Hmm, if there's enough dissatisfaction with Cinflix, would there then be interest in setting up our CJKDramas.com rental service? Having our own, local rental service would help with the shipment speed but it doesn't help with subtitles at all. If we buy an overseas set to rent to our members right after the show has aired in Korea, then there's a chance it might have poor subs. If we wait to buy it from YesAsia.com, then members will have to wait for that edition to become available.
Think about it. There's capital involved to buy DVDs to rent out to everybody, licenses and corporation fees, accounting costs, and so forth. (Note to myself: This doesn't allow OST rentals. First sale doctrine doesn't cover music rentals.)

New CJKDramas.com Sponsor Cinflix—Korean DVD rentals
I've been checking out their offerings and I have a couple of comments. I have not signed up with them, so I haven't actually used their service. I've been looking for reviews on the net and have found a few. To sum them up, the reviews make the same point as pooka67 mentions. Poor subs/long turn over.
Also, in reading the descripitions, it looks like most korean films/dramas also come with chinese subs. This indicates they are probably from Hong Kong or Taiwanese companies. The subs are usually poor on the dvds being pressed from these countries. Also, many of these are region 0 (all), which indicates to me they might be bootlegs. Most legit Korean dramas and films released on Hong Kong dvds are region 3 now. I'm still looking for review and making some inquiries on other boards.

 Re: New CJKDramas.com Sponsor Cinflix—Korean DVD rentals
I've been renting from Cinflix for several months now and was very satisfied with their service until their website underwent a redesign. Since then, things have been in the toilet.
The first month they were having problems, they issued an apology for all the trouble, and after that, they seemed to be more on their feet, but for me, at least, the battle's not over yet.
I continued to receive movies sent out to me, always being careful to return them promptly, and then last week, The site began to say that my subscription was to expire on 8 October. I have a standard subscription where they just automatically suck money out of my credit card and it's not supposed to expire!
I tried everything I could think of to prevent the expiration, but it happened anyway. Now as I'm visiting the site, they recognize my e-mail and password, but when I "click here to rejoin" it won't give me the page required to do so. So essentially, Cinflix has locked out a good customer without giving me a way back in. I even tried to open another account, but no luck there either. I'm torn between needing a good source of film rentals and being fed up with the hassle that Cinflix has become for me.
And yes, I tried e-mail. There were a couple of disks that were sent out according to their records, but never got to me. I tried to notify them, but my e-mail was sent back several times because Cinflix's box was too full. So I can't even communicate with them.
If anyone can make any sense out of all this, I'd be glad to hear from them. But for now, I'm thinking that Cinflix sucks.
