7 + 6 = 13

Yeah, they supposedly filmed 13 episodes, and since S2 had 7, there are 6 left for S3.

It seems Netflix accidentally revealed the date in a post:

That was obviously fake news lol

That makes absolutely no sense. S2 simply stops in the middle of everything. It was written and filmed together with S3 and together they complete the story the creator wanted to tell.

Blame Netflix. Their backlog of dramas is ridiculous. This finished filming last April. And every new Netflix original filming at this time will basically have to wait until 2026 to be released. Hopefully we'll get this one in February/March this year, rather than having to wait even longer.

I enjoyed S2 a lot, but it was very clear that it was just half a story and just stopped in the middle of everything. The success of the story overall will be more clear after the final 6 episodes are out in 2025.

Knetz and common sense don't go together

Everyone can make a mistake like this. It's clear many were just waiting to jump on him for daring to portray a minority in a conservative as hell country. Maybe worry about your corrupt politicians and your democracy crumbling rather than someone mistakenly posting something to their IG story.

Slice of life dramas are generally known for having less elaborate plots, happily following the characters in their daily lives, dealing with trouble at work, trying to reach their goals, falling in and out of love. Some find it boring, while others love it. It depends on what you like.

Confirmed to be 12 episodes (as opposed to 16 which was what was stated originally.)

Most realistic dramas with mature themes and characters are underrated on MDL, nothing new.

I finally thought Kang Hoon would get his chance to be ML since he was the first actor linked to and confirmed for this project ages ago, but now it seems like he'll actually be SML once again... 🙃

Currently tentatively scheduled for June 2025. Filming is still ongoing.

They started in June and just finished today/yesterday.

Black Salt Dragon does not sound like a romcom, which is likely why they changed the name. In English the native Korean title makes little sense and gives no indication of what the drama is about. Some would maybe get associations to Six Flying Dragons, which is a very different drama. I agree that the "My X Y" titles are overused though. At least it's not "My Lovely Nemesis". 🤣

Yes, filming just wrapped. Scheduled for February. There's been a bit back and forth on whether it's 16 or 12 episodes, but it looks like it'll be 12. Makes most sense with length of filming, too.

Now that Squid Game 2 promo is mostly done I'm gonna need some casting news.

He already prepared fans for that in interviews, saying he didn't film that much for S2 and S3, and he was also doing Worst of Evil promo and filming Midnight Romance in Hagwon at the time.

Sangmin choosing yet another age-gap noona romcom after two flops. Hope third time's the charm!
