I’m reluctant to watch anything on Netflix that treats” more episodes to come” because of this. I only stayed to watch this show because there was literally nothing else on Netflix to watch. Now that I’m interested in this show, Netflix has ruined what I was looking forward to and this show is literally all in paying Netflix for. Ridiculously high price for only one interesting show. After this Alchemy Of Souls comes to a close at episode 20, I’m canceling my subscription to Netflix. I’m done.
I plan on switching to Viki Rakuten. Viki has such a large variety of shows with up to 60 episodes each of K, J, C dramas and more. There are free versions and paid versions of series movies, shows, and the list is exogenous large compared to Netflix. I’m guessing it’s about 500 digress shows or more in too many languages to count and they all come with subtitles! Beings I don’t speak any language other than English, I’m overwhelmingly excited to do the switch.
Maybe Netflix should team up with Viki Rakuten to keep their customers. Lol
I can’t wait for epsisode 17 to release.. Ugh, just please.. ????????
