    Subway has a huge ad presence in Korea and you’ll see a lot of shows where characters are eating it.

      Korea has a huge ad presence in general. Shows will be derailed for a 3 minute ad break as the characters all coo about some product without breaking character. As an American, they’re the only country that I think has capitalism worse than us. And that’s saying something.

        Oh, so you haven’t watched any Turkish TV yet? Every drama show must at least be a 2h episode, gives you not only an insane amount of commercial breaks but on top will randomly (in short intervals) inject an ad in the lower thirds. So even if any of these shows were to end up on the high seas, those ads are embedded. It’s so distracting, I cannot fathom how people put up with that.
