So you have the DramaFever and Viki apps?
Just Drama Fever. I pay the monthly subscription so I can skip commercials.

That is a good question indeed
I’ve been hearing there is a lot of discord and infighting in the leadership..just who and what of course is questionable....but there’s certainly been something going on.
Couldn’t he have just confiscated their satellite dishes? The only good news is that anybody that high on the totem pole was undoubtably an SOB in his own right, so nobody will miss these 10.
Personally I think we should have nuked this sick bastard when his daddy was still in power. There is still time but I gather the collateral damage would be considered inhumane.
The South Korea programs are usually smuggled in on USB these days.
