A new video teaser has been released for tvN’s upcoming crime drama Mouse, featuring the main cast: Lee Seung-gi (Vagabond), Lee Hee-joon (Mistress), Kyung Su-jin (Hush), and Park Joo-hyun (Zombie Detective).
The drama’s main conflict involves a dangerous serial killer and the case is handed over to two unlikely partners in the police division. One is hardened detective Lee Hee-joon, whose life goal has always been motivated by the tragedy he suffered as a young child. And all he’s ever wanted is to chase down the murderer who killed his parents and personally take revenge. The second is fresh-faced, rookie officer Lee Seung-gi who has until now just been the friendly neighborhood cop. But after having dealt mostly with small, local matters, this new exposure to violent crimes is an experience that turns his life upside down.
The new video teaser starts with the two Lees driving somewhere in the night and Lee Hee-joon looks at Lee Seung-gi to ask, “Have you ever met a psychopath?” Taken aback, Lee Seung-gi replies, “Sorry?” and the intercutting text screens explain that, “He is hunting humans.” Lee Hee-joon continues that, “No one can know what goes on inside people’s minds.” And we get a glimpse of some of the other characters in a sequence of shots revealing Ahn Nae-sang (Secret Royal Investigator), PD Kyung Su-jin, and high school student Park Joo-hyun.
Cut to an unknown person with bloodied pants and shoes approaching someone from behind. From a distance, we see the dark outline of the perpetrator attacking the victim and the body is dumped into a lake. The video closes on a close-up of Lee Seung-gi who looks worried. And he asks in a serious voice, “When about will this hunting end?”
Written by Choi Ran (Black) and directed by PD Choi Joon-bae (Come Here and Hug Me), Mouse is currently set to premiere on March 3 and will be airing Wednesdays and Thursdays on tvN.
