After seeing the previews for episode 9 the writer has stepped up the conflict. This drama is definitely what I would call a fusion sageuk. But, let's see what the next few episodes bring.

You're welcome. : )

Viki's site now has a fan channel so I'm hoping that OCN will approve licensing.

The wave of relief you experience when one of your favorite actors has already served in the Navy. Military service complete! Looking forward to good things in the future.

It's also mentioned in this "News Bites" post on Dramabeans. Scroll down a bit after opening the link. http://www.dramabeans.com/2016/12/news-bites-december-31-2016/

tvN's Youtube page uploaded clips from episode 9, so I'm assuming 9 & 10 will air on schedule. Here's a link for episode 9's clip:

You're welcome! I'll post new information when it's available.

It's scheduled (now) to air after "The Package" (guessing this will air the last weekend in March or first weekend in April with 12 episodes) which airs after "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" (January 21, 2017 premiere with 16 episodes). So, maybe it will be closer to early May. I checked on JTBC's Wikipedia page. So, we really just have to wait and see when there are updates to know for certain.

Lee Sang-yub (My Wife is Having An Affair This Weekend) has been offered a leading role in KBS's upcoming mini-series "Perfect Wife".

Update: December 29, 2016. Lee Sang-yeob must have turned down the part because now Sung Joon (Madame Antoine, I Need Romance 3) is now considering the part.

You're welcome : )

An additional episode has been confirmed.
