Summer vacation in China is drawing near. The duration varies nationwide, plus or minus a week or more, between July 1st to August 31st. Culled from Weibo, this is a list of upcoming historical dramas (not exhaustive, and other genres will be posted as well) tentatively scheduled for this holiday period. While I have my personal faves, they all look promising. Do check them out!
If you will, do submit this form (per title) to urge VIKI to obtain the respective licensing rights. These productions should be made available to VIKI viewers globally, and reach a wider viewership worldwide. To date, there’s no channel for any of them. =>Please complete and submit this request form: Request a TV Show or Movie – Help Center

Any hopes in licensing Legacy? There’s apparently no English subtitles available anywhere thus far. It’s a gem and would be great if Viki would bring it to international viewers/fandom here. https://www.viki.com/tv/37357c-legacy#reviews

Official confirmation - Premiering on 6.29.22 on Dragon TV, Beijing TV and Youku streaming platform.
Coming real soon! But still no sign of it being licensed on Viki. @Everyone =>Please complete and submit this request form: Request a TV Show or Movie – Help Center .
There’s no indication whatsoever. So… your guess is as good as mine lol.
Thank you (and everyone) for putting in multiple requests. I feel a good vibe as far as licensing on Viki is concerned. Let’s…
Btw, I’m hoping for a flash premiere on 6.24 (today) on Youku as rumored. But all (Youku’s) bets are on The Story of Xing Fu and its confirmed premiere on 6.29.
Understandable though. Within 24 hours of the release of its confirmed premiere schedule, over 2 million viewers/subscribers have signed on (Youku) in advance of the premiere.
It seems, and as the rumors have it again, Immortal Samsara may premiere after TSoXF has completed its streaming on the platform. That may be fans’ wishful thinking again. Just and hope for the best.
Title: Angels Fall Sometimes 《如果还有时间》 Genre: Friendship, Romance, Life, Melodrama Starring: Lin Yi and Landry Li
Yes, it looks promising, though heartbreaking and sad. This CP is so endearing, cute and sweet. It’s in the Tencent 2022 line up. It may premiere within 2022 (on WeTV).
