WeTV Free episodes VIP for early access

Tencent's international service. Not the same catalogue as 腾讯视频 inside China.

All 30 episodes. WeTV also has a separate 26-episode Anniversary Version — a re-cut, not a dub — in the version menu under the title.

Episodes 1–2 free, then VIP (checked 29 Sep).

Subtitled inEnglish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish

Dubbed inEnglish

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 Peacock?

  1. Peacock is available in the United States only. There is no international tier.
  2. Chinese drama here is rare, and the point of it is that a title arrives complete rather than an episode at a time behind a paywall.

  2. Tubi is ad-supported — expect commercial breaks rather than a subscription fee.
  3. A show’s Details tab lists its subtitle languages, and the player’s captions button offers the same list. Tubi shows no audio choice; the Chinese dramas read here play in Mandarin only. A few older titles have English burned into the picture instead of a selectable track.

First time on Rakuten Viki?

  1. Open viki.com or install Viki. Availability is per-title and per-country, so a show can be here for you and missing for a friend abroad.
  2. Free viewing includes ads. Viki Pass removes them and unlocks some titles.
  3. Subtitles are volunteer-made — a brand-new episode may sit at partial coverage for a few hours before it reaches 100%.

Prime Video Subscription

Carries a thin slice of Chinese drama, and often as a purchase rather than as part of Prime.

30 episodes, complete.

Subtitled inEnglish

Dubbed inNot dubbed — original Mandarin audio.

Watch on Prime Video

First time on Prime Video?

  1. Search the English title. Chinese dramas on Prime are frequently listed under an alternate English name, and occasionally under a title that belongs to an entirely different film — check the cast before you buy.
  2. Read the price line carefully. A Chinese drama here is often buy-or-rent rather than included with a Prime subscription, which the storefront does not make obvious.
  3. Prime’s Chinese catalogue varies sharply between countries, more so than the rest of its library.
