not surprising....after seeing 3 episodes of 'evilive' I can say Kim Young-kwang is really impressive in this…
I agree, MinJi23. Kdramas are my nightly get-away-from-the-world escape. I've put many in the Plan To Watch list and On Hold but I might not ever get around to watching them specifically bc of the violence.
Agreed. Instead of Choi Hyun Wook Declines Offer to Lead the new K-Drama I Am Against My Romance the author used clickbait to make it sound like Choi Hyun Wook rejected Go Min Si.
I've placed a few dramas under Plan to Watch and in the notes the date they release on Hulu. When I have more…
Regardless of the hype or because the show is new, I pretend they don't exist. Out of sight out of mind sort of thing. I scrolled past the article to check the comments for SPAM. There's at least 1 under every article and we should look out for our MDL brothers & sisters to keep them safe. Blessings to you, GoodRick.

The only entertainment I have is Netflix and Viki. I actually deactivated my Netflix account last week, but within a day I kept thinking about how I've had it from 2012 even though there are aspects of Netflix I don't agree with. So I hit the reactivate button, and of course, it bumped me into the scale if I hadn't left. BUT, Same scale, $3 cheaper WITH "limited" ads. So I saved 3 bucks. Whoop Whoop. Lesson learned.
*I've been researching. We all know Netflix invested 2.5 billion over 4 years. They had been investing in Korean content since 2016. Squid Game bumped their investment up in 2021. They were the first international company to invest, which from a Korean entertainment point of view meant A LOT.
Disney invested in 2021, paying a fraction which is why Hulu has a fraction of the shows from South Korea (Asian content). All they've done is stick their toe in the water, also from a Korean entertainment point of view means they're still leery. This from google: The Walt Disney Company has a larger market capitalisation at $179.2 billion compared to Netflix's $150.7 billion market cap. Over 99% of Netflix's revenue is from its online streaming service. Netflix comes out on top.
*Founded in 2008 in California, USA, Viki moved to Singapore in 2008 grounding itself in the Asian entertainment market. The move to Tokyo came in 2008 when the Rakuten Group, Inc comglomerate acquired them. Viki was the first all Asian entertainment streaming site that has survived despite the growth in the substantial growth of other streaming sites. You want Asian content and ONLY Asian content...go to Viki.
My point is after this long ramble, Viki, and Netflix despite their shortcomings still provides the best (and most) Asian content. The others are swimming toward the boat after the boat left the harbor. My loyalty is with them. But what do I know. My only entertainment is my dramas & movies from the Asian region. I don't watch anything else, so I don't want to have multiple subscriptions just for 2 or 3 shows I think I can't live without and the hype is practically overwheming. Besides, both are within my budget. I'm not suffering by having to give up something else to hang onto the subscriptions, as of now. I'm stubborn. I can hold my desire at bay in wanting to watch great shows elsewhere because I know if I surpass my budget I WILL suffer.
I might have to bite the bullet and buy subscription to the Hulu/Disney bundle. I've been putting it off forever…
I've placed a few dramas under Plan to Watch and in the notes the date they release on Hulu. When I have more than 4 within the date I'll rethimk adding a subscription. I've been in the mood to downsize lately though.
I kinda sorta agree with you. I started this twice to the middle of episode 1. This time I said nope, I'm going to finish it and did tonight. Where most dramas start to wane in the middle, Miraculous Brothers picked up around episode 5 and stayed strong until the last half of the last episode. Still didn't like the rushed ending though.
Thank you. Ironic you replied, Melodramatica. I was thinking about how the person's comment below mine didn't have any giveaways, and it was nice to see.
Any hairdressers here? Whoever cut his hair has the skill which many even hope to obtain. His, or her, level is just well beyond excellent, and I'm sure they're paid handsomely for it! See Miraculous Brothers , especially episode 12 at the 50 minute mark.
Ya know when a drama is currently airing there are numeous people who have not watched Part 1 and much more haven't watched the current episodes of Part 2. WHY have so many in the comments forgotten, or outright refused, to place them under the SPOILER tag out of respect for others?
If it's too hard to hit the SPOILER box before submitting your comment, then please know how hard it is for the viewers who haven't watched yet. It's a case of disrespect versus respect.
It's easy for the readers to hit the little arrow on REVEAL SPOILER if they are in need. Thank you to the commenters who have consistently used the SPOILER tag.
Edit the biography. If enough people try to edit it then they'll get the message. Just take out the word younger.
I applaud all the MDL accts that decided to edit her bio. I pulled up her bio before I finished reading the second paragraph in the article and hit the edit button right then. Opinionated writing has NO place in the Bio section. Now if we could just get the person who apparently dislikes South Korean actors/actresses (awful pics) to change their tune. I've given up on that after several attempted edits.

I apologize for this being so long.
