Notes
[edit]- ^ a b 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]
- ^ Literally translated into Fantasy Couple, the title is a reference to the 2006 television series Couple or Trouble.
- ^ No episodes were aired on February 6 due to the broadcast of the film 1987: When the Day Comes.
- ^ No episodes were aired on February 27 due to news coverage on the 2019 DPRK-US Vietnam Summit.
- ^ The title is a reference to the 2013 television series The Heirs.
