    Personally, YouTube has always been my preferred site for watching videos. Only, when it comes to Korean dramas, I don't prefer YouTube. There are uploads of different Korean dramas on YouTube as well, but Viki is far more serious. I am able to get all episodes of almost every Korean drama on Viki easily with English subtitles. I personally like the layout of Viki as it is very convenient to obtain my desired Korean dramas. The other cause is that Viki is specially designed for Asian dramas, however YouTube is an Allrounder. It's likely for Viki to be better in that lawsuit. My taste goes for Viki over YouTube for Korean dramas, is that the same case with you?

    Personally, for short and entertaining videos, I really like Youtube as a platform. The amount of videos with unique and inspiring content is continually on the rise. Also, because it's such a large community, you'll always have someone else to share your opinions with. I think this makes Youtube very appealing.

    However, I agree with you on the point you made in relation to Korean dramas. Youtube is not a great streaming platform for Korean dramas. Firstly, there just aren't enough people who upload Korean dramas onto Youtube. Also, even on the rare occasion when they do appear, they're usually very bad quality videos or they're delayed. I don't know about you but I'm very picky about Korean dramas being delivered on time.

    I agree Viki is a lovely platform and has a great community. I really like its layout and I like how we, as viewers, can also contribute what we know. It has a very user-friendly interface and sometimes, when I have the time, I contribute to Chinese subtitles.

    Although Viki is great, I prefer watching dramas on Dramafire and MyAsianTv. They usually upload content which is high quality and on time.

    Nope, while I really love youtube, I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch Korean dramas there. I prefer watching them on Dramacool or Dramafire.
