Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kim Nam-gil prepared by studying real profiler Kwon Il-yong's memoirs; the character Song Ha-young is loosely based on him. The Red Hat murders reference Korea's first confirmed serial killer case from 1986.
The series dramatizes the actual institutional battle between traditional detectives and Korea's nascent behavioral analysis unit in the late 1980s, when 'profiling' was dismissed as American pseudoscience.
