Master’s Sun preempts Wednesday episode for holiday

Just a heads up: There’ll be no Master’s Sun this Wednesday. Boo. Hiss. After much, MUCH vacillation, SBS has finally(?) decided to preempt Wednesday’s episode of in favor of Chuseok programming. Which is understandable, since Chuseok (which falls on Thursday) is one of the biggest holidays in Korea, and regularly scheduled television programming during that week is often pushed in favor of specials and movies.

It would sting a little less if SBS hadn’t been so wishy-washy for weeks deciding what to do with Master’s Sun, which was maybe getting an extension, then no definitely NOT getting an extension, then still talking about extensions, and NOT preempting, and then preempting after all. The show set to follow, Heirs, had originally planned for an October 2 premiere but pushed that back to October 9 in the past week or two. SBS stated that it could slot in a short drama special for a week, back when they were saying Master wasn’t getting extended.

Master’s Sun will air Episode 13 on Thursday, and will not air 14 this week. That puts the show off pattern for the rest of its run, prompting the question of whether SBS will extend by one more episode so the final week gets two full hours. Huh, what a handy way to get an extra episode out of a show that wasn’t going to give it, I’m just sayin’. Over on MBC, Two Weeks will air both episodes as scheduled. KBS will be airing Chuseok specials this week, and new melodrama Secret premieres next week.

The Master’s Sun preemption is particularly frustrating given that last week’s Episode 12 cliffhanger was a heckuva nail-biter — what a terrible way to leave us hanging. Feel free to vent, but an earnest plea: NO SPOILERS! That includes Episode 13 preview talk, though spoiler-free speculation is fair game. Don’t make me go over there.

If you must, please be considerate of spoiler-phobes among us and use spoiler tags: <spoiler> </spoiler>

This last minute decision making is such an interesting contrast to the US tv-land announcement that Mad Men is going to end with two, 7-episodes seasons in spring 2014 and 2015. (I can't decide which I find more annoying!)

Okay, after checking all day to see if episode 13 was finallly posted, I am totally disappointed! This drama is so great and so special that it is all I can think about at the end of each weeks's airing. I dread it coming to an end, but to hear that I have to wait even longer...!

Here's a hint: when things cause delays in shows in America, the networks sometimes air programs in the very wee hours of the morning for the viewers that they know are waiting! Perhaps too late for this showing, but maybe something to think about in the future?

Well at least I'll be going to a concert tomorrow evening which prevents me from thinking too much about episode 13 not airing tomorrow^^ (I'm living in Austria so when the episodes air in Korea it's 3 PM here and when the viki team is fast I can watch the episodes subbed around 11 PM to midnight)
And Thursday is my birthday so time will pass quickly too.

But it still is a pain in the ass because of that freaking cliffhanger from last week! (which I have barely recovered from thanks to a lot of variety :P)
Although I guess we can consider ourselves lucky to get ep 13 this week. Because another week of waiting would be impossible^^

oy he should see the dumpster and the coffee ghost and would have to take over buying the coffees all the time.

I would love to see a role reversal like that. He gave little sympathy to GS (until he started to fall for her) and I can see him being such a baby about it.

I wonder what that will mean for his issues with Hee Joo, though, because I figure either he can somehow see ghosts after and can talk to her, or while he's tromping around as a semi-ghost he talks to her. Either way they've got some business to take care of.

Anyway, I will only say that: What cliffhanger?
I don't know what will happen in ep 13 but I know for sure what WON'T happen: Killing a lead so soon in a rom-com. I really don't get why so many viewers are in panic mode. Lol.

Because the show has been bloody unpredictable so far and we're dealing with the famous Hong sisters and they might just keep him in a coma or sth and give us his free-to-raom-around ghost instead!
I wouldn't like that one bit! I'd like a JW who is flesh and blood and can hold TY in front of the whole world to see!

Argh. I can't decide what I would hate the most:

(1) He dies
(2) Or a theory I've heard - He ends up getting into a coma (which I don't mind if the heroine can get him back) only to wake up and not remember her so she has to do something in the last episode to get him to remember her (like the movie "Just Like Heaven").
(3) He dies, but they find a way to get him a new body (like in Ghost Whisperer when the husband died and he ended up highjacking a recently evacuated body.

So I'm hoping no death and no amnesia (cliche) and no Jim Clancy action please.

A one episode extension has apparently been confirmed! So this week will air ep 13, next week 14 and 15, the next 16 and 17. I'm generally wary of extensions because one can kill a show fast so I hope the Hong Sisters won't do anything to ruin the good they already have.

Thanks for the heads up and clarification javabeans. My head has been spinning with the constant back and forth. Just earlier today a friend was telling me that she read there would be a ep on Wednesday and no episode on Thursday. My reaction was: WHAT?!!! I've read everywhere that the episode would be airing on Thursday. I'm glad it's clear and the episode 13 will air until Thursday. (Sad, tear, tear more wait, what to do until then?) This way I know I don't have to wake up tomorrow at 5am like I usually do to watch the livestream.

I am NOT ok with no Wed Show, and not really OK with even a one episode extension as far as the plot, but, I have to admit I didn't have high hopes for the end of the series anyway. Best Love and Big could have ended better and neither had to deal with extra episodes.

I am OK with scenes of GHJ and SJS together doing whatever they feel like. Especially if it is kissing and touching.

yes, yes, yes... As long as they are together. I'm living vicariously thru their romance. It feels good and warm when you see them reach for each other. I hope after his near death experience (it's definitely a near death experience. HE DID NOT DIE) their romance will be more intense. A case of 'I've almost lost you. I will never let you go OR You will never leave me' kind of angst.

I found two vids - interview with SJS and GHJ. They look so.......... good together.
