I took some pictures of my copy (Last one is an additional cover for the members of the DVDPrime.com).

SolidBlu · 01-03-2012, 11:08 AM

Very nice to see this on Blu-ray. How did you find the quality of the disc?

Thanks!

It is not available anywhere else yet. I don't know when will it be available for pre-order at yesasia or k2dvd.

As for the quality of the disc, I think it is just average.

Is this real? How the hell did this end up under the radar?

crystal_sun · 01-03-2012, 02:24 PM

Is that a bootleg? It looks like someone custom made it since it covered the center circle...

No, this is genuine. DVD Prime (DP) is a Korean DVD/Blu-ray forum/community much like Blu-ray.com. They have commissioned series of Korean films for domestic Blu-ray release to their members. This is #3 in their release.

DP-001: Bedevilled
DP-002: Poetry
DP-003: April Snow

The good news is that all their releases have been followed by general release from the studio. DP releases differ from general release in having unique cover art and they include a short video clip of all the DP members that have pre-ordered the Blu-ray on the disc.

hope this will be out soon (officially)

General release date has been confirmed. It will be out on January 26.

Nice, have yesasia or k2dvd got the listing up yet?

crystal_sun · 01-13-2012, 08:51 PM

I come home and saw a box similar to k2dvd packaging. I was thinking "I have a pending ordering that is due next month" So...it was hard for me to read the "from" and I opened it up and look what I got....

My friend from SK surprised me with this one

I need to email and thank him for this.... I'm so

Now that's a good friend! Can't wait for this one.

Phesstve · 01-14-2012, 09:38 AM

Crystal_Sun, does that mean that this is an official release ?

crystal_sun · 01-14-2012, 01:39 PM

I sent him an email last night, asking about the release. He's such a great friend. It's even more special to get something like this when it involves in one of my favorite hobby.

I do know he's a member of DVDPrime.com site as that's where he got the rare CJ releases for me.

My friend responded back today and told me that my name is printed on the back cover and inside the movie. To my surprise, I saw my name scrolling down at the end of the credit.

Now, how cool is that? Wow....I feel so lucky! I'm waiting for a phone call from Son Ye Jin for a date now

xradman, I see your name too. is that you?
