I haven't been watching anything for a while but i was so shocked when my brother asked me what was going on with DF. I thought it was just maintenance at first. I really thought we would have DF like... forever!!
Well at least we still have Viki...

Hi jewel, nice to hear from you again. Yeah Viki is still there; unfortunately it has very little as far as Korean historicals, but hopefully it has enough in other genres to keep people happy.
Oh and in one other development, the DramaFever presence on that VRV site is now gone.

Hi Jewel, Great to hear from you again.... hope all is well. Still haven't found a place to watch "Terius, Behind Me"-- slowly going into So Ji Sub withdrawal.....I'm trying to watch it on Asianen, but no matter what I do it keeps coming up saying I have my AdBlocker on!!! Trying very hard to be patient but I think it is a losing battle

Hi Ajk and Birdy,
Nice to hear from you too!!
Yeah, there were quite a few dramas at DF i had planned to watch that are not at Viki. So sad! I knew it was really true when they refunded me my partial membership of 2 dollars and some cents... boo hoo!!

Thanks, since "I can't find Terius behind me" anywhere to continue to watch it, maybe I'll go watch "I'm not a Robot".

I'm sorry to hear that. I never heard of this drama. Does it star So Ji Sub?
"I'm Not a Robot" is an excellent drama, if you're willing to go along with just a couple of snags. I really really enjoyed it.

Hmmm, I don't know...I heard the plot was awfully mechanical

ajk-- thanks, I needed a laugh today!
Jewel-- Yes, "Terius, Behind Me" stars So Ji Sub, which what attracted me to it, maybe not the best or fasted paced drama, but So Ji Sub-- had to watch it.

Jewel, thanks for the drama suggestion! After a long day at work, it is just the right amount of comic relief (and of course good looks) to put me in a better mood.

UPDATE: Up to episode 18-- shocking and sad episode.....Yoo Seung Ho is a really good actor. I looked him up on Wikipedia and it said that the press call him the "Little So Ji Sub" -- no wonder I like him! Jewel, thanks again for suggesting this, really, really, really and enjoying this.....

I received an email from KOCOWA today stating that their service was going to be offered on Comcast On Demand-- so I was hesitant, but calmly excited-- only to find out that I still have to PAY to view the dramas. Really? Comcast takes enough money from me with out making me pay more for another service...... So afraid to see the future of "television"...........

Hey bird! Hope you're doing well and surviving the winter. I really thought we'd get through it without a lot of trouble...made it through most of January and then blammo.
Not surprised at all to hear what you're reporting. Very much like Time Warner pouncing on DramaFever and sucking the life out of it to get the profitable parts. I don't know, it's all getting really ugly. Look at the Cubs--even the freaking Cubs won't let you see games without paying for them after this season. Somebody really needs to do something about the control that cable networks have over our choices.

Hi ajk-- doing well, surviving the winter, but not surviving the snow! (and the ICE!!!! ) Thanks for asking-- never owned a snow blower but after this winter I may have to look into one... About the Cubs-- that was a shocker, too. It is really getting out of control all around. Like I said before, I don't even mind if I have to watch commercials at KOCOWA, but when they have whole dramas locked so you can't see them, I have a real issue with that. I will say that when I contacted KOCOWA about a drama I was watching that suddenly became locked, they did reply to my email and some time later the episodes where back to being unlocked, but things like this do not make me trust them very much. Last spring, I had Comcast redo my package and my rate went down and yet this January it went back up (not as bad as it was, but still) and now they want to charge me for KOCOWA? It's the same price as if I did it with KOCOWA alone, so why even go thru Comcast? At the very least they should offer me a discount as a Comcast customer?
