Expanding its narrative beyond the confines of Korea, Season 3 incorporates international crime elements, with filming locations that include Fukuoka, Japan. This unique integration of cultures adds an exciting new dimension to the storyline and has generated buzz among fans. Notably, esteemed Japanese actor Naoto Takenaka and rising star Sho Kasamatsu make special appearances, enhancing the show's allure.
