    I watched the first episode of Dramaworld an exclusive Viki original series of 10 short episodes currently showing (they are up to episode 8). It is about an American girl, hooked on K-dramas to the extent they have taken over her life. Bam, she is transported into her favorite drama. You can tell it is not a very slick production, but is a cute concept.

    I've been looking forward to this after reading the discussions online. Probably will wait till it's all up so I don't have a long wait between episodes. DH and I have started Daebak, and I'm treadmilling to Thumping Spike.

    Have you seen the youtube clips of Conan O'Brian in S.Korea? I watched One More Happy Ending and enjoyed his cameo.

    No, I didn't see it, now I will. I'm enjoying Refresh Man, but hate waiting for the next episode. I started Another Oh Hae Young. Starts cute. Too soon to tell. I'm back on the bike so I will be watching 1/2 hour a day.

    I haven't gotten further than Episode 1 for Dramaworld. Sometimes Viki doesn't come through well at the gym. Too slow I guess.

    I'm watching two dramas. Taiwanese "Refresh Man" and "Korean Oh Hae Young." Both in real time. "Refresh..." is only on once a week, but at least "...Oh Hae Young" is twice. Really into both of them. As with so many though, it took me some time to get into them.

    If you want some good laughs though, "Another Oh Hae Young" really has me laughing out loud at times.

    Because I haven't subscribed to viki yet I can't get Dramaworld on my roku, but I can watch it on my computer and it's without commercials. It's been fun. I don't think of it as an introduction to kdramas because I doubt that a non-kdrama fan would get all the memes.

    I recommended Splash Splash Love today to former folkdancer that use to watch Korean dramas on PBS decades ago. I can't imagine what they were showing at that time. She said it was historical - "you know, there was a king and someone else wanted the throne, and there was sword play..." and that pretty much describes them all!

    I finished "Thumping Spike" yesterday - my sister said it needed to be watched to see 'Killer Kim' from "Two Weeks" in a sweet role. I was considering what to start watching tonight on the treadmill and I will take up your suggestion of "Another Oh Hae Young".

    Just had the largest gathering of kdrama fans in Cecil County! My sister, DH,folkdance friend and I had dinner and watched the entire Dramaworld. There is something extra nice when a group is laughing and shouting at the show together!
