Have you tried "Strong Woman Dong Bong-Soon"? It is on my "to-watch" list. I've seen the first episode and found it pretty funny.
From the ones that are currently airing, then one I'm enjoying the most is "Circle". It is sci-fi mixed with suspense. It's really interesting so far!
Also, Viki launched its "Learn Mode" and it works with some k-dramas. It is far from perfect but they are open to receive feedback.
By the way, I've always wanted to ask you: How did you choose which words to put into your Anki vocabulary deck? (I've started to study with it in a particular way, and I'm curious about your word choices). And really: Thanks a lot for sharing your deck!
I haven't seen any of the dramas you mention, I'm thinking of watching Rebel and My Father is Strange. By the way, I finished Chief Kim and I'm happy to report that the ending was nice. This is the first drama without any romance in it that I've enjoyed so much. I'm quite picky when it comes to comedies but this one was really good. There were lots of nice side characters, nice character development, and in the battle of good guys versus the bad guys (i.e. the corrupt chairman and his posse), the good guys won like seven times and the bad guys only once.
I don't watch shows on Viki, I prefer more professional subtitles. I get my shows here.
As for transcripts, I have many that I've collected through the years, but I've barely looked at them. At first they were just too difficult. Now I just don't feel like it.
About the Anki vocabulary deck, my sources have been everything you can imagine except perhaps speaking with Koreans. I started building it 5 years ago and my first words were from TTMIK because that was my primary resource. I've also taken words from other internet resources, textbooks, dramas, songs, podcasts, word lists, and even random words from the dictionary. I just added whatever seemed useful and I still keep doing it. Currently I've set my goal to 8000 words but I suspect I'll go up to 10,000 and more. I want to make my deck the best word list for Korean.
