The Korean drama that has been postponed until 2025 is first the drama WISE RESIDENT LIFE. This drama was initially scheduled to air in the second half of 2024 on tvN every Saturday and Sunday, but has been canceled. Local media reports reveal that this spin-off of HOSPITAL PLAYLIST will not air this year.

The main reason is that the Saturday and Sunday drama schedule on tvN throughout 2024 is already fully booked. In addition to scheduling issues, another factor influencing this delay is the ongoing protests in South Korea. Medical professionals have been actively demonstrating since March 2024.

This is against the South Korean government's policy to increase the quota for medical school admissions in the country. This situation creates a less conducive atmosphere for airing medical-themed dramas. Although the filming of WISE RESIDENT LIFE has been completed and is ready to air, fans are worried.

How this drama will be allowed to air amidst the ongoing protests is uncertain. Previously, tvN took a similar step by rescheduling the airing of this drama to the end of 2024, but protests are still ongoing. In response to this situation, tvN has begun to take strategic steps.

They started promoting another Korean drama as a replacement for the drama WISE RESIDENT LIFE. This decision was made to fill the vacant airing slot and ensure the continuity of the television station's programming. Nevertheless, fans are still awaiting official news regarding the fate of the drama WISE RESIDENT LIFE in the future.

And the Korean drama whose airing schedule has been postponed until 2025 is the drama ALL OF US ARE DEAD SEASON 2. Initially, the popular Netflix drama ALL OF US ARE DEAD announced its second season in 2023. Director Lee Jae-Kyoo revealed that many scenes in the first season were intentionally produced.

This was to expand the story into additional seasons, hinting at the presence of a new zombie race and their unique survival methods. In an interview with Chosun Daily, director Lee announced plans to shoot the drama ALL OF US ARE DEAD SEASON 2 in the second half of 2024, with a target airing in the second half of the following year.

He also stated that casting has been completed and Seoul will be the main location for the second season, increasing the enthusiasm of fans who are looking forward to the continuation of the story. However, on May 23, 2024, Star News revealed that Netflix decided to postpone the promotional schedule by one year.

Although no official announcement has been made regarding the release date, it is known that production will begin in 2025. This delay surprised many fans who have long awaited the continuation of the series. Despite the delay, many cast members are returning even though their characters faced injuries and serious issues in the first season.

This has sparked speculation among fans about how the story will develop and how these characters will return to the narrative, given the extreme situations they previously faced. Until then, for fans of the drama ALL OF US ARE DEAD, you have to be patient once again.

Those are some Korean dramas whose airing schedules have been postponed until 2025. Although delayed, the quality of these dramas is sure to satisfy. Be patient in waiting for them, KLovers!
