It aired on KBS2, from August 9 to September 28, 2017 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 22:00 (KST) for 16 episodes.

Lovely Horribly recorded an even lower single-episode rating of 1.0% in 2018, but Manhole remained the primetime drama with the lowest average rating (2.1%), until Welcome, which aired on the same network and timeslot, broke the record in 2020.
