ugh I do not know what to think of this… there is already many streaming sites providing Korean content for US watcher, so another one in the mix… since the US streaming site is not even up and running I guess it will not be available for us outside of US. The only legal option for me in Europe is VIKI. But some content on Netflix in my region. They do not even show the on air dramas before those drama are finishing airing in Korea. I just hope this do not limit legal ways to watch dramas in Europe.
@silje sal,
I hope it leads to more options for watching Korean content in Europe, not fewer. Wouldn’t it be cool if it meant increased access to vintage classic Kdramas and landmark historical documentaries such as 500 YEARS JOSEON DYNASTY — with good subtitles — that haven’t been aired in decades.
Here’s a couple of articles on Content Wavve Corp. that were published in September. They refer to the OTT service in Korea. In the future, Wavve will be producing its own content, and that’s what it has agreed to make available to NBCUniversal. Perhaps in the future Wavve will be inking licensing deals with European streaming services.
