VIKI STANDARD VS PLUS PLUS
Now, many of those dramas are back under the Kocowa/Viki Pass Plus subscription and are only available to Viki Pass Plus subscribers. Recently, Viki lost a lot of Korean dramas due to expired liscenses. What may make it worth the cost for me is the access it provides to older dramas. So for me the Viki Pass Plus is not worth it for new dramas.

As of today, there are new shows available at Kocowa that are not available at Viki. If Kocowa keeps it’s promise that all new shows will be available simultaneously at both Viki and Kocowa, then Viki Plus pass is also a savings of $19 over the Kocowa yearly pass. If you are satified with the Kocowa subbers, then you can just watch the fully subbed episodes at Kocowa, without having to wait as the Viki volunteer teams progress through. The only reason I see to go with Viki Plus for new shows at this point is for those people who have to have Viki subs access in the moment and can’t wait for 2 weeks. In that sense, they operate the same as Dramafever.

Kocowa website has professional subs and they upload the fully subbed episodes quickly. So far, they have posted the episodes with subs on the Kocowa Taste24 section of the site.

If I want to watch “right away” then I have free access via Kocowa website Taste24 option. It’s the same type of setup for “Manhole” and “Falsify/Distorted”. Episodes 5-16 are on a delayed access ranging from 5-16 days, depending on the episode. I checked on ‘Reunited Worlds” and I have access to episodes 1-4 right now. Right now, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money just for the new dramas as it looks like Viki negotiated a delayed liscense for Regular Viki Pass subscribers. Currently, the Kocowa on Viki is still a bit confusing. The extra $50 is not worth it for me at the moment since I can wait to see shows.

Right now, I’m just going to keep my Regular Viki Pass. What do you think? Will the Pass Plus be worth it? You want your variety shows and new content from KBS, SBS, and MBC, Viki’s got your platform. I know a ton of our readers rely on Viki to provide them with a legal way of watching dramas and this kind of screws them over. The biggest negative is that it truly sucks that they are limiting it to only the Americas. I also suspect that they will use some of Viki’s subbers which is always a plus in my book. But on an up note, it is slightly cheaper than having to get subscriptions to both Kocowa and Viki. So what does that mean to the regular drama addict? Pretty much, you will still be required to pay more to get all your drama content. But I still don’t understand why they could not have just made a straight over deal with Viki and had to put us through the stress of having to spell the name KOCOWA? It makes sense from Viki’s standpoint since they will want to stay relevant and have a trusted name in the international drama viewing community. Which makes me wonder why this even happened in the first place. It looks like the Taste24 feature has migrated over as well. Viki Pass Standard will remain $4.99/month. Viki Pass Plus is restricted to North, Central, and South America, whereas Viki Pass Standard will still be available worldwide. Pretty much it is Viki, but now with a larger price tag if you want to access all the Kocowa content.Īccording to Viki’s blog post, the new content that was going to be available only through Kocowa will now be available with the Viki Pass Plus, which will be $9.99/month or $99.99 for the entire year. Just a month in and that has all changed.

Pretty much it was all three of the main tv stations in Korea gathering together and cutting out the middle man to bring us drama content.

You might recall that this last month a new streaming site emerged called Kocowa. Come join me as I chat about the new plan and what that means for viewers. Which kind of makes me wonder why Kocowa was created in the first place. The saga continues! In a move that some saw coming, but I didn’t, Kocowa has partnered with Viki to offer their new content at a higher monthly price.
