Notes

1. This drama airs on a cable channel/pay TV which normally has a relatively smaller audience compared to free-to-air TV/public broadcasters (KBS, SBS, MBC and EBS).
2. Today I Grab the Tambourine Again aired on December 28, 2017, instead of the scheduled Saturday at midnight broadcast due to the canceled episodes of Prison Playbook.^[6]
