BREAKING NEWS!

Yesterday, I tried to resume watching '' Romantic doctor '' and suddenly, I got a message on an entire page without clickable anywhere. I thought it was an issue of the website. I checked on google, turned out this is real. Seriously it's over forever!

DramaFever,
the streaming-video service specializing in Korean dramas and other Asian programming, is shutting down immediately.

Founded in 2009, New York-based DramaFever was acquired by Warner Bros. in 2016 from Japan’s SoftBank Group. New York-based DramaFever has operated as a unit of Warner Bros. Digital Networks, which has touted the streaming infrastructure and expertise it obtained through the acquisition.

“Today, Warner Bros. Digital Networks will be closing its DramaFever OTT service due to business reasons and in light of the rapidly changing marketplace for K-drama content, a staple of the service’s programming,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Warner Bros. Digital Labs, which encompasses more than two-thirds of the DramaFever workforce, will continue operating, serving as the tech engine behind many of WBDN’s operations.”

With the closure of DramaFever, about 20% of the unit’s 110 employees (or around 22) will be laid off.

Really? Completely shut down? YES for real!


Oh that feeling!
Can you relate that? Right?
At least, we have Viki ( careful for some restricted access due to a few foreign licenses )
