## Review summary

Users praise the content variety (dramas and donghua) and note some titles aren’t on other platforms. However, recurring issues drive dissatisfaction: misleading pricing and unexpected charges, VIP paywalls requiring repeated payments, subtitle and language problems, a clunky UX with poor search and no resume tracking, and intermittent technical/login problems. These billing and accessibility frustrations outweigh the positives for many reviewers.

### Pros

- Wide variety of dramas and donghua anime that users enjoy
- Some shows are not available on other platforms
- Generally usable on AppleTV 4K with long-term use by some users

### Cons

- Pricing/promotions are misleading and charges can exceed what is shown
- VIP/paywall gating and repeated payments or access issues after subscribing
- Subtitles and language support problems (missing translations, readability issues, subtitles switching)
- Poor user experience: weak search, inability to resume watching, no auto-play, and controls that are hard to find
- Technical stability issues like long loading times, screen dimming, and login/recovery problems
