Introduction

Every time I open Line TV and watch those exquisite Japanese and Korean dramas and variety shows, I can't help but think, "What if these shows are ever pulled from the air?" That's why I started seriously considering how to save my favorite Line TV content locally.

Line TV, originally launched by LINE, was a free video platform. It first launched in Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia, and boasted over 40 million users around 2020. Its content, focusing on Asian dramas and variety shows in multiple languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, was incredibly popular among young users.

However, Line TV ceased operations in Thailand and Indonesia in 2021, leaving only the Taiwan version still operating. This means that if you're not in Taiwan or are worried about the service being completely shut down, it's crucial to save your favorite content in advance.

Browse the video you want to watch and go to the episode details page.

Tap the "Download" or "Buy Offline" button (displayed in the top right corner of some videos), select the quality (e.g., 360p / 720p), and start downloading.

 Limitations
  • No file access or format control
    The app does not allow users to save videos as MP4 or MKV files, nor transfer them to other devices. Downloads are locked to the app and the device.

  • No batch or full-series download
    Episodes must be downloaded one at a time, making it inconvenient for users who want to save entire seasons or playlists.
