Notes
  1. In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[1]
  2. The biggest investor in this company is KORTOP Media, the agency of Nam Gyu-ri.[2]
  3. Only two episodes were aired due to the broadcast of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup Group F match between South Korea and Portugal.
  4. Due to some ratings not recorded, the exact average rating is unknown.
