Notes

  1. In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[3]
  2. Episode 25 is the lowest-rated episode of a KBS2 Monday-Tuesday 10:00 p.m. drama in history. Only Episode 23 of Welcome, which aired as a KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday 10:00 p.m. drama in 2020, registered a lower rating of 0.8%
