    1. Fated to Love You

    Taiwanese Drama - 2008, 24 episodes

    5.5

    Due to the broadcast version being 24 episodes with some ad breaks, vs Netflix being 39 episodes, cuts are in different places, and Netflix use this to trim some scenes, which can often be noticed by poorly cut music.

    Netflix removes the outro & preview segment, including often-included bonus scenes that follow the preview.

    For some inexplicable reason, episode 22=37 is missing an entire 13 minutes(!) block, of which half follows up on one of the more interesting plot arcs.

    Netflix also completely omits the "where are they now" texts at the end of the final episode.

    Viki does not seem to have these removals.
    However, non-licensed streaming sites additionally have substantial behind the scenes and gag reel material after many of the episodes.
