Looking at the problems facing the production company, i must admit that i, as an internet user, might be one of the contributing factor. yeah… i surely didn’t watch it on tv. lots of reasons. at least if i watch it on tv, the productions will get some money from the broadcasting station which in turn get their money from advertisers. i watch it free online. the production company didn’t get anything out of me. what is my contribution? just talking about it… it’s not enough to put money into pockets of people who works hard for it. i must say that i’m ashamed…

i’ll tell you why i didn’t like to watch it on tv. first, the subtitles are atrocious. most times, even the the dramas was dubbed in other language. really hate that! it’s been a few years already i did’t watch tv. can’t say i missed it. so i’m really grateful to all subbers who work hard for us to enjoy the drama. THANK YOU. i think they should get their pay also for the contribution of their time and efforts.

so it’s time for the production company, broadcasting stations, subbers groups to come up with a formula/infrastructure to get some income from internet viewer. hey.. if we want good quality drama (good acting, story lines, directors, subbings, HD pictures), isn’t it’s okay to contribute some? then we’ll be assured of good quality drama. there will be some for everyone. not only drama with mass appeal, that’s (sometimes) so mind numbing. my suggestion is subscription or affordable donation. let’s make it affordable to all people in the world. maybe can even have advertisers on the website to make it cheaper. e.g those multinational companies of the world.

dramabeans can provide the links to all the reputable website since this website is the most read about kdrama. i don’t want to pay to pirates! i want the money i pay to go to the people who works their butt off!

i believe that, that’s the way we can say THANK YOU for the good times we had for watching good drama or movies. We cannot expect free lunch every time, year in, year out. in the first place, are we willing to do works for free year in, year out ?for people who just sits in front of computers everyday and commenting/criticizing on other people who give everything they have to make the drama and movies great?

that’s my 2 cents worth… rambling that is. have a good and productive day JB.

Lemme guess. You don’t do your own taxes.

Ugh. I’m just getting over being sick, I really don’t need this kind of dishearting news. *sigh* I’m should really stop getting all excited nor having expectations for Kdramas anymore. My heart can’t take this. *cough cough sniff sniff*

I’m not sure how Chuno is going to work. Actors will have to take big paycuts. Even then, unless the drama does 20-ish numbers, this is going to hurt for KBS too.

“They must bring in adequate profits in order to make good dramas and to revitalize Hallyu.”

I think the problem with Hallyu is that producers have completely lost faith in the rom-com.

Wow, I learn something new. Thanks, JB!
