70's Fashion subs
Thanks Creidesca for following up with that. I too was wondering what happened with that order. Also, I would like to comment on the copy of 70's Fashion I bought from Yesasia. Though the story is very good, as is the performances, etc., the subtitles are atrocious! Some of the worst I've seen yet. It's an expensive set so be prepared if you do buy this. Though we don't see much talk about this drama here, it was highly rated this summer in Korea, though a bit overshadowed by the success of Sam Soon. I just received my copy of Sam Soon, but haven't watched it yet as I need to finish up 70's Fashion.

Re: Kim Sam Soon
I received my Kim Sam Soon DVD set this past week. I ordered it from YesAsia and the Eng subs seem a lot better to me than what was shown locally here on TV. Of course, I don't speak Korean, but the English is excellent, they add subs for all the little unspoken things (i.e. the names of documents, KSS's address on the wall) and the subs, though white, are outlined in a darker color, making them readable over any background.
One thing I did notice, however, is that the picture content is somewhat reduced from what I saw on TV, or in various clips I've viewed around the net. For example, in an out take where Sam Sik walks back to his car and loses his footing, his entire body appears in the broadcast versions I saw; yet, in this YesAsia DVD, only about 1/3 of his body is shown (if that) and it wouldn't be evident that he slipped if I hadn't previously seen the clip elsewhere. I've watched four episodes from the DVD so far and am not aware of this presenting a problem, or compromising the content/intent of the original drama, however.
An aside, I also ordered an all-region GEIC DVD player from YesAsia. It is small (white—not black or silver, thank god), quiet, easy to operate, has all the features I like, and the picture quality is wonderful. I am very happy with both my DVD player and KSS set. (Now, to compare the subs with Fendercat's notes and I'm all set! And I can do karaoke on the DVD player, too! Where are my tambourines, maracas, and some of that joy juice that Mom used in her testing of Sam Sik!  )

borrow it for a few days. I could not believe how bad the subtitles
were on this dvd set. Even worst than some of the dvd sets put
out by PMP. I can't believe a $135 korean drama on dvd would have
english subtitles like this. I hope the word gets out and no one buys
this korean drama on dvd.

An additional note about the Sam Soon dvd: Mine came with a small mouse pad! Glad to hear about the good subs.

I just received a very nice letter from KBS letting me know about 18, 29 and the refund coming, and it includes the 10% offer. Very nice.
