Spanner in the works: I Know I Love You

Hi everyone,

Remember how I said that I'm picking c-drama I Know I Love You to replace Twinkling Watermelon, here on Patreon?

Well, it looks like we've run into a problem.

Basically, the playlist that I found, on Drama Box English, that had better subs, has taken down E8, which they'd just uploaded yesterday, I think.

And, a quick investigation leads me to conclude that they're likely going to stop at E7, because their sister channel, Drama Box Exclusive, has made E8 onwards members-only.

I'm guessing that Drama Box English is hoping to redirect viewers to Drama Box Exclusive, to continue watching the show under their members-only arrangement.

I would be willing to pay the $3 (I think?) that it costs to be a member, BUT, the subs on Drama Box Exclusive look to be completely machine translated, and I think that would be really rough-going, and therefore not fair, for non-Mandarin speakers.

And, Viki is still looking for a channel manager right now, for this show, so it doesn't look like watching it on Viki is going to be a viable option anytime soon.

..Which means that I think I need to look for a different show to cover, instead of I Know I Love You.

I'm really disappointed, because I've watched the first 4 eps, and really like it so far.

I'm not sure what show to pick as a replacement, but it seems that those of you who checked out Marry My Husband (hi Trent!) like it way more than expected, so.. maybe I should give that a look, even though I've also picked the very similarly-themed Perfect Marriage Revenge as a Patreon show..?

Other show suggestions are welcome too, of course.

Really sorry about this, everyone. 😭

Hey ABV.. Learjet's just shared intel that Viki's getting ready to air the first 4 eps on 5 Jan, so.. the date for you to check it out might not be so far off, after all? I think I'll KIV the show for a later time though, so that we'll be assured of quality subs and availability, when we do go back to it. I've had Agency as a potential show on my mental backups list, but it's true that most folks would prefer more recent or current shows for Patreon coverage. So I'll prioritize checking out some of the more recent or current titles, before potentially falling back on something like Agency. 😊

WHAT. I.. 🫨 Well.. That's great, I think? πŸ˜… I'm scrambling to get a replacement for IKILY now, but.. if Viki is picking it up, I could pick IKILY as a Patreon show when things are more settled, and we are more secure in the knowledge that we have a stable source of subs? So that could still work out? Coz Viki subbing speeds can be erratic, so sticking with IKILY now, still seems like a risky idea, if they're just starting work on IKILY..

I see Viki is now showing I Know I Love You as airing the first 4 episodes in 2 days (5 Jan)....to throw a further spanner in the works.

@KFG Hello. Total bummer about I Know I Love You. I was looking forward to picking it up next week but looks like the wait will be much longer. Not sure if the show you cover has to be something that is currently airing or concluded recently because I just thought of Agency as something that would be great. Lee Bo Young is fantastic in this and it was one of my favourite titles from 2023. You may have tried it before. I am not sure about that. As for currently airing shows, Tell Me That You Love Me seems to have an interesting premise but I have not tried it out yet. Another title that I was going to check out soon was A Bloody Lucky Day. Heard good things about that. Just a few different options for you to consider.
