Hi, I am an avid fan of High as Sky Wide as Earth! I thank you for creating this forum! I was wondering if anyone knew if there is or will be a DVD collection of this show? I already purchased the soundtrack from yesasia.com and I looked for a DVD version of the show, but didn't find any. Maybe after the show is over? Am I correct that there are only 100 episodes?? I will be so sad when it's over. I have never seen a cast of people so perfect for the parts they play. This drama is so much better than any American show I've seen! I stopped watching the nonsense from Days of Our Lives- from now on, I will only watch Korean Dramas! Thank you to anyone that can give me any insight!   Susan |

This question always gets asked. The show is still in production in Korea. They are at about ep 125 there. The Daily Dramas generally run about 163 eps; sometimes more, sometimes fewer. Until recently, the Daily Dramas weren't offered for sale legitimately, but KBS-America has started offering whole sets, with English Subs. Just the thing if you have Five Hundred Dollars burning a hole in your pocket   . I've heard that you can also find Made-in-China versions on e-bay, but they're definitely Caveat Emptor, since they're first translated from Korean into Chinese, and then from Chinese into English, with decidedly mixed results . |

Sorry for the repeat question- I looked for it on here but didn't see it. I'm glad to see kbs-america offering dramas, but at that price- yikes! I guess I should start saving now and by the time they release this show, I should have enough..  In the mean time I'll just enjoy the soundtrack! |

Hi Susan! It's a common question, but since you're a newbie here, I think we can cut you some slack. Remember that if you buy a show like this (a daily drama) it won't come to you in a nice boxed set, like you'd get with a 16 or 20 episode drama series that has been released for mass sale. As I understand it, the DVD's you special-order from KBS are all burned onto ordinary blank discs when they receive your order, and they charge a set amount for each episode you decide to buy (which is why it's so shockingly expensive when you ask them for 160+ episodes on DVD). So, you might want to think about taping each day's episode, starting now, and then contacting KBS when the series ends, so you can only buy the episodes you've missed. It might end up saving you a LOT of money that way. |

there is a chance you can find it on ebay. but after drama has end. some people copy them while they are running and sell them on ebay. I have bought several different drama with english subtitles and no commerical on ebay. they charge under 100 dollras.

Yes, thank you, I'm new here and many of the posts confuse me! sorry but thank you for your patience! I appreciate all of your help! I didn't realize they don't come in boxed sets- that's kind of what I was hoping for.  Forgive me if this question has been asked already too (I'm sure it has) Does anyone know where I can find the english words for the soundtrack? I love the music, but I wish I knew what they were saying! The weekend is always hard......eagerly awaiting Monday's episode! Have a good one everyone!! Thanks again! Susan |
