Free Episodes vs Paid Episodes Explained
Learn what a playable preview or locked episode means and how to check the source platform before paying.
Start with the episode selector on a title page. A play button identifies a preview available in our player. A lock sends you to that drama’s page at its source platform, where you can check availability for your region and account.
A lock does not tell you the price. The source app may offer a free preview, an account-based unlock, a paid episode, or a subscription. Before paying, check what the purchase unlocks, whether it renews, and whether the version has the audio or subtitles you want.
The number of previews shown here can differ from the full series length. If a title does not have a confirmed total, use the source page to check how many episodes are listed for that version.
For a concrete example, open Forsaken Lover, Rightful King from the linked title below and compare its episode selector with the source platform’s listing. The same check works when you discover a new title through our platform directory.
