Having patiently awaited an opportunity to face Baek again, he is poised to launch a counterattack aimed at undoing his past loss. The released stills showcase a transformed Jang, with a more intense gaze and a hint of a beard, suggesting the weight of the intervening years.

The series promises a more intense rivalry between the two men, as Baek has also grown more ambitious over the past nine years. Viewers will be keen to see Jang's strategy for a comeback after his previous defeat.
The series, comprising six episodes, will begin its release on Disney+ on September 9, with two episodes, followed by two more on September 16 and 23.
Jang Geon-young, who has been waiting for a long time for the moment to face Baek Ki-tae again, will launch a counterattack to return everything to the beginning.
