Yooooo I just found out that Dramafever shut down after having not gone on it for awhile and my heart is kind of broken (hella dramatic, I know).  I grew up watching dramas with my sister on Dramafever.  Because of that platform, I was introduced to so many incredible tv shows and had soooo many that I was going to watch on my Watchlist.  I can’t believe it’s over!
