"Chief Detective 1958" Observes Slight Drop in Domestic Viewership
MBC has left the door open on the possibility of extension and additional shooting for My Dearest.
On November 4, a news site stated that My Dearest, which is currently in extension talks, did not intend to hold any extra shoots even if the drama was extended.
In response, MBC issued an official statement, saying, "The decision to hold further shooting for our Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest depends on whether the drama is extended. If it is decided that the drama will be extended, additional shooting may happen, so it is difficult to state that no additional shooting will take place. There is currently the possibility of additional shoots [for the drama]."
Furthermore, they emphasized, "As previously notified, we are positively considering the extension of My Dearest. Many people are thinking of a one-episode extension due to the programming schedule for the drama after [My Dearest], but a two-episode extension can also happen."
It was also clarified, "Although there is some urgency in shooting the latter part of the work for the sake of the completeness of the project, it is not being rushed like a live broadcast. Both the production team and the cast are putting in their best efforts to complete the latter part of My Dearest."
"The decision on additional shooting ultimately depends on whether the drama will be extended and the number of additional episodes. If the show is extended, additional shooting will naturally happen," the statement said.
