Fresh Idea, Too Many Plot Holes
I appreciate that the series tried something new and different, and that is probably its biggest strength. However, there were far too many things that simply did not make sense.
How was the first phone hacked in the first place? And if they could already hack the first phone, why did they even need the second one?
I also did not understand how he was able to replace the real person’s fingerprint with his own. Even if we accept that it was possible, why were there no previous records connected to that person?
The main character suddenly leaving the house without taking anything with him also felt extremely forced.
From the beginning, he could have at least tried going to the police and telling them everything he knew. Even if he was afraid to go in person, he could have called them.
They accuse him of being a terrible person because he stole someone else's ideas and published them, while the other side literally kills multiple people. On top of that, the other person had years to write and publish the book himself. Even if one idea was taken away from him, why did he never write any of his other ideas? What was he doing all those years?
Dropping out of university because of a rumor that two people slept together also felt ridiculous. If the rumors bothered them that much, changing universities would have made far more sense.
The same goes for the woman dropping out of her master’s program because of the rumors and then basically staying at home for years. It just did not feel believable.
No Ja was another issue. He seemed to know from the very beginning who was following him, yet he did absolutely nothing about it.
I also found it hard to believe that everyone in some random village would be willing to risk their lives and attack the police just for money.
And what exactly motivated the guy with the shotgun? His determination to keep chasing them was never properly explained. Why was he so loyal and persistent from the very beginning?
Even if the main character could not prove his identity, the police could still have investigated both sides at the same time. Why did they focus entirely on only one version of the story? There obviously could not be two identical people with the same identity, so investigating the other person should have eventually exposed the truth.
The arrested man had already told the police most of what happened, including the identity change, so that made the lack of investigation even harder to understand.
Overall, it genuinely tried to do something different. Unfortunately, there were too many logical inconsistencies, and the story also felt rushed because everything had to be squeezed into Netflix's 10-episode format.
