What is Dramacool?

Dramacool is a site that offers a decent amount of Korean Drama and Movies, with the quality of the site being quite good. The sound quality and the subtitles of the content available on the site are quite praiseworthy, considering these have been synced and applied nicely.

The site, in a nutshell, is one of the best sites, with, as a bonus point, is also free to watch South Korean drama movies and shows with English subtitles.

Is Dramacool Safe?

There is no simple answer to this question, considering we can answer this by two viewpoints. We can say Yes and No. First, let us get over why we say—yes, followed by why it is not safe.
