We don’t have a fan channel for the upcoming OCN drama “Voice,” which premieres on 1/14. If you could send in a request, maybe we’ll get it. Sounds like a great story. Here’s more info.

Form to fill in is in the message above. Thank much much. :slight_smile:

Viki does not usually get license from any TVN drama, unless it’s already completed.
Just saying.

We know…because of their arrangement with DF, but they could get a Europe license like with “Goblin.” Just maybe. :slight_smile:

A bit sad, isn’t it.

I saw the trailer for The Voice… was wondering if anybody submitted a channel :slight_smile:

I did and 4 other people I know for sure did, but no fan channel from Viki. Very disappointing.

Yay! “Chief Kim” was licensed. Now, please help us with “Missing 9” and “Introverted Boss.” Both have their premieres very soon.

Thank you!!!

And Memory Lost please =)

Do you mean the Chinese drama? There’s a thread for C-dramas as well. :slight_smile:

yes shit sorry i forgot just k drama ahah it’s tonight i’m tired ><

Unfortunately, it seems that DF has an exclusive arrangement with CJ E&M, so they get all the tvN dramas as exclusives on their site. We missed “Cinderella & Four Knights,” “Drinking Solo,” “Let’s Fight Ghost,” etc., because of that. They may come later but as of now, there are still exclusives on their site. bummer

No worries…we all support good dramas. Korean, Chinese…don’t matter. Hope that drama gets licensed if you want to see it. :slight_smile:

Let’s not forget “Powerful Woman Do Bong Soon.” It airs in February and has Park Hyung Sik, Park Bo Young and Ji Soo as the leads.

competition grabed for US sector:

  • Introvert Boss (My Shy Boss)
  • Missing 9
  • Tomorrow with you
  • Father I’ll take care of you
  • Goblin

we got

  • Hwarang :+1:
  • Saimdang :+1:
  • Chief Kim :+1:

what surprises me that competition still gets many dramas that aired here afterwards… while viki gets them rarely… is it just me?

You’re absolutely right. We are still waiting on “Moon Lovers,” “Drinking Solo,” “Let’s Fight Ghost,” “k2,” “Cinderella and Four Knights.” I’m sure I’m forgetting some but their exclusive deal with tvN keeps the license on their side as exclusives for a while after airing.

Viki needs to do the same. Get the exclusives like they did with “Moonlight Drawn by Clouds” and “Shopping King Louie” but keep the exclusive after it airs for some time. Viki’s license allowed the other site to get these two dramas as soon as they finished airing.

I’m very disappointed that they got “Missing 9” from MBC. I hope it’s not a pattern. There’s more competition now with Netflix getting into the mix.

I’m so happy ; I quote Viki on fb today > "We are getting Saimdang! "

Drama link here: https://www.viki.com/tv/25434c-saimdang-lights-diary _ But I hope the licence will be for Europe !

They announced “Saimdang” about a month ago. If you go to the drama’s page and it says " 13 Days" then it is licensed in your region. If it says, “restricted,” then it’s not. Viki doesn’t announce, publicly, license regions anymore.

The Package with Jung Yong Hwa and some other people.
