Well, I have zero interest in watching BOF again, but there are definitely some older titles on here worth checking out (Sandglass, LEE JUNG-JAE!!! and Samsooki's Star in My Heart). The appeal to this is being able to watch them on the big screen TV in all their crystal clear glory...I won't know how to act!

Definitely great news!

Oh my, I did not even think that these titles were available on netflix! I looked through the foreign movie section but didn't notice a foreign TV section. I'll definitely be adding many of these to my queue.

Thanks for the heads up javabeans!

I have searched Netflix for Kdrama and never found these titles--will definitely look again. Will spread the word.

No thanks i can just watch online without going broke

The comments before me are too true! The Korean dramas are very hard to find in Netflix through their search engine for some reason...I only recently (a few months back) by the member "lists" and realized they carried them. On top of that, there's often a "long wait" on the titles...as if they only have a handful of circulating copies!!

BUT I did get onto Netflix and put BOF in my queue just now anyway to support the kdrama movement (but like one of the comments before mine, I have no interest in seeing it again). I do actually have a few older titles in my queue anyway as it is...but I have to admit, I dont like waiting for Netflix to send them one by one...I'm kinda a lucky one because I live in Seattle and we the most awesome independent video store (Scarecrow Video) and they carry most all kdramas available on dvd for rental and I can borrow the box set at a flat rental cost of $11. Ok, sorry, I'm rambing. =) Thanks Javabeans for the news.

I was going to discontinue my Netflix subscription since I have no time watching them(because of all the current dramas going on on-line, I have so many dramas downloaded on my hard drive for my own keep for future as well).But hey, I'm all for them to carry K-drama selections, I went ahead and put bunch of them on my queue, I might even not watch them and just send them back to keep them circulating... Anyhow, I have a job, I can do $12.00/ a month for a while, or is it better to donate that money to Sierra club? Hummm...

I put a few in my queue - thanks,

I just joined Netflix to support the globalization of korean dramas!

Yup, the main problem is the search engine. Unless you have a specific drama in mind, you get a whole slew of other titles when doing a general search. It will be hard to get new viewers on board if this continues.

And, yes, I'm a collector rather than a 'renter', but I'll do it for a bit so that kdramas can get more exposure.

i would love 2. do we hav to RENT it??wens its practically free online

Actually... my LIBRARY has many of these (god, I love living in urban areas) but I hope them luck! Netflix is actually quite exciting.

I didn't know they had k dramas on netflix wonderful news my queque is coin to grow!!!

I have gotten K-drama from Netflicks andI really would love for them to continue to carry them, so I add BOF to my list. Thank you for the complete list of Drama's.

I am one of those kdrama and kmovie collectors who hasn't gotten to start watching many of them. I have 18 of the titles listed, mostly YA versions. I don't have a Netflix account so I don't think I'll be of any help. but I'll spread the word around.

If you haven't seen it yet, MY LITTLE BRIDE is a ver enjoyable movie and a must see. If I'm not mistaken, it's the only movie YA has in its catalog.

Subtitles by wonderful internet fansub groups are usually way better quality and more accurate than subs done "professionally" when it comes to asian dramas, especially korean ones. I would like to be excited about this, but I just can't quite get there.

Can we post that letter on our Facebook page?

Well, I mean a link to this page that has the letter. Facebook doesn't allow long posts.

I prefer my kdramas the oldfashioned way, on tv via dvds. I have a very large collection and enjoy rewatching my favourites so netflix would not be my preferred choice of viewing.

I'm also probably one of the few left with a tube tv. Old habits die hard, not to mention the hole in the wallet.

damn and i just canceled my netflix account too! didn't know these k-movies/dramas existed!

JB, thank you for posting this.

FYI, there are MANY K-drama titles on Netflix, including most of the ones we can find on Dramafever.

JB-- would you let YA or anyone else who contacts you know that they need to push Netflix for better search results?

The problem with NetFlix is that there is no search category for Korean dramas. You have to plug in titles individually. Some kind souls HAVE created lists, but they are inadequate. When you do searches for Korean movies -- most of the dramas do NOT show up. One evening I played with the search options, and found that in most searches -- including latest releases, foreign releases, and even Korean language searches, most of the Korean dramas available were not showing up.

Maybe KBS (and others) can ask for a subset within Korean language searches? Kind of the way the Hindi language seems to offer a subcategory for Bollywood -- or it did.

Also, if you search using an actor's name -- good luck. They spell the names differently from project to project!

ALSO, also, I have found that when I have added K-dramas and even many K-movies to my queue, I have had to wait several days to even to be able to get it. So be patient -- don't take the movies off your queue; just plan ahead.

The violent, blood-soaked horror flicks from Asia:: No wait time on those. Sigh.

No thanks. I hate BoF.

er does Netflix service the Great White North? aka Canada? If so, save me a seat on the bandwagon!

note to self...subscribe netflix..thans JB...

Aww...my first reaction was to say "oh! of course, I'd do it if I were in the US"~~but, then again, there is a reason why kdramas have so many fans and yet they're suffering on netflix. With downloads available, online streaming, and DVDs available to own, I guess it's reasonable that there's not much left over for just renting.

Of course, I do not want the online vids to stop! Since I'm abroad, it's the only way I can enjoy them in English. ^^

There are tons of foreigners in Korea (they might admit it one day...), and most women I know enjoy kdramas a LOT. Yet, I've had real trouble finding kdrama dvds that have English subtitles. In the US, Spanish or French is a given option on any dvd. I would buy them if I saw some with English subtitling, within Korea. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough?

Did not even know they now have Kdrama in Netflix. Will check it out.

I went and added it on my list :)

Netflix has City Hall! I am so excited!!!

I have a netflix...problem is, I have an account on Dramafever.com where they're also showing BOF, Dae Jang Geum, Yi San, My Lovely Samsoon etc. in perfect quality, free, licensed and with good subs. So I can't see myself waiting for netflix when I can get them anytime I want from dramafever. Also, DF has more (and better) title selections and they have all the biggest k drama hits. I think I'll have to pass on this...

P.S. JB, I think this is where I got the invitation to join Dramafever, thanks a lot! =)

R they only in the US?

I live in the UK...would love to rent kdrama here....any1 know where i can online?

thanks

When I had Netflix before I've rented several Korean drama series. It was a good way to watch korean drama. But now-a-days I watch everything online, which is free and way faster than waiting for the series to be release. I already don't have enough time watching all the series on my must-watch list.

As for BOF, as much as I love the story, I just couldn't finish the Korean version. I only made it halfway through and completely lost interests. I could not stand the lead actress. So I won't be watching it anymore or renting this series.

I'm going crazy here. I got all excited and went there and could not even find my Girl. It is so difficult to find these dramas!

it was from samsooki that i heard about netflix having kdrama dvds. i thought how convenient especially that where i'm from, there's only one asian store, albeit a small one and selling only oriental condiments etc.

i share the same sentiment with the others that it takes a lot of patience to look for one kdrama title in netflix. search engine is useless moreso with a live person. the korean dvd they see in their computer are those post WWII korean war movies.

finally found All About Eve and i subscribed for the 3 discs at a time but they only sent Ep1 disc and were trying to push the english dvds which is not in my agenda. so anti-climatic. patiently waited for the next episode discs but it never came. if this is how they operate by sending only 1 kdrama disc and the others they will push an english movie, it will take me a year to finish 16 or so episodes of a kdrama, might as well buy the whole boxset. after a month waiting for the next AAE discs, i cancelled my subscription.

BoF I probably won't be watching again but White Tower, definitely. Just gotta figure out how to get on netflix :)

I had rented Kdramas thru Netfix and it's perfect, a lot of people may think why rent it if you can watch it for free online, but the experience is diferent, I mean you can watch it and listen it i a MUCH better quality. I may not rent BBF again but I'll defenitelly keep renting other tittles...it worth it :)

i know it's kind of round of bout but if you have a netflix account then search for "east of eden" and click on it you can see on the left side below all the disks of the series and info that there are a bunch of top 10 lists that it has been featured on. click on those and it will bring up a bunch of kdrama titles that netflix carries...

haha! wow! this must be a big-time site to get sent messages like these. :D

Seriously, I can't find My Girl and I really want to watch it. Anyone else have the same problem? Is there somehere I can find the link?

Oh! Never knew Netflix carried Kdrama. Though I would never watch BOF again (cringe), the other older titles looks promising. Thanks, guess I'll spread the word to my friends.

@ 41: I cannot find My Girl either. I did a search for: My Girl Lee Da-Hae. For a moment I got all super excited about being able to see Lee Junki again...

@lola #41

Yes, I'm having the same problem too. So frustrating!

Wow, I wish I had Netflix now! I used to be really into getting dramas any way I could, but now I just want to be able to pop a DVD in.

No BOF for me but I might watch Hong Sang Soo's Turning Gate again.

Isn't that Binnie in Netflix's picture for the City Hall video?

umm im confused...i have netflix and i've only seen like a few of those titles in that giant list. do they seriously have all of those?? because i've searched for some of those ones before and not found anything....weeird

If I'm gonna support Korean dramas and join Netflix, I'd have better taste than that. Rent Boys Over Flowers? (they must be kidding)
