šŸ‰šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³ 2022/2023 C-DRAMAS - WISH LIST of VIKI CHANNELS WE WANT!

Would be nice if Viki gets this one, but perhaps this one is too costly…
Here is your chance to request it!

It seems as you said, when I look at latest On Air shows, the mix of dramas or shows is going somewhere not sure where but not there where it used to be… what is that Espana production?
Is BL so popular? Some dramas or shows have a really low rating… why even bring on screen…
It must be a money issue or a management issue… Also the thing with paid subbers and vikibots and the presubbed E, P and S… I see some English subs that aren’t that good as they used to be… Oh well… :crying_cat_face:

Glad to see you here :slight_smile:
No, not that we, Viki fam of C-drama lovers, want you or anyone else to go watch elsewhere. Rather, as the title of this thread suggests (though there’s no way to edit/update the currency to 2025) , we’re bringing such dramas to the attention of Viki (staff) and drama lovers, and hoping Viki will consider our WISH LIST (as well as our REQUESTS for TITLES) and try to secure the respective licensing rights for them.

Hope springs eternal. HOPE ON and do not give up sharing/requesting for dramas we love to be shown on Viki.com! Indeed, many of us do prefer to watch our fave dramas here on Viki, and it’d be even better if WATCH PARTY is revived. :muscle: :raised_hand: :hugs:

Can’t wait! Hope Viki will bring it to us here. I’m sure many contributors can’t wait to ā€œworkā€ on it too. Jia You!
:muscle:

I don’t know about all genres, but the BL is very popular. But even if they bring a few BL titles from time to time, they still don’t have the good and very good titles (most of them from Thailand). So they are still struggling. Last year they started to bring more GMMTV BL titles, but most of them were released in the previous year. They still bring them, but in the same way; already old for 1-2 years, and still not those very popular. So, looking at the entire picture, the money is for sure one of the main problems. So it could be very likely that at this moment, Viki is under a question mark in the Rakuten Group.

ok y’all I found this on YT today and thought I would share, BUT I am asking the managers of this if it is not ok, please delete it!! this is what we all are talking about here and I thought this went right along what we were talking about. Please don’t block me for coming back on here that was not my intention!! this also includes all the asian dramas

how long after we request a drama /movie , will we see results. oh I know the licensing comes into play here, but how long will this take??

WOW! I was wondering today is Viki was going to gift Xiao Zhan’s ā€œLegendā€¦ā€ to fans. Thanks, you made my day! I’ll wait (impatiently) for the channel to appear here in Arizona.

@a_hauth_238 is this announced on Discord the unofficial Viki page, where staff is also there, since it’s not posted yet on viki website??

No, this is information that you can find on Viki if you search for it. It has nothing to do with any other site.

The title doesn’t fit, but the actors mentioned in Viki’s trailer are correct.
[Song Wei Long as Jiang Xu, Bao Shang En as Ming Tan]

And there’s also this channel… two different channels for the same drama??

I’ve seen channels duplicated before. Both links are for channels hidden to me. MDL shows the 30 episode series is scheduled to release May 19, 2025.

Thanks for the heads up. :+1:
