Over the years, Asian shows and movies, especially Korean Shows & Movies, have gained worldwide popularity. And the reason is simple. The plots are unique and interesting. They also have a strong storyline. If you are also a fan of Asian content, DramaCool is the right add-on for you.
DramaCool addon is a brilliant Kodi add-on for watching Asian content. The content available on the DramaCool website and this add-on is the same. The only difference is that Kodi users don’t need a browser to watch its content. They can directly open the add-on and enjoy its wide range of streaming choices.
It has content from different Asian countries including Korea, China, Thailand, India, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. The movie section interestingly also has American movies. Moreover, it sorts content by country, name, genre, and date of release.
This addon can provide links from multiple servers.
I hope the developers of this add-on will soon allow integration of Real Debrid and Trakt. This will only make this add-on better and more user-friendly.
DramaCool Kodi add-on is available in our list of Best Kodi add-ons.

How to Install DramaCool Kodi Addon
I will segregate the steps for the installation of DramaCool Kodi Addon into three parts. This will allow you to follow them easily.
1. Allow Unknown Sources within Kodi
DramaCool Kodi Addon is unavailable in the official Kodi Repository. So, we must install it from a third-party source. But Kodi, by default, doesn’t allow add-on installation from third-party sources. Therefore, you have to enable add-on installation from third-party sources first. This is how it’s done:
1. Start Kodi application
2. Choose Gear Icon (Settings) from Kodi main page.
3. Hit System
4. Highlight Add-ons from left side screen. Then, hit Unknown Sources from right side screen for enabling it.
5. You will see a warning.
Read this before proceeding.
It says the Add-ons will be given access to personal data stored on your device.
Now, if you do not want your personal data accessed by third-party add-ons, it is important to use a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN while streaming through a third-party Add-on.
Select Yes.
2. Install Repository Containing DramaCool Kodi Addon
DramaCool Kodi add-on is available in Lime Add-ons repo. So, install Lime Add-ons repo first & then, install DramaCool addon from it. This is how to install Lime Add-ons repo on Kodi:

3. Choose Add Source.
4. Select <None>
5. Type this URL without any errors:

💡Quick Tip: Typing this using the FireStick on-screen keyboard can be a real pain. Use the Fire TV Remote App to type faster and easier.

7. Again, select OK.
8. Navigate to the previous menu and choose Add-ons.

DramaCool Kodi add-on can neither link with Premium services like Real Debrid nor with Trakt. Moreover, it doesn’t have a Settings option. So, you can’t manage video resolution or playback settings in this add-on.
In Closing
DramaCool Kodi addon is specially built for those who love watching Asian movies and shows. New content is added daily. There is a separate dedicated section for Korean Shows.
You will definitely like this add-on. But what’s missing? This add-on doesn’t have Real Debrid and Trakt support. That means you will not get HD links from premium sources & can’t sync your media. Having said that, it’s still a great addon to watch Asian content.
