On October 16, 2018, DramaFever permanently shut down. Fortunately for fans of Korean Dramas, there are a number of DramaFever replacements for you to get your fix of the K-drama scene. In this post, we handpick 10 of best DramaFever alternatives for you.

1.     Rakuten Viki

Viki is perhaps the best DramaFever replacement. It offers a wide variety of Asian TV shows and movies compared to other streaming platforms in the United States. Whether you’re in the mood for a Korean drama, a Chinese series, or even a show from Taiwan or Japan, there is fabulous content from every possible genre.

When deciding on what TV show or movie to watch, Rakuten VIKI provides its users with the resources they need to make this decision easier. As a user, you’re able to view ratings, reviews, summaries, cast members, video clips, trailers, and news. 

One of the best features that Rakuten VIKI has to offer to its users is streaming of their TV shows and movies for free! Users are able to create a free account and start following their favorite actors, actresses, TV shows, movies, and more.

The drawback about the free version of Rakuten VIKI is that ads sporadically pop up when streaming. If you want to remove the ads, you can upgrade to the premium services which range from $4.99/month to $9.99/month.

2.     Viu

Viu is a leading pan-regional over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service. It is a good alternative to DramaFever for anyone who likes Korean Dramas. It divides Korean dramas into different types so that audiences can quickly find the desired title based on their preferences. For example, you can choose from Fresh Release, Best of Historical, Classic Shows to Catch-up, Editor’s Pick, etc. Watch all of this with subtitles in English, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Burmese, Mandarin & Arabic!

However, please note that Viu is geo restricted to the following countries: Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Myanmar in Asia; Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Middle East; as well as South Africa.

3.     OnDemandKorea

If you’re a fan of Korean contents, you owe it to yourself to try OnDemandKorea right away completely Free of charge! This is a legal site to watch or download Korean dramas and movies. You won’t be breaking any law by using the streaming site.

On this website, you can always watch updated Korean dramas. All Programs are updated within hours after they air in Korea so you can stay up-to-date with the latest in Korean programming. With hundreds of current and previously aired Korean shows, OnDemandKorea won’t leave you wishing you had more to choose from. 

Subtitling options vary between shows. Some offer English subtitles, some offer Korean subtitles and some offer no subtitles. Luckily, you can filter by subtitling options to see which K-dramas match your preferences.

4.     DramaCool

The next on the list is DramaCool. I’m impressive with its neat and well-organized interface. It has a quick navigation bar where I can choose different types of dramas and movies, and even choose dramas based on stars. Its highlight is the detailed Drama Calendar feature, which tells the playing time of ongoing dramas down to the exact minute so you can schedule to watch the premiere.

This site is totally free and has a large number of dramas and TV shows, ranging from classic ones to the latest releases. The admins of the website are really working hard to keep their visitors up to date by updating the website with fresh new Korean drama content.

The best part of this website is that It also offers an option for you to download dramas in different resolutions.

5.     Viewasian

Viewasian.tv is another popular website to watch Korean dramas. Like VIKI and Viu, this site also includes most of the Asian drama other than Korean drama in its massive library. The simple yet detailed design of the website and quality of the drama makes the website one of the best DramaFever replacements.

There is easy access to description and the total number of episodes listed on-hover and bellow each of the posters. This makes the search for perfect drama much easier and time-saving. The website is available in various countries and is free. It also does not require any sign-ins.

6.     AsianCrush

Per its owner’s website, AsianCrush aims to be the “one-stop portal for Asian entertainment”. It includes a large selection of Asian content (Movies & TV), from Chinese martial arts to Korean dramas, Japanese cult films to Thai horror movies. You can watch for free (with ads) or pay $4.99 for the premium version.

7.     Dramago

Dramago is another very popular DramaFever alternative to watch Korean dramas for free. The site hosts a simple enough homepage with sections such as drama movies, drama series, daily releases, and popular series. Also, it allows the user to search for top and super hit drama serials which essentially saves a hell lot of time of viewers.

8.     Kshow123

Kshow123 is a clean and well-organized replacement for DramaFever. It focuses on Korean TV shows including Knowing Brother, Produce 101, Finding Genius, Running Man, and so on. Most of the TV shows are English subbed and there will be a Sub label on the top right corner of those episodes. If you’re a Korean TV show fan, this site is a good place not to be missed.

9.     DramaBeans

DramaBeans is known for providing users with a large number of Korean, Asian, Chinese and Japanese dramas. Though you can watch Korean dramas in this site, it features in-depth reviews and analysis of Korean dramas, and also serves as a fan forum for those programs featured. It also features Korean entertainment news on such topics such as preproduction and casting. Besides, DramaBeans also has a segment called the “Ask an Actor,” which consists of interviews of the popular Korean actors and actresses.

10. Mydramalist

Different from other DramaFever replacement in the list, you cannot watch TV shows or movie on Mydramalist. However, it can help you discover and track new Asian / Korean dramas and films. Meanwhile, the site offers a platform for users to write reviews, make recommendations, discuss dramas and movies, and make friends with people who share the same interests.

Which Website is the Best DramaFever Replacement?

Well, this is the list of recommendations for the best DramaFever replacements to watch Korean dramas. In your experience, which website is the best DramaFever alternative?

As for me, OnDemandKorea is the best alternative to DramaFever because it is a legal site to watch and download Korean drama and movies. In the contrary, many other websites may shut down at some time.
