Extraordinary You, starring Kim Hye Yoon, Rowoon, and Lee Jae Wook, has been announced to be replayed on weekends, due to Kim Hye Yoon's overwhelming popularity following the conclusion of the drama Lovely Runner.

Extraordinary You gets re-release due to Kim Hye Yoon’s fame

Extraordinary You will be rebroadcasted in a marathon format on Saturday and Sunday from 6 PM to 10:40 PM. This is significant for the drama and actors alike because it means the channel will be halting the airing of new episodes of dramas and variety shows that typically air during this prime time on weekends. 

Usually, it is said that only big-name dramas or long-running variety shows are broadcast in the evening. The decision to rebroadcast Extraordinary You instead is notable and unprecedented, with the last similar instance occurring when the celebrated actor Gong Yoo’s Goblin and Coffee Prince was rebroadcasted. This marks a milestone for the series, as weekends are the time when families spend time together.


About Extraordinary You

The drama Extraordinary You is a fantasy series that goes as follows: What would you do if you discovered you were a character in a comic and not even the main character? You'd try to change the story, of course. 

Eun Dan Oh, a 17-year-old high school student from a wealthy family, suffers from a lifelong heart condition that means she won't live past her teenage years. When she starts experiencing long gaps in her memory, she realizes another unsettling truth: she is a character in a Korean webtoon, with all her actions predetermined by the artist.

To make things worse, she learns she's only a supporting character. Armed with this new understanding, she sets out to find true love within her own storyline and defy the author's plans, using the glimpses of the storyboard that she alone can see.
