I am a big fan of Asian dramas and movies, there is just this something about their plot and cinematography that is very addicting to watch. I normally watch them on myasiantv and kissasian but recently I found a more convenient way to watch Asian dramas on smartphone or iPad, just download the Viu app.
So Viu is basically a streaming app for Asian movies, series, music, lifestyle, and variety shows from Korea, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan with English and Chinese subtitles. They also have a web page where you can also stream your favorite series.
Viu also has this premium monthly subscription program so you can enjoy exclusive privileges. In the Philippines, it costs about 129 pesos and it is billed on my Google Play account. But they actually have a 30-day free-trial for premium so be sure to check it out. You can always cancel your subscription any time you want.
Although I do have a premium account on Viu, I am still seeing ads but lesser compare to a free account I guess. Ads can't just really go away from the businesses, can they?
Viu is currently available on the Asian regions only, specifically Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Mongolia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman Bahrain, Egypt, and Jordan.
Verdict:
I like the convenience of the app but there is just too many ads that I can't feel the worthiness of the amount I paid for the premium account. Also, most of the premium episodes (latest episodes that you can't watch if you only have a free account) are available on the free streaming websites so that really lessens the value of the premium subscription. So I guess I would just cancel my subscription on the next month and just watch my favorite series and variety shows on myasiantv or kissasian.
Alright, that is all it for this post, I hope you did enjoy reading. If you have tried using the app, comment down below your experience, I would be so glad to know 'em! Thankies!
