sometimes it's not a matter of script. Rain and Krystal have had plenty of opportunities to make our heartls flutter, but even when they're supposed to it just doesn't feel right. and for me it's definately not about the age gap, the actual age gap b/w Rain and Krystal is the same b/w my husband and i. sometimes actors just dont spark on screen.

yea, right now i just dont feel the chemistry between Se Na and Hyun Wook

viki.com

i started rewatching it today b/c waiting for the subs was killing me. this is the best romance i've seen this year

yea, the app sucks too. i have a long list of things i don't like about and drama fever, and the fact that i have to use thier site to watch this is one of them. i use the viki pass and though viki-as a site- tends to have a lot more technical difficulties, i still think it's the better deal.

they are shady.

i'm practically a hermit. i rarely leave my house, and i'm often alone so i leave the TV on almost all the time even if i'm not sitting in front of it. when drama fever 1st introduced premium they went through phases when they would really push it hard, whenever they were doing that streaming speeds would plummet so the quality was awful. i saw this over a period of months. never had the problem before they started wanting people to pay for HD. it's hard to say if the subs are better on viki, but i do find them to be more ...accurate i guess would be a good word. for example the phrase Jalmotesso means "i did wrong" and on viki it is usually (not always but usually) translated as such. on Dramafever the phrase is usually translated as "i'm sorry" probably because in English "i did wrong" sounds oddly formal and it's just not something most american english speakers would say. the translation "i'm sorry" works and you certainly wont be lost story wise, but to me "i'm sorry" doesn't convey the same feeling as "i did wrong."

viki is way faster. even before drama fever started staggering availablity for non premium members their videos were always a day or so behind viki. i have zero respect for drama fever as a business.

i'm disappointed dramafever got the exclusive streaming rights to this. unless you want to pay them $9.99 (more than i pay for netflix or hulu) you have to wait an extra two days to watch it.

i think a longer time table might do the show some good. i loved the show, but i was extremely disappointed by how little screen time was spent on the fact that he's an alien. his alien-ness could have easily been exchanged with any number of other tired k-drama plot devices and the change would have resulted in only small differences to the over all show. if it's handled well it has very good chances. of the currently airing scripted shows on american television right now, one of the longest running is Supernatural, which is getting ready to enter it's TENTH season.

is any one else stupid happy that Name Song Hyo decked Hae Young? she didnt slap him, she didnt ball up her tiny fist and beat on his chest, nah she strolled right up to him and punched him in his $%&# face! did he deserved to get punched? i dunno, but it warmed the cockles of my heart to see a woman in kdrama who has had just about enough of other people's BS really defend herself!

a miniseries (a show with a set # of episodes) is very rare in american television. however you're probably not looking at as many hours of show as some might think. commercials fill 36% of a show's time slot. so something with an hour slot is only actually 40 minutes. 65% of all new shows will be cancelled after their first season, and even if they make it through it's unusual for the show to go on more than 3 or four seasons, esp if it's not procedural.

yea, i really dont see how anyone thought it was a good idea to have a 10-12 episode stretch where the leads werent in the same room for more than 5 minutes an episode. even when that starts to even out there are still eps in the end where they are get more screen time together in flashbacks than actual story development. i wish i could say it crashed and burned but that would suggest something spectacularly awful at least. no the last 18 episodes of QOSOP are less like a firey automobile accident and more like watching jaba the hut slowly stangled by his own fat while he sleeps.

where do you guys watch web dramas? there's been a few i wanted to watch but i could never seem to find them with subs any where

the part where a guy falls in love with his dead girlfriend's sister isnt simillar?

any one know what SOP means
*edit* this reminds me of "PS man" the drama was named that b/c the dude said PS like twice? so they mention standard operating proceedure once and feel the need to name the show that?

reminds me of which star are you from.

your list only has 12 enteries, is that all the drama you have watched? if so i hate to tell you but the lack of well rounded female characters is pretty standard in most asian dramas. Even if a show has more women they are largely one dimensional.

it does air 2 a wk but this week i might not have b/c of Chuseok

i stil havent finished that behemoth.

viki lists 33 episodes. the links to eps 5 and 10 are broken what i was able to find those eps with eng subs on youtube. **** i have since scoured the internet and viki does have the most complete subs, but unfortunately after ep 11 the subs are incomplete for a few eps then they stop. ****
