Original "Black out" drama is in 16 episode, MBC decide to "condense" into 14 episode before broadcasting.
Last week, Korean Online TV "Lifetime Korea" broadcast 16 episode extended Edition starting October 11 every Fri, Sat exclusive to their Channel. Later we find out the Hulu "Black-Out" english version is in 16 episode also, which is differ from other OTT using MBC version like Hulu Japan.
I don't have Hulu or Lifetime Korea, but it seems both 16 episode version are the same, I don't think Hulu will edit a special version for their OTT exclusively.
After comparing the preview description for 14 and 16 episodes, the content is nearly the same as follows,
Hulu Ep.1-2 ~ MBC Ep.1-2
Hulu Ep.3-4 ~ MBC Ep.3
Hulu Ep.5-8 ~ MBC Ep.4-7
Hulu Ep.9-12 ~ MBC Ep.8-11 (Rearranged Content)
Hulu Ep.13-14 ~ MBC Ep.12-13
Hulu Ep.15-16 ~ MBC Ep.14

MBC seems cut the scene from original(Hulu) Ep3,4,15,16, which is quite reasonable. The reason of Jung-woo's father death seems miss out, the election part in the end and the fade of Yeong-sil / Gu Tak are missing, maybe MBC thinking those parts are not important.
Anyone have watch the Hulu version that could compare the difference in between?
