Revealing mistake: When Jin and Bu are confronted by the dog owner, Bu is standing on the right side of the frame. Then suddenly, Bu ducks down in front of the camera and repositions himself on the left side of the frame. Presumably, the actor was standing on the wrong side of the frame and had to reposition himself and ducked down because he didn't want to get in the way of the camera but unintentionally got caught doing so.
