Review summary

The reviews repeatedly cite price and billing as major downsides (high costs, coin charges, duplicate charges, auto-renew issues). Technical problems (lag, freezes, crashes) and ads are common complaints. A subset dislikes dubbed content in favor of original language. On the plus side, there’s praise for a varied, Asian-focused library and engaging short-form stories, with some users noting free initial access. Overall, value hinges on content variety and quality when the app runs smoothly, but pricing, billing reliability, performance, and ads are the dominant pain points.

Pros

Wide variety of dramas, especially Asian titles.
Short-form episodes make it easy to binge and stay engaged.
Well-crafted, engaging stories when the app works.
Some content is available for free initially (first ten episodes).

Cons

Too expensive with weekly/annual subscriptions and coin-per-episode pricing.
Billing issues including multiple charges and renewal problems; difficulty canceling.
Frequent technical problems: lagging, freezing, and app crashes.
Excessive ads and interruptions during viewing.
Dubbing/original-language issues reduce appeal for some users (preference for non-dubbed content).

2026-08-23	TM*****	I originally paid for the subscription through the app so when I canceled through the app, I thought my subscription was over. Then I got charged again the next week. The app still shows my subscription is cancelled but the web shows I still have a subscription. I tried to cancel it on there and the button was not clickable. I reached out to customer service with pics a week ago about cancelling it and still it’s not resolved. I’m posting this so other people don’t get taken advantage of.

2026-08-23	Li*****	The membership is outrageously overpriced at $19.99 per week or even at the discounted price of $12.99 per week, when it’s offered. The stories are pretty good although sometimes things don’t make sense. There is a real issue with continuity. Accents come and go, mispronounced words from one scene to the next, wounds and blood come and go every other minute. The characters are fully dressed in all the sex scenes and are showering and bathing in towels or underwear. Even characters in hospital beds and giving birth are fully dressed. A little tweaking and more careful editing would be a big improvement.

2026-08-23	Ta*****	Any review that has misspellings, fake. The premise is great. The cost is ludicrous. $19.99/week to really funnel you to the annual cost. Predatory.

2026-08-23	Ma*****	I love the stories, but I paid for the whole thing and that’s what makes me mad because I cannot watch all of it don’t get me wrong. It’s really good, but I am so mad that I can’t watch all of it and what I paid for. Didn’t let me watch all of it.

2026-08-23	Ma*****	Using AI for your actors has lead to uncanny and off putting shorts that run me off from the product itself. Please can you go back to using real actors!

2026-08-23	Mi*****	I like the Drama’s that are life’s ups & downs. Not the fantasies, violence, or futuristic. To each their own, though. I just move on to the next one.

2026-08-23	Su*****	This is really expensive and can’t even mirror to watch on a bigger screen. Let alone login to your iPad to watch. Only allows 1 device. 164 dollars total and can’t really enjoy.
