Over-thinker. Easily distracted by shiny things. Oooh. Shiny.
10. [+107, -12] It’s alright, the female lead needs a new hairstyle
You mean the hairstyle that is practical and totally fitting for her character, and that I specifically noticed because I was delighted that it was practical and totally fitting for her character?
FIGHT.
ME.
The Pied Piper had better live up to the hype. He’s the Big Bad but we haven’t seen his face yet, only his distorted voice, a mustachioed mouth whispering something apparently terrifying that we can’t hear, and a vague outline as someone walks away from his scared targets who then attempt to take their lives.
I just don’t want a Kylo Ren knock-off is all I’m sayin’.
Shin Ha Kyun’s smirks give me life.

(English version here)
Ahhhh, perfect timing, Anon, because I’m impatiently waiting for ep 3 to download and literally about five minutes ago did a thorough search and…
…nada.
There’s still hope, again, that Darksmurfsubs will pick it up because the Chinese subs are very prompt. Buuuut it could still take awhile if they do pick it up. There’s still no page on Dramafever (although there is a page for Memory, so for those of you bummed that Memory might not be picked up, have hope!). Nothing new on Viki (not that I was expecting). There are these, but I’m not sure how good they are as I haven’t bothered to test them yet.
So in DSS we shall pin our hope and trust. If anyone is interested in helping sub, even if it’s just to edit the English when *fingers crossed* the Chinese subs are translated, go there and check it out!
Ooooh, and in the time I was typing this up, the ep finished downloading, so I’ll see if the show is as good as the first two eps (the drastic dip in viewer ratings has me mildly concerned, but… Shin Ha Kyun!).
I made a request post on DSS. Chinese subs are already out for both eps so there’s a chance they might pick it up if DF continues to ignore it. (Since DSS translates from the Chinese.) It won’t be a quick turn around if they do pick it up, but at least the show might get some of the love it deserves.
[ONGOING] [K-DRAMA] [2016] Pied Piper 피리부는 사나이 – Subtitle Requests
The Anguish of the Pied Piper – possibly based on a true(ish) story. Possibly.
(Pssst – request it to be added to Dramafever and Viki!)

answered your question “I think what’s most disappointing to me (even as someone who regularly…”
i’m waiting for subtitles but otherwise i know plenty people waiting for this drama, especially from the korean side, who have jumped onto this Pied Piper bandwagon. the k-netizen comments on the pilot episode were nothing but good reviews.
Oh, I’m glad to hear that! I thought the pilot was excellent, too, but I also know my tastes aren’t exactly mainstream. Plus the whole “no international site is hosting it” made me think this show isn’t getting any love.
C’mon my fellow international fans! Let’s get this show some love and subs!
Here’s the Dramafever request page.
Here’s the Viki request page.
We’re talking on twitter about submitting a request to darksmurfsubs but I haven’t been able to format a request post yet (because late subs are better than nothing), but if someone else magically submits a request post in the meantime, I won’t complain.
If anyone else has suggestions, let me know!
I think what’s most disappointing to me (even as someone who regularly doesn’t use DF) is that there is absolutely no buzz about Pied Piper. I mean, I’m pretty much the only person in the tag…? Like… I guess this show is my baby or something…?
But it’s SHIN mother-freakin’ HA KYUN and it’s from the production team that brought y’all Liar Game and it’s on tvN and and and… I don’t understand what I’m missing that makes everyone else ignore this drama.
Is it because there isn’t an idol in it? Is it because all the leads are in their thirties or older? Is it because there’s no supernatural hijinks like body-swapping or aliens or ghosts?
I don’t get it. Honestly. The first episode was quality and I’m only expecting greater things to come from it once we set up the whole premise (and that ending has me impatient to download the next ep). I’m not expecting it to be a huge ratings monster like Signal, but I think it’ll have a respectable showing.
What sort of campaign do I have to lead to get this show the attention it deserves so it’ll get subbed somewhere so more people can watch it?
