Korean Broadcasting System TV Story) is a TV series that was broadcast on KBS 2TV at 09:00 (KST) during weekdays, developed and produced by the KBS Drama Production group. It was broadcast on KBS 1TV until 2009. The production and broadcasting were temporarily halted due to the production cost issue, however, the TV Novel series was back on KBS 2TV in November 2011 after being reorganized.
On August 13, 2018 KBS announced that the TV Novel series would end after 22 years of broadcast, due to declining audience ratings and increased production costs.[1]
