"Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" fans are disappointed due to the cancellation of episode 16. The cancellation was due to a baseball match, which happens to have ended at around 10PM KST - same time Moon Lovers should be airing.
Because of SBS' cancellation of "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo," its international partners airing the series, such as OneTV Asia and LeEco, took to Twitter at the last minute to announce that they will not air episode 16 as well. With that said, domestic and international fans would just need to wait tomorrow for "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" episode 16.
Numerous fans ranted about SBS' decision to cancel episode 16 even after the broadcasting company have revealed tons of still images.
Meanwhile, just as fans thought that SBS will air back-to-back episode of "Moon Lovers," rumor has it that the broadcasting company will only air one episode, while "Moon Lovers" episode 17 will be aired on Monday, Oct. 24. What's worse is that, another baseball match will be held on the said date, which may mean another possible cancellation of "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" episode 17 if the match will not end 20-30 minutes prior scheduled airing.
Although "Moon Lovers" episode 16 did not air tonight, fans would be delighted to know that "Moon Lovers" episode 17 preview was released by Youku, where it shows that Wang So will finally become Gwangjong.
On "Moon Lovers" episode 17 preview, Wang So (King Gwangjong) and Hae Soo will be in the former's royal bed, wherein both looks really happy and teasing each other. Is this the episode where Hae Soo finally reveals to Wang So that she's pregnant? The same episode preview also shows Wang Wook breaking the promise bracelet he gave to Hae Soo.
