Right?! Im not mad at the change tho it hardly made a diff (but the fact that its a bodyguard spy tho means jay is more personally involved) but i honestly liked the novel version. The implications of having a relative as a victim made him more heinous and dangerous that even if he was alive he would have to serve it behind bars with no chance of parole. It would also unearth more issues in the ent industry (esp with their pimp system) and everyone involved (myungshin will never be able to recover mwahahah) and that the novel scene, jay way just manipulating behind the scenes rather than being handson. He just guided the mother and let her do all the work really
What happened is that he was messing with a person in the that "party" and some way or another (jay) the person's mother found out and came there and tased him with a taser
