A character coted as "a man known only as Nam" in an earlier version of this review is named Nam JyungSoo. He was not stalking a tiger, as in the original version, but a leopard that turns out to be a tigerling. Later, he chases away the tigerling's grown mother, not the tigerling. The review also described "a book teeming with brothels and game parlors." There are no game parlors in the novel and much of the activity takes place in courtesans' homes, not traditional brothels. In addition, garakji-style rings were not always made in pairs; the ring in the novel was not.
