Trailer for upcoming drama "Doctor Lawyer"

Sorry everyone, again, I couldn't find a subbed version of this trailer, but it does give you a decent flavor for what to expect from this show, I think.

So Ji Sub plays Han Yi Han, an elite surgeon whose career gets derailed when one of his patients dies on the operating table. He then makes a comeback 4 years later, as a lawyer specializing in medical litigation, with a mission to uncover the truth behind his patient's death, 4 years ago.

Shin Sung Rok and Im Soo Hyang co-star.

Show will air from 3 June to 23 July, on Fridays and Saturdays, on MBC. No word yet on which streaming platforms will carry this one, though I would expect that it will at least be on Kocowa, since it comes from a Big 3 network.

Yeah, I've got no problem with them grabbing kdrama market share; if they want to compete with the other streamers for licensing of shows, and making quality originals, more power to them. My beef is their geo-restriction policy, which makes absolutely zero sense to me. But no doubt my shallow little person brain cannot grasp the wise profundity of the business and marketing gods over at Disney HQ. (To date, Snowdrop is the only kdrama that has showed up on U.S. Disney+. No Rookie Cops or Soundtrack #1 (which have completed their runs), no Bloody Heart or Going to You at 493km per Hour (aka Love All Play); I just checked for all of those a couple minutes ago). I guess the U.S. kdrama audience is still negligible, or doesn't drive subscriptions--or enough of them to overcome increased(?) licensing fees? I dunno, I really don't.

With Disney+ (STAR) my end, they tend to release the dramas for viewing after a couple of episodes. Variety reported a month ago that there are 14.1M Subscription Video on Demand subscribers (SVOD) in South Korea. Kdramas etc capture 70% of the viewing consumption, while US content captures 14%. Netflix is No1 re SVOD, increasing its share at 36%. Disney+ has increased from 2% to 7% since its launch there. So, although Disney+ is fifth in terms of providing "premium content," their strategy seems to be paying off as they are quickly gaining market share.
