Bad news for addicts: our Monday-Tuesday drama dosage will be greatly reduced next week, due to the end-of-year awards ceremonies scheduled to air in their time slots. Monday December 31 is the day for both KBS and SBS Drama Awards, and well, you can’t really air dramas while you’re trying to award dramas, can you? So sadly that means both King of Dramas and School 2013 will be skipping their Monday broadcasts, and will resume on Tuesday, January 1.
King of Dramas, because of its extension, will still have one episode left to air the following week, and has decided to add a special to end on an even count. So Episode 18 airs January 7, the special on January 8, and then its follow-up drama, Yawang, will premiere Monday January 14.
School 2013 hasn’t announced any plans to either extend or reduce their episode count, but they have time to figure that out since it’s still early on in the series. Preemptions are never a good thing for ratings momentum, but when you’re live-shooting dramas during the holiday season, sometimes a break is a godsend. Hopefully both shows get some much-needed sleep for cast and crew, and will return to their respective awesomeness by the new year.
Here, have some mind-blowing, character-breaking cuteness from the set of School to tide you over:

NO! NOOOOO! I can’t wait another week for KOD!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
*falls over*
*gets up*
The BTS pics are really cute though. Hehe~
lol that’s how i feel about School! how will i survive on one episode next week only?!
p.s. i am kinda freaked out that jung-ho can smile…
…and have dimples, too.
he’s actually relatively cute…*shakes herself and looks at the monitor again*…the boy ain’t all that bad;)
give me back my only source of entertainment! *yes, i don’t have a life outside*
He needs to stop playing the bad guy/rebel role like, NOW!
Sooo cute, hard to believe the rivalry…
http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa324/girlfridaydb/news/2012/School1-1.jpg
lol right..Jung-ho being so not like him. If he plays the adorkable nice guy in his next role, I think I’ll lose my mind.
AWWMA GAWDDDD SO KAYUUTTTE
DDD <3
IKR, I can’t either
ME NEITHER OMG.
After that ending and NO PREVIEW?!?!?!
And now the last episode will be pushed to the week after?!?!?! ARGH
KOD…Rats! An extension and a special…it’s already becoming a melo.
So KOD’ style! hahaha
The only reason why I tolerate the delay for KOD: Time to write the final episode (if it’s not good, then I fly to Seoul!) and some deserved rest for the cast.
Btw, I really need to know what the special will be about: BTS?, interviews?, Special New Year? Weddings galore? Parody by Big Bang? I’m going nuts with this show!
The director said it’s an unexpected ending, let’s hope it honors its title…
and you know what? it would be awesome to have a parody of Min Hyuk meeting Brad Pitt??? hahaha, I can’t get enough of him
I’ll be flying with you. Armed up to my teeth. Grrr!
I’ll have my machete ready! I don’t own one, that’s what I call my nails coupled with my rage.
Yup, I’m curious too on what the special ep will be about! Maybe they’ll show Kyeongseong Morning? Heehee
If it’s about interviews, then I’d like to know what KMM do to prepare for this role.
The wait is killing me too! Each time waiting for a new episode is like waiting for exam results, or medical report…! My heart wants to explode! And this is an understatement!
While waiting for the next ep, I really really wish someone could Eng-sub the BTS vids! I so do want to know what they’re talking about… sob sob sob
yup , this show is driving me crazy toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I already have to wait for Alice.
I think we will need to have a virtual bonfire or something so we can hang out and sing OST songs together and drink virtual beer and wine. Yes?
Thinking the exact same thing. Darn it! No Alice and no King of Dramas?! Next week is going to be hell. We need constant drama updates during that week/end. UGH.
What? what? No alice??? Really? How? Why? aaaaaah
That channel has an awards ceremony too!
Yes Jomo! I can do all those things!
So between New Year’s and the drama awards, no School 2013?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh no
Darnit! The only dramas I’m currently watching are both being stunted?!?
This is a poop situation.
Lee Jong Seok and Kwak Jung Wook have been playing their roles ofGo Nam Soon and Oh Jung Ho so well that it is kind of weird to see them smiling and looking like, dare I says it…friends?!! It’s really surprising to see Jung Wook smiling since his character never smiles like that. But that just says how good an actor he is; he is so immersed in his character and makes him so real that when he breaks character it seems odd. And of course all the pictures are just beyond cute. Teacher In Jae with bully Yi Kyung and Kim Woo Bin with the spoon?! I’d give anything to be that spoon! I’d give anything to be ANYTHING he TOUCHES!! God I wanna marry that boy!
Me too, sigh.
Ha ha! That was the first thought I had about that pic of Lee Jong Seok and Kwak Jung Wook too!
I don’t mind the preemption, because I still have to watch eps 5-8 of School 2013. I looooove the show, but then I’m like Can I really take the heartbreak today? and postpone catching up for another day…
Love those pics.
I will be in the minority as well and admit that I actually welcome the preemption. Less distractions for me and maybe more resting time for HeadsNo2, who has been doing a wonderful job recapping KoDs. I still have to rewatch ep.11-14 (and maybe rewatch 15 and 16 too) fully subbed in English, and this turn of events would give me the time (I hope) to do that, and the time to write my thoughts for the comments on the recaps
.
And as GF said, the cast and crew gets to rest a little as well. That’s important too (actually, that’s very important, come to think of it).
Yes! Very VERY important! Happy for them
I was like, “Jung Ho’s got dimples? Who knew since he never smiles?” lol
For Kim Woo-bin’s fans, have you read this kinda old interview ? When he was Kim Hyun-joong and from White Christmas period.
http://www.tenasia.co.kr/?construct=newContent&fz=news&gisaNo=21508
He’s close friend already with Lee Jong-suk. I didn’t know that.
Aww, thanks for that interview. I wasn’t really attracted to Kim Woo Bin initially, but his character certainly is growing on me. So cute to see that they were good friends prior to the show
Btw, do you know where I can watch White Christmas with Eng subs? Searched it up on Dramawiki and the premise seems pretty interesting.
I watched it on dramacrazy.net. Here is the link:
http://www.dramacrazy.net/korean-drama/white-christmas/
It is really good and with so many great actors. I kept saying, “oh my goodness. I didn’t know he was in this.” or “look he is is so young here.” One of the best dramas I have seen.
He’s in episodes 9 and 10 of To The Beautiful You, which I’m only tolerating for those two episodes to see him until the next School 2013.
*joins the NOfest*
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nooo!! but then again yessss!!! I’m really excited about the drama awards and have been voting for the best couple and popularity award!!
MBC awards on Sunday December 30th!! I plan on watching it live although I only understand a little Korean.
KBS and SBS are on Dec 31st. I’ll be at work so I can’t watch it live but will download as I get home.
This is will be an awesome and rewarding experience for me as I’ve invested a lot of time in K-dramaland this year!!!
WHOOP WHOOP!!!!
Where will you be downloading/streaming the awards ceremony?
no anything that helps keep down the number of episodes they do under that time pressure period is a good thing. Everything goes down hill 95% of the time in k-drama once they reach that point, so less episodes made under that pressure means less time for the script production and filming to go down hill and bringing the acting down with it..after all it hard to stay in character when the writers or producer changing it very week to fit the time limitation.
I’m spending my Christmas break stressing out on 3 school projects and now the only dramas I’m watching are getting preempted… Will I get a happy new year?
Oh no! I hope your school projects turn out really well and you get super super high grades!
i just can’t take it anymore . . . have never understood this korean obsession for throwing a peace sign in pictures . . . but here, it’s in like every SINGLE picture, UGH!
Don’t worry: I don’t get it either!
lol maybe becuase they still at war…they have a speacil feeling for the pease sign.
it’s not just Koreans. all asians do that.
I’m asian and I do not do the peace sign.
I’m asian too…but never do the peace sign..:)
lol!
My daughter does it, too.
I think it has come to mean:
“LOOK at MEEEE, aren’t I cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute?”
Just like every thing else on Facebook.
Basically yes….that is what it represents today.
I am from the UK and loads of young teens use this sign these days as well as the small heart…. with a little tilt to the head….I am cute!! right right!! I know it!!
When flipped the other way though…basically means fuck off.
wow, why does such a harmless gesture incite such anger/disgust? o___o
In some places it’s actually a victory, not a peace sign (in other words, given the situational context and opposite meanings, it might not be so harmless at all!).
Seems to be Lee Jong-suk whose particularly fond of making that sign.
you know I heard it is not a good sigh to do on UK.
It has a not so good meaning behind it…
I also heard it is like showing the middle finger to people on Australia, is it true?
Nah, we do the peace sign here but it was never really popular…also apparently if you flip your hand the other side, it becomes a swear word *shrugs* the things you hear in primary school
But seriously no school and no king
( what a nightmare, although my exams are starting the week after (jan 11) so maybe it’s a good thing that there are less distractions!
yea the V sign. Facing you palms in is an insult in the uk.
pretty sayingf f**k you with it around the wrong way in britain and ex colonies…
“V” was a Victory salute during World War 2, a counter to the Nazi salute.
Also as an insult, “V” symbolized spread legs.
I’ve heard it’s because Koreans like to emphasize having a V-line and so they pose with the V-sign. But I’m not 100% sure
boooo, dramalords!! why are you messing with me? i want to watch KoD!!!!!! and now i have to wait for a week to watch the finale ¬¬.
you better give me a good finale special, ok????
No! Funny, I know New Year’s Eve is the day for end of year ceremonies, but they’ll be airing on New Year’s?
Add that to no Cheongdamdong Alice too, but I think we need a break from last week’s doozy.
Teeeeeaars! Okay fine, I’ll take one episode of School. Although, I hate it when they throw off the ep count.
On December 25, an official from KBS announced, “Actor Joo Won will be re-enacting the unforgettable scene from the drama ‘Bridal Mask’ at the ‘2012 KBS Drama Acting Awards.’”
The OST “Judgement Day,” which was sung by Joo Won himself, will also be part of this performance. A choir and the famous tenor singer Lee Jung Hyun will appear as special guests as well.
How EPIC will that be?? **Dies**
is there a possibility to get subbed that award ceremony or at least watch it raw? I don’t want to miss THAT hahaha :O…
As for other news, I would say… noooooooooooooo
I am already thinking about KOD all the days, so how can I wait even more …
Yea. It should be easy to find online. I downloaded the KBS entertainment awards on Sunday a few hours after it aired and no it wasn’t subbed…
yes you find it easy enough after all it is the one show KBS would have no troubles over seeing all over the web, but eng sub.. you may get clips cut out if they feature people with strong fan base that get subbed over time, but the whole show..doubtfull.
I see, thank you all for info. So I will search for the “raw” version (finally, who cares, I can listen Gaksitaaaaaaal without subs too hehe
)
Wait, what is “the unforgettable scene”? There were lots of scenes. Now I’m curious. I want Park Ki-woong to be in it!
He will yell “GaksitaaaaAAAAAAAAAL!” so loud all the guests will look like Leningrad cowboys.
Andweeeeeeee! No Cheongdamdong Alice weekend or King of Dramas Monday-Tuesday? Seriously. My 2 favorite dramas? Tear. What am I going to do next weekend??!? I hope dramabeans posts a lot of posts so we can all still talk to each other
$#!^ those School 2013 kids look young.
I knew it! Tsk! So bad, I am going to miss School 2013 on Monday!
Girlfriday: Where did you get this info? Seems that KoD’s official site shows that the next episode will air on 7th of January.
That’s what I thought too. I’ve been preparing for a 2-week hiatus — staring into space & running the Japanese movie Love Letter over & over.
Good idea!
I was thinking the same. Love Letter. Just like Lee Go-eun.
Yes, same with School 2013 too..
Man, I spend all weekend catching up only for them to be preempted! Story of my life, lol.
well, I’d like to know what drama will air after ‘School’ and when will MBC air their drama awards
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think they have sighted the end of those Os traveling off the east coast of Africa now.
You should see what those Os did to my tablet screen. The actual Page is a very narrow column. lol
dont scream so louds, you´ll be heard all the way back to Joseon. the brain fetus will come and take you away
…. Shibrows????….
They are holding hands!!! Cute. Hope that happens in the future. Hold the bully’s hand people! Hold it.
Yeah. Then he can’t hit you…
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
And I’m all for hugs to neutralize thugs.
NOOOOOOOO! First CDDA now these two. The drama overlords hate me. This is what I get for not sympathizing enough with the election preemptions killing Wed-Thurs dramas, isn’t it?
I’ll just sit in the corner shaking from withdrawl of this weekend AND on Monday then.
Those pictures were adorable though, so thank you for that
THEY ARE SKIPPING THE EPISODE OF KOD ON MY BIRTHDAY! NOOOO..
and i forgot we only have 2 episodes of KOD left. i feel as if it is not even near the end!!! WHY!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Why?! I need my School fix! I hope they continue with their original episode count or get a bonus one, because I don’t think I could handle it if they got reduced.
And I’m just glad King of Dramas will get a bonus episode plus a special. Kind of surprising because the ratings isn’t that good. But whatever, I love it so there, drama ratings!
Second that! Drama ratings you should hear us! There are million international viewers who love and appreciate King of Dramas and other good dramas that don’t get astronomical ratings you bestowed to lesser dramas!
You should start thinking globally and e-ly!
Why?!! That’s all I have to say.
Well, those BTS photos really lightened my mood. I’m no longer speechless.
Noooo! I’d rather watch KOD instead of some corny, cheesefest, rigged, worthless awards show! UGH UGH UGH
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO times infinity
The clift hanger of School is not enough, now this preemption is killing me @__@
After Cliffhangermas 2012? NOOOO!!!
I am praying for KoD not to go down the overly beaten path of cliche full of amnesia, incurable cancers, birth secrets and eternal blindeness…
Come on KoD!!!…Please do not disappoint me after such a tremendously well-written and well acted series….
KoD….Whaitting!!!…
Oh, no “Alice” either?
What was that old song … “Now I never get used to not watching next part of “Alice”.
LOL. Yes, there was such a song!
My fav Mr Google tells me it’s Living Next Door to Alice by Smokie!
What a catchy tune! The chorus here:
Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving,
Or where she’s gonna go,
I guess she’s got her reasons,
But I just don’t want to know,
‘Cos for twenty-four years
I’ve been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice…
Yup, the tune is catchy
NOOOOOOOOOOO :’( Schooooooool! How awful
My exams are starting next week 
I was counting on two new eps of School to support me through the terrible time I will go through 
But, AW, such cute pics xD !!!!! I will look at these pictures and learn to be patient :’(
This is upsetting news. But maybe it means a less dramatic ending? Hopefully?
Anyways, Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jeong Suk from School 2013 did a photoshoot for ‘School 2013′ together. For those of you that want to see the pictures, click on this link: http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/10326286.html?view=1044934414#t1044934414
Guys, Jung Ho was that smart nerd from Flower Boy Band. Can u believe the character difference?
he was the deaf journalist from white christmas right???
lolololol you all read my mind… while i was reading i wa slike “NOOOOOOOOOOO” too xDD! ugghh i so wanna know what will happen in king of dramas…! the last minuted of the last episode were heartbreaking and depressing
(( wish they can make it a happy ending somehow…
and those school 2013 pics are shocking XDD well, pretty much jung oh’s and nam soon’s pic together lol i had to rub my eyes and everything! xD
Love all of KOD’s promo pics, but the top one is just SO CUTE
I think that one is the cutest I’v seen so far. Perhaps the best promo IMO.
Weep.
No school 2013 on monday!? Oh well… also the bts pics are really cuteeee~ ㅋㅋ 김우빈 화이팅! ~♡♥♡
OHMAYGAHD! What will my Mondays be like without King of Dramas? We have to wait another week for the ending? /stabs self
Too bad Drama Fever and other streaming services won’t be airing these awards shows with English subtitles. I’d love to watch. Musing out loud…I wonder if my lovely Hyun Bin will put in an appearance and present an award at either of these galas….?
Dammnit, I was hoping to finish KoD over the holiday break! I marathoned it and finally caught up. Now I’m not sure when I’ll have time to watch the finale since I’ll be back in school by then
.
T~T
hah the V signs. I can´t wait for OT thread I have something to show you concerning the V sign. a little prank I pulled on christmas eve
The preview its Out alredy, search for it on Youtube, its on The kbsdrama channel so you won’t have a problem. Sadly it does not have subs yet and no one has translated it either, but we have some good glimpses of what happened after the last intrigued scene.
At least Siwon has finally cut his hair.
No nomination list at all??
that poster of KOD is soo awesome , I love them so much , JRW laugh is so pretty , KMM look is daebak ….
