I get “Sorry, this content is not licensed for your region.” for Greece. Is there a point to submit a request, I mean, do they add countries after they get the license?
I forgot about this tread. Who wants to see this drama, I do and many more as well, perhaps you can spread the word, thank YOU for sending license request!

Update: Viki obtained the license!!

I’ve noticed that all dramas show that notice before the license. And it makes sense, since they don’t know yet whether it will be licensed for a certain region or not. The moment it’s licensed, the notice goes away.
Not all dramas show that notification, some just show “no episodes available”. Anyway, does Viki add countries after they get a license, does it make sense to submit requests for more countries for an already licensed drama?

That’s an excellent question! People are encouraged to ask. So maybe if there is great demand viki will listen?
Then there is the question of other websites. Some other websites may get the exclusive license for other countries only for a certain time, for instance, until the drama is fully aired. Then viki, if there is demand, can ask for it too.
I would like to see these dramas on Viki: “One percent of Anything”, “Seven First Kisses”, “Night Light”.
I wonder why the first two don’t even have a channel.

“One Percent of Something” is an exclusive on the other channel. Maybe the license is so exclusive that Viki may not get it, so no fan channel was approved. “Seven First Kisses” just may at a later time, but who knows. “Night Light” is a Netflix exclusive. Since it is Netflix’s first licensed drama, who knows how long they’ll retain the exclusive.
It’s to bad…I did want to watch “One Percent” here, but no luck.

You can watch Seven First Kisses on YT.
I did watch part of it and I can tell you it’s so stupid that I wanted to scream at myself at watching even those few episodes that I did. It’s basically an ad for Lotte stores with a flimsy plotline and mostly very bad acting. Even the real actors in there looked embarrassed, as if their agency told them “you cannot refuse this, we’ll get in trouble with your sponsor”. As for the leading girl, it is better to keep a merciful silence and not say anything about her.
Go and see by yourself if you don’t believe me.

The movie is already licensed. There wouldn’t even be a channel for it if it were not.
Not true. A channel is approved, so that the CM can ask people to ask for the licence. It doesn’t mean that the movie or series is licensed.

The movie is under “Coming Soon”, so it is indeed licensed. And according to my obeservations, channels for movies get never approved lately unless they get licensed, this is what I meant.

Ah, is there a different way of doing things for movies, then?
(Because for series it’s definitely not like that)
I do hope that viki brings more movies. Although most of them are either very dark or they finish tragically. I don’t know why filmmakers think that sad = more artistic.

the miraculous mystery of how Viki works… it appears to be licensed with 47 likes and no cv brand new!

This sounds like something I would say, but 10 times funnier. 
Has anyone submit a channel request for **The Liar and His Lover**? I don't know if it'll be any good because the female lead has never acted before, but I miss Lee Hyun Woo

Ohh yes now they can finally approve one of the channels that have been pending for over a year I think! It’s my favorite manhwa so I keep checking every once in a while if there is an approved channel. A while ago I asked Viki staff to please approve one of the channels that are pending for more then a year but I was told they couldn’t.
Can you please approve one now? @kris_o @anaheli @anon27228197 @jimmy_l
