Notes

edit

^ ^a ^b 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.^[1]

^ No episodes were aired on September 26 due to the broadcast of a Chuseok special.

^ Due to some unpublished ratings, the exact average rating is unknown.
