And they were smart enough to snag the name, KDrama. It's on the web and it's going to be/is on xbox (and roku, presumably). May even be on the new Amazon fireTV list of apps. They're in beta, I don't know if they've been around before but I signed up for it. I was able to get a 60-day free trial without giving them a credit card number because I happen to have registered for (but never really used) a crunchyroll account some time ago. You have to ask for the free trial, give them credit card OR crunchyroll info (and I think there's some other sites you can be a member of that makes it free), then it's $6.95 per month after that.

I created an account to test the site out. I used my Crunchyroll account but was still asked for a credit card if I wanted the free trial. I declined. As their name suggests, they only have K-Dramas available for viewing. They have an impressive selection for a newer site. You need to be a premium member to watch in HD. That's become the norm on most of these sites. Video quality seems OK even without HD. My adblocker blocks the built-in video ads which I'm happy about. They simulcast which means you can watch episodes on their site just as quickly as on DF or Viki. If you're willing to pay for premium, KDrama is cheaper than DF but Viki is cheaper than either of them. If you're only interested in K-Dramas though, KDrama seems like a good way to go.

Ah, I wonder why they didn't ask for my credit card. I honestly haven't had a chance to watch anything yet, but maybe they'll ask again when I do. Thanks for that info.
BTW, I am one of the "founding members" of DF, so my premium membership will stay at $30/yr no matter how long I keep it up. I just thought I'd try out KDrama--I suppose I should do that. LOL.

Are you a paid member at Crunchyroll? or perhaps were in the past? I only have a free account with CR and rarely use their site. BTW, I am one of the "founding members" of DF, so my premium membership will stay at $30/yr no matter how long I keep it up. I just thought I'd try out KDrama--I suppose I should do that. LOL. I forgot about that. If you're a founding member, then DF would be the cheaper option.

LOL @ fiona...I don't think my word carries much weight with them, but now I think of it, they DID bring back popout subtitle files after I expressed my displeasure that they took them away...power to the Bo... I never became a paid member at Crunchroll, knov1, because I hate the site. I just can't seem to sync with it. I stopped looking at it unless there's a drama I want to find for someone else. So I don't know why they let me slide...maybe it's because I'm a FOUNDING MEMBER at DF. Everyone is so impressed with that. LOL...

Bo, tell DF to give us the option to turn off the subtitles. Sometimes I want to try watching without the subtitles but I can't turn it off. Over at Viki I can... *pout*

What are we talking about MTR? What coup?
LOL @ fiona. I said I was a founding member--that only means I got in early enough so I didn't have to pay the higher price once they raised it. If you want, you can suggest to them that they make subtitles optional. Since I don't care whether or not they do that, I don't think I should ask them...I might need a different favor later...lol...

Sigh!!! just another bad joke ,about your role in DF were you ousted from them in a coup ? as in historical drama like AOW .. Sorry that one was way to obscure .
