A Korean title can have several viewing routes
KBS 1TV, KBS 2TV and MBC TV are separate broadcaster references. A drama scheduled on television and an episode offered on demand can follow different release routines. A familiar poster or translated title does not, by itself, establish which version or episode is being opened.
Subtitles and original audio should remain separate playback choices. A Korean-language category can help discovery without guaranteeing a particular subtitle language for every programme. The track list for the selected version is the useful evidence.
Seoul time and an overseas announcement
Asia/Seoul supplies the dated clock rule below. Preserve the local calendar date when converting a programme from another market, particularly for an event announced for a North American evening.
