Thanks

I am sorry to hear you experience so much difficulty. Availability is always a throw of the dice.
Both Viki and Kocowa report they are available in Spain. For cdramas I would be surprised if iQIYI and Youku were not available for subscriptions from Spain. Then there is Youtube which has loads of free material which may require some searching. I gave up and paid Youtube to go ad free so the viewing experience is much more enjoyable and I watch it on my tv via Roku.

Since I don’t plan on renewing my subscription to Kocowa it looks like as a US viewer I won’t be watching MARRY YOU.

Thanks Potato Chip for the reply. I just finished THE FIRST SHOT a few days ago and I loved it. I usually skip the final credits until the last episode and then watch/listen to the final credits. Interestingly when I finally watched/listed to the final credits and ost the ‘snow’ maze made sense. The ‘snow maze’ eventually evolved into a maze of white crystals (like crystal meth).
(Lol at least that is my interpretation. )
Great production.

Now I am not sure about Viki US getting a license. MARRY YOU is a Channel A production not one from the former Kocowa big 3: KBS, SBS, MBC. In the past my observation for licensing for big 3 dramas was; first Kocowa and then Viki.
If Kocowa is now licensing Channel A and JTBC dramas well Viki may just be out of luck.

The dreaded Noble Idiocy virus infected both boys during the ten year separation and they didn’t age a day.

Kocowa and free for the first 24 hours. On the Kocowa home page click on TASTE24HR. It may still be available. Even though I had cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago now I was still able to login with my old password etc.

Welcome back Nam Da-reum! I loved your (and Tang Jun-sang’s) performance in THE HISTORY OF US. I am disappointed that the story was only one episode.

Can someone explain what a ‘dog-slinger’ is in Korean society?

Please Kocowa, license the 2024 KBS Drama Special to Viki like you did in 2022 and 2023.
No. 1. THE HISTORY OF US. Airing Tuesday, Nov. 5. Welcome home Na Da-reum!

I just started THE FIRST SHOT and love the first 5 episodes.
Can someone clarify for me the literal title of this drama. Is it SNOW MAZE? (Like what appears at the end of each episode.) If it is SNOW MAZE why not just go with that?

It would have been nice if MBC had licensed BLACK OUT to Viki.

Now hopefully as a US viewer, the next step after Kocowa will be for DOUBT to appear on Viki US’s “Coming Soon” list. 5 days from episode one and it is still not listed at Viki US. (Nor Netflix US for that matter).

Over the years Viki has licensed many Channel A dramas such as the recent CINDERELLA AT 2AM so I am hopeful that MARRY YOU will appear on Viki’s “Coming Soon” list.

Thanks. Paramount+ is a no go for me so I guess it will pass me by.

As a US viewer will I wind up being a STRANGER to DONG JAE? TVING doesn’t seem to be in a rush to make this drama legally available to me.

Just watched episode one on Youtube. English subs seem good. Search Youtube for Tencent Video with english title: Brother.

BREWING LOVE is a great title improvement imho over the original title: DRUNKEN ROMANCE. Now I hope it becomes available on a legal stream in the US.

Episode 4 was a public service announcement on how NOT to respond to unwanted text messages. Mom was correct. The request for a transfer made by Joo-won made him look immature.
Joo-won’s former teammates Jang-hee and Ye-young are really getting annoying. It was good to see bro Si-won’s wife appear on the scene and the introduction of the mysterious painter. Maybe the annoying two former teammates will have a less prominent part in the story as it goes forward.

I don’t go dark so as a US viewer QUEEN WOO will be a pass along with BLACK OUT.
