Unfortunately, one of the most relatable characters lost was Anupam Tripathi‘s Abdul Ali. As hard as it was for fans to watch his character’s ending, it may have been hardest on the actor himself.

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.
