Only one episode of You From Another Star to air this week
by javabeans
Happy Lunar New Year, but also, boo to Lunar New Year. The day falls on Friday, January 31, but it’s a big enough holiday in Korea that it really ends up spanning Thursday through Sunday, which calls for time off work, trips back to hometowns, family gatherings… and television schedule reshuffling.
This year You From Another Star will be one of the shows being pre-empted for holiday TV programming. At least it’ll be the only prime-time drama not to air on Thursday, but I still reserve the right to wail at only getting a one-episode fix this week. Episode 13 airs on Wednesday, with Episode 14 pushed to next week. Nooooo. Depending on the nature of Episode 13’s ending (who wants to bet CLIFFHANGER) I also reserve the right to scream. Fist-shaking at heaven optional but preferred.
For the folks in Korea, you’ll get to watch Kim Soo-hyun on television anyway, since SBS will be screening his blockbuster Covertly, Grandly. I do wonder how much You From Another Star’s absence will affect the ratings for its two competitors, since there’s a whole 25% chunk of the ratings that’ll be up for grabs; maybe Age of Feeling and Miss Korea will be able to get a piece of that action.
On the upside, this increases the chances of You From Another Star getting an extra episode to even out its finale week, now that it’s off its airing schedule by one episode. Fair trade?

oh, MAJOR boo! don't they want to air double episodes on wednesday instead?? :)
not sure how i feel about an extension, even if it's just one episode. with shows i love as much as this, i've just never liked the extension episodes where they show us all the extra cutesy happy scenes; they just feel excessive. for example, coffee prince and i hear your voice. i especially hated the latter's extension.
by all means a tiny extension by one episode has never ruined a solid show... but why risk marring something that's arguably so close to perfect?

Oh good lord, I'm glad I checked DB before watching YFAS tomorrow. Last week's ending was bad enough for me - what'cha wanna bet tomorrow's is worse? I think I'll just watch all 3 episodes at once next Thursday. Gosh, this is going to be worse than dieting...

i don't understand why they want to postpone ywcfts. seriously i don't find any logic. for sure IG and MK rating will rise. bad move from sbs because viewers will tune to another channel when ywcfts finished. their line up will get bad effect from this.

Actually, I'm glad about this. I have to go all the way to Jeollanam-do tomorrow for Lunar New Year (for my father-in-law's side of the family), so I was trying to decide whether I wanted to read the recap on Friday or try streaming it on the train or just download it on Sunday when we got home. Now I can watch tonight's episode and not feel cheated because I can't watch the next one. Yay~

noooo! every week feels like waiting for a monthly manga release! idk if I should wait to wait 3 eps. in a row next week or what! I hope they do a special with the release of chun song yi rap track feat. drunken min joon because yiu cant never get enough of those two! if theyre going to get an extension, hope it is to show us how they live happy ever after like in min joon's dream because if they extend it to give us sorrow and pain, ill cut them!

Going crazy right here. I totally forgot about the holiday. I don't know what to feel about a possible extension though. I rarely like drama extensions (can't even remember if I liked one) and this is scaring me a bit. I've always see extensions as altering the story and ruining it. So... Anyway, it's going to be a long week.

I haven't started this drama yet although I do have all the episodes lined up waiting for me. Going by the response on here to the airing of only one episode this week, I may be in for a treat!!

I was basically cursing to the moon and back. There's like this grand cosmic design that just wants to drive me crazy. I need two episodes dammit! I am starting to hate the power that be after seeing episode 13... WHYYYYY??! I wish Chuseok had fall on a different day... I am dying here, I need episode 14... But yeah, chances of getting the extra episode is appealing hahaha... I'm not going to complain about an extra episode with Kim So Hyun. But, I am going to suffer badly... Very badly...

I HATE that we only get one episode this week, and of course it was a massive cliffhanger, but I am praying to ever God I know that we get that extension! I'm not usually a big fan of them, but more time with this two can only be a plus! Not to mention, I think this is the right team that could handle doing an extension really well :)

I'm sad but I completely understand why they did it. I've read KSH only sleeps an hour a day and hopefully they can use this extra time to have a well-deserved rest.

super love this drama.. hooked and hooked and hooked even more.. i should say captain hook has a lot of fans to swing on to with this drama.. however, it saddens me that there will be no airing of the next ep... i wanted to shout my lungs out when i checked that there will only be 1 ep for this week.... all respects and love to everyone in korea... but the sadness over here unfortunately will not dissipate for quite a time..
