The worst is almost upon me: DF has put all streaming of new shows on hiatus. The slouching beast of capitalism has set its sights on Kdrama. Ottoke.

    😭😭😭😭 Have they said how long the hiatus will last?

      No!!!! Just “postponed until a later date.” Which makes me really nervous.

        And “please be patient”. Apparently they aren’t familiar with their K-drama watchers. We know what time it aired in South Korea. We have no patience.

          I am not patient and went elsewhere to find the shows I want to watch.

            Yes, we have ways. 😉

            I decided to watch Bad Papa on Viki first, but if they haven’t got 100 Days Prince up by tonight, reprieve is over. I’m perfectly happy to pay to watch my shows legally, but if you won’t give me my shows? I do know where else to go.

    I’m about to cancel my Sub. I have heard some conflicting things. I also saw this on reddit today:

      I read that and it seems they don’t understand how Kdramas actually work. I think it’s time to drop DF so the powers that be understand they can’t mess with kdrama addicts.

        Netflix hasn’t clued in all the way yet either.

          They had the right idea with Mr. Sunshine, but that’s because they co-produced it and snapped up the distribution rights out of the gate.

          Netflix is sitting on a streaming gold mine if they can ink a deal with tvN, OCN, and/or JTBC for same-day or next day streaming.

        I really really hope this is just a temp thing, and they aren’t really trying to make me binge watch. Cause I can’t just take my money and go home — I have an annual subscription that just renewed last week! I mean . . . I could not renew next year, but that doesn’t send any type of message.

        Maybe I could ask for a refund . . .

          I would try. Tell them that you didn’t mean to review or talk to your bank of CC company and reject payment.

      I read that too but I’d be surprised if that has any bearing on the current absence of new dramas airing.

    I was happy because after a dry spell, DF was actually getting the license to quite a few dramas and then this happens. Sigh.

    I read that Warner is doing some direct streaming reorganization nightmare to begin next year. I think the issue is effecting DF with regards to licensing.
