- In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[2]
- Episodes 1 to 4 aired back-to-back due to the broadcast of the film Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days the previous day.
