Below are online vendors that sell Korean products and other things that you may be interested in. You can help support the KoreanWiz website by clicking on the banners and using links below to access the vendors. KoreanWiz does not have any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship with any of these vendors. However, if you use the banners/links on the KoreanWiz website to input your order, KoreanWiz will get a small commission from the vendor for any items you order (even if the items are not specifically mentioned on the KoreanWiz website). The commission will help KoreanWiz offset the costs of maintaining this website. You must remember to use the banners/links on the KoreanWiz website each time you visit the vendor to input or change your order; otherwise, the KoreanWiz website will not benefit from your order. There is no additional cost to you for helping the KoreanWiz website.
Remember when buying DVDs, make sure you have the correct DVD region code and that the drama is subtitled in English (or whatever other language you can read). The quality of English subtitles also varies, depending on which company produced the DVD. YA Entertainment tends to have the best quality English subtitles for the American audience. (If the name of company that produced the DVD is not disclosed online, don't be afraid to question the online vendor about the quality of the English subtitles.)
When buying VCDs, you need to check if English subtitles are available and what languages are used. The "language" info provided by vendors for the VCD indicates the languages spoken on the VCD. For example, if both Korean and Chinese are shown as the language, it is my experience that in addition to the original Korean language spoken by the actors, a Chinese translation will be dubbed in. To avoid hearing 2 voices simultaneously when the actor speaks -- the actor's voice plus the dubbed translation -- try selecting which language you want to hear by clicking the Audio button on your remote control. (The quality of English subtitles on VCDs usually is not as good as those available on DVDs produced in the U.S.)
Thanks in advance for supporting the KoreanWiz website! Your support is always greatly appreciated. |
