Specializing in media and TV services, it operates as a free and subscription-based over-the-top (OTT) video-on-demand streaming service.

Its current platform acts as a digital hosting network focused predominantly on East Asian and regional content, including Chinese mainland dramas, anime, and localized romantic series.
