For those of you who are following W/Th dramas

Apparently, while both Rooftop Prince and King 2 Hearts preempted their episodes yesterday due to election (The Equator Man kept its normal schedule), only K2H is showing double the eps today. RP is only showing ep 7 because ep 8 is not yet ready (they are filming this close to the air date? Already?! Not good). So just FYI.

I confess that I am fine with it. If the situation was reversed and K2H was the one which only had one ep, I'd be tearing out my hair, but while I like RP, it doesn't ignite any passionate attachment in me so...eh.

Have a K2H MV from AyaChan. She used to make amazing City Hunter MVs and I am glad to see she's just as good now:

Didn't RP get an extra week with the predecessor TMTETS being held back due to the strike? My gosh...

Sorry for popping in ^^" Yoochun's father died during te first eps, so the filming was pushed back for almost a week I think.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

They did! aigayafu pointed out what I forgot (i.e., Yoochun's father's death effect on the filming) but even with that, that should have just cancelled out the advantages of extra week filming due to strike. For them to be so close to the wire less than halfway through is problematic. It's going to be filming hell for the next month, eeeeek.

OMG, thank you for linking this MV.
*can't breathe* How are they so perfect? HOW?

I know, so wonderful

Yoochun's father's death might have had something to do with it being behind schedule. At that point they had enough material to get episodes 1 & 2 on air that week, but it means they didn't really have a head start.

True, but I thought they had an extra week due to the strike before the death? I just feel bad for the cast because you know it must be hell on that set and for it to start this early is not good.

[hanjae.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't the strike also mean a part of the crew wasn't available? O_o I don't know, really. I heard it was because they couldn't finish editing, and if that's the case, it's just plain laziness on the staff's part. If it wasn't for the election, they'd usually have to get the episode completed for the Thursday broadcast anyway, so I really have no idea why they couldn't do it this week. I don't think it's a problem of the filming being that much behind schedule, because they had enough material to give a pretty good preview, and a lot of those scenes (the horse-riding scene, or Park Ha teaching Gak to drive) were filmed several days ago, based on the BTS pictures coming out.

I do feel sorry for the cast because the fans were so disappointed that it might affect their feelings about next week's broadcast, though. :/

I think it probably won't wreck the ratings. I didn't realize it was just an editing issue. In which case there is no excuse.

Hmm.....apparently the tv station announced that ep 8 will air tonight, and eps 9&10 tmr. Did they stumble onto a real time machine over the weekend?

wow, insane!
