Additional Info.

​"There have been criticisms regarding the portrayal of police investigations as being lax in situations where the culprit remains uncaptured. Specifically, the absence of essential modern crime investigation technologies, such as CCTV and vehicle black boxes, has been highlighted. These omissions are seen as inconsistent with contemporary investigative procedures, potentially detracting from the realism expected in a detective mystery. However, the original webtoon My Neighbor was serialized in 2008, a time when CCTV and black boxes were not as widely installed as they are today. Furthermore, the primary setting of the story, an older apartment complex, naturally reflects limited or rare CCTV installations, even by modern standards. This context helps to explain the perceived gap in investigative tools."​
