I’m not really into extension because I already think this story could have been wrapped up in 10 episodes not 16. and now they’re making it 19!!!!

extensions don’t belong anywhere other than in my hair. they usually ARENT drama friendly. but even so, fingers crossed that it doesnt make BV suck.

I’ve not actually watched this series myself, but you know what those companies like to do to successes >>;;

They drag them on and on and on. Dear, LORD!
It always pays a toll on the quality.

When his previous project Fashion 70s got extended, it caused problems with actor contracts and with how the story ended. I’m not sure if Lee Jae Gyu wants to go through that again, especially since his style require longer editing cycles and production setups. I think BV is going to struggle to the finish line anyway, in terms of getting the finale actually done and all.

MBC will probably do the same with East of Eden (80 episodes of “Hyun! Dong Wong! Hyun! Dong Wong! Arrrgghh!!!” Can’t wait) They’re probably waiting on the show’s response after World and Stop premiere.

Frankly, I’m still shocked that Beethoven Virus is #1 against Kingdom and Painter. That was supposed to be the darkhorse in that lineup.

I haven’t seen this one yet but I’m definitely hoping to. I think a good writer will/can keep an episode from dragging

what now! i agree MBC is making it unduly difficult on Sevenses (lol), although it has a big enough cast and subplots to stretch over additional episodes. it’s still not a good idea to drag out for ratings’ sake (remember park shin-yang just lost all interest and energy in the extension of Money’s Warfare!)

Woohoo for now.
But I hate to agree with you on the typical extended drama. They better make the extension work.
