Signal boost: Viki Pass sale

glymrI was asked to post this here as well as my own journal, so here it is!
Viki dot com is a website that offers access to a lot of translated Korean and Chinese shows. Guardian is on there, as are Granting You a Dreamlike Life, The Untamed, The Story of Ming Lan, Suddenly This Summer, Love O2O, and My True Friend (*sings* One of these things is not like the others...)
Nirvana in Fire is only available dubbed on the platform, not subtitled.
Most of these shows are available elsewhere, but the subtitles are pretty decent and it can be nice not having to hunt for playlists/episodes, etc. You can also get Viki as a channel on Roku TVs, etc.
Normally Viki has advertisements. If you watch it on a browser with a good ad blocker you won't see ads, but your show will be interrupted occasionally by a minute-long block of silence. You can get rid of the ads/interruptions by getting a subscription to Viki. An annual subscription is normally $50 per year, but they're having a sale right now so you can get one for $35 for the whole year. So if you've been thinking of subscribing and you can afford it, now is a good time! :) If you can't afford it, then I recommend Adblock Plus as a great ad blocker! :)
I have no idea how long the sale will last. The site says "Holiday Sale Starts Now!" and gives no indication whether there's a time limit, so it may well last beyond Cyber Monday.

Rewatchalong heads-up
Dec. 2nd, 2019 09:51 pmextrapenguinThe final 3 episodes will go up as follows:
38: Thu 5.12.
39: Mon 9.12.
40: Fri 13.12.
(Caveat: dates might be off by one should an excess of reality ensue on my end.)
I'll be off and traveling after that, but comments are always welcome on all the rewatchalong posts, no matter how late they might be. Happy December!
