Korean movies, series, and dramas have become a huge hit worldwide. People are watching and streaming Korean content like never before. What if there was a subscription service that had tons of Korean shows in one place? Kocowa is here for you! But can you download shows to watch online from Kocowa?

Without using sketchy websites, you cannot download content from Kocowa to watch offline.

Even though Kocowa is the best way to watch Korean content on your TV or devices, there are other options that will allow you to download content to watch offline. Read on to find out which services allow content downloading.

What is Kocowa?

Kocowa is an online streaming service for Korean drama series. It offers various shows, and K-POP shows from KBS, MBC, SBS, and other content partners.

It offers this content at a premium, using a subscription-based model just like many other streaming services.

However, all video content from shows becomes free through the platform once they have passed one year after broadcast.

The good news is that these subscription plans are affordable if you don’t want to wait a whole year for that free content.

Subscribers get access to full HD video, unlimited dramas and tv series, compatibility with Roku, Apple TV, etc., and no pesky advertisements.

Kocowa is available for streaming from their website and from their iOS or Android apps available from their respective app stores.

It is available only in North and South America, but they are actively looking to expand into other parts of the world soon.

Which Streaming Services Offer Downloading Content?

While Kocowa does not allow downloading content legally from its website, there are a few streaming services that do offer the ability to download content to watch offline.

Netflix

Everyone and their dog seems to have a Netflix subscription these days. They have been the streaming king for years now.

Some of the best Kdramas available on Netflix include:

  • It’s Okay Not to Be OkayCrash Landing on YouMineSquid GamesStar-upKingdom

Subscription prices for Netflix rise every so often, so check to see if a subscription with this service is worth it. It might be your best option if you and your family like to watch more than just Kdramas.

Hulu has something for romantic, comedy, and drama fans, such as:
