So, mein #Paypal Account ist jetzt auch endlich Geschichte.
Verbliebene US-Links:
Meine #bank gibt #Visa Debit Karte aus, muss ich derweil mit Leben.
Und #Video & #tv sind eine Herausforderung, das Angebot von K-und C-Serien auf Scheibe bzw. in Mediatheken & Brit-Box etc. ist winzig & ich brauch Untertitel; habe mich schließlich für #Viki Pass entschieden; Subsidiary von Rakuten (Japan) wenn auch in Kalifornien gelistet; kostet im Jahr desselbe wie 2 Monate Netflix.

What do I need, to watch Viki on Linux?
I'd swear that Firefox used to work, but it's giving me a blank black screen now. At one time, I had NoScript and a list of which things needed to blocked and which needed to be permitted.
Happy K-Drama day to a great community here in the Fediverse!
May your shows use tropes wisely, use lighting, costuming, cinematography, & music to further the story, and continue to bring all the feels!

I agree with your recs.
- DNA Lover is one of the few I've dropped.
-Perfect Marriage Revenge is a great makjang
- A Good Day to be a Dog is OK. The story isn't great, but there are some cute moments & some decent romance.
- My Lovely Liar is good, good acting, nice characters & a pretty good story with a nice romance
#meteorgarden, the Chinese version, is the one I finished. I have the Thai version on my #viki watchlist #cdrama #boysbeforeflowers
So sad!
Viki is discontinuing their watchparty feature - which was excellent.
"We have an important update to share with you. We’ve made the decision to discontinue the Watch Party feature on December 4, 2024 from Viki.com.
This wasn’t an easy decision for us. We introduced Watch Party in 2020 to help fans stay connected during the pandemic, and we’re glad that so many of you have enjoyed using it. However, with shifting viewer habits and a decreased demand for Watch Parties, we will be focusing on new features and enhancements that align with evolving customer needs."
PSA for all Viki users: remember to OPT OUT of their new arbitration agreement terms within 30 days of the email they send. You will be bound by it if you do not opt-out now. Rakuten owns Viki plus a lot of other services. They're taking a page from Disney's playbook to stop people from suing with these infinite arbitration clauses: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/16/politics/arbitration-signing-away-rights-disney-plus-wrongful-death-lawsuit/index.html

Protect yourselves!
We should hope for any "super-intelligent AI" to be more benevolent than dictator...
Because otherwise we get shit like #VIKI from I, Robot or #Cortana from Halo 5...
Finally checking out some classic #Kdramas now that I am on #Viki. Finished #Goblin and #DescendantsOfTheSun. Threw in #LovelyRunner just for something more recent. Starting #FightForMyWay and #DreamHigh. Any recommendations?
That's super impressive!! I am not at that level yet.
I can recognize several words & a sentence or two. I wish #Viki would make it easier to change the language on subtitles - sometimes I'd like to just check if what I heard was right.
I just finished my summer Korean class last week & next session doesn't start until Sept, so I have to figure out ways to keep going too.
I hope they step up their subtitle game for Lovely Runner.
Netflix subs are terrible compared to Viki & they never do the songs - which are so important for this drama.
As I move away from #Netflix to other streaming options such as #Disney and #Viki, I feel drawn towards #Korean #VarietyShows. Just discovered #MyNameIsGabriel. 
@AllonsyMelissa @whoosh #Viki on IG has recently posted a selection of slow burn vs fast burn #kdrama romance.
While I don't agree with the labeling ("Something in the Rain" is extremely slow and Perfect Marriage Revenge isn't fast either when it comes to romance), I find the selection quite good.
Viki's translations are so much better that I'm very happy it's there & not on Netflix!
"As Lovely Runner airs, Netflix’s social media accounts have been sharing more posts featuring actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon. Netflix included clips from the actors’ various K-Dramas, for which they have distribution rights."

Love Viki's snappy comment to a comment on a Netflix post of Byeon Woo Seok's picture.
