I pay annual subscriptions to:
- Netflix without the ads
- Viki Pass Plus because I wanted immediate access to shows, without ads
- Youtube Premium because I can’t be bothered with the ads on regular Youtube
- Prime Video, but technically, this came free with my Amazon Prime membership
- Paramount+ (What’s this? I never used it. It came free with my Walmart Plus membership)
Disney+(lol. I canceled though because I didn’t want to support the company’s woke agenda)- Jetpack/Wordpress to maintain this blog because it’s my stress-reliever and your gathering place.
I liked Dramacool because it was a virtual one-stop shop of dramas for me.
It conveniently had all the kdramas, cdramas, doramas, Taiwanese dramas, and lakorn collected in one place. It carried not only new dramas but also outdated dramas that none of the aforementioned sites carried. It gave me comfort knowing that anytime I craved for a classic kdrama or needed to refresh a nebulous memory of a scene, I could assess its extensive archive. It also allowed me to take screenshots of scenes for discussion and educational purposes here on this blog. Lastly, it gave me an alternative source when I wanted to get another subtitle for a better understanding of a dialogue.
The demise of Dramacool leaves a void as large as the Black Hole in the universe of avid drama viewers.
@pkml3 I heard about this and am saddened. It was such an archive of shows. So much comfort watching of old shows was possible because of this site.
Especially now when I’m in hospital and convalescing slowly. It was a sure storehouse of something to help kill an hour or two.
There are alternatives still, but I fear to name them, lest they are shut down or forced to. Let us mourn the loss of a great drama site.
Dear @GrowingBeautifully, hope you get well soon!
Thankfully you are in a good country with good medicine. Today Thursday 11/28/2024 is Thanksgiving so hopefully by counting your Blessings you have the best headspace to heal!
Back to topic, lets see what the successor of DramaCool will look and feel like. Such a Community cannot vanish so easily.
Dear @GB, just happened to re-read our viewing of Grace no Rireki in 2023. Even if I will probably never be even in the same country as you, I consider you as a very dear Friend.
Hope you get better soon.
