** To add to that, there is a scene in Act 2 where [[spoiler: Daniel puts the knife to his throat, emphasising the psychopath he has ended up becoming, because of all the horrific things he did while trying to save Gloria. It makes Daniel's character appear a tad bit creepier in that scene where he completely loses himself, and had the fans praising the brilliance of adding that extra detail to said scene.]] According to a Korean Aroha (who went to watch the shows of other Daniels), [[spoiler: putting the knife around his neck]] was actually an ad-lib by ''MJ himself'', as none of the other shows had it.
