Is it just me or did anyone thought ...


that the two of the women looked too much alike?

- both were white and blonde, hair up.
- both had that thin bony look to their faces
- both were wearing white blouses at some point

the initial scenes were especially confusing:

1. when the first blonde woman was at her locker, she looked particular dazed or tired.
2. the second blonde woman was seated in the train cabin and could not find her ticket.

both looked a bit tired, in their respective scenes, that when she said something like,
"..for god's sake, I take this train all the time!", it almost looks like she had knocked off after a long day, and was taking the train home. her anger/frustration showing in that her ticket-collecting colleague was giving her a hard time even though he knew she was good for it.

they should have decided which women was better as the blonde, and casted someone else for the other role.

I actually had no problem telling them apart. The business woman was dressed differently, sounded different, and the man girl was introduced way before her so it wasn't difficult to tell them apart. The only thing they had in common was being blonde and a girl.

Actually, the server had tied her hair in long ponytail while the businesswoman had a bun. Plus, they had very different personalities. And different facial features.

Telling them apart was an issue for me a couple of times, but it seems we're in the minority on this.
