There are several ways to watch Imitation K-drama from anywhere to catch up on idols, rivalry, and secret romances.
Most of these options allow you to stream legally and reliably, without compromising your safety.
Below are the legal platforms that carry Imitation, exactly how they carry it, their prices where official, and much more:
1. Rakuten Viki
Viki lists Imitation on its catalog, shows episode pages, and explicitly notes that you can “watch all episodes” on Viki. The platform provides community subtitles in many languages and runs free ad-supported viewing for much of its catalog,
You can also pay for the Viki Pass for an ad-free, higher-quality, and sometimes earlier access experience. Prices for this vary depending on your region.
If you live almost anywhere outside Korea, Viki is often the simplest legal path and is widely available across the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and many parts of Asia.
2. iQIYI
iQIYI picked up distribution rights for Imitation in selected territories and promoted the series as streaming “exclusively on iQIYI” for Southeast Asia during its initial run.
The service operates regionally across many Asian markets. These include Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and others. It offers free tiers + VIP subscriptions for ad-free / early access content. Prices, of course, vary by country.
3. Amazon Prime Video
Another way to watch Imitation is through Prime Video. This giant offers Imitation as a digital purchase/rental listing in multiple markets. The product pages display episode listings and costs per episode.
This is the best practical fallback if the show isn’t included in your streaming subscriptions. Here, you can legally buy episodes or seasons and keep them in your Amazon library.
Availability varies by country, so please check the Prime Video product page in your region. The price is approximately $1.99 per episode in most regions.
4. Netflix
Netflix’s catalog differs from country to country. However, it maintains a listing page for Imitation in at least some regional catalogs. For example, there is a Netflix Thailand title page.
If you prefer Netflix, check your regional search to see whether the series is in your catalog. Do not use a VPN to access countries, as this is against the law. Prices range from $7.99 to about $24.99 each month to access all the titles on the platform.
5. KBS2 and KBS World
Imitation is a KBS2 production that originally aired on KBS2 in South Korea. Internationally, some KBS content is redistributed via KBS World channels and official KBS streaming windows.
In Asian markets where coverage is available, the best way to watch Imitation K-drama from anywhere in the country is through the KBS2 broadcaster platforms.
6. YouTube
Official channels and licensed partners normally post trailers, promos, and often short clips or behind-the-scenes on YouTube. In some cases, some brands publish full episodes in region-restricted playlists.
This platform is generally a good place for previews and official excerpts, so do not rely on it for guaranteed, full-episode access.
7. Aggregators: JustWatch and Reelgood
JustWatch and Reelgood are search and aggregator services that show where a title is currently available in your country. They check streaming subscriptions, buy, rent stores, and free AVOD listings for the best way to watch Imitation K-drama from anywhere.
Before subscribing to anything, type ‘Imitation’ into JustWatch or Reelgood and select your country. This will give you a country-accurate list of legal links to watch.
8. Other regional platforms
Regional OTTs like Viu, WeTV, or local cable/OTT platforms sometimes license K-dramas or co-distribute them. Viu is widely available in many Asian, African, and Middle Eastern markets and is a usual place to check for K-dramas in those regions.
