Dubbed inThai

On WeTV the dub isn’t in the player’s settings bar like other platforms — it’s a separate version. Switch to it from the version menu under the show’s title on WeTV’s main page (Original Ver. / English Ver. / Thai Ver.). If the menu isn’t there or doesn’t work, search WeTV for the title directly — dubs are sometimes listed as their own shows.

First time on WeTV?

  1. Install WeTV from your app store, or just open wetv.vip in a browser — the website works in more places than the app is listed.
  2. You can watch free episodes without an account. Make one only when you want VIP.
  3. Open the show and check the subtitle button (speech-bubble icon) — set it to English. WeTV defaults to the language of your phone, which is not always English.
  4. VIP unlocks episodes early. It takes a normal overseas card; you do not need a Chinese phone number.
