On November 9, 2023, MBC announced that the historical drama My Dearest will have one more episode due to constant delays in script delivery. The drama will now have 21 episodes rather than the originally planned twenty.
The drama has aired in two parts. The first part aired 10 episodes between August 4 and September 2. The second part started on October 13 but will end on a different date than originally scheduled.
Episode 21, the last episode of the historical and rom-com drama, is set to air on November 18, 2023, a day after episode 20.
My Dearest will end with episode 21 on November 18, 2023
South Korean media outlet Spotvnews reported that My Dearest and its actors have yet to receive the script for episode 20. They were occupied filming episode 19.
In light of the hectic schedule and the delay in scripts for episodes 19 and 20, the broadcast channel MBC announced that it will extend the drama to 21 episodes. MBC has stated that they are extending the episode to enhance production quality and provide more insights into the love story between Jang-hyun and Gil-chae.
After the schedule change, episode 20 of My Dearest will air on November 17 at 21.50 KST, and episode 21 will broadcast on November 18 at the same time.
Previously, episode 17 of the show aired on November 4 instead of November 3 due to a baseball playoff game. The constant delays in episodes for various reasons have been disappointing for K-drama fans.
On the contrary, the news of getting one more episode of the show has delighted fans as they will be able to witness more of Jang-hyun and Gil-chae's chemistry.
