Notes
- ^ In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as two 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as four 35 minute episodes, with four episodes being shown each night with three commercial breaks.
- Originally planned for 60 episodes, the series was shortened by four episodes in lieu of two pre-empts and the 2018 Winter Olympics.
- No episodes aired on November 25 due to the broadcast of the 38th Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony.
- No episodes aired on December 30 due to the broadcast of the 2017 SBS Drama Awards ceremony.
- ^ Due to some unpublished ratings, the exact average rating is unknown.
