Oh dear, writer-nim never took a science class. Instead of calling the protector Ghost, she should have been named Magnetosphere.

Yes! I was glancing through and nope, nope, not interested until - what, this is a Lee Soo-yeon’s production!!

It's very annoying. Are they also subbing it in English? Netflix has been around much longer, and I still don't like their sub. I don't see Disney+ doing any better.

Snowdrop is supposed to be available on Disney+ (Star) a week after it completes airing in Asia. So this may be the plan for their future releases. It doesn’t help here in US because we don’t have STAR as part of Disney+. Maybe they will add it to Hulu here.

Right!!!! Who ever made that decision is living under a rock. It’s like they are unaware that not only there are Koreans living on the other side of the world that would be interested in watching these kdramas, but also many many non-Koreans would be too. Do they even know about BTS, Blackpink, Kpop, Squid Game, Parasite...?? They are loosing so much money because most people are watching these kdramas illegally rather than subscribing or renewing their subscription.

I hope they will at least release them worldwide once they are done airing. I guess only time will tell since there has been no announcement so far.

As usual I am in total agreement with you. @oldawyer gave me excellent advice a couple of weeks ago in terms of temporary subscriptions, and Lee Soo-yeon would be enough to get me to pull the trigger temporarily (well, that and the fact that my wife loves Hamilton, which streams only on Disney--but do we really need to see that again? Its not like its a well done love confession scene in a Kdrama which reveals new depths of emotion every time its re-viewed!)

Not only are Seo Kang-joon and Kim Ah-joong two of the more attractive actors in Kdramas, I thought Seo Kang-joon was the highlight of an otherwise mundane romance When the Weather was Fine, and Kim Ah-joong was certainly someone I'd have rushed back from the Joseon period for in Live Up To Your Name! (Although, tbh, if I was a time-traveler, I'd rush back from the Joseon period for anyone, man or woman!)
As others have said, its hard to figure what Disney is thinking here. Obviously there must be some stats that have convinced them that the viewing market is more globally segmented than it is. I've long been annoyed with Netflix's strategy which is somewhat similar, although not quite as restrictive. I'd be interested to see what the costs would have been in releasing it to the U.S. vs. the potential revenue from new viewers--I bet they are drastically underestimating the latter.
Let's face, it though, Disney has for decades been an annoyingly conservative company in terms of handling content, especially given their cultural dominance. Look at the big hits on Disney + -- stale Marvel comics blockbusters, Star Wars rehashes, and their own animated features from decades ago. Netflix has at least been a little more daring!

Since I doubt Disney is going to change plans based on the loss of my 30 dollars or whatever, it looks like I'm (as usual) going to be dependent on Dramabeans for my vicarious experience of the show!

Disney+ premieres Snowdrop in the US on Feb 9th. This is 10 days after the finale. Netflix had similar deals on some of their Kdramas (JTBC) that it couldn’t air in US until the series had completed its run in South Korea. Disney may have a similar deal. So this may be the process of all their shows. They will air, we just have to wait.
