Luckily for us, the Philippines has served as the setting for several international movies over the years.

It was a project that I had a lot of worries and thoughts about, but above all, I was happy to be able to show you a new side of me. Time passed and it was time to send Changho, and I would like to thank everyone who supported Changho.
Thanks to the love you sent, I was able to finish it well.”
Lim Yoon-a, who completed the courageous and courageous Go Mi-ho by uncovering the corruption hidden by Gucheon-si in 'The Solver of My House', said, "I feel moved and saddened to let go of 'Big Mouse' and 'Miho' first. It was a time when she met the wise and confident 'Gomiho' and learned a lot both as a person and as an actress."

[Ten Asia] opening → ending... Lee Jong Suk, a cathartic 70-minute one-man show ('Big Mouth')
Actor Lee Jong Suk performed a one-man show from the opening to the ending of the drama 'Big Mouth'.
In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Big Mouth', which aired on the 20th, Lee Jong Suk filled 70 minutes with his hard-carry performance.
Lee Jong Suk did not miss the raging emotions of the main character, Park Chang-ho, who was faced with an extreme crisis, but completed the survival action to survive and the scenes of happy memories of the past with excellent acting skills, taking on the weight of the one-top drama.
In the 8th episode, Park Chang-ho was imprisoned in a mental center by Gong Ji-hoon (Yang Kyung-won). Gong Ji-hoon tortured Park Chang-ho by administering a confession drug to recover the large amount of money he had been scammed by Big Mouse.
Park Chang-ho was engulfed in a bizarre fantasy as if he was a real big mouse, and memories of his happy past with his wife Go Mi-ho (Lim Yoon-ah). Trapped in the pain that he couldn't even breathe properly, he couldn't even come to his senses. Park Chang-ho, who barely crossed the threshold of death, started the plan again. It was an attempt to distract the attention by falsely blowing the space where there was money, and to recruit people to escape the mental center.
However, before Park Chang-ho's plan succeeded, Gong Ji-hoon returned. At Gong Ji-hoon's words that he found only one gold bar, Park Chang-ho realized that Big Mouse was watching this situation as well. He bought time for Big Mouse to save him, and, as he expected, a fire alarm went off at the mental center, and Jerry (Kwak Dong-yeon) disguised as a firefighter came to the rescue.
The acting that disturbed the opponent as if he was about to lose his mind, the anger at losing Jerry, the hard and warm heart toward the Gumiho, and the cool charisma of vowing to punish him were all overwhelming. By freely moving through a wide range of emotions, Park Chang-ho's spectacular narrative was expressed in detail and delicately. Not only that, he proved once again that he was Lee Jong-suk by filling the play with his passionate acting that did not spare himself, such as showing survival actions to get out of the mental center.
