I just read something this morning. Unfortunately, I didn't save the link. >_< It said that Netflix has partnered with Chinese Baidu. So that means, now Netflix will be bringing in more Mainland Chinese content. In one way, this is awesome, as it is extremely hard to find many Mainland titles. However, this will, undoubtedly get in the way of Viki gaining those titles, which means that those who have no access to Netflix will be missing out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to research and write this article! It is one of, if not *THE*, best articles I have read here on MDL. It is obvious that you took a lot of time to research and write about it! I have always been interested in history of any kind, especially Asian history, but I didn't know a lot about the Korean War. In fact, before I read your article, I didn't even know that for much of War, the North was actually winning. The present day could have been extremely different there on the Korean Peninsula. I am eagerly awaiting your next article chingu! ♥
Rofl! As soon as I saw the title of this article, I knew it was yours! Haha! I loved this article, chingu, even though I found no redeeming factors in FBRS at all. :p
About the Healer and ASD thing: I guess I was lucky in that whatever version I watched that was not in. I never would have rated it so high if it had been! I wonder if it was actually mentioned in the drama or if a subber just slapped it in half assed because they couldn't translate a different disorder. You are absolutely right about Healer not being the least bit autistic. If anyone was displaying traits of ASD, it was Ajumma. Lol
SoEulmate Couple *did* get closure. In Boys Over Flowers Afterstory. It was a collection of short scenes but at the end of Yi Jung's scene, it shows him proposing to Ga Eul. (*^_^*)
I agree with everything you said! I really liked this drama, though I rated it an 8 I think because it did feel kind of slow at some points. Still, I was surprised by how much I ended up liking it, considering it's more melo than I usually go for.
One thing of note. I have never been a fan of Hyun Bin. I have always thought he was overrated as an actor. Especially after Secret Garden. However, he is exceptional here. I loved him in this and loved his character. Also, Bo Ra has the best fashion of any character in any drama I have seen.
They often blur out commercial logos. Like on cars or coffee cups lol I guess that's not censorship but yeah,…
A lot of the blurred out logos are due to DF or Viki not having licenses to show those brand names. Like for instance, in Reply 1988, a lot of logos and scenes showing on their tvs were blurred out while watching on DF. However, if I watched on Dramacool, they were not blurred out. So not all of the logo blurring has to do with the network at all.
LOL, you can tell some people are only voting based on their bias. Moorim and Moon Lovers shouldn't have…
Just because you did not like something doesn't mean others feel the same way. I do feel the polls kind of seem off balance, but oh well. People have different tastes. I know I totally disagree with you, for instance, about Moon Lovers.
