My love for Kdrama started because I’m watching Jdrama and I find it quite a disappointment that there are not really that much Jdrama on Viki so I have to go elsewhere for my Jdrama needs. Now I know that the license process of Jdrama is more complicated but I think Viki should try harder. I want more people to discover the joy of Jdrama.
I would love to see those latest Jdrama on Viki:
I’m Your Destiny (Boku, Unmei no Hito desu. / ボク、運命の人です。)
