This series is airing in Korea exclusively on the Lifetime (KR) channel. Every week Lifetime (KR) releases two episodes. However, two OTT services in Korea, namely TVING OTT and AppleTV+ (KR) are releasing three episodes per week, they split two episodes into 30-40 minutes each.
In other global OTT services, they follow the Lifetime (KR) episode numbering, not the TVING OTT / AppleTV+ (KR).
To summarize:
Or to put it another way: Lifetime (KR) + Global OTT: E01 + E02 is equal to TVING OTT (KR) + AppleTV+ OTT (KR): E01, E02, E03; and so on.
They're the same weekly episodes, just split differently by TVING OTT (KR) and AppleTV+ OTT (KR).
However,
The issues:
TMDB has listed this show as having 12 episodes
According to the rules, “Episodes should be added exactly as they first aired on the original network (title, date, order, season).” (https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/tv/59f743289251416e71000037). In other words, since Lifetime (KR) is the first one to air this show (as with majority of Korean dramas with OTT partnerships, TV/Cable airs first before OTT services can release it), it means the primary Episode numbering should follow Lifetime (KR) which is 8 episodes, not 12.
We can add the TVING OTT (KR) and AppleTV+ OTT (KR) episode numbering (the 12 episodes version) as an Episode Group. Unfortunately, this one is very confusing to me and it appears I did it incorrectly (apologies!!!). (aside: Is there a step-by-step guide on how to use Episode grouping correctly?)
Thank you for the assistance.
