What sites have you tried? Dramafever and Viki have some.
Viki has more since they were sold to a J media group but a lot of the content requires paid access.
Of the “ scalper “ sites, that is, they aren’t licensed by the broadcasters and they steal the work of the subbers to profit from ads on their websites.
I would say myasiantv and drama.net have the biggest selection. I use ghostery and no script to kill any ads and or other junk they my want to try to run.
Of the scalper sites they seem to be the better ones, others can be rather shady.
If you are so inclined you can download the sub files from someone like d-addicts but then have to d/l the videos from torrents. I choose not to go that route. It can be challenging to find J programs subbed. They seem to have a different business model and are not as keen to export as much as the K are. The J seem to like to sell DVDs to their domestic audiences. Its a shame because I think the J have better writing in a lot of ways.
Have you seen the J drama Woman ? Awesome. Tear jerker for sure but the writing and acting blow away the garbage on US TV.
Thanks for your reply.
I’m a premium subscriber to both DramaFever and Viki, but was unaware of the J content on Viki. One of the reasons I use Viki less is that they seem to be slower on “subbing” than is DF so I’m not as familiar with what they have to offer.
Although I prefer using the Roku for content delivery, I also use Chromecast and stream my web content from the laptop to my TV and that’s a satisfactory workaround.
For anyone considering pulling the plug on cable, if you can live without live sports, there’s no shortage of content available to you if you have a decent internet connection.
Once you’ve experienced how good a la carte choice AND on-demand programming is, you’ll wonder how you ever tolerated watching TV on someone else’s schedule.
Between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, and the Asian entertainment providers being discussed here, there’s plenty of entertainment available for a lot less than what you’re currently paying to support CNN, MSNBC and all the other lefty cable channels you never watch.
All things considered, premium subscriptions to both sites I mentioned here costs me less than $10 per month, and combined, the Roku box and Chromecast stick cost less than $100, so it’s well worth it to me to get my content commercial free and in HD.
I cancelled my TV package with FIOS about 1 1/2 years ago and short of not being able to watch the Dodgers, haven’t missed it at all.
I prefer to avoid the “shadier” sites and stick with the mainstream providers.
