Channel deleted for “Sunshine By My Side”. :thinking:
Either licensing failed or Viki will add a new channel that’s been licensed. Oh well, I can hope. :grinning:

Isn’t this channel already here on Viki? Is this allowed, the use of the exact same title with a different cast?

For some reason, this is not all that uncommon among C-dramas. It makes things very confusing.

It still makes it confusing. Plus, they had plenty of titles to chose from, based on the info on the link.
:pensive::triumph: :wink:

They’ll likely defend the title, using the year. :smirk:

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.
