Mouse - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Prisoner Number 1124

Ba-reum's prisoner number 1124 refers to the Bible verse John 11:23-24, which discusses resurrection and rising again, mirroring the show's 'rebirth' theme.

The 'Truman Show' Reference

A line in the show explicitly compares the characters' lives to The Truman Show, hinting at the fact that they were being watched and manipulated by a larger organization (OZ) since childhood.

Parallelism in Prayers

The young Ba-reum and the adult Ba-reum are seen praying in the same church with the same stance, but with vastly different weights of guilt, symbolizing the 'circular' nature of his fate.
