Well, looks like 'Murim School' continues to flounder in the drama sphere as in the end, they have been cut down from twenty episodes to sixteen.


According to the broadcasting industry, KBS took into consideration the low viewer ratings and harsh criticism, notifying the production company that the drama will be ending prematurely.  The production crew had requested additional funds for production, but had been turned down by the broadcasting company.

After sixteen, rather than the original twenty, episodes, the remaining time slot will be covered by a 4-part drama, 'Babysitter.'  On top of that, the press conference planned for January 25 was suddenly canceled due to the film set freezing over after a recent cold spell.


Are you sad to hear the drama is ending sooner or do you agree with KBS's decision?
