It wasn't entirely a coincidence for the debut airing to schedule on Nov 13.
TW's buddy, Jeong Kyu aspired to be another Kim Duk Koo, the late South Korean modern legendary boxer (to win at the International Mathematical Olympiad was NOT his dream, but his father's) who died in 1982 (the year both TW & SK were born) after a bout with Ray Mancini.
The below was taken from Wikipedia:
Kim was a hot fighter in his region who had won 12 straight bouts when he was assigned by the WBA as the world's number 1 challenger to world Lightweight champion Ray Mancini. Prophetically, he wrote the message "kill or be killed" on his Las Vegas hotel room's mirror only days before the bout.
Mancini and Kim met in an arena outside Caesar's Palace on November 13, 1982. In what many ringside observers have described as an "action-packed" fight, Mancini and Kim went toe to toe for a good portion of the bout, but by the latter rounds, Mancini began to dominate the young challenger. Spent and battered, Kim went into round 14 with little left and Mancini dropped him. He got up, but the fight was stopped and Mancini retained the title.
Minutes after the fight was over, Kim collapsed into a coma, and was taken to a hospital. Emergency brain surgery was performed there to try to save him, but that effort proved to be futile, as Kim died 5 days after the bout on November 18.
The Aftermath
Mancini went through a period of reflection, as he blamed himself for Kim's death. After friends helped him by telling him that it was just an accident, Mancini was able to go on with his career, but Kim's death would always haunt him. The bout's referee, Richard Greene, committed suicide in February of 1983, and so did Kim's mother, four months later.

I see this same question popping up in this thread: "Why are the ratings so low??" For your information, there are other competitive dramas that are airing during the same time slot, Jumong for example. If people judge dramas SOLELY based on the ratings, all I can you is you're missing out on many good dramas. I posted up the ratings for informational purposes only. If I see more comments regarding why the ratings are low, I might as well remove all of the ratings from this post so viewers can just enjoy the drama for its quality rather than worrying so much about the ratings. Thank you.
