It's so good so far....hope this doesn't fuck it up.

Then they'll include and extension arc in the drama within the drama... Meta galore *BOOM*

Anyone else notice that very few dramas nowadays are the standard 16 episodes? Extending the average lifetime of a drama would make sense from a 'recouping investment' perspective, but as a drama watcher, it makes me a bit sad because there'll be fewer dramas and the dramas that do get aired will be even more convoluted than usual. Sigh.

Maybe the extension is gonna be a meta on extensions in dramaland, that's the best way to handle this, THAT would be hilarious specially if they're against it extending Kyunseong's morning :D

Oh! No! This is my worst nightmare...an extension. Does anyone know of a drama that was improved by an extension? Maybe it'll make me feel better.

Loving this. Trusting the writer and the director with this. Daebak! So far so really good!

I wonder if they will keep extending his fur--his collars seem to be getting bigger every episode!

DBSK's leader Yunho was just added into the cast of that Kwon Sangwoo/Soo Ae drama. They're obviously buying for more time, so they want King of Dramas to extend.

I'm super conflicted with extension news, as well.

Wooooohoo go KING OF DRAMAS. I'm at all game with your extension! (Without the extension, the last episode, Ep 16, will air exactly on December 25, a Christmas)

But go extension!!!
More!

We already have an endless supply of obstacles for the drama within a drama Kyungsung Morning, but with four more episodes, I cringe to imagine what machination they come up with now. I hope they use those time time to flesh out all the characters better, as a few of them is coming off as one-dimensional. Anyway, the only thing we can do now is hope for the best.

So, good luck Writer-nim and do us proud :-)

Wow! I was wondering if this was going to happen. I will read this later, but how interesting... Thank you for the news JB, I am still enjoying the drama as well.

The show has not failed me so far.
IT'S SO GOOD!!!

I doubt they will fail me the future, even in the extension. Cannot happen. The caliber of the writer and the director is way above average. It's even more than excellent. I'm quite sure now.

Episode 10 was a blast.

I love this drama!!!

I was wondering why the pacing in this week's episodes seemed slower and now I hear talks of extensions. Hmm, coincidence?

Like someone mentioned, there can be a lot more meta fun so I really hope the production team doesn't make the show move at a snail's pace just to cover four extra hours. Since there's talk of extensions now, then the writer should take this early opportunity to plan out extra stuff rather than have things moving along slowly.

guuuuhh.. love the suits on this show. love the show too. ha. hurlarious.

My optimistic side is clinging to the fact that it's fairly early days yet; at least they're not dropping another four hours on us when we're on episode 14. And if I have faith in any crew to weather an extension, it's this one.

...But knee-jerk reaction still says, "Augh, nooooooooo," and goes to cry in a corner. I only JUST got invested in this thing! Burned through the first eight episodes in a day! WHY, NETWORK? WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

Ahhhh I want there to be a kiss scene soon. :(
Sheesh. This is my favorite romance this whole year, please let it happen next week!
I actually like the 16 ep format but 20 isn't so bad, I just hope the writing can keep up and that it doesn't drag everything out forever.

Not happy about the extensions, but if they are going to have an extension, the drama within the drama should also have an extension as well.

Overall, though I get the feeling that the grueling schedules are wearing everyone down...

8.9 ratings for ep 10. And that just prove viewers want more romance on the show.

Initially, I thought 16 eps is too short for this drama. But know with the extension I'm kinda conflicted too. But fingers crossed things will work out well.

I was actually just thinking how this drama seems more like a 20 episoder. Especially because they've barely started filming "Kyungsung Morning" and they have plenty to mine from the whole live-shoot side of things. But unless the writer and director always had something in their back pocket waiting for an extension, it could just mess things up. Please don't ruin this awesome show!

king of dramas may not have stellar ratings but it's definitely a hoot internationally.
My mom was watching the Vietnamese channel during the news and they were discussing the KOD.
Some scenes were played in the background and they just loved how this show gives an inside look of the world of drama-making.
I am against extensions, as always, but hopefully this gives more room for META META META.
I hope this doesn't mean slowing down the pace -- which i absolutely loved in the first half of this show.

loving this show....so I'll take it as glass half full ;)

I remember History of a Salaryman and how the two-episode extension just focused on the villain rather than the protagonists of the drama. But that's a whole different thing coz History was a ratings meat. I wonder what will happen to this show if it does really settle on an extension. Will they include all the dramas behind the dramas? They're currently on plagiarized script and stuff. What's in for us for the next one and half month? If they will include everything for this extension, then there's a big probability that the actors/actresses will be involved in an accident. Oh no! Hyun Min ah!

I was watching episode 10 earlier today, and was trying to remember if it was a 16 or 20 episode drama, since they do have lots of stuff they can still cover. I hope they can pull it off well! I LOVE this drama! You'll be watching and tense at some points, and all emotional at others, only to end up bursting into laughter here and there. I also totally agree with the comments about the wonderful romance in the drama. Any time it's Go Eun and Anthony on the screen I get all excited and flip out over the slightest smiles and smirks!

i do agree that it seems early enough to be discussing extensions, so i'm not too worried. plus, i secretly like this drama well enough that i'm not sorry to see four more episodes—IF done without dragging anything out. this is a series that could have been 20 episodes from the start, it's so fun.

i still think it's pretty obvious and a little reminiscent of on air. we're going to be watching all the conflicts that could occur at every stage of the drama-making process. great, but a bit predictable i think. that said, i'd be pleased if it ends up surprising me storyline wise. i'm having SUCH fun watching the three leads, but i think siwon is stealing the show. he is SO much more than i'd ever anticipated from him, and i love that he's decided to just go and run a triathlon with his character, figuratively speaking. ha!

speaking of extensions, i think oohlala greatly suffered from its. honestly, by the end it was like a completely different show. and ever since the grandpa fairy had made the ominous remark about how hyun-woo's post-cancer life couldn't be extended forever, i just kept waiting for his character to go into remission and die. then KJE got sick instead, but i still kept waiting... -_-

Please, please... Yes!!!!!
It"s the first time a drama would be extended for the good reasons:
-The drama(s) in the drama leaves us with a lot of story to unravel.
-The love lines need extra time to be showcased and we have many interesting secondary characters.
-I just need more of #KOD and it's a valid reason enough. :)

Dear Santa, I've been a good girl. That's the only thing I want for Christmas this year.

NO! I'm getting tired of the back-and-forth between World and Empire Productions. I'd be okay with the extensions if they stopped that and focused more on the actual relationships between the Kyung Seong team....

On one hand, I don't want an extension to mess with the show's pacing...but on the other hand, that would mean four more hours of listening to Kim Myun-min's amazing voice... :D

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm calm now. At least the show is awesome right now. Maybe Jang Hang-joon will be able to pull off the impossible. Oh, who am I kidding! I'll just hope that the extension falls through.

Noooooooooooooo!!! No extension :'(
It will ruin this show. It's a pity.

I'm choosing to be (cautiously) optimistic about this extension even though they usually elicit a loud BOO! from me. Just finished watching ep. 9 and they still haven't even started shooting Kyungsung Morning, so it feels to me like KOD actually needs a little extra time to counterbalance all the time it's spent on the KM pre-production arc. The characters' relationships have lots of room to grow and, as we all know, there's still a ton of great meta just waiting to be harvested. Also, it's hard for me to imagine that the writer of this particular drama went into this without giving any thought to the possibility of an extension.

For me it is good news.

To think that there are only 6 remaining episodes to uncover every detail.

We're still in the pre-prod and prod of Kyungsung Morning. We will still go through the post prod...

We will still go through when Kyungsung Morning is already aired. And the aftermath of the success of their drama.

There are still a lot to reveal. It won't fit in 6 episodes -- even though let's say each episode is tightly strong and filled with exciting details every bit of the way.

16 is okay. But I thought of it... and allowing 4 more episodes is just about the PERFECT time frame to unfold all storytelling and character developments.

Episode 20 is just about the right amount this storyline deserves (as how I see it watching the first 10 episodes). It's not a bad idea AT ALL. :-)

I’m in , even if its hundred episodes , I just want more and more of this amazing show , more Anthony , more Hyun min , more Go eun , please , please , more episodes .....

I disagree--I think it's more drama drama drama...this show within a show is never going to get filmed! It wouldn't surprise me if they needed more time because right now I feel like the pace is very slow.

We shall see--I vote upping Siwon's scenes--HyunMin would certainly agree ;)

That would be awesome. More Anthony - yes, please. A human side to Hyun Min would be not bad, too. And some more Anthony.

Excited for Episode 10 recap. :-)

I enjoy this drama, but I notice one thing that kind of makes me a bit irritated. There are always ups and downs in every episode, so if one problem is solved, another problem will come out in the next episode...

This is welcome news to me, as long as they manage to keep me glued to the screen for the whole episodes like they have in the past.

I don't even really mind the repetition of constant dangers to the drama coming up. I love this drama.
