Which TV series a few months ago? "Something similar to another TV series a few months ago."
I think it was "The Divorce Insurance", IIRC. They also went to Japan but practically all their "tour" scenes were a close-up of the characters while they talk about how awesome Japan was—but they won't even show a wide view of their filming location nor the awesome things and culture of the town. 😅
Then everyhing else was shot inside an office building.
The scenes where they had to travel, it was mostly scenes from inside the car too.
And if I remember correctly, they used a filter to make it look like a 1990s or 2010s Japan. Is was a little dark and a little tinted. But as soon as they returnid to Korea, it's bright, lively, and plenty of scenes showing their surroundings and Korea.
I left the same comment in that show's MDL page, they only went there to have a vacation using production budget. They could've shot those episodes (I think it was 4) in Korea like they always did for 20 years, since they barely showed Japan and the Japanese culture.
If they weren't there to have a vacation under the pretense of a plot, they were like forced because of some partnership or new Korea-Japan tourism agreement. Their Japan arc was low quality and unnecessary. Same with Tastefully Yours. 😅
yeah I think they showed the steering wheel logo before but this time they also showed the outside logo.
Ahh! I only noticed the outisde logo.
And I was like, "Wow, Lamborghini Korea lent them a car!" 😲 I wonder how comfortable Dami was in driving it. But still, so sweet to drive a luxurious brand multiple times even if only temporary!
Even the Japanese characters also played by Korean actors
A very good point!
They just want to visit Japan using investment money. If they won't hire local actors, show it's beauti and culture, they should just film everything in Korea. That's what they've been doing anyway for decades.
I talked about how there's a Fibonacci sequence in the way the puzzles were revealed and how the numerical Fibonacci is some sort of relationship degrees.
It makes sense more now that the serial killer is in the center because deep down she's blaming herself. - What if she wasn't lost? - What if she went home instead? - Why did she ever think her good mother abandoned her?
To her mind, she is indeed part of the puzzle. The center. The number 1. Because it all started with her.
- If she wasn't lost, none of it would've happened. - If she was never born, her mother wouldn't die a miserable death.
She is a serial killer. But she is not a psychopath. She's depressed and angry. When she received her mom's diary, it threw her into deip depression. She was already depressed as it is, the diary made it worst. That's why the Captain was also blaming himself.
And for her, thinking that her mom's diary drove her to the point of no return, further pushed her deep down into oblivion. "It's not my mom's fault! It's because of me! I won't go down alone! I want to face mom and tell her I avenged her!"
But why did Ina cry for her and later secluded herself, even didn't give a police statement?
Because in a way, Ina felt terrible. The killing stopped exactly because no one paid attention to the puzzle pieces. But 10 years later, Ina started to solve the case. The police department assigned her to their partner psych company and eventually found her way to her.
"Ahh! That kid! And she's still bothered by it! I'll restart the killings and puzzle pieces. This time, I'll make surm they'll make it public."
The real ending was Ina closed her room door.The scenes after that and up to the dinner, those were the after…
Regarding the new case teaser. The first piece was the center. It looks like they'll be doing the proper Fibonacci sequence for that one, IF it.ever becomes the story for S02 and IF there'll ever be a S02.
The scenes after that and up to the dinner, those were the after credits scene.
Then the scene with the bew puzzle piece is S02E01 opening scene. Notice how she has long hair? It hints that at least a year has passed since their dinner.
S02 may or may not happen. In fact, S02 may not even be abbout the teaser case but a completely different one. They probably will just hint about the teaser case as the first case she took on after returning to service.
What does the end means? It cut from the interview made it seem like Ena took on he baton that Seungjoo left behind…
1. Her hair is longer. It hints that at least has passed since they had dinner. 2. Just a teaser that they might do a S02. "Might" is the operative word.
it's not easy to find a mission person in 80s or 90s,you can't blame anyone nor mother or cops because there was…
It's so hard to explain.
1. Cultural differences. 2. Differences in laws. 3. Who's to say her mother never looked at orphanages or the police never investigated?
As someone said, in the 20th Century, a kid can easily get lost and never found again. I'm 1982, I grew up in the 80s and 90s. From the Philippines. Kidnapping was rampant here during those decades, even adults were kidnapped (my 1st ex-gf's uncle was kidnapped once in the 90s). So, we just understand it that way.
It's understandable if it doesn't look like it's "realistic" if you were born in the mid-90s onwards, because they grew up in a time when there are plenty of CCTVs and laws improved. But, since the time period she was lost was sometime 80s and 90s, again it's so hard to explain you just have to accept it for how it really was IRL. 🙂

They seriously just want to visit Japan using sponsor and investor money. 😝

It's rare to see a rich character to actually drive a real super rich car brand.

The ending was when she closed her door.
Think of it this way. The scenes after she closed her room door were the after credits scenes.
Then the new case scene was the opening scene for S02E01. Her hair is longer, it means at least a year passed.
They're just teasing. It may happen. It might not.
2. Just a teaser that they might do a S02. "Might" is the operative word.

The ending of the story was when she closed the door to her room.
Any scene after that is a teaser for a possible Season 02. They may do it. They might not.
