LIST: Sites to Watch C-Drama for Free and Legally (2024)

Interested in watching Chinese dramas for free and legally? Below, I have compiled a list of sites and apps. Firstly, I want to tell you guys that I am from the Philippines, so it is worth noting that most of these video streaming platforms are mostly accessible in Southeast Asia (SEA) and its nearby Asian regions.

Now, let me recall some of my cherished Cdrama experiences. Chinese dramas, especially fantasy romances, are good. Start watching them, and you'll never stop. C-dramas are my passion. I still remember the charming duo of Huang Xiao Ming and Crystal Liu (as Dada) in Love of the Condor Heroes, the first Cdrama to air in the Philippines in 2006. I always watch Chinese TV shows because they have the best plots, costumes, romances, actors, visual effects, and music, from wuxia to rom-coms.

If you want to stream C-dramas but don't have a Netflix subscription or KissAsian is down, don't worry; there are several websites and mobile apps where you can watch your favorite Chinese drama series online for free and legally.

Watching Chinese dramas on legal CDrama sites brings some advantages. Of course, English subtitles (or Eng Sub, as most call it) are available. Further, you can select a video quality/resolution ranging from 240p to 1080p or download C-drama episodes for offline viewing, depending on the site or app. Meanwhile, the disadvantages include ad breaks and a lack of a comprehensive library of Chinese dramas.

In this post, you will see the top free Cdrama websites available in the Philippines. You can visit these websites and watch dramas for free, whether you're using a smartphone or a PC. Below is the list of free CDrama websites to watch legally in 2024. They are listed in no particular order.
