### What’s Going Off Air This Weekend?

MBC’s long-running music program **Music Core** is taking a two-week hiatus, meaning fans won’t get a new episode on either September 26 or October 3. This is a longer break than usual, likely tied to how extensively the Asian Games are dominating network broadcast schedules over this period.

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s Saturday-Sunday drama lineup is also feeling the impact. Both **A Love Other Than Yours** and **Love on the Menu** will skip their usual weekend episodes entirely, with no new installments airing on September 26 or 27.

### Why Live Sports Coverage Disrupts K-Drama Schedules?

This kind of scheduling shakeup is fairly common in Korean broadcasting whenever a major sporting event like the Asian Games takes over network airtime. Since these are live, unpredictable events requiring extended coverage, regularly scheduled entertainment programming — especially weekend variety and drama slots — often gets pushed aside temporarily to accommodate it.

For dedicated K-drama and K-pop fans, this means a short but noticeable gap in their usual entertainment routine, though it’s worth noting the shows aren’t cancelled — just delayed.

### Catch Up While You Wait

If the wait feels long, this is actually a great opportunity to binge previously released episodes. Fans can catch up on **Love on the Menu** right now on Viki, making sure they’re all caught up and ready when new episodes eventually resume.
