What new dramas would you like to watch on Viki?

Drama #5 a):

Switch Girl!! (スイッチガール!!)

(Japanese) Based on a manga with the same name created by Aida Natsumi, ‘Switch Girl!!’ revolves around a high school student named Tamiya Nika (Nishiuchi Mariya) who appears to be a stylish and fashionable girl at school, but that’s really a fake persona that she uses when she’s in public. At home, she “switches off” the facade and returns to her true disheveled nature. In this story, Niki’s love interest is Arata (Kiriyama Renn), who is the good-looking transfer student.

Ooku: Arikoto Iemitsu Hen

In the Edo era during the reign of the third shogun, a mysterious smallpox epidemic affects males only, causing the number of males to plummet to one-fourth of the population. The roles of males and females are reversed. Women run businesses and politics. A young girl takes the seat as the heir of the shogunate and becomes first female shogun. She is Tokugawa Iemitsu (Tabe Mikako). When Iemitsu turns 16, the pure-hearted Madenokoji Arikoto (Sakai Masato), who heads a temple, is threatened and forced to return to secular life. Together with his disciple Gyokuei (Tanaka Koki), he becomes one of the 3,000 handsome concubines that wait on the shogun in the inner palace.

Not so new (2012), but would like to see this drama here.

Because the topic is, What new drams would you like to watch on Viki?

Sorry :frowning: if that turned out to be a little confusing or misunderstanding (or whatever), at the beginning I did just want new dramas posted here but later I thought that it would be better if there’s both old and new, just for a mix to make it less boring I guess, and so that’s what’s written in the description/first post. :slight_smile:

Guys please don’t post about (too) old dramas, like from before 2011. Thank You :slight_smile:

But I guess its okay if the drama is really, really cool!

How come “Future’s Choice” is translated into English as “Marry him if you dare”? o.0 Did they just decide they wanted something completely different for English name?

Drama 6:

##Sirius (시리우스)##

A drama about an investigation of a drug case by policeman, Do Shin Woo (Suh Joon Young), who bring him meet his twin brother Do Eun Chang (also Suh Joon Young). It tells the story of the tense brain play between the two twin brothers whose fates changed in a day and the love and hatred between them which they have kept in their hearts for so long.
It’s a really short drama with only 4 episodes, but it sounds pretty interesting (and it has Suh Joon Young in it!!)
