Easter Eggs

In Episode 8, during a hilarious pillow fight, the camera arcs around Moon Gang-tae in a way that is stylistically similar to a famous shot transition in Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning film 'Parasite'.

This appears to be a subtle cinematic homage by director Park Shin-woo to one of South Korea's most acclaimed films, showcasing a high level of visual craft and awareness within the Korean film and drama industry.

Actor Kwak Dong-yeon makes a memorable guest appearance in Episodes 3 and 4 as Kwon Ki-do, a patient diagnosed with manic disorder.

His short but impactful performance was praised for bringing both humor and pathos to the character, offering a powerful look at the human stories within the psychiatric hospital and highlighting the theme of parental neglect.
