“Big Mouth” Episode 16 Review

WOW!!! That was an ending…. A terrible one…. How could you end it like this? This is so underwhelming and overwhelming at the same time, it may feel like a contradiction but basically, the entire last episode is that, hot and cold in different areas.

I didn’t expect them to kill off Mi Ho but it sort of makes sense because she was exposed to radiation. I mean, as a chemical engineer, the way the main characters died was honestly funny because death from radiation can be slow and painful, or VERY quick [depending on the dose] and it is very different from how its portrayed… but its a kdrama, what can I expect?

The fact that Mi Ho died looking this good and after getting to see the trial and all of that…. Its honestly funny because if she was exposed to radiation, her bones would begin to disintegrate, her teeth would fall off, her hair would fall off and she would look like a corpse before her death but we can’t have that in kdrama land.

Also, I didn’t sense that Chang Ho was THAT sad about her death, I didn’t feel it conveyed in his face especially considering how he was when he was arrested at first. Maybe its trauma….

The screenwriter had the entire last episode to dedicate it to the demise of mayor Choi but instead, we’re given a voiceover montage for the last 3 minutes of the run time to explain how everything was brought down after they killed off the bad guy in the most uneventful and calm way possible. It would have been way better if they just exposed him to doses slowly and watched his life crash down, did you have to kill him like that?

The dude died without facing consequences for his actions, he died a very quick and painless death, and for what?

I get the message the screenwriter might be going for… but this ain’t it. The last episode should have been dedicated to bringing him down completely, yet, the screenwriter wants to make a point about how justice is poorly served and you’re better being the head of a criminal organization that does ‘good’ while punishing evil… what type of message is that? Whats the lesson here?

Just because Chang Ho is now part of the organization it doesn’t erase the sh-t they did and the fact that he’s still with them says a lot about his character when he knows it was part of the reason why Mi Ho died.

So what do you guys think of “Big Mouth” ending?
