The main characters of the series are Seong Gi-hun, Cho sung woo, Kang Sae Byeok, and the most loved by Pakistanis, Abdul Ali. Abdul Ali is one of the biggest reasons behind the popularity of the show in Pakistan.

As we have seen a lot of memes, social media posts regarding this character who is basically a Pakistani migrant living in South Korea with his wife and a child, working in a production factory. He is seen speaking the Urdu language with his wife and family a couple of times.

The Indian Actor Aumpun Tripathi is playing the character Of Abdul Ali. And this is the reason the show also has received criticism from Pakistan. It is believed that an actor of Pakistan origin could portray a better Pakistani character than anyone else. As we can see that his Urdu dialogues are not well written, or even well translated. Looks like they wrote the dialogues in Korean and then translated them from Google Translator. It is regardless derogatory casting a person having origin from any other country for a Pakistani character.

It is not decided anything about the second season of the show, still no confirmation from the makers of the show yet but hopefully, we will see another masterpiece from the makers with an entirely new cast
