Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the Korean series 'Mistress' (2018), this adaptation shifts the tone toward more explicit female intimacy and less noir cynicism.
The GL subplot with Juri was expanded from the original; Japanese television rarely centers queer women this prominently in mainstream mystery.
