### 1/5 — 広告が120秒

*2026-07-06*

広告を視聴するとエピソードが解放される仕様なのですが、その広告が一個当たり120秒もあります。長すぎ。普通30秒だろ。

### 2/5 — Just downloaded and it froze halfway through an episode

*2026-06-23*

And it won’t play at all now. Feeling a little bit burnt.

### 1/5 — Too pricey, not enough incentives

*2026-06-17*

The cost to continue watching is too pricey, especially for a weekly or monthly subscription. $15-$30 weekly - monthly is absolutely ridiculous, considering this is not a major platform like Netflix or Disney+ and even they don’t charge 30 for a basic tier subscription.. The cost for more coins and the limit to how many ads is also equally ridiculous and outrageous. Lower the pricing or make a subscription tier where you might need to pay $5 for unlimited but have to watch some ads . The app also glitches and sends you back to episodes you have already purchased, making your coins go to waste. This app is worse than dramabox. I’ll stick to free stuff on youtube 🙄.

### 2/5 — あなたの遺伝子がほしい　他

*2026-06-14*

内容が面白く演技が上手い素敵な俳優が多くいるからダウンロードしたのにダウンロードした次の日から一日5話みることができない。　どこにといあわせたらいいかわからない。CMみても　見たカウントはされるのにコインがたまらない　これじゃ進んでみるどころか1日1話　1ストーリー　しかみれない。
　どうしたらいいんでしょうね。課金しても同じようなバグがおきそうでこわくてできないし　同じような方いますか？？？😭

### 5/5 — Good but pricy

*2026-06-12*

I like the things on here~ shows are great but costly to watch~

### 1/5 — 作品はいいけど。

*2026-06-11*

作品はいいです。
ですが、1分のshort動画に月額最低2500円〜。
そして無課金でも1分以上の広告を見て1分の動画を見る。これを5回繰り返す。
正直これするくらいなら、アマプラやFOD、Huluなどほかの素敵なドラマに出会って使うはずだった2500円や広告分の時間をそこに費やした方が断然時間やお金の使い方はいい気がしました。

見る人やお金を出す人に寄り添ったシステムになればとても評価は上がると思います。

### 1/5 — 俳優さんたちの演技力は良かったけど内容が...監督、脚本は何も考えていないってことがわかりました！

*2026-04-13*

「絶対コロしたいパパ」を見ました。
俳優さんたちの演技力は申し分なくドラマも楽しめたのですが、国家資格について何も調べずにこのドラマを制作したんだな〜と思って冷めました。
まず歯科衛生士は高卒では就くことが出来ません。
専門学校・短大・大学のいずれかで学び、国家試験に合格して学校を卒業しなければ歯科衛生士と名乗ることは出来ません。高卒なのであれば歯科助手になります。
美容師は年2回国家試験がありますが、卒業見込み（春季）で受けたのであれば「また落ちた〜」と言うことはないですし、秋季で受験して落ちたのであれば学校は卒業しているのに無職の状態になるので、最初の話で言っていた学費の話は辻褄が合わないことになります。（専門学校で留年したとすればモラハラパパが許すとは思えません笑）
誤った情報でドラマを制作するくらいなら、不快ですし必要ないので制作しないでください。
素晴らしい俳優さんたちの無駄遣いです。
ドラマ1つ1つに評価やコメントが出来た方が製作者にも伝わると思いますけど…それを無視するのであればどんどん見る人がいなくなるだけだと思います。
がっかりです。

### 5/5 — 毎日楽しみに見てます

*2026-04-07*

道端で拾ったワンコ系男子は御曹司にはまってます。続編見たいです！

### 5/5 — なかなか進まない。

*2026-01-04*

無料やから広告あるのは仕方ないと思ってましたがバグなのか8回広告みても一回も話見れずそのうち2回は報酬ゲットの画面でていたのにその後ドラマの画面になるとまだみれず広告を見るの画面で何度広告を見ても進みません。
広告みて1話やっとみれても数秒くらいで、その後また広告みても進まずさすがにちょっとスムーズにみれるように改善していただきたいです。

### 1/5 — 微妙

*2025-11-15*

貰えるポイントが少ないのと、アンロックしても視聴期限がありすぐにロックしてしまうのが不満
他のアプリだと貰えるポイントが多いのと、一度開いたらロックは掛からない、1日の視聴数も倍です
