What’s on Your Amazon Prime K-Drama Watch List?

I compared my Amazon Prime Kdrama watch list to watch lists published by others and it looks like we are all on the same wavelength.

Marie Claire is a site primarily aimed at a female audience. But of course, all visitors are welcome. MC shares a lot of content about celebrity news, entertainment, etc., and like PopGeeks, has writers who specifically contribute content about Korean drama.

Why wouldn’t they? Everybody knows that Korean entertainment is taking over the globe. As a Kdrama contributor for PopGeeks (since January 2023), I often contrast and compare my reviews with other sites that publish similar content to make sure I am keeping up!

In previous years, most of the Korean dramas on my watch list were movies and TV series found on Netflix, Viki, and Tubi TV. But for Christmas 2023, I gifted myself with subscriptions to Disney Plus/Hulu, and Amazon Prime. The lineup for Kdramas scheduled for release in 2024 was too tempting to pass up.

All of these streaming platforms are in fierce competition and the gifted subscriptions were needed because the K-dramas on my watch list were not on the other platforms where I regularly find Korean content to watch.

OR … the Kdramas I wanted to watch were For Rent on one platform but included with the subscription on the other platforms.

OR … the Korean dramas were For Rent on several streaming platforms, but one platform offered me credit for being a loyal subscriber. So obviously I took the credit.

For example, one of my accounts showed credits for being a loyal subscriber, and that allowed me to watch two Korean movies For Free which were available For Rent. Videos rent anywhere from $.99 to $4.99. You would pay that in addition to the monthly subscription payment. So when you get credits it’s like “Christmas all year round!” 🎄🎄

Isn’t it wonderful that the competition between the streaming platforms is so fierce? It’s like you go to the platform and say: “OK! Impress me!” LOL.

But I digressed. Back to Marie Claire.
