Two or three of them will get subbed. Of the three which are subbed, one will only be subbed for 8 episodes, leaving two episodes unfinished. But that's okay, because the two that are completely subbed will be the two you least wanted to see. If Viki licenses any of them, they'll be on the "coming soon" page until your children graduate from college.
The subbing on the first season is still unfinished (as far as I know) and it's been years now. I thought about learning the language so I could finish the last few unsubbed episodes. But no.
SATC is a celebration of women, and American women at that. This is not a drama that can be successfully ported to countries with little or no concept of women's sexual freedom. Korea can produce a drama about the friendship between four women--even four dynamic, beautiful, powerful women--and their love for a city (what, Seoul?), but it won't be about women's ownership of their own sexuality and their joyous expression of it. I mean, can you imagine Park Shin Hye with her famous open-eyed, rigid pecks as Samantha?
Two reasons: either DramaFever was not profitable (or profitable enough to outweigh whatever licensing difficulties DramaFever was encountering, such as Kocowa) or the parent company, Warner whatever, wants to repackage/reboot Asian and other programming or spin it off.
Or both.
There is a market for Asian programming. The issue is cutting through the licensing difficulties and designing a model that ensures profitability.
This drama (available now on Netflix) is better than the low ratings here suggest. It is not, however, for anyone who is in the mood for a light watch. It's frequently grim and triggering and there are several rape scenes that are brutal and not at all romanticized.
Show gets almost everything right, with only a few small missteps.
I started watching this in the afternoon, and had to finish it all in one sitting, which really annoyed my dog.
Remarkable for a lakorn, there are real kisses. Once the shock of watching a lakorn with skinship passes, it's somewhat unexciting and not even the very beautiful actors can energize this.
The best thing about it is the subbers who've made it available for us to watch. I love me some lakorn subbers.
We have to have a discussion about why a romantic relationship between a boy whose balls only dropped yesterday and a 25 year old woman is whacked, even if sex isn't involved until he's of legal age?
i can smell the comunity freaking out and im enjoying it but really i dont think age gap love is a crime itself,…
The age gap is, in fact, a crime itself.
If a sexual relationship occurred between individuals of any gender who were 14 and 25, respectively, and the 25 year old was caught, prosecuted, and convicted, the 25 year old would a) do prison time and b) be placed on a sex offender registry.
Or both.

I'm trying to be optimistic about this. Maybe this creates a new opportunity for a different company or something. But I'm so sad.
Seriously?

The "community" is legit "freaking out".
