Multiple Korean Originals Added To Disney+
The lines between Hulu and Disney+ continue to be blurred as this week, eight Korean Original series have now been made available to all Disney+ subscribers in the United States.

Over the past few years, Disney+ in the United States has slowly been getting more general entertainment content and since the launch of Hulu On Disney+, more and more content has been made available to subscribers.
Here’s a closer look at some of the new Korean Original series now available on Disney+:

This human mystery drama and fantasy romance follow a man who experiences the emotions of a strange woman.
Roger’s Take: For Disney+ subscribers who don’t have a Hulu subscription, this is a nice little bonus of additional content and I’m sure we’re going to see more content sliding over, especially as the Hulu hub is now available on Disney+ for all subscribers. Hopefully, eventually, Disney+ and Hulu will fully combine, so it ends this mixed up dual system that doesn’t seem necessary anymore.
