Netizens' Reactions
How can they cancel the telecast at the last minute?
I have waited for a whole week to watch Hae Joo's revealing her big secret to save Sa Eon while trying to save him from a car accident. And MBC canceled the show at the last minute.
I have to wait for another week to see Sa Eon watching his wife screaming his name for the first time.
I've waited an entire week to hear Heejo's first voice in front of Saeon, hoping it would save him from the car accident by hugging him tight, only for MBC to cancel it just hours before.
They cancelled the broadcast but release the next teaser? FOR WHAT? we are depressed.
I can't even re-watch the episodes, i already did that more than 5 times.
Why are they giving us a preview of episode 6 if they're not airing it this week? Why? Did they intentionally want to make us suffer more? But thanks for the previews, they're so cute
MBC and Netflix for making such absurd sudden changes in the schedule! We were waiting for those episodes the whole week.
we have to wait for two weeks in total for saeon to find out heejo's first voice, saeon find her "secret" lingerie, heejo teach sign language to saeon, and all those confrontations and tension between them.
I've never been so pissed about a drama episode being canceled, wdym we have to wait for another week. They better release lots of saju couple content to fill this void.
watching a year end kdrama is truly for the bravest person on earth bcs we somehow always get "postponed/canceled due to emergency news" like can the president and those government SIT TF DOWN
We should demand for 4 episode next week, can we #MBC????? Please guys keep tweets until #MBC respond to our request. When they last minute change the date then we also demand for something in return. Am I right? We will wait for the news
