chang-ho, cries like an innocent child, the viewers feel pity for his helplessness then naturally gain the same energy for intense revenge and curiosity about the truth after jumping into the fight to survive. Before the viewers can realize this, they are already enjoying the feelings of Park Chang-ho.
