I know there are people out there who are looking for Asian dramas, especially if you're like me, stuck in a western country with no access to satellite tv! It took me ages to hunt down where to watch... I initially started off www.youtube.com which has quite a few dramas but I found it hard to hunt down the consecutive parts in each episode. Then a friend recommended www.veoh.com which I found it hard to even just search for the series I'm after :( and I also found that alot of the videos on veoh were 'raw' (ie not subbed) and so I couldn't watch it (apart from Chinese/Taiwanese shows). The best sites I found were www.asianrice.tv which has almost every drama that I wanted to watch and more! All were subbed in English too!! The only down side was that sometimes single episodes or videos had broken links. Most recent drama I watched with this problem was Voice (J-dorama) which was missing episode 8. However, I recently "moved" to www.dramacrazy.net which I find is the best because it is the fastest to put up the newest subbed videos. Here is where I watch Tokyo Dogs, Real Clothes and Liar Game 2 :) i also know that they have Shokojo Seira and Gyne updated/subbed very quickly. They also have the most reliable videos uploaded and I found episode 8 of Voice here!
It's not easy work to translate and sub these dramas and it's really a combined effort from so many people that we get to enjoy these dramas! I'm impressed and grateful that they are able to do it so quickly so that we can keep up with the latest episodes (and not wait for the dvd to come out with dodgy subtitling). Also, now that I've mentioned it, the level of subtitling is really great! I've been disappointed with some dvds that I've purchased with subtitles that really cannot make it....
I hope this review of where to watch Asian dramas is helpful and if you know of anywhere else that you would like to share, please add to the comments on this post :)
