Channel deleted for “Sunshine By My Side”. 
Either licensing failed or Viki will add a new channel that’s been licensed. Oh well, I can hope. 
Fingers crossed ! 
Isn’t this channel already here on Viki? Is this allowed, the use of the exact same title with a different cast?

Parallel World premieres on Viki on September 7, 2023. Recruiting.
For some reason, this is not all that uncommon among C-dramas. It makes things very confusing.
You can say that again, it certainly does.
You’re right. I’ve added info to the channel.
It still makes it confusing. Plus, they had plenty of titles to chose from, based on the info on the link.
They’ll likely defend the title, using the year.

Native Title: 那些回不去的年少时光
Also Known As: Those Youthful Times That Can’t Go Back, Yesterday, Na Xie Hui Bu Qu De Nian Shao Shi Guang, 那些回不去的年少時光
Screenwriter: Wu Tong
Director: Wang Zhi Yong
True. It’s also not uncommon in other dramas, like K’s and T’s. Just a search with “Who Are You” on MDL would give one several examples. I guess going with the year of release would help to differentiate one from the other.
As for Viki, I believe they have no option to change any title provided to them. However, I wish they had not removed the original language title which was available on each channel page in the past. Still, it’s good to at least have a differentiation by the year of release.
Of course, it’s a wonder why production companies are not able to come up with their own unique title.
