Must be a market for English subbed Korean movies, or why would TRS do this?

Just seems questionable, but then again there are a lot of Japanese live-action movies out there on our DVD retail shelves, that are not related to anime.

Good luck to them, hopefully they will have something interesting, and not the standard B movie stuff.

Yes, yes there is. Please bring it, 5 Points.

Exactly. There are so many other types of Asian live action films that it's just so frustrating to see the focus on exploitation schlock over here.

.


It would explain why Crunchyroll has an entire division devoted to Korean dramas.

Personally, I've always been confused why a company dealing in Japanese animation jumps to Korean drama (as opposed to Japanese drama?) - But I guess if there's a want.

Nothing wrong with it, just curious is'all.

If I may hazard an educated guess, I think J-dramas still cost prohibitively more than K-dramas to license. Korean licensors don't seem to have that inflated sense of self-worth re: the international market, imho (and general impression). Otherwise I'd totally welcome the J-drama onslaught as well, since I'm an equal opportunity consumer. I'm just guessing it's not gonna happen though, at least not any time soon...
