‘A Gentleman’s Dignity,’ Audiences Complain For Late Notice
Due to the 2012 London Olympics, SBS's drama 'A Gentleman's Dignity' was unable to air its latest episode.
Audiences reacted with complaints for the late notice, as they were anticipating the drama's airing. It was previously planned for SBS's weekend drama 'A Gentleman's Dignity' to broadcast its 19th episode at an earlier time, however, news of the drama's break appeared on the television screen, "Today's weekend dramas 'Delicious Life' and 'A Gentleman's Dignity' will not be aired due to the 2012 London Olympics. We hope audiences will understand." Instead of the drama, SBS aired a men's doubles qualifying round.
With only two episodes remaining, 'A Gentleman's Dignity' organized its 19th episode to air on the 28th at 9:30 PM. If the Korean athletes were to be eliminated in the first round, the 19th episode would have been broadcasted 25 minutes earlier.
However, SBS failed to notify viewers even while broadcasting the women's handball and judo competitions, leaving viewers in confusion right before the airing of 'A Gentleman's Dignity.'
Viewers complained, "Aren't they supposed to let us know even a little bit earlier? Without any warning, they suddenly announced that there was no airing. What is this after I continuously waited in front of the TV?"
