The White Truck of Doom

well I'm giving it a try because 1) your comment and 2) the lead acctress - she was amazing in Yellow Boots.

at first this drama was up and down for me, but ultimately I loved it. I loved the first 6-8 eps but later I was put off by the female character - the "Emblem Protector". I didn't like her. Well turns out I wasn't supposed to like her, all of the characters including hers were written a bit differently then what you may have expected them to be. She was a negative type. But I fast forwarded her part and got so hooked on this drama. There was a lot to like and characters to love, like the Fire Tiger, or the Ferret, or Lin Dong's sister, the family love.
-----And the 40th episode was truly amazing.
Lin Dong exceeded all expectations. I love this and now on Season 2, wish there would be more. It was great seeing Yang Yang in this type of drama.

Of all the reviews of Martial Universe Season 1, your's matches how I feel.
I wonder if some of the other more negative reviewers actually finished the drama.
I loved how it started out and the first 6-8 eps were great.
What was off putting was the female character, the "Emblem protector". I didn't like her.
Well, she was written that way on purpose I think. She dug in her heels a lot and didn't like or trust Lin Dong, and seemed in it for the wrong reason rather than what she was supposed to be doing, protecting Lin Dong. She screwed up a lot too.
So when she got a lot of air time I just fast forwarded a bit, and BAM. The drama grew on me like crazy. I also didn't see Lin Dong's infatuation with her, and later it all became clear, didn't it? ( I won't spoil it for anyone.)
The 40th episode was WOW, It wrung some tears out of me. And made me so excited for Season 2. I'm started on that and at this time the English subs can't come fast enough.
I really love this drama. Would like it go keep going and going.
On and it was nice to see Yang Yang in this type of role.

↑ I liked Goblin thought that Kim Go Eun looked so much younger than Gong Yoo. Turns out in real life he's 39 and she's 27. So they made her look even younger.

It makes me "uncomfortable" that I didn't get to finish this before Drama Fever went boom.
Is anyone subbing the remainder of the episodes?
Are the only eps out there the ones that ripped subs from DF? If so we might not get to finish it.

AT&T really sucks now that it merged with Time Warner.

I miss Phillip Lee. He was last in the kdrama "Faith" but most memorable in "Secret Garden".
His eye was injured in "Faith". I couldn't find where he had returned to acting.
The drama Faith seemed to be jinxed .

yes they can insert robot.txt that block access to everything even the Wayback Machine.
Even though the appearance is wonky it is a way to recapture the content while you can.
I would be surprised if they don't block access once they think about it.

true but the "illegal" sites were stealing the subs.
So these sites won't be able to get subs for the dramas that only DF was running.

C-dramas are my favorite because they have alot of fantasy style dramas. I guess with thousands of years of history they have lots of material to work with.

I checked out the content for English subs and right now it's mostly older dramas that I watched years ago.
Do you have more information for if/when the newer dramas (like ones on air but were streaming at DF) will be available?
The promo link is basically offering 2 extra months for paid subscription.
The monthly subscription fee is $7.99

yeh, I really liked Helian Zheng and his death didn't fit the way he'd been before. Darn it. I'm still working up the nerve to watch the last episode.
The last few eps have been disappointing. :(
The editing perhaps... I really liked Feng Zhiwei's character for most of the drama.

licenses for a drama can cost a million dollars.

True. Too often I got halfway through a Chinese drama on Viki and the subs even stopped. Kaput. Never completed. Now I never watch a Chinese drama on Viki unless all episodes are up and 100% subbed.

Important! Hessa is right you can go to the "Wayback Machine" and find DF's site and pages archived. But do it now, grab everything you can before DF realizes it hasn't blocked access. I pulled up the main site by typing link at web.archive.org and then clicked on a recent date. You can click on older dates. The main site came up but kept hourglassing. Still I could see a search box and also the link to "news" and clicked on news and the page loaded. You should still also be able to use the search function.

Good luck and hurry!

PS I really enjoyed the dramaclubbers work and the articles posted under news.

I use a roku,they are inexpensive too

Last night I re-subscribed with Viki thanks to that 30% off.
At least I can stream some dramas via my Roku.
Oh well. I guess it is a dynamic changing industry.

she married him. That's the ultimate hope giver. And she moped a lot about her plight, which she took active part in. I feel that her character changed a lot in the last 10 eps.

I preferred DramaFever and had them for years. :(
Viki is doing 30% off right now so I re-subscribed (had dropped them this March.

I'm upset. I was loving this drama but it started to devolve around ep 50 and I think it committed suicide at ep 69. I don't know if I can finish the last ep. :(
