Welcome to the weekly roundup post! What are you watching this week? What are you excited about?

Ooh, excited to see Roh Yoon-Seo in the trailer for The Frog. It is very violent?

And No Gain, No Love sounds great. I love Shin Min-A. (Where are you watching it? It's not on Netflix, is it?)

Also, that's great to hear about Only Murders. I've been putting off season 4 because season 3 was not really my thing.

It is very violent?

I wouldn't recommend it if you are sensitive to violence.

It's on Prime!

Same. I thought they would get another case and that I would understand everything major that's changed from context clues. The one thing I hated the most about s3, the "project", seems to be completely over and forgotten in the s4 premiere.

Good to know, thanks!

Oh, are there a lot of Kdramas on Prime? I notice there's hardly any on Apple TV (that I can find, anyway), but Apple TV seems to lean prestige-drama-ward, rather than being broadly indiscriminate like Netflix. ;-)

I can't even remember what the "project" was. I must have blanked it out. ;-p

No idea, to be honest. The only K-dramas I ever watched on there were No Gain, No Love, Marry My Husband, and My Man Is Cupid. They seem to have a couple of K-dramas but nothing that stands out to me, and it is hard to search for them (even if you search "k-drama prime", they show you tons of unrelated titles with several K-dramas missing that I know they have).

The best way is to figure out the genre code and search on the web, then add titles you're interested to your queue. Try:

https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/2638104 - K-Dramas (2638104)
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/67879 - Korean TV Shows (67879)
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/81594537 - K-Dramas Dubbed in English (81594537)

Is there something similar for Prime?

[misbegotten]

Oh good lord -- I don't know why my brain "helpfully" supplied Netflix instead of Prime. Let me check if I can find cheat codes for Prime.

[misbegotten]

Amazon URLs are a mess, but I still think it's easier to search for things in a web browser and add stuff to your queue. If you go to a title you already know, you can find the "International" subgenre. I think that's the best way to find all their Asian dramas, rather than trying to do so via Amazon's "Drama" category. From International you can choose a regional subcategory.

Thank you! That helps a lot! :D

ETA: This is what happens when I try to do comments without coffee. You were asking about Prime not Netflix. Sorry!

Thanks for that! ♥ Netflix is relentlessly upfront with its Kdramas, but that doesn't mean I'm seeing them all.
