Really surprising news from outta nowhere. I had just upped with them for another year so I'll be getting that…
I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that someone is going to buy them out, change the name, the pricing and add tons of advertising on the website--similar to what kisskh did. I'm really horrified by all the non-stop advertising there is on this website. I wish there was someone to compete with them (kisskh). It gets very tiring and annoying to try to avoid all the ads!
It seems that the Viki team has proved so far the smartest - they do not pay their segmenters and translators…
Sorry but I don't think that Viki is smart at all. When you get things for free while you are making money, it's just wrong! I understand some people just enjoy doing it but there is no real incentive to be consistent or accurate. My biggest complaint about Viki has been the quality of some of the subbing, although some are good. It seems that Viki thinks if they praise and advertise their free subbers thoughout the dramas that it will be enough to satisfy the subbers and the public. Not. I find if very annoying although I do appreciate the effort on the part of the actual subbers-it's just not a good business model!
These are the alternative to dramafever, I know it won't be as great as drama fever but these sites upload ongoing…
The problem with the sites you listed--especially the bad kissasian website--is that they have a LOT of advertisements and really insulting, raunchy ads! You almost can't find out how to start the drama because you have to search through so much crap and hope you hit the right icon! Seriously, it's not worth it to me!!
i keep hearing from people outside of the US that netflix has a good stable of asian drama. yea, netflix USA has…
I have Netflix. There is no way that their selection of Asian dramas is larger than Dramafever's--I have looked for many of them. The other issue is that they aren't even clear pictures (on Netflix)--many of them are sub-par resolution. I have no idea why. It seems that as big as Netflix is, that they would be better. (Although recently I recall that there were icons to click on to go to Dramafever to watch the drama.) I wonder if Netflix could be influencing Dramafever's situation or maybe even planning to buy them out some way?
Sorry but I've never used DF and I'm curious what exclusives did they have?
Was Tribes and Empires an exclusive of Dramafever? I watched the entire series twice and now a third time (about halfway) with some friends. I'm sorry for them if they won't be able to finish it! Also Princess Agents? Another great "re-watch" drama! So good!!
I am really sooo sad--I feel like I lost a good friend. I started with Dramafever about five or six years ago. They have been very reliable with only a few issues and they were always trying to improve themselves. They have the best subbers (in most cases)!! The problem I always had with Viki was often unclear subbing and too much advertising about their subbers while trying to watch the drama. I was a subscriber to Viki but haven't renewed this year because they have created two levels that are more expensive and I'm not sure what you actually get. I am sure all the facts will come out eventually about Dramafever, but meanwhile I will greatly miss this drama website! Thank you for all your work and support over the years, Dramafever Team--Take care!
I have never been a fan a wuxia dramas. In fact, the only one that I've ever watched was Princess Agents and I…
I agree that wuxia has never been a big attraction for me although I love historical dramas. I think Princess Agents was one of the first for me. I loved that drama (except for the perverted old man--it was really over done). Now I can't wait for season 2 of Princess Agents and just pray the writers will do it justice (same actors, directors and producers)! Thanks.
It seems that the drama is already available on vikii? But the english sub is still on progress
I decided to watch this yesterday and saw the first two episodes on Viki. It seems interesting but the subtitles are just okay. After the first two episodes they skip a lot of subtitles in the scenes also. I love historical-themed dramas, but finding good subtitles can be very difficult (although I've watched some really good ones too)!
Cute actors. A little too predictable and too drawn out--slow. I thought the female antagonist character, Jo Woo Ri, was pretty boring. Definite case of second lead syndrome with Kwak Dong Yeon--really liked his character, and the CEO mom! There was a little comedy, a little romance, but nothing spectacular or that memorable, I gave it a rating of 7.8 out of 10.
Does anyone know the name of the piano/guitar tune played in episode 3 background music for theatre scene and the Hollywood sign scene? Thanks if you do! (I am interested in the piano sheet music.) Take care.
I'm from America. I wasn't bothered by it, but it was poor acting. LOL Some of the stereotypes are true. The surfer…
Some of it can be true sometimes--they have that in all countries. But I have to say as an American, I was disappointed that this is the way they portrayed California. You have to admit that the majority of citizens are NOT like that! Meet some real people and you will know for sure. Also, it was interesting the different scenes of Southern and Central Californa. I know all of them personally and there is no way you can get from one to the other in the time frame they portrayed in the drama.
I really liked this drama. Maybe it wasn't 100% perfect, but overall I keep coming back to it. This is at least my third time watching. I liked all of the actors--they were very good. I would personally recommend that you should watch it. (I've definitely seen much worse, but this is good!) I will say that i didn't like so much the way they portrayed people from California--that's all just movie stuff! I rated it 9.5 out of 10. Enjoy!
As one of the most popular dramas, is this a must-watch? I have been staring at it for years but not too keen…
To me, it's a must-watch. I really don't understand of the low ratings. I loved it when I first watched it a few years ago and I've watched it a few more times since then. The actors are adorable and a good story line. Maybe it wasn't perfect, but it was really good! I recommend watching it for sure! Enjoy.
Not sure if you’ve seen these yet, All fairly popular and have similar elements to untouchable Lovers:Prince…
“Red Cliff” has two parts—each about 2.5 hours long. So that’s about 5 hours total. I love drama series also because of the opportunity to develop the characters and storyline. I also wanted to mention that this movie won several awards and is really one of the best I’ve ever seen. From the dramas you listed, I am guessing that you will really like this. Check it out if you want and let me know what you think. —Especially if you’re in a place where you need something to watch. I am pretty sure you won’t be disappointed! Take care (:
You really gotta watch Ashes Of Love, Literally the best ever C-drama that I've watch. Cute, sad romance. Everything…
I watched the first episode of "Ashes of Love" but it was too much fantasy. I like a little wuxia, but it really seemed over the top. Although it had pretty good ratings but it was hard for me to get into it.
Not sure if you’ve seen these yet, All fairly popular and have similar elements to untouchable Lovers:Prince…
I really love "Princess Agents" (except for the perverted grandfather--they should have left that part out completely!) It is going to be very hard for me to wait until next year for Season 2. Seriously, I think about it all the time. Loved the actors and cinematography. Also the music.

Have you seen BuBu Jing Xin (the original Scarlett Heart--Chinese version)? It was excellent! Also, if you want to watch a really great movie (2 parts), you must see "Red Cliff." It's still one of my very favorites!
i really dislike the kissasian internet channel, but i want to see this so I will give it another try. It would be great if it was showing somewhere else with English subs.
the right icon! Seriously, it's not worth it to me!!
Also, it was interesting the different scenes of Southern and Central Californa. I know all of them personally and there is no way you can get from one to the other in the time frame they portrayed in the drama.
