This thread is only for upcoming dramas with no fan channels or licenses.

I really wish Viki would license Empress Ki and Bride of the Century. :slight_smile:

Can we add Duel to the list? It begins airing on June 3rd. Please! I’ll help do the english subs.

It is on my post from yesterday.

these already have been awarded.

There is no way it will ever come to viki unless you start a campaign for people and enough people on various countries to submit license requests.

I’ve been waiting for this Bride of the Water God for so long too. The manhwa was my first read years ago, and it was a very interesting read. Can’t wait for the drama adaptation.

Been waiting for this Woman of Dignity too. Look at the teasers! They’re awesome! Both the teasers and the ladies :slight_smile:

Viki, please approve these two, if not all or more that are listed. Please don’t send your Korean drama fans/community to other site(s), As it is, the community is dwindling by the day. Frankly, the volunteer community (in general) is very discouraged as well. Have you taken a tabulation of vital numbers lately? (The same is true for Chinese drama fans and volunteers :frowning: )

For me it’s Lookout and Woman of Dignity …

Till now (for my region) license is here for Fight My Way and Queen of 7 Days. I will think about it.

I’m still hopeful about “Lookout.” The competition has it but it doesn’t say exclusive, so there’s hope. Maybe a late license? fingers crossed

Time for our monthly update. Let’s cover the dramas airing in July and August. As most of us know by now, Viki has changed its Channel Manager Assignment system, which now means that Viki creates the channels of upcoming dramas and people apply to be CMs. Maybe this update will help them create channels for dramas they may have missed. But the main point is for us to let them know what WE want to watch.

As always, here’s the link to the license request form:

I wanted to know how Viki is doing this year and actually, it’s not that bad.

Ouah, thanks for taking time to make a such thing ! :kissing_heart:
It’s amazing and helps a lot view much better what has been licensed and not ! Actually, you even made me discover a fan channel I was looking for and thought viki didn’t put it on, Byun Hyunk’s Love, so thank you ! :wink:
Basically, MBC & JTBC didn’t make it much on viki. And as usual, I will dare to say, KBS has been viki’s best partner.

That’s a wonderful job you did! Helps people get the big picture instead of throwing generalities, either pro or against, just because their favourite shows are or are not present here.

Thanks for your survey!!

The Package is coming in Oktober, do you know for sure, that Viki won’t get a license?

I don’t know for The Package. I wrote “no” because the fan channel has been deleted and because the previous JTBC dramas didn’t get licensed.
