Nice to see DramaFever mentioned over here. They seem to be trying to branch out more into the Japanese TV entertainment of late, after picking up a bunch of South American telenovellas the last few years. I discovered them via Roku and there on my list of places that have peripheral connections to genre stuff, anime specific, that don't get a lot of mention (another being Crackle - that has a LOT of anime on it, even some rare dubbed stuff, and it doesn't get much mention at online anime sites).

No ANN has mentioned Dramafever several times:

ANN Article 1

ANN Article 2

ANN Article 3

ANN Article 4

ANN Article 5

Dramafever not long ago picked up 3 dramas from Hong Kong (I'm watching 2 of them), and more Taiwanese dramas. So they're branching out. They've already expand their service to Brazil.

I don't know, you'll have to watch it to find out.

Have you watched Taiwanese dramas before? I mean... they tend to be kinda low budget and more on the cheesy end of the spectrum, and that's not even considering this is a shonen (I think?) manga adaptation. Though I haven't seen this drama myself so maybe it's the exception to the rule (unlikely but still).

Also take into consideration that the female lead Park Shin Hye (she's a very popular Korean actress, though personally I don't think she's that great at her craft) doesn't speak Mandarin so she delivers her lines in Korean but is dubbed over by another actress. I find it terribly distracting when dramas do this (they did the same with the lead actress in the T-drama version of Absolute Boyfriend-- seriously, why not just get a Taiwanese actress?!) so that may be a sticking point for some people as well.
