1. They should've ensured that the Korean prod team had control of filming in Japan. The shift in style and quality was too obvious.
I am not saying that the Japanese have low quality production, rather, this is a common pitfall when filming in other countries. To save budget, the foreign production hires local prod to handle things. This often changes the style and quality. I'm from the Philippines, and I can tell if certain scenes were actually filmed in our country or not, and if they hired/partnered with local prod and gave them more control or not.
Some scenes from Mission Impossible filmed in Asian countries also suffered the same. The Jason Bourne spin-off was the same. Some 007 films filmed in Latin America had similar issues.
Yes, it's also possible that for them to get a permit to film, they were required to give the local prod more control. Then they should've declined and filmed in Korea instead of going to elsewhere. Different countries have different styles and qualities in filming. It was obvious here in E05.
2. They wasted screentime "touring" Japan that was not actually a tour. Was it to showcase Japan? Because honestly, they did not showcase anything. Mt. Fuji? They did not even go to the best place to see Mt. Fuji. Foot spa? Dinner?
And the outdoor scenes were mainly close-ups. We can't see "Japan" at all. The culture. The people. The life. They kept the frames up close and personal. Many of it were done inside a car too!
If they can't show the environment, then why bother filming in Japan? For the brand sponsorship? If the reason is "because of Korean and Japanese sensitivities", again, why film there?
3. What's with the filter? Were they trying to present Japan as a country stuck in the 1200s? Then they should've "toured" where samurais are.
4. And talk about culture and touring. What was with the WIND scenes about its products with a very sleepy dialogues and "tour presentation"? Who told them to do it in a sleepy and very boring way?
"These are blah blah blah."
Dead air
"And these are blah blah blah."
Dead air
"He's cute."
"That's his son."
Dead air.
What the F?!! Get lively people. The CEO should've been proud and excited to present their achievements. The actor is a good actor, so who told him to do it that way? Unless he was sick when it was filmed?
5. The negotiation room. That was the best they can get in Japan?
6. The dialogues they gave the Japanese, they should've let a Japanese adjust it so it's natural. And the sake scene, was that even needed? That the Japanese people are greedy, ambitious, conniving employees? Practically every culture is like that, and K-drama revilves around that, so why repeat the same trope for a Japan scene?
I can't even feel "The Art of Negotiation" with a Japanese company in Japan. Are they trying to depict that Japanese companies are greedy and is out to take advantage of foreign companies? That there is "art" in negotiating with them, there is only "war"?
🤣🤣 At least that was his assumption. But the kid 1ML didn't call him "father". Qnd the 1FL's mother was…
The way I understood it: The 1ML's mother is just a close friend of the 1FL's bio father. It was why he had second thoughts in carrying the kid ML, especially since his wife is there taking there photo.
While the FL's stepfather was looking their way when he heard the kid, and he knew what the kid was asking. He is probably 1ML's bio father. Which would mean, his real crush was 1ML's mother.
But 1FL's mother got jealous. Ordered stepfather to kill them all, and forced him to marry her with the promise of taking over the company.
Or, he probably accidentally killed his crush, and 1FL's mother knew it and blackmailed him. Then forced him to kill her husband and marry him. As for the 1ML surviving, remember he walked to the home of Sister Agnes and her mother adopted him. Either stepfather saved him, and thanks to his amnesia, everything went smoothly.
🤣🤣 At least that was his assumption. But the kid 1ML didn't call him "father". Qnd the 1FL's mother was…
Yeah! Step father was looking toat them in the second photo.
You know, what if 1FL's mother was not his crush but rather 1ML's mother? And when 1FL's father carried the young 1ML, step father got jealous?
Then 1FL's mother used him to kill the kid, the mother, and her own husband, and then blackmailed him to marry her. Which would also explain why 1FL's mother kept telling him to kill 1ML, because she knew it won't be his first time to kill someone.
Hmm…
But , yes, no blacklisting. Just 2 more episodes, they should wait before jumping to incest. Besides, even if it was, they had no idea. It happens a lot in real life too, some even have kids already before they learned the hard truth.
1. Kid that looks like a girl in the photo and car was 1ML2. 1ML apparently walked to the home of Sister Agnes…
10. 1ML confronting 1FL's step father appears that he figured out something.
I assumed that he figured out he is his father.
But after the photo revelation, he changed his mind far too easily, probably was too happy about it too.
Then boom! 1FL revealed the guy he wants to be his dad is his lover's dad. 🤣🤣🤣 Poor guy.
11. I also considered the possibility that what he figured out was 1FL's step father is actually her bio father. If this is the case, then why was he shocked when 1FL said the guy in the photo was her father?
Holy moly, wthhh I didn't see an Alabama plot twist coming, this shit got wild rn.Bro about to have another trauma
🤣🤣 At least that was his assumption. But the kid 1ML didn't call him "father". Qnd the 1FL's mother was also there.
And based on 1FL's step father, the story goes that 1FL's father stole his crush (1FL's mother). That means, 1FL's father is not the father of 1ML, he's just close to him and his mother.
1. Kid that looks like a girl in the photo and car was 1ML 2. 1ML apparently walked to the home of Sister Agnes and her mother, and her mother decided to adopt 1ML so her daughter wouldn't be alone 3. The kid 1ML called someone mother during that photo session 4. The kid 1ML did not call the guy who carried him as "father", but they appeare to be very close 5. They are so close, the 1FL's mother was jealous and ordered her secret lover to kill the 1ML, his mother, and her own husband 6. In the second photo, the secret lover was caught looking secretly to his friend and rival (the 1FL's father & the guy who is close to 1ML's mother) 7. But 1ML made an incorrect assumption that the guy in the photo who carried him was his father 8. So now 1ML is shocked to death because he was f***ing his half-sister all those years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (He hasn't realize his conclusion was wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

E05 = 0 stars.

FL, always making the wrong moves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a twist. In the end, 1ML is helping "uncle" to takeover the company.
