MBC preempts Wednesday’s episode of A New Leaf

by girlfriday

The MBC prime time drama block has been preempted for a special World Cup send-off game, which means there will be no new episodes of A New Leaf, Shining Romance, and Mother’s Garden on Wednesday, May 28. I get that dramas have to be preempted for big events once in a while (grumble, grumble), but is there really a reason for not letting anyone know until hours before? Some of us will suffer from Kim Myung-min withdrawal and our loved ones need to be given advance warning!

The delay comes at a crucial juncture for A New Leaf, because Kim Myung-min just found out where the heck his dog has been for the last eight episodes. What, is this not the love story you’re watching this drama for? Because ever since he woke up with amnesia, I’ve been wringing my hands waiting for him to figure out that his poor doggie is sick and waiting for him in the hospital. It’s been downright cruel, the way the show’s been teasing their reunion for weeks. I guess we’ve waited this long, so we can wait ONE more day. There had better be some puppy hugs when the show comes back, is all I’m sayin’.

The shows will resume on Thursday, which puts the episode counts off. We’ll keep you posted if A New Leaf decides to try and double up on broadcasts or extend later on, but for now Episode 9 airs on Thursday.

Only problem is that I saw the pic before reading the post's title, and had already begun happy dancing (thinking that I'd get to see Seok Ju reunited with Khan in tonight's episode)... :(

I've been wondering something...

Isn't his dog in "A New Leaf" the exact same dog from "Beethoven Virus"?

If it's not the same dog, then it's certainly the same breed.

I believe it was the same breed. There, the dog was called Thoven, as in BeeTHOVEN.

My only consolation is the hope that he'll have a happy reunion with the dog.

The dog is definitely the cliffhanger that keeps me tuning in every week.

Well, that and I gotta get my Kim Myung Min fix.

Yeah leaving the dog hanging when he has a tumour was kind of stressing me out. Being a dog owner and all. Plus the vet was pretty blase for a fast growing tumour. Bad bad vet.

Bad bad owner.

Pss... I hear next Wednesday's episode is going to be cancelled as well. Is this true?

Because that would kill me one episode each for the next 2 weeks.

Agree. I'm a cat owner and I thought when he saw the dog dish, AND all the pictures, he would do everything to find him; ask a lot of questions. And the vet, sent him a text? I think the writer has treated this pet angle, strangely, to say the least.

He lost his old phone remember, so he never got the text.

Why MBC?!

I just started watching A New Leaf yesterday and I have been marathon-ing the first 8 episodes. The drama is actually so good that I was THAT addicted.

Who knew a drama about an amnesiac lawyer would be so enticing?

Oh who am I kidding. It's Kim Myung-min!

Well, that's just great. When I was already starting to get hooked to this show, it gets preempted!
This can't be happening!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one worried about the dog. I've been waiting and reading recaps to make sure the dog is OK before I actually watch any more episodes.

I heard episode 9 will air this Thursday (tomorrow) and episode 10 will air next Thursday. Episode 10 is preempted because of an electon happening next Wednesday.

And for a "send off for the World Cup" of all things????!!!???!!! Maaaaaybeee if they were coming back as champions, a la "Hail the Conquering Heroes," but before they have played a single game?

My old drama teacher was a big believer in the concept of not applauding for anyone until they've done something worth applauding -- no applause for just showing up -- and I'll stick with her on this one!

I have to side with your old drama teacher.

But here in the US, people are so used to applauding at their high school kids' performance that, when they go to the Metropolitan Opera, they still applaud at anything and everything, even the moving chandeliers or stage curtains.

I noticed that, in Berlin, applause is short and temperate, unless it was an extraordinary performance (as in Maria Callas scale).

Well, it's still better than North Korea, where you even have to applaud at the tanks and stuff :P

Typical this happens to the best k-drama right now for me , the only one addictive enough i cant wait a day let alone a whole week between eps.

This is cruel telling us only hours before the airing when i have been waiting all day thinking late tonight is new ep of A New Leaf!!

Well I'm sad I can't watch ANL and has to wait for Thu ep. But tomorrow I have to go to other city early and have no time to download and watch new ep. So there's silver lining for me. But seriously I want to know what happens to Khan and the reason for World Cup send off is really strange.
