@eobox91103 You are most welcome! Yes, they always come with English subtitles. International streaming sites will always require them. It may not be obvious, but the Korean wave is big in the West. President Obama made a reference of it during his visit to South Korea as it was made the top priority by the Korean government. South Korea has a dedicated goal to become the world’s leading exporter of popular culture.
Also to take note, compared to an evil country that keeps censoring and banning sensitive topics considered controversial; South Korea did the very opposite by banning the censorship laws. This move provided immense opportunities and independence to the young and vibrant generation of Korea to express newer and bolder ideas through cinema and music. I only wish that pornography was made legal too though. South Korea is one of the few countries that explicitly prohibits any form of pornography. Pornographic websites, books, writings, films, magazines, photographs or other materials of a pornographic nature are illegal in South Korea. You would rarely see a shirtless guy in their series or movies. But where all those kdrama-like porno scenes where only the genitals are not seen coming from? I still can't find those titles but you'll see them in porn sites.
Please do not shoot me even if I am a Western Capitalist Pig.
LOL! That is funny but yes the reality is that North Koreans (communist) will force you what they want you to do and South Koreans (capitalist) will pay you in return for a favour. It is only through China that someone from the North could escape to the South. Is that how you got there? what did you even do there? Hehe
I would recommend that you watch Parasite (2019) if you're new to Kdrama. This movie's outcome shocked me. It got 6 nominations and 4 Oscars.
In person though, I really do not want to speak near in front of a Korean. Their saliva goes splattering all over your face. Hahaha. Believe me. I've dealt with a lot of Koreans during the early 2000s when Koreans can no longer handle the poverty they were experiencing in their country's recession at that time. They came in droves to my country to start a new life. some where successful, some where not, some still thriving today for those who decided to stay permanently. Just to tell you the truth, South Korea has been eaten by the rich, if you're not among the rich; life is hard for you. Majority of Koreans can not afford a home which is depicted in a lot of their dramas - a home is always a dream for them.
Oh I got so talkative again. Hehe, enjoy.
