My last scene was the hardest because it was when we built this close friendship but only one person could survive, so it felt like I was making the decisions for real. I thought, ‘Could I really make that decision?’ I thought, ‘Could I really do it?’

Not only did Anupam Tripathi live out the episode as Abdul Ali, but he also experienced its heartbreak as a fan, specifically for Lee Yoo Mi‘s Ji Yeong.
