When will Marry You episodes 9&10 air? Channel A announces cancellation for the second consecutive week over impeachment proceedings schedule

Fans of Channel A's popular K-drama Marry You will need to wait longer for episodes 9 and 10 as the network has announced a second consecutive week of cancellations. On December 12, 2024, the official media account @kdramahandle announced on X that episodes 9 and 10 would be aired back-to-back on December 15, 2024.

The delays stemmed from heightened political tension in South Korea, with President Yoon Suk-yeol facing impeachment re-vote on December 14, 2024. Previously, the drama's episode 7 was scheduled to air on December 7, when President Yoon Suk-yeol's first impeachment vote was held. Hence, the episode was postponed to December 8 and aired before episode 8 of Marry You.

Premiered on November 16, 2024, Marry You is a romantic comedy with a refreshing take on modern relationships. The drama stars Lee Yi-kyung as Bong Cheol-hee, a pure-hearted bachelor from a remote island, and Jo Soo-min as Jung Ha-na, a marriage skeptic trying to evade societal expectations.

The series explores themes of love, marriage, and societal pressures while injecting humor and heartfelt moments. Supporting cast members include Koo Jun-hoe as Choi Gi-joon and Ji E-suu as Oh In-ah, who add layers of complexity to the story with their dynamic portrayals. The drama, directed by Hwang Kyung-sung, has resonated with viewers for its lighthearted yet socially relevant narrative.

Marry You has a total of 10 episodes; hence, December 15 will be the finale of the show. Fans can stream the K-drama on Kocowa and OnDemandKorea.

President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment re-vote causes a delay in the airing of Marry You and When The Phone Rings episodes

Marry You has followed Ha-na’s attempts to escape her family’s persistent efforts to marry her off by setting up the unassuming Cheol-hee with potential suitors. Their chemistry and growing connection have kept audiences hooked, with the last aired episodes teasing deeper emotional developments between the leads.

Meanwhile, Netflix K-drama When The Phone Rings, starring Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin, cancelled its December 6 and 7 episode release of President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment vote on December 7. When The Phone Rings episodes 5 and 6 will be aired on December 13 and 14, respectively.

The suspension of Marry You aligns with a turbulent political situation in South Korea. On December 3, 2024, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law, citing threats to national stability amid his impeachment process. This led to nationwide protests and disruptions across various industries. Major events, including year-end award shows and concerts, have been canceled or postponed.

Martial law was unanimously overturned by the National Assembly on December 4, but the chaos lingered. Police forces initially defied the ruling, fueling public unrest and calls for President Yoon’s resignation. On December 7, Yoon Suk-yeol issued a public apology, acknowledging his missteps, yet his impeachment vote failed to secure the necessary two-thirds majority in the legislature.

On December 7, BBC reported that President Yoon's party, the People Power Party (PPP), staged a boycott movement amidst an ongoing voting session as all 108 members of the party walked out. Consequently, 192 out of 300 votes were cast in favor of Yoon's impeachment, eight votes short of the requirement.

The impeachment re-vote, now set for December 14, coincides with the postponed release dates for Marry You’s episodes, further complicating the broadcasting schedule. Furthermore, When The Phone Rings episode 6 was rescheduled for December 14. Hence, another cancellation and postponement of the episode of the ongoing K-drama is expected.

Fans are hopeful that once the political turmoil subsides, the drama will return to its regular programming.
