KBS’s DARE TO LOVE ME. (Viki and Neflix in places).

Still no legal US stream. SBS do the right thing. Please license CONNECTION to Kocowa and Viki.

Trigger warnings? Seriously, if gambling is an issue you should probably avoid UTG. Other than that I don’t know about any.

Nice mini series. Thank you Viki for picking up Under the Gun.
(Zuho has such a resemblance to Lee Joon-gi that I couldn’t get LJG out of my mind lol).

Sorry to say but I jumped ship during episode 12. I really liked Yu He Wei and Bai Yu Fan but I didn’t think I could take almost 30 more episodes of Zhou Lin’s harping about acquiring wealth.

Can anyone identify the historical novel on which this drama will be based?

As of now Viki US is not listing KBS’s Dare to Love as coming soon. I hope this drama is licensed by Viki US.

I joked that this drama originally started out as the Korean remake of the great Jdrama on Netflix: House of Ninjas but was transformed into the drama we will be getting.

I love seeing that Netflix logo up there.

I have watched and enjoyed the first six episodes and very broadly I get a Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014) feel for City of the City. Instead of international trading we are in the world of banking/finance. Bai Yu Fan ( so good as the young constable in Ripe Town (2023)) here takes on the roll of bank employee newbie something akin to the role Siwan had in Misaeng. Yu He Wei (terrific as as the detective trying to unravel the mystery in the sci-fi Three-Body (2023)) take on the roll of senior bank executive that is something akin to the role Lee Sung-min had in Misaeng. Just a feeling I have. I hope there is enough material for 40 episodes. One issue I see is with banking/financial terminology. Anyway early days in the drama and I am glad I found it.

Thanks for the info. Nice short drama.

Thanks for the link. The article says “all episodes released simultaneously”. I can’t find out how many episodes this drama will have. The title must be a play on the ML’s character’s name: Go Gun.

Poker is an unusual setting for a drama so I will definitely check it out.
Because South Korea has rather stringent gambling regulations I will be interested in learning how poker fits in.

Glad to report UNDER THE GUN is now on Viki’s ‘Coming Soon’ list.

I will definitely keep an eye out for future developments on this drama.

Maybe I missed it earlier or they are pulling it together quickly because now at Viki there is a listing for a subbing team. I am glad to see that.

Thanks for the heads up. I am assuming that subs will come from Kocowa since I don’t see mention of a subbing team at Viki.

5 days out and KBS has still not licensed this drama to Viki. Even though I would love to watch Grabbed By The Collar/Nothing Uncovered I won’t resubscribe to Kocowa to watch.

Well done. Congratulations Kim Sun Young.

I am totally with you.
Kocawa is a joint venture by the big three SK territorial networks: SBS, KBS and MBN. My understanding is that Viki has some kind of arrangement to license the big three dramas. It seems less and less of the big three SK network’s dramas are being licensed to Viki. Over the last few years it seemed to me that first the big three network dramas appeared on Kocowa’s “Coming Soon” list and then they would appear on Viki’s “Coming Soon” list. That is not a given any more especially with Disney+ in the mix now.
All that being said I hope Nothing Uncovered/Grabbed by the Collar will appear soon on Viki’s “Coming Soon” list. Fingers crossed.
