It seems K-drama fans will have to wait a bit longer for new MBC dramas until springtime due to scheduling conflicts with the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.

On January 2, a representative of MBC stated, "Although it would be possible to put out programs to fit our schedules, we thought it would be best to slowly and gradually release upcoming series in the near future.  Such decisions were made in order to satisfy viewers in providing whole and complete content."

The rep continued, "With that being said, new dramas have been scheduled to be broadcast in March.  Once the current shows like 'Two Cops' and 'I Am Not a Robot' conclude towards the end of January, the scheduled slots will be shifted to cover the 'Pyeonchang 2018 Winter Olympics'," and described new shows won't be airing from late January until March.
