Viu (Worldwide) Reviews

“I heard about Viu from friends who are fans of Korean dramas. They highly recommended it because of the vast selection of Asian shows and the availability of English subtitles.



I started using Viu around March 2023 and have been using it regularly for over a year now. It’s become my go-to app for binge-watching.



I use Viu almost every day—mostly in the evenings and weekends to catch up on new episodes and discover new series.

The variety of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino content is impressive. I love how episodes are updated quickly and that I can download them for offline viewing. The app layout is also clean and easy to navigate.

Occasionally, the ads can be repetitive if you're using the free version. Also, some older series take time to load subtitles.

If you're into K-Dramas, Asian thrillers, or variety shows, Viu is a must-have! It’s affordable, user-friendly, and constantly updated with fresh content.

“I first heard about Viu during the pandemic while I was looking for apps/websites to watch K-dramas and C-dramas

I started using Viu in 2020 and I've been using it for around 5 years

Due to school works I lessen the time I spent on watching but now that its my summer break I open the app at least thrice a week

It allows me to access diverse dramas and movies without having to do complicated steps. The subtitles are also one of the most accurate translation I've heard/seen.

In my region, the internet connection is not the best, hence it can get really hard to watch/download episodes, some ads are also long and has no skip button.

Viu is a great app for streaming dramas and movies, although it may take time to update new episodes, its worth it because they always deliver quality content.

“Karena suka nonton, dan banyak iklan bermunculan kalau nonton bisa pakai Viu

1 tahun lalu, waktu itu saat tidak sengaja sedang menscroll media sosail

Disaat ada waktu senggang, biar bisa metime setelah mengurus anak dan rumah tangga

Gampang buat daftarnya, bisa nonton kapan saja dan dimana saja

Tidak ada sama sekali yang saya tidak sukai dari Viu

Saat berkumpul dengan teman sesama penggemar menonton

“I discovered Viu through social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok, where I saw exciting clips and recommendations that piqued my interest.



I began using Viu during the pandemic in 2020 to alleviate boredom, and I've been enjoying its content ever since.

I use Viu regularly, especially during my leisure time, dedicating a few hours each week to catch up on my favorite shows

Viu's user-friendly interface and the ability to access a wide range of Asian dramas with accurate subtitles make it incredibly convenient for me to watch my favorite shows anytime.

One downside is that not all dramas are available on the platform, which can be disappointing when searching for specific titles.

If you're looking for a reliable and accessible platform to watch Asian dramas and variety shows, Viu offers a seamless streaming experience with a vast content library and user-friendly features.

“I got to know Viu through Facebook and TikTok, where I saw exciting clips and recommendations that caught my interest.

I started using it when the pandemic happened to lessen my boredom, and surprisingly, Viu helped me to discover new shows, enjoy quality content, and relieve stress during tough times.

I don't use Viu as much as before; however, I can say that every 2 months I use Viu to watch my favorite K-drama.

The most useful thing about Viu is that it is easy to watch or easy to access the drama you want to watch anytime.

What I dislike about Viu is that it has limited dramas. What I mean is, not all drama is available on this platform.

Yes, I do. If you want something to do while at leisure, you can watch drama on Viu.

“I got to know Viu when I was finding some applications where I could watch Kdramas.

I've started using it way back from Covid-19 pandemic, around 2020. Whenever I have free time, usually 2 hours dailly.

The most convenient Viu could provide for me is when most of the movies I want to watch were free. But sometimes when I download some videos it doesn't play.

This app offers good subtitles in many languages and even if no premium you could always watch your favorite Kdramas.

“I got to know viu through a friend of mine who is also a fan of Asian movies.

I`ve been using viu for a short period of time, an estimate of 3-4 weeks. I use viu often, mostly during my leisure time which is about 20 hours per week.

Most useful about Viu is the fact that i can easily access my choice of K-dramas. I do not dislike anything about viu, it serves it purpose really well.

Viu is an app for asian entertainment lovers. It offers a smooth, high quality streaming experience with a wide range of K-dramas, Thai series, and more. Subtitles are accurate, downloads are fast, and the interface is easy to use. Perfect for global fans!!!

“first found out about Viu through a friend who recommended it for Korean dramas. I was looking for a streaming platform with quick subtitle releases and a good collection of Asian content.

I started using Viu around late 2022, and I’ve been using it consistently for about two and a half years now, mostly to keep up with the latest Korean and Thai dramas. I use Viu about 3 to 4 times a week. During weekends, I tend to binge-watch multiple episodes or catch up on ongoing series.

The most useful feature of Viu is its fast subtitle update speed. I also appreciate the wide selection of Asian dramas and variety shows. The offline download option is a big plus when I want to watch during commutes or while traveling.

What I dislike about Viu is the app’s performance issues. It sometimes crashes unexpectedly or takes a long time to load. On a few occasions, it didn’t remember where I left off in an episode, which was frustrating. Also, there are too many ads for free users, and they tend to repeat the same ones over and over.

I’d recommend Viu to anyone who enjoys Asian content, especially K-dramas and variety shows. It’s great for keeping up with the latest episodes and has a solid selection of titles. However, I suggest getting the premium version for a smoother experience without ads and access to new episodes earlier.

“My sister and I love watching korean movies, one day I want to watch a korean movie in other platforms turns out they don't have it. So my sister suggested me to try VIU.

I think since 2020, 5 years, it started during covid. So funnn! I use Viu whenever I finished my work, after 6pm and then korean movie marathon!

Most useful about Viu is updated Drama and Movie, so many choices, and the user experience 10/10. hmm, I think i haven't met any dislikes tho. It's a fun app, not bias.

You guys have to try this app, if you like korean drama or movies, you should try it.

“Apps store, browsing or searching streaming apps, articles.

I've been using viu for about 2 years now, and I enjoyed exploring the vast collection of asian dramas. I use viu regularly, watching a few episodes of my favorite shows each day.

Its a great way to stay up to date with the latest asian dramas and variety shows! But one thing about I dislike viu is that some content is geo-restricted. However, the apo still offers a wide range of great content.

If you're looking for a platform with diverse Asian content, Viu is a great choice. With new episodes and shows added regularly, you'll always find something new to watch. Give it a try and discover your next favorite show!
