That's what I'm saying, you've got a good year or more left to enjoy HBO.

Yep, definitely true. I considered the same, but the things I want to watch I probably will finish by the end of the current billing cycle. Anything beyond that would be ongoing series, but I don't really have ambitions to finish these if I know they'll turn into shit further down the line once the deal has been finalized. Same reason I don't really start investing time into a series if I already know it's going to have a crappy ending.

So they’ve had an influx of J-Dramas that have been coming over to us streaming lately. One in particular, I highly recommend even if you think that’s not your thing: Marry My Husband: Japan.

It was originally a web comic, and then a K-Drama. I haven’t watch the Korean one yet, but plan to. From what I’ve read overall people like the Japanese version better because the characters feel much more realistic.

I don’t want to give away the plot, and I recommend you going into it without knowing anything. But it’s definitely an interesting concept. It’s extremely well-acted.

Currently it’s on Amazon prime. There is an English dub, but I watched it in Japanese with subtitles so I can’t say how good the dub is. Also both k and j versions are there so look for the one with Takeru Satoh on the cover.

Eric Schrier, Disney’s head of international local originals, admits he was “a little hesitant” when he first heard the pitch to remake the hit FX series The Americans as The Koreans — a big-budget, local-language reimagining starring Lee Byung-hun and Han Ji-min as a pair of North Korean spies masquerading as a happily married couple in 1990s South Korea.

“I was the guy who developed The Americans,” says Schrier, who, before taking the top global TV job at Disney, served as president of FX Entertainment. “I’m still very close with Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, the originals’ creators, so I wasn’t so sure about this idea, because it’s all very near and dear to my heart.”

Schrier says he was eventually won over when he realized the unique storytelling potential that transposing The Americans’ premise to a Korean context might present. The idea to remake the show had come organically from Disney’s content relationships in Korea, rather than any top-down corporate mandate to exploit legacy IP from the studio’s libraries. It will be the company’s first local-language adaptation of one of its hit scripted series, and it will boast one of the largest budgets for Disney+’s Asian originals to date.
