This could be good or bad news for “Reply 1994” fans.

On November 29, a representative from tvN stated, “We decided to extend ‘Reply 1994’ by one episode so there will be a total of 21 episodes. The drama is currently in the middle of its story, but we decided to extend it an episode because it would have been difficult to explain the story in 20 episodes.”

“Reply 1994” is currently receiving a lot of attention for breaking the viewership ratings for cable dramas. ABG Nielsen reported that its latest episode, episode 11, had a viewership rating of 9.3%, which is exceptionally high for cable channels. Cable dramas are considered successful if they pass 1% and are labeled highly successful if they pass 5%.

The drama has already surpassed “Reply 1997” in popularity in Korea and critics and fans alike are highly anticipating it to reach double digit ratings.
