JTBC has revealed its weekend drama programming plans for the second half of this year, finalizing the lineup to follow 'Apartment.' This scheduling change is a measure to fill the gap caused by production delays for some dramas, and viewers will be able to enjoy a diverse lineup ranging from previously postponed new series to reruns of popular works.

■ Rerun of 'Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency' Beginning August 22 First, starting August 22, a rerun of the 2019 series 'Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency' (hereafter 'Flower Crew') will air. It is a matchmaking historical drama depicting the story of Joseon's finest matchmaking agency, the king's first love 'Gaeddong,' and the king's efforts to protect his first love. Notably, the drama drew attention as it featured Park Ji-hoon and Byeon Woo-seok during their rookie days. The series, which ended in November 2019, will broadcast two episodes each every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.

■ New Hair Salon Growth Drama 'Fly High, Butterfly' to Premiere September 19 Next, starting September 19, the new series 'Fly High, Butterfly' will meet viewers in the weekend evening time slot. Set in the hair salon 'Fly High, Butterfly,' the drama depicts the process of growth and transformation shared by a hair designer, interns, and their clients. Kim Hyang-gi stars as an intern, Choi Daniel as a designer, and Oh Yoon-ah as the salon director, while Park Yeon-seon, the writer of the popular drama 'Age of Youth,' penned the script. The production had completed filming targeting a 2021 broadcast but was postponed due to internal circumstances.

■ 'Final Table' in October, Historical Drama 'Beads of the Divine' Set for December In the mid-to-latter half of the year, additional new series will reach audiences. In October, 'Final Table' starring Ahn Hyo-seop is scheduled to air, followed in December by the historical drama 'Beads of the Divine' (starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min, and Su-hyun), set in the Goryeo era.

■ Efforts to Address Deteriorating Management and Financial Restructuring Continue Meanwhile, JTBC's severe financial condition is also drawing attention alongside this programming change. On June 12, JTBC declared default after failing to repay a revolving credit facility of 20.6 billion won. Since then, through an application for Autonomous Restructuring Support (ARS), the Seoul Rehabilitation Court has extended the moratorium period on whether to commence rehabilitation proceedings until the 30th.
