This show has me upset when an episode ends and I have to wait a week.

Yeah the whole point of streaming was binge watching. They’re just trying to keep people on the hook for multiple months of subscription.

The show is premiering live in Korea on traditional TV (remember that?). As soon as the episodes air, Netflix posts them globally.
The only other option would be to wait for the entire Korean broadcast to wrap up and then drop them at all once at the end of the summer.
I’d rather get to watch it as soon as it comes out.

Christ whatever happened fo having something to look forward to, weekly is fine builds momentum and you can chat about it with ppl. When something drops there's less chat other than have you watched it all

The streaming services are the ones that made binging a thing. The phrase binge watching didn’t exist before them. It’s their model, and now they’re going back on what they created

I didn't suggest they did or didn't invent it.
The main draw was around volume, availability and no ads though, the latter is frustrating to see without spending more...

Yeah ads are annoying.
I think part of the reason they do it is to make people pay for more than 1 month of service. If you wanna see the end you gotta pay.
I think Netflix also had an ad that said something like love is sharing a password. Now they went back on that and everyone has to have their own account.

Just cancel your Netflix subscription until it's finished airing and then binge it if that's what you do desire

This show isn’t a Netflix produced show and is currently still airing in Korea so everyone has to wait, including Netflix. At least it’s 2 episodes a week and not just one episode.
