Hey there, I am having (the expected) trouble in finding some things i want/need out here.

The most recent is scifi series boxsets.

Any where in seoul/seongnam/busan I can go to buy dvd. any shops with a decent (large) selection?
---- like back home in the UK (virgin megastore, hmv, our price, blockbuster) etc etc

p.s. yeah, theyre all over the net for free, and on the ultra fast korean download site, but, I actually want to pay for the originals, supporting the making of new shows, and , well to own the sets. besides at 60+ gig a series its too much.

2 years ago they were all over the sidewalks. Now the only place I still see them is in the Taehongno - Heywha area. Right in front of Krispy Kreme on the main sidewalk.

The Evans record/DVD store in COEX will order you any DVD you want. They had a good service when I used them a few years ago anyway.

You will pay full price though.

As soon as stuff goes retail you can download it anyway. unless it's for a gift or something. If you don't want to do that, try Yongsan.
