My Dearest CONFIRMS extension

‘

My Dearest

' has been wooing fans and the makers seem to have started work on its extension. The popular Friday-Saturday series will not grant viewers a more extended experience of the touching love story between the '

JangChae

' couple.
MBC officially announced, "Thanks to the huge popularity of the drama, discussion on extending the drama is positively considered.

While the original end date is slightly delayed, we are adjusting the schedule."
They also noted, "Considering the result of the third game of the professional baseball

postseason playoff

, there is a possibility that the fourth game will broadcast on Friday (Nov 3rd). Episode 17 of ‘My Dearest’ will air on Saturday (Nov 4th) as scheduled. We will put more effort into improving the completeness of the remaining important scenes in the second half of the drama."
‘My Dearest’ narrates the heart-wrenching destinies of Lee Jang-hyun (portrayed by Namkoong Min) and Yoo Gil-chae (played by Ahn Eun-jin). Currently, it stands as one of the most loved drama of 2023, leading the ratings in its time slot and ranking first in drama popularity for three consecutive weeks since the start of Part 2. Notably, the lead actors

Namkoong Min

and Ahn Eun-jin hold the first and second spots on the drama cast popularity chart, underlining the show's widespread appeal.

In addition to the show's popularity, MBC cited another compelling reason for considering an extension: they want to fully unfold the story they've meticulously crafted. As the drama was planned in parts, the love story of Jang-hyun and Gil-chae has deepened in the second half, while the narratives of the enslaved characters have drawn even greater sympathy from the audience. Moreover, the decision to contemplate an extension also reflects the desires of dedicated fans who yearn to savour ‘My Dearest’ for an extended period.
