What is Youku?
Youku is a major Chinese streaming platform owned by Alibaba that distributes dramas, films, variety shows, and animation in mainland China and internationally. The service has been active for years as one of the country's biggest video destinations, and in 2026 it became directly relevant to K-drama adaptation coverage by hosting the Chinese remake of My Mister.
Is Youku involved in Korean drama remakes?
Yes. Youku is the platform carrying the Chinese remake of My Mister, titled Loving Strangers. That makes it one of the key distributors in the 2026 remake cycle that also includes Japan's Stove League remake and Thailand's Crash Course in Romance remake, showing how Korean scripted IP is being localized across multiple Asian markets at once.
Does Youku operate outside mainland China?
Yes. Youku maintains an international-facing service at youku.tv and an official global social footprint, including a 1 million-follower Instagram account and an official YouTube channel. That broader distribution layer matters for drama brands because it lets Chinese originals and remake projects travel beyond the domestic market more easily.
