I love Viki, it’s worth the price. For all of those complaining about the slow subtitles it’s because they’re done by volunteers - plus Viki’s subs are more correct than Netflix’s subtitles. The only reason I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 is because I wish Korean variety shows were available in the UK. I have Netflix as well, but I’ll still continue paying for Viki since they offer more boy love options.

People seem to complain a lot about Viki because you have to "Pay" for most of the shows/movies on there but it cost less than Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. If you like Asian dramas then it's worth getting the pass to watch as many as you want. I haven't had to contact them because everything has been great from my side, I do mostly watch on my computer/laptop and rarely on my phone so maybe there is an issue there? I don't find it's slow at all unless I've been on the same tab for hours but that happens on any website. I just refresh the page and it's back to streaming normally.When you buy a year subscription I'm sure it says that it's non-refundable so people should take more care into reading the agreement/contract because if you look over it then you're at fault as the company has stated their conditions.Especially if you're buying a year, please read the conditions carefully.They even state that plans will differ depending on your region but that's common for every other website as well. There's different laws and licenses for each country and it's unfair to expect them to have everything unlocked everywhere. No website can do that.Waiting for subs can be annoying but there's a separate team of subbers for each tv show/movie so it's not Viki themselves who are doing it but subbers who are doing it for the benefit for others and are doing it for free. But honestly, you can't always expect foreign shows to have subtitles right away, it's unnecessary and privileged. If you want to know everything they're saying then learn the language. Viki does have an international audience so maybe they should handle the subtitles on their videos but since the fans are willing to do it, why would they add that expense? They are a business trying to make as much profit as possible just like every other company out there.I'm happy with my experience and would totally recommend it. I believe the subbing teams work hard and people don't have to subtitle videos but they do so I'm very appreciative of that.

I really used Viki because of the "learn mode" more than anything - and as a result was a huge fan. But for quite a while now the Korean has been seriously out of sync - and we're not talking about a few days. It's EXTREMELY easy to watch almost any korean drama on the internet, including those over 10 years old, and as a result of the out of sync learn mode I'm now drifting away. A shame, as I regarded it as quite innovative, but if they're that lax over something I regard as quite important, I can watch subtitled Korean dramas anywhere.

Just like what everybody here is saying, I've been a standard viki subscriber for 3 yrs, and last 2 days ago ads started appearing while watching The Wolf only to find out they want me to switch to viki plus !!! Viki has been my go to destressors for a long time especially now that Covid19 is here. I am an avid fan chinese wuxia films/tv series, and some korean Historical Movies. It now cost 9.95 per month but hey the enjoyment and excitement I got from watching good shows are priceless !!!This keeps my sanity intact during these trying times...now am waiting for the premiere of Legend Of Fei with Wang Yibo ! Thanks Viki !!

Viki offers a great/convenient service, but the quality of their drama is not perfect. Perhaps it’s the way some series were aired? I find playback quality does not even reach HD(or is stretched), let alone 4K. As far as non paying customers go, Viki is a premium app/service and not favourable for free users. Please, invest the 5$ a month, your time is worth more than a subscription fee. No free websites are worth the quality and your time.

I really do love Viki! There are some amazing dramas both Korean, Japanese and Chinese all with Subtitles. If you are a paid member (very cheap price) you get to watch in great quality and with no ads at all. I have only once ever had a server issue but this happens with all companies. I really do recommend and the small investment is well worth it.

Actually, I really like this app.But recently that means form 2 months maybe it started showing more ads. Before it only shows one ad for episode but now at least 10 ads for episode . I actually request to reduce the ads.

Viki has been excellent. Only reason why it's a 4 star instead of 5 is all the good shows I wanted to watch is not shown in my region. I live in Guam near all the asian countries, Korea, Philippines, Japan, etc., so why can't I get it. They should find a way to expand to these areas where so many koreans live here too.

I have the free Rakuten Viki app on our Firestick. I don't mind the commercials as a rule but when am watching the shows and have to reset 30 times in 2 hour time block, it gets a little frustrating! The Smith & Wesson commercials continuously freeze upBut the show selection is pretty good...
