I'd be keen to see more of this kind of thing on NZ television. Small Hot Chocolate: are there any other prominent Korean shows airing on NZ television or is the only one?
At the moment this is the only one I know that is airing in New Zealand television. The other option is if you have sky television, you can get KBS and MBC channels which basically shows everything. From news to entertainment shows. Most of the programmes in cable also have English subtitles as well.
