Best Websites To Watch Korean Dramas

I spend a good portion of my time watching both Korean dramas and variety/music shows than I would like to admit. Here are the sites I rely on for either raw videos or those with English subtitles. 

Raw Videos

Dailymotion.com
If you're in a rush to watch the latest variety/reality/competition shows that don't get subbed or you're just too impatient, it's worth trying to search the program with the Korean title and the date it aired (YYMMDD) on Dailymotion or Google. I watch SMTM5 on the site (<< linked the uploader).

Hanbeat.com (the site does update with subs when they are available)

For the most part I watch all dramas and shows raw. This site has been my go to site for shows such as Hidden Singer 3 and Superstar K6 (I have been really into these two music shows lately). The site is constantly updated every day. They link raw videos for the lastest Korean dramas, variety shows, news/documentaries, music programs and food related shows. By far this is my most frequently used site. All around it is an awesome site!!

Dramastyle.com

I used to use this site until I found Hanbeat. There is a large array of shows available on the site but once again all videos are raw. The best thing about the site is that it also links shows from other Asian countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

tvcast.naver.com

For Naver webramas

With English Subtitles


Fastdrama.se (HDFree)
A new favourite for the past few months! Love this site for both raw or subbed shows. The site isn't limited to only korean dramas, there are all different Asian dramas, even dubbed dramas (e.g. there are quite a few korean dramas dubbed in Cantonese). This site by far has the best variety!

From memory there are also subtitles in other languages aside from English like Chinese.

kshow123.com
Another good site for watching variety shows. When I am craving old episodes of Infinite Challenge, I go to this site (older episodes are usually down/broken on kshowonline). The variety is larger than kshowonline as the site also links raw videos.

Myasiantv.se
A new favourite, there is a variety of ASIAN dramas (and movies) as the website name suggests. So that includes Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese. Shows are raw then subbed. I'm not too sure of the subbing speed is decent, some days it's faster than others and some not. So be sure to search around when subbed episodes aren't up at the usual time.

kshowonline.com
Good for variety/reality tv shows - subbing speeds are dependent on how popular a series is. If you enjoy Infinite Challenge and Laws of Jungle, this site subs the show within day(s) once aired.

Ondramanice (Dramanice.to)
Good variety of old and new dramas/variety/movies. On the site, there is a mixture of subbed and raw video. There is 1080P option. 

Gooddrama.net

Great site with a large array of Korean dramas (and those from Japan/China/Taiwan etc)!

Dramacrazy.eu

I use to use this site a few years ago. I think this site went down a while back but is now up again - or was it a site with a similar name...?? There was a reason I stopped using it. Also a good site if you like anime.

Viki.com

Only for a select few shows do I use Viki; most of the shows I want to watch are not licensed in my country, so can't watch them (same goes for dramafever.com - but for that site I can't watch anything from it). The english translations are done quite fast on this site and it is optional to watch the videos with commentary from other viewers (the comments are pretty funny at times). 

Subscene.com

If you need softsubs, this site is AWESOME!! The subs come out really fast; approximately within 24 hours of a show airing, sometimes faster for more popular series.

  1. There are lots of sites but it comes down to content. Viki is great only if you have a paid subscription. Other korean dramasites like dramafever or mysoju
    are good too. But The one i currently use which has like taiwanese, japanese and also kdramas (which are he best lol) is called Dramanice you should give it a shot


    I do like your list but where can i watch the latest dramas as soon as they come out and subbed?

    1. If you're looking for asian dramas, I suggest myasiantv.se (subbed episodes are usually uploaded within 12-24hours of its airing - they do upload it raw before subbing if you can't wait lol). The site has the nicest user interface I've come across (my deciding factor).

      If you're into korean variety shows then kshowonline is great.

      Thanks for the suggestions, will check out those sites.

    tune.pk and dailymotion are the big sites for all type of drama uploading
