With the resurgence of Covid-19 in Seoul, South Korea, many dramas were forced to halt production as actors tested positive for the new coronavirus or came in contact with people who had.
So far, 10 dramas across multiple South Korean broadcast stations have halted production when actors and staff tested positive. They are The Penthouse: War In Life (SBS), The Spies Who Loved Me (MBC), The Moon Rising River, Bossam, Snowdrop (JTBC), Sisyphus: The Myth (JTBC), Hush (JTBC), Joseon Exorcist (SBS TV), Mr Queen (tvN) and Lovestruck In The City (Kakao TV).
