For binge watchers out there, waking up after a 2-hour sleep is nothing new after binge watching an entire kdrama or a season of a TV series. As the number of people who binge watch increases comes a number of new platforms and websites where people could satisfy their film/kdrama/tv show obsessions anytime, anywhere, and at a more affordable price.
Here are some of the picks you can check out right now:

2. Netflix
It wasn’t too long ago since Netflix was launched in the Philippines, but it has already been a favorite in various Western countries even years before. Netflix features a long list of films, tv shows, documentaries, cartoons, and other content of different genre that would definitely fit the taste of every film buff out there.
Users may choose what kind of subscription they wish to avail (Basic: P350; Standard: P460; Premium: P550), and although these may differ from each other, what remains the same is that users get unlimited access to Netflix’ selection of contents.
3. HOOQ

A 30-day free trial period is available after you choose your subscription method (credit card/Globe or TM mobile load/Globe Tattoo). Get HOOQ’d and press play.

Viu is perfect for every kdrama lover out there as they have some of the latest and the most classic of Korean and Japanese dramas and variety shows.
