MBC's kdrama Big Mouth was finally released legally in the US a couple of days ago on Hulu, so naturally I binged it.

In it, hapless attorney Park Chang Ho, nicknamed Big Mouth for always promising more than he can deliver, is set up to be a patsy for the infamous criminal Big Mouse (the two nicknames are homonyms in Korean).

The drama is absolutely stellar and executes its goal perfectly. They told us what they were doing in the very first scene! This isn't a story about finding out who the *real* Big Mouse is; it is -- to borrow language from NBC's Hannibal -- a story of Chang Ho's becoming.

From his first appearance on screen we see that Chang Ho cares little about justice. He just wants enough money to be more than comfortable. The very first time we see him in a courtroom, he had bribed a judge. He cares little about doing the right thing. He's just trying to survive. He was still outmaneuvered by the opposition, a seemingly frequent occurrence in his life. He asks himself why. He's smart, he's fit, he's capable. So why does he always lose? The answer, supplies a friend, is that he has no connections or money. As we know from a billion other kdramas about corrupt rich people and politicians, this is what makes the South Korean world turn: connections. From his first few scenes with his wife to the reaction of his clients to losing the case, we learn that he's also an excellent liar. People believe in him.

And that's our setup: An intelligent, fit, believable liar who's just trying to survive in this world without connections or money.

Yet suddenly he's in prison and being accused of being a criminal mastermind. The only way to survive is to assume the role he's been given, to use the influence of "being" Big Mouse to gain connections and money and ultimately, freedom.

This drama is about his transformation, but unlike Hannibal's Will Graham there is no shadowy manipulator trying to coax out Chang Ho's dark side. No, his becoming is all his own. You can see the seeds of it in him from the very first episode, and watching his unveiling is absolutely chilling and delicious!

From what I can gather, viewers who critique the drama mostly do it because they had different expectations. They wanted a Vincenzo like story, where Chang Ho becomes an antihero meting out his own brand of justice. They wanted to see vengeance, Bad Guys getting their due, and victory for the little people. That would have been a great story! But it's not THIS STORY.

This is the story of Chang Ho's becoming. He was supposed to be a patsy. He refused.

As they told us from his very first lines of dialogue, this is a story where THE TRUTH DOES NOT MATTER. Why? Because once revealed, nothing changes. The world keeps spinning. Everyday people are too busy just trying to pay the bills.
