Even though I love this show because it shows not only the successes but the flaws in the medical field, I cannot believe they are extending this! 3! 3! I will be really pissed if they screw this up! I HATE extensions!

I hasn't seen the last ep. before this extension but I believe there is still plenty of room for 3 more eps. as well as other season (with the same actors). The main leads are just residents, so they can work their way up and up, their romance was very slow (if there was any), I guess that will be improved. Overall, acting was good, series - not so good (that is, only some light interest just for the time it is shown).
BUT to think of something watchable in such a short amount of time is ... just a bad decision.

Milking it because of the ratings. I guess thats why its hard to get rid of MBC's CEO. Dude knows how to make money.

Let's clear one thing: Although Medical have the lowest interest across the network, it's one of the most favorite genre among TV viewers around the world. With successes such as ER, Grey's Anatomy and House M.D is hard to argue. So, if you're not into this genre, don't waste your time.

Golden Time broke viki's record for its genre. With 1687 followers (and even more viewers, since not everyone chooses to follow), without idols/young/studs, basing only on acting skills (and damn, all of them are GREAT), writing and directing, no visible love line and not even the cliche plot of the poor young man become super successful in one second. 1000+ followers more than Brain, the last memorable medical drama.

Even if ultimately MBC decide to make second season, still need to properly finish the current one. Only those who truly are watching GT know that 3 episodes are necessary to end it right, because there are so many thing to cover and so many thing to resolve. And even though it's hard to the team keep doing it (and believe me - Just in Time team is the MOST professional, devoted and nice team I ever worked with) - we will finish our "duty" GLADLY on september 25.

I think its easier for a medical drama to have more than one season due to variety of medical mysteries out there. OCN did it with 3 seasons of God's quiz and they seem to have the formula right.

Um....I like it yes, but this seems like a crazy move.

I will hope they do this with ready material in their drawers (script I mean) and they just had to sign the extension contracts with the actors/staff. Or else it's a really strange move from the channel.

Yay, so there's still time and space to insert Taewoong's cameo, right? ;)

I wonder why they never have them, sequels are cash cows!

A Big THANK YOU to all the subbers out there, especially for sticking with Golden Time with their new episodes. You are all awesome for sharing your talents with us non Korean speakers.

I can’t but help feel that the extensions were already planned (given the way the plot is moving) and the announcement is dare I suggest, a marketing ploy? Whatever the case, here’s hoping for a satisfactory conclusion to this series.

I just finished episode 19 yesterday and I was wondering how can they make a satisfactory ending with what happened yesterday. This is good news there are at least things that will be addressed. I like the thinking feel of the show it makes it seem real. I wish it was 10 more episodes.

All i could do was sigh with relief that there's more than one ep extension. As much it is a strain on the writer,staff, actors, PD, etc of the show, if you watch it you will realize that they never had any intention of ending it at 20, they must have been prepared for an extension from at least episode 18 because they are too many unresolved and incomplete arcs to complete in an episode or two. Maybe I'm just a die hard fan but i still think the 3 eps are necessary

i hope with the three episode of extension they will give us some romance. I'm watching the show and enjoying because it real so different from other medical drama that i've seen. I've never gotten into Brain and that was b/c i could predict where thinks would go but with Golden time it's so slow that I'm not sure what would happen in the next episode plus I love the OST songs for this show.

I so want a second season with the same characters and the same writer and PD.

i don't think they would give extension if they knew there would be a 2nd season.

my take on this is that the extension does 2 things: gives horse healer time--which is rumored to need and allows GT to recoup $$$ spent on high end surgeries, helicopters and hospital rental.

and as always, a huge deep bow to the subbers at viki.com. i mistakenly called the GT subbers the nurses team--but was reminded they are the Just In Time team. kudos, hats off and nose touching floor bow to y'all. thanks for making it watchable.

I guess the story has to end it properly because after episode 19..still some guessing what will happen..Jae In's decision..and the nurse coordinator living for Canada? The grandfather med -state..I hope they don't go for the romance thing because the chemistry was never there for Jae In and Min Woo but a good platonic relation for me...thanks..Thank you

I don't like lee min woo acting. I know that's not his real name but I am lazy to check it up. I loved him on running man, rooted for him like crazy because he seemed super awesome. But his acting in golden time seriously pissed me off. It was just weird for me. But alot others praised his acting, so...

Well, but golden time is not a bad medical drama, I love medical drama and have watched countless till date, my favorite is still team medical dragon 1 and 2. Asada rocks :)
I can see how they are able t make a sequel. with the leads moving to seoul. Too bad, I'll miss the 4 chiefs, the ortho's doctor (so kind), sir me and the lady from general surgery.

Gosh, that 3 episode extension wasnt enough!!! I just finished watching golden time and ive been trying to find news about a second season since that show is so wicked awesome and episode 23 felt so unfinished!

I so love sung min and sung kyun from this medical drama! The acting was superb too, and i dont think the plot was slow. I enjoyed it very much since im a nurse and medical trauma's just in my alleyway. Aside from a few off scenes when the cast perform medical procedures, i think everybody did well considering theyre just actors and not really working as real doctors.

Can i spazz about sung min some more?? Hahaha. His role in Brain and Golden is soo different that im amaze how he could do a complete 360 turn with his acting. I especially nod his line delivery, he's just so convincing as a doctor! And also, during surgery scenes when he's throwing away sponges soaked with blood? Ah... That was super convincing too!

I also love how the writer wrote an important question. what would be a doctor's worst fear?

I just love everything about it!

Does anybody have news about a season 2? Its been a year and nothing's crop up yet.

Thanks!;-)
