Hi everyone. I’m watching Lost and adoring it. I just had a question about how iQiyi releases new episodes. There are three available now, with episodes 4 and 5 marked as VIP. Do these episodes ever get released for free? Or do you now have to purchase the VIP pass to watch new episodes?
I think VIP get access earlier but after the episodes are free. But it’s not very clear with them. Sometimes, they decide to make some episodes VIP in the middle…
Now with kdramas after ep 3, the rest are VIP and stay VIP even after the drama’s run. I may have to check again but I guess My Roommate is a Gumiho worked the same way. Ep 3 onwards were only available to VIP and still are.

I’ll see what they do with episode 6 tomorrow. I thought episode 4 would be available today since it’s from last week.

I think they release the episodes the same time that it airs in Korea if you are a VIP subscriber.

Thank you. That’s what I’m thinking! Guess I’ll end up doing the paid option.
