Attached is a list of dramas that will be unlicensed by the end of this month. If any of your favorites are on this list, I would recommend bingeing like crazy!!!

    I wonder if Netflix will pick them up? But even if they do I will miss the time comments 🙁

      Hopefully, I would like to watch them there… The timed comments were the best parts about watching a drama on Viki. Some of the comments were hilarious so it added to the dramas. I just wish that these dramas didn’t have to go. A lot of them are really popular and for new K-drama watchers it’s kind of like a ritual to watch the classics LOL

    My Love from a Star? Man, that’s so sad. They should do something about it.

      I don’t know if they can do anything about it… This is what the Viki Community Support had to say about this (https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010335727):

      Why do titles leave Viki?
      -Viki acquires licensing rights for TV shows and movies for a certain period of time, not indefinitely.
      -When the TV show or movie is no longer available, the licensing agreement has ended with the content provider.
      -Other issues outside of our control regarding music rights, syndication deals, amongst others.
      Whenever a TV show or movie is expiring, we evaluate whether or not to renew it using the same criteria we apply to potential new content.
      Some factors considered are the following:
      -Are the rights to renew the licensing to stream still available?
      -What is the popularity and cost of a particular title?
      -Are there other factors to consider like seasonality, etc.?

        I guess the only way to stop it is if you fill out Title Request Forms to stop them from taking it down

      I don’t understand how this is happening at all! The fact that so many dramas are losing their licenses make me really sad and I didn’t realize that this happened as well!

    Sigh. This makes me really sad because I go back to Tree every once in a while. Plus it just doesn’t feel right not watching it on viki.
