Harbin
A substantial portion of the travel routes, engagements, and conversations is fictionalized based on records. Some key figures, including Kim Sang-hyun, are not one-to-one recreations of specific real people. The tension surrounding the rooting out of secret agents and internal suspicions was heightened for cinematic effect.
