Can you follow the Japanese without subtitles?p43425:
No. I was using a browser extension for subtitles which has since been removed. [Don't know why!].
Netflix (like Iqiyi) seems to look at where the account is registered, so VPN seems not to overcome geo-blocking.
Depends on your VPN. I'm able to watch iQIYI and Netflix from other countries while signed into my account; however, my VPN server offers a stealth mode and is probably overlooked as its not as well known as other VPN services.

Ditto. I use email address aliases for all my online accounts (except with my doctor) so I can track spam and see who has sold my details. Also, I never enter my credit card details anywhere. That said, I've never created an account at Bilibili as it's not really a site that I use.

I think virtual credit cards are very low risk: You can create them individually with a tight limit and set them to expire (or cancel them) at any time.
I thought that the German VPN I pay for is very good and not so well known, but I'm sure you're right. (You usually are!) In any case, I'm reluctant to get my Netflix account banned ... so better safe than sorry.
I only watch Bilibili and Iqiyi on my PC browser. I personally would not install an app for either of these. (I do, however, trust the Viki and Gaga Android apps - although even with these, I use virtual credit card numbers just to be extra safe.) My Bilibili account uses one of my dummy e-mail addresses, so there's not much they can do with that - and in fact, I've not yet gotten any spam whatsoever to that address. So I think it's pretty low risk.
On Viki and other apps I use a prepaid card and only add the exact amount when its due.

Thanks for the info! That helps a lot. :-)
All eight episodes of "A Breeze of Love" (South Korea, 2023) have dropped on iQIYI.

I can't wait to watch them *-* (probably tonight!)
Do you perhaps already watched it? Or formed any opinion on it?

Grrr. Once again, geo-blocked in Germany. When I connect to UK using my VPN but don't log in, it shows up on Iq.com - but as soon as I log in, it's geo-blocked. I'm not a techie, but I can only assume that Iqiyi looks at the location of my account registration - or am I missing something?

You're missing something I feel. Do you clear your browser cache before setting your VNP, and then logging into iQIYI?

I'm reviewing each episode as I watch it. You can see these on the episode details of the drama's page.
Just watched the first episode of "Middleman's Love" (iQIYI).
Unfortunately, I read the novel of "Middleman's Love" (Thailand, 2023) earlier this year. Then the casting issues happened, so "Bed Friend" (Thailand, 2023) was released first meaning the novels were released out of order. If this drama is anything to go by, it won't be like the novels. Jade is more like a clown in this than the adorably oblivious middleman for King and his admirers, and Uea and Mai he was in the novel.
