Stuck abroad and can’t watch your favorite shows? Here’s how I finally streamed that new action movie without the dreaded ‘region restricted’ error

I was scrolling through Weibo last Tuesday night, craving some good old-fashioned action movies from back home, when I stumbled upon the MV for ‘Endless’ from Catching the Shadows. There was Zhang Yuan’s voice filling my tiny apartment in Toronto, and those behind-the-scenes clips of stunt performers taking falls that made my own back ache in sympathy.

But then—the dreaded buffering circle. Again. The video stuttered like a car running on empty, freezing just as a stuntman leaped between two buildings. I could almost hear the director yelling ‘Cut!’ in frustration, mirroring my own groan.

This wasn’t the first time. Remember last month when everyone was raving about that new variety show? I spent forty minutes troubleshooting before giving up and watching cat videos instead. The disappointment tasted like stale popcorn.

What hit me hardest were the comments under the MV: ‘The fight scenes hurt to watch but in the best way!’ and ‘Haven’t seen action this raw in years!’ Friends back in Shanghai were texting me about the ‘must-see’ practical effects, while I was stuck staring at error messages.

It’s not just about missing out on entertainment—it’s that ache of cultural disconnect. That feeling when everyone’s sharing inside jokes about a show’s meme-worthy moments, and you’re just… outside. Looking through a window at a party you can’t join.

The behind-the-scenes footage showed actors training until 3 AM, bruises mapping their dedication like purple constellations. Meanwhile, I felt defeated by something as silly as a ‘content not available in your region’ notification.

But here’s the thing—after talking to other overseas friends, I realized we’re all in this same leaky boat. My cousin in Melbourne uses her ancient iPad just to watch cooking shows because it ‘buffers less somehow.’ My college roommate in London once drove to Chinatown to buy DVDs because streaming failed during the season finale of her favorite drama.

There’s something ironically poetic about it: we left home for broader horizons, only to find ourselves locked out of the very culture we grew up with. The digital Great Wall feels especially high when you’re craving the comfort of familiar stories.

So what did I do? I got stubborn. I channeled that ‘endless’ persistence the MV celebrates—the same spirit that keeps stunt actors getting back up after each fall. I became determined to crack this digital barrier.
