Watching and Downloading Korean Drama 101

So I am going to briefly write a guide to getting your Korean drama fix satisfied using the wonderful world wide web.

There are two major ways to viewing your latest and maybe even older Korean dramas.

The first way is what we call streaming ie [youtube.com] like sites, and I believe many of you have heard of this method before. But if your internet connection is too slow or feel that the quality of the video is lacking you can always opt for the second method. Well below are lists of sites that are great for streaming your Korean drama for free.

http://www.viikii.net/channels [Has subtitles on the go for many languages]

http://www.mysoju.com/ [Hard Coded subtitles are provided generally]

http://www.dramasub.com/ [RAW and subtitled]

http://dramabang.com/ [RAW episodes but very fast streaming from Chinese servers]

The second way to view Korean drama is to download the episode using some sort of P2P media. I will quickly toss the idea of clubbox.co.kr which is a popular Korean P2P media but I prefer using the good ol' torrenting method of P2P or maybe for some rapidshare like method. Below are lists of sites that are great for downloading your Korean drama for free.

So to use a torrent you need to get your self a torrent client like utorrent and to help with managing your downloads from sites like Megaupload and Rapidshare please use Jdownloader.

Finally, if you download RAW episodes meaning video rips that do not contain subtitles you should try and search through d-addicts for a fansubber who is working on the subtitle. Otherwise a good site to always look for the latest drama subtitle is http://withs2.com/ [WITHS2 does a great job for number of kdramas].

I hope this little guide has helped you on your way to getting your self addicted to Korean drama.
