Try youtube.com. Also, Singer has posted some information on our Generals Board regarding a rental service. Also, people at Soompi sometimes have very good info in these matters (but you have to register to see it). I don't know if the video is out yet. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to purchase, try Dim Sum DVDs. You'll have to google the address, but it MIGHT be dsdvds.com
A word of warning about Dim Sum. They are giving you translations into English from the Mandarin, so some of the translations are not that great. For instance, I got Winter Sonata there and it was totally excellent. I got Rose Life, and it was pretty good, except they used the Mandarin names so it was a bit confusing. But, for My Name is Kim Sam-soon, the translations into English are HORRIBLE. In fact, they are so bad, they add a whole extra level of hilarious enjoyment. Sort of a Babelfish-style translation. You can tell what the characters are saying pretty easily, but it reads like a 1950's Hollywood joke about "how Chinese people sound when they speak English" or one of those 1970s kung fu movies for the American market. For instance, they translate the titles, and the first episode is entitled something like, "Life is a Box of Candy, Flowers and Cake" However, THEY translated it, "life is a box of candy flowers and coke" I seriously momentarily thought it was a message about drugs. And when the characters have a fight, they come up with these convoluted "why not you be at company Christmas party I saw you not there you son of owner of company." LOL.
Oh, and Dim Sum does charge rather steep shipping, but they are coming from Hong Kong.

I checked Dim Sum and you tube, you tube had a few short clips and unless I missed it, I couldn't find it on Dim Sum.

Thank goodness I found this website. I started watching the series on KBS in LA while recuperating from an illness and fell in love. But I want the series on DVD with English subtitles--we're on episode, like, 145 here and I think I've only seen 45 or 50 of the episodes. I love Korean shows...don't know why people watch Telenovelas on the Spanish channels, when the Korean shows are so much more interesting. I started watching these shows with the historical drama about the 2 kingdoms of Koryo (I can't remember the title of the series) and the Korean nurses I work with found it very entertaining when I would talk about the show...if ANYONE hears about DVDs with English subtitles, let me know. I appreciate the YouTube posts, but, since they aren't subtitled, I feel I miss too much (like unsubtitled Bollywood...sometimes I just can't figure out why people are singing to cows). Thanks.

Okay, I checked the VC, they charge $20 to start off and $10 every 4 months, but they are only letting you borrow 20 episodes that they have it sounds like. I would have liked to see from the beginning.

Ah, I must have read it wrong. I found on the KBS website episodes 51-170, too bad there are no subtitles though.

I would have liked to see from the beginning. No, it is $20 to start and a ONE TIME charge of $10 after 4 months. That covers membership for at least 24 months. The only other cost is your cost to send the item back to me. About $2 or $3.

Has any of you tried that Philly VC??? I'm just wandering how it is since I'm very much interested in joining.....it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all compare to buying the actual dvd's.

:DI'd be willing to pay anything for a DVD of the whole series. I mean anything. If I'd known from the start how addicted I'd become to this drama I'd have started taping from the first episode. We are up to #137 in NYC on KBS. So I only have about 33 episodes left, if it does run to 170. Anyone out there who knows hot to get all the episodes be kind and let me know. I'm telling you anything!!!!
