Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ham Tran explicitly modeled the diner after post-war Saigon night markets—spaces of transaction where survival meant moral compromise. The supernatural element literalizes what Vietnamese diaspora already carries.
The 'blood soup' in episode 2 uses actual tiết canh preparation—Tran hired a street food consultant, then made it glow. Crew reportedly couldn't eat lunch that day.
