tvN has announced that ep.3 of “A Korean Odyssey” will air Saturday, January 6, 2018. Ep.3 was originally scheduled to air on Saturday, December 30, 2017, but a series of errors, glitches and one serious injury of a crew member caused filming to be paused while additional safety measures were implemented. The Korean media learned on December 26, 2017 that a crew member fell about 3 meters (10 feet) while hanging a chandelier on December 23, 2017 and became paralyzed. This follows an error prone airing of ep.2 on Sunday, December 24, 2017 which caused tvN to re-air ep.2 on Monday, December 25, 2017. “A Korean Odyssey” is a highly anticipated drama series that is a remake of classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West” and stars Lee Seung-Gi, Cha Seung-Won and Oh Yeon-Seo.

Ep.3 of tvN drama series “A Korean Odyssey” delayed at least a week

Ep.3 of currently airing tvN drama series “A Korean Odyssey” has now been delayed for at least 1 week. On December 26, 2017 Korean media discovered that a serious accident occurred on the filming set on December 23rd involving a crew member. The crew member was hanging a chandelier on the ceiling, but fell about 3 meters (about 10 feet). He was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with paralysis of his lower body. To ensure such accidents will not happen again, production will halt as scheduling will be re-arranged, more crew members added and additional safety measures implemented. This follows a disastrous airing of ep.2, in which wire lines holding up the flying black spirits were visible and commercials suddenly appeared. Ep.2 was re-aired the following day on December 25th without the glitches.

Ep.3 will now air January 6, 2018 at its earliest or later.
