Perhaps with all of the K-Drama's I'm seeing around the world wide web, it's a sign to go watch them. ;)<br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland. :)Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107658697270291054.post-59958533009910627802016-06-29T19:25:02.092-05:002016-06-29T19:25:02.092-05:00Thanks so much!!

I totally agree that they would be cool books. <br /><br />Liar Game is my number one choice - what a fabulous story that would make. And I'd totally be good with some extra romance thrown in there. ;)<br /><br />Descendants of the Sun and Healer would also make cool books.

It...I love meeting Kdrama fans who also love books! It seriously makes my day :) i don't talk as much about kdramas on here as I'd like, since my blogmate doesn't share my obsession. But I am happy to run down what I use to watch kdramas!<br /><br />There is Viki and Dramafever that I have subscriptions to, but they also offer up free options if you don't mind watching ads. The subscriptions aren't expensive. Dramafever has a lot of options, I use their $50 for the whole year plan. Viki, I believe, is $3.99 a month. It might be $4.99 now, I'm not sure. But of course, they do both offer free options with ads and increased waiting periods for certain dramas after they air.<br /><br />I like Viki better than Dramafever. Viki is faster at subbing, and their subtitles are way more accurate to what is being said. I've found that Dramafever waters their subtitles down to make it easier to understand for people new to dramas. Which is fine, that doesn't bug me! Til I rewatch something on Viki and understand a joke I missed the first time I watched it on Dramafever :p <br /><br />If you haven't already heard of it, I recommend checking out My Drama List. It's the goodreads for dramas. It's an excellent resource for reading reviews, keeping track of the dramas you have watched and talking with fellow drama watchers. And of course, for finding new dramas to check out! If you create a profile there, I'd love it if you added me :) <br /><br />Oh! Viki and Dramafever both have apps for a lot of streaming devices. You can get Viki on Roku, Xbox 360, Samsung Smart TVs and the new Apple TV. Dramafever is on Roku, PS3 and 4, Amazon Fire, the new Apple TV, Samsung Smart TVs and is coming soon to the XBox 360 as well :) you can also cast from a smart phone or computer to the chrome cast from their apps or from an iPhone to the old Apple TVs :) <br /><br />Here are some links - <br />www.viki.com<br /><br />www.dramafever.com<br /><br />To my MDL profile so you can check the site out and add me if you join up ;) - http://mydramalist.com/profile/allyson<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101942925410298669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107658697270291054.post-13849567485429493872016-06-28T18:51:50.984-05:002016-06-28T18:51:50.984-05:00THANK YOU!

This may be a stupid question as I haven't read your about page but how do you access the K Dramas you watch? I know HULU and Netflix have a few but is there anywhere else?

Or, if you have an old apple TV or a google chromecast, you can stream from your smart phone (or computer) to your TV.

There are a lot of places you can watch Kdramas. <a href="https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/67879?bc=83" rel="nofollow">Netflix</a> has a couple of them, though their selection isn't of the best kdramas. They did, however, recently get a bunch of Kdrama miniseries that might be a quick introduction to Kdramas if you want something that moves very quickly. You might have to be logged into your Netflix account to see the link above with the Kdrama selection they have! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.hulu.com/tv/genres/korean-drama" rel="nofollow">Hulu</a> also has a ton of kdramas. They have all of the ones I have listed above except for Liar Game and Love Me If You Dare. (<a href="http://www.hulu.com/healer" rel="nofollow">Healer</a>, <a href="http://www.hulu.com/oh-my-ghostess" rel="nofollow">Oh My Ghostess</a>, and <a href="http://www.hulu.com/descendants-of-the-sun" rel="nofollow">Descendants of the Sun.</a>) Again, you might have to be logged in for any of those links to take you to their hulu pages. <br /><br />The other two places that I subscribe to for Kdramas (they also have free options for watching as well, if you don't mind a couple of ads!) are <a href="https://www.viki.com/" rel="nofollow">Viki</a> and <a href="https://www.dramafever.com/" rel="nofollow">Dramafever</a>. Viki has <a href="https://www.viki.com/tv/29266c-love-me-if-you-dare?q=love%20me" rel="nofollow">Love Me If You Dare</a> and <a href="https://www.viki.com/tv/25478c-liar-game?q=liar%20game" rel="nofollow">Liar Game</a>, Dramafever does not. Both of these can also be added to many streaming devices, such as Roku, Xbox 360, and the new Apple TV that lets you add apps. <br /><br />A good drama to start with would be The Master's Sun. It was the first drama for a lot of my book friends, and all of them got seriously hooked from watching it. It has some scary ghosts in the beginning, but they get less scary as it goes on. You can find it on <a href="http://www.hulu.com/the-masters-sun" rel="nofollow">Hulu</a>, <a href="https://www.dramafever.com/drama/4305/The_Master%2527s_Sun/" rel="nofollow">Dramafever</a> and <a href="https://www.viki.com/tv/11915c-masters-sun" rel="nofollow">Viki</a>. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101942925410298669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107658697270291054.post-13902447255643145422016-06-28T10:47:16.547-05:002016-06-28T10:47:16.547-05:00Such fun lists!
