Because of the strike, MBCs 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' delayed the showing of their last episodes by a week. In response, KBS and SBS delayed their first airing as well.
KBS delayed the first showing of 'The Equator Man' from the 14th to 21st and are planning on airing a two episode play or another program for the 14th and the 15th.
SBS will also delay the showing of 'Rooftop Prince' by a week. Instead, SBS will show 'Family Portrait', a 2 episode play starring Ahn Nae Sang and Shin Hyun Bin on the 14th and the 15th.
The reason behind KBS and SBS delaying their new Wed/Thur Dramas was because of the delay of the final episodes of 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun'
KBS said 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' has a viewing rate exceeding 40% so they strategically decided to compete against the airing of the first episode of the drama after 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun'.
