That's what I'm getting from all this. Dissenting opinions are fine as well. The only difference is I think maybe it was Carlos who went to the mansion and then got hired but that's another vague point. Whether Joseph was hired before or after the switch, it was Carlos who actually stepped foot in that mansion.

The statement I'm saying is he can pretend to be the famous chef, but that doesn't mean he has to look like the famous chef. This isn't an age where everyone had a picture you can easily acquire. If Banica never met Joseph, she could never know the blue-haired cook wasn't him. It's only later on she discovers he's Carlos.

Fans are also indicating his face changed but not his hair. If the world's famous chef suddenly appeared with blue hair, it is a bit of a stretch for the suspension of disbelief, which once again ties to the fact if its just known that "Joseph" is a "famous cook", then Carlos just needs to pretend he's "Joseph the famous cook" and change up his features so Banica won't immediately recognize him. This just happens, whether because of the hair or not, make him look more like Adam Moonlit (ie, more like a Kaito).

tl;dr he's not pretending to not be the chef, he doesn't need to fake looking like him, imo
