Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Maybe watch once with your subs to understand, then rewatch to pick up words (viki or netflix will have a few with both ko/en subs available).
- Looks free on Viki/Rakuten
- Viki is good, almost everything lands on viki sooner or later.
- I gradually discovered Viki and Iqiyi and Tencent and WeTV. And by and by, day by day, WHENEVER I can, I would watch Chinese/Taiwanese dramas.
- I gradually discovered Viki and Iqiyi and Tencent and WeTV. ... I discovered Language Reactor (for Netflix) and Swapbrain/PinyinTube for Viki, Iqiyi and youtube videos.
Cons
- I have Viki and iQiyi subscriptions, but there are tons on Youtube as well.
- My one criticism of viki which I have a sub for is that cdrama don't come with chinese subtitles along with english translation on the screen .
- Viki isn't to expensive for me, and it makes the whole experience more "fun" IMO because of comments on the screen in a non-distracting way and learning mode for some videos. A major thing I dislike is the absence of soft subs and what...

OP you should check out VIKI, it is a streaming platform focussing on asian dramas Korean, Japanese and Chinese as well. A lot on offer is actually fully free, and subtitles are done by enthusiasts, so sometimes they will even provide context on certain terminology, in my experience subtitles are more accurate than a netflix or dinsey+.
