I am still sweating out US availability of tvN’s CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE.
For the longest time tvN’s POONG 2 was almost the only upcoming kdrama on Viki’s Coming Soon” list.
I never saw BRAIN WORKS listed so it must have appeared today.
tvN’s MISSING: THE OTHER SIDE 2 has so far not become available on a legal stream in the US.
