In the final episode, Kang Ha Ri (played by Song Seung Heon) successfully performed the ultimate plan to avenge “him” (played by Kim Jong Tae). It was all thanks to the genius hacker Lim Byung Min (played by Lee Si Eon) and the top-notch fighter Do Jin Woong (played by Tae Won Suk), who helped Kang Ha Ri although they become wanted criminals. The evil deeds and the identity of “him” were revealed to the world through a live broadcast. Although “he” became violently desperate, Kang Ha Ri said, “If people like you return, people like me return too. You lost this game,” sending a refreshing blast to viewers at the end.
