Anyone watching the Mouse: Predator episodes, which are supposed to return to key events of the story from Ba-reum’s perspective? I skipped a lot of the first special, but something was revealed regarding Yo-han’s late friend, Joon-sung. If the production team needs more time, I wonder how they managed to fit those extra scenes for the special episodes into their schedule. Maybe they didn’t take that much time to film? Were they filmed in advance? I did wonder at one point if Lee Seung-gi already knew about his character’s true nature before the twist was revealed. I hope that was the case, because it would be nice if that knowledge informed his earlier performances. That way, we could go back and see things in a different light after that revelation.
I haven’t watched yet but when they showed the reveal scenes in the last episode, it seemed like they might have been filmed back when they filmed the original episodes given LSG’s hair. Maybe the extra scenes didn’t make the cut or were going to be aired in another episode but were instead saved for the special?
Good point about the hair. That means that these scenes were filmed in advance. That foresight makes me appreciate the show more. I am always interested in knowing how much is planned in advance when it comes to any show or story. There have been many shows (and I’m not speaking solely about k-dramas), however, where the writers just seemed to write as they went. And plots were changed at the last minute.
Going with the belief that these scenes were truly filmed in advance, I also think that they were intended to be aired during later episodes. Maybe, it was decided that putting all these extra scenes towards the final stretch might clutter the later episodes with too much exposition. They probably took advantage of the extra time they needed for filming to air the two special episodes with those scenes. There are certain reveals–such as the death of Yo-han’s friend–that I do wish they would explain. I don’t know if I should spoil anything for you by mentioning it.

I haven’t seen the specials yet, but I think he took the role because of the nature of the character so he would’ve known.
