Director Kim Sang-sik said, “There are times when (Omari) Spellman explodes terribly. (Daryl) I think I need to harmonize the running time with Monroe. Rather than keep watching, take the replacement timing. Spellman’s performance deteriorates when he is on the bench for too long. I can’t help but feel sorry for the director. If you try outside a lot after being on the bench, you lose your senses.” Spellman needs to improve his condition. If the players talk a lot and the spellman comes up, the performance will improve,” he said, emphasizing the improvement of the spellman’s performance.
