RE: What series are you currently watching?
@Rotron Thank you very much for your very informative discussion. I much prefer those to very short answers like, "ask the help desk."
I appreciate the information on the ROK. I have not been there, so my knowledge is based on what I see in the media, as well hearing lies from the DPRK, and then "inverting" them. It is ironic that I have more experience with the North than with the South.
That said, my experience in the North was very carefully controlled. I was part of a sports delegation, although we had a couple of half-days of touring around Pyongyang. It was clear that our minders were showing us what they considered to be the "best" of places--stores filled with food items, broad avenues with good paving (but absent of cars), temples to the Great Leader and Dear Leader. In the mausoleum holding the remains of Kim-Il Sung and Kim-Jong Il, the two glass boxes holding their bodies are kept at a very low temperature. I referred to the the two guys as the "Kim-sicles" (after the frozen candy "Popsicle"), but I made sure that nobody official heard me say that.
I did not know about the pornography ban in ROK. That seems odd for a first-world country, although it is good that there is freedom to produce gay-themed drama. In the DPRK, producing pornography would probably be met by immediate execution.
Nevertheless, there are lots of gay guys (and lesbians too, I'm sure) in the DPRK. Sometimes we shared changing rooms with DPRK players, and we all know a watchful eye when we see one. But a couple of times I carelessly sent back a return glance, and I saw shame and fear on the face of the Korean guy. I felt so sad. As much as I would have enjoyed a good fuck with him, I think a long, caring hug would have been more helpful.

RE: Need more space for all that porn and video collection?
When size matters, this could be the answer. But, I always get two drives in case one fails...and disk drives do fail.

RE: What series are you currently watching?
@Rotron Thank you for the many recommendations. May I assume that if these series are on Netflix or Amazon Prime that they have English subtitles available? My Korean language skills are virtually non-existent.
I did spend a week in Korea some ten years ago (DPRK, not ROK), and was able to learn the following:
- Hello.
- Thank you very much.
- Where is the toilet?
- My spleen rejoices at the thought of the Great Leader.
- Please do not shoot me even if I am a Western Capitalist Pig.

RE: How to download Youtube videos?
I use Viddly YouTube Downloader ( https://viddly.net/eng12 ) which works really well. There's a very well-featured free version, and also a paid version (which I have) that does even more.
One nifty thing about it is that if you have it enabled as a Windows startup process, any time you copy a YouTube URL to the clipboard, it will automatically start and it's just one click to do the download. (This feature can be disabled.) There's also a Mac version, which probably has similar functionality.
