Notes[]

  1. ^ On May 27, Miss Monte-Cristo aired earlier at 19:10 to 19:50 (KST) to make way for KBS2's live broadcast of the 2021 Volleyball Nations League' (VNL) game between Korea and Japan at 19:50 (KST). This caused Miss Monte-Cristo to go up against MBC's daily soap opera A Good Supper, which drew a higher rating of 5.9%.[28]
