*goes into an emo corner* Oh well. I should've seen this coming. I mean...okay I did not see this coming. Does anyone know the owners? Did they speak of this at all? D: I keep trying to make sense of this but nothing...

yeah part of me kinda knew that this would come eventually, i mean copyright laws are getting stricter and stricter all because more people chose to watch online free or download rather than pay, but i never saw it coming so fast and suddenly, i at least expected some kind of warning like even a day at the least to calm down and deal with it, but to give us 2 hours and without and explanation is just taking the effin piss to be honest

Where am I supposed to go now? Good Drama & Drama Crazy are my favorite sites. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS A JOKE! Why are they doing this? Can anyone tell me? This is a sad day for drama addicts.

It's the other way round. Because they DO realise dramas are popular all over the world, free sites will be forced to close or convet to pay sites. I think that's the intention. And then those pay sites could be available anywhere, not limited to restricted geopgraphical locations like dramafever. The question to me is will this lead to drop in drama watching. If the buisness is not profitable enough, would they still insist on keeping the paysites? Wouldn;t that come a full circle then?

and even worse, because european drama fans would be willing to pay, but there isn't just one site where we would be able to stream them legally. So naturally we choose dramacrazy or gooddrama

JeliTots-N-SmeliSoks wrote: just a thought, if dramacrazy planned to shutdown today, why did they upload more dramas episodes today? surely it would have been pointless if they are closing down?


They even uploaded some a few minutes before it was shut down :S

I've been worried about this since they shut down Stream2k....and now it happened....I may just die...where am I going to watch Japanese dramas? Where am I going to find the off the wall Korean and Taiwan dramas? Dirty rotten internet police (grumble grumble) lets not cry, lets start a revolution! Lets riot in the streets! They can't do this to us. (sob sob)Q2

As the interest in drama and anime is growing its hard to keep a site without legal problems.
Anyone who kept a site for the fun would shut at a time like this.


I agree with you on this.

Hey! I am willing to pay a fee like I do with Drama Fever. Can they keep it going if a lot of people say they are willing to pay a monthly fee? What do you think?
