Each volume of R3 Korean Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou comes with 2 discs. Why? Because the show has so much text in it that they created a completely different version for Korean broadcasting. Disc 1 is just that. It has no subtitles and only has Korean language track. Video appears to have been processed in composite domain, but it doesn't add too much cross-color distortion. On the other hand, it is noticeably lower resolution than the original version. Korean cast is reasonably good. Some voices are remarkably similar to that of Japanese cast.

Image1: Original vs. Korean broadcast version. The original was captured from either disc2 of this same volume or disc1 of R2 DVD. What? No, really. I'm not sure which one. It doesn't matter because they're 100% digitally bit-by-bit identical. More on that on disc2 review.
Image2: R2 comes in jewelcases. R3 comes in keepcases. Personally, I prefer jewelcase. If you get to my level of "ownership," keeping all these cases become a major problem. I can pack more than 2x jewelcases in the same amount of space.
Image3: Box. It's all squished in the corners because they didn't pack them well. Oh well. Shipping was pretty cheap, though I'm sure their $$$ price was more than Korean retail price.
