Subbing thoughts and poll
Viikii doesn't seem to be contemporaneously subbing either Dong Yi, Personal Taste or Cinderella Unni (Prosecutor Princess is safe, however).
Now, all of these are going to be subbed by withs2 who are good and pretty regular with their subs. But that still means I have to wait for subs, even if not too long - there are some dramas I will venture to watch raw but wordy melodramas, snappy romcoms, or lengthy historicals are not them. Not to mention I only watch raws when I am TRULY obsessed (IRIS, Chuno, Silence etc) and I am not obsessed about any new dramas yet.
What viikii gives someone as short-attention-span as me is a guaranteed regularity. E.g. if a drama aired on Tuesday I know by Wednesday subs will be up. This isn't true with any proper, tradtional subbing group - you never know the sure date on which subs will be released and so unless I am truly obsessed, my attention wanders.
So, since I am going to have to wait anyway and lose the 'benefits' of steady contemporaneous watching, I am seriously considering actually shelving Personal Taste and Cinderella Unni until half the subs are out - that way I can binge. For Dong Yi I don't plan to wait till half the subs are out - the sheer number to watch would be intimidating. I'll wait till 4 or so eps are out instead.
After all, I am always marathonning a drama (this will be a good chance to catch up - I love marathonning so much), not to mention I am following Oh My Lady (haven't watched this week's eps yet), plan to follow Prosecutor Princess if it's good and (don't laugh) plan to give A Man Called God another chance. Not to mention I have a bazillion of Down with Love eps to catch up on.
I find myself being able to do it easily maybe because while I am interested in the 3 dramas mentioned, it's a normal level of interest, not an incipient obsession (like hell are you going to catch me waiting until Road N.1 or Daemul are half subbed in their entirety and I am going to gobble Athena and Bad Guy raws as fast as I can get them).
But still, it's fun to fandom so - POLL.
