    About Gi Hun being safer without Ali grabbing him, he probably would have been safer in that moment but it would have taken him a bit longer to get up the next round, and he barely made it in time as is so I think Ali actually did save him.

    Hwang Donghyuk is an absolute mastermind. He designed the role of Seong Gihun specifically for legendary Lee Jungjae, and he hired the charming Jung Hoyeon to fulfill the all-around Kang Saebyeok. Plus, even hiring all of the visual effects specialists and audio engineers to add in small but significantly fulfilling details, he's quite an impressive individual. So glad he finally had a project reach this level of cultural significance, he definitely deserves it!
