I only see two historical dramas here, and I already finished the gender-bender Painter of the Wind, about the young painter who has to dress as and pretend to be a boy to be able to learn painting at the palace painting academy.
And I think I sampled the other one, but who knows ... now that its going away, I might watch it.
I agree that it would be nice if they could open up Painter of the Wind for free members ~ if they did, I could blog about it to hopefully get it a few more views before it is taken down ~ especially since it is a 20 episode series rather than the real marathon series.

I'd read somewhere that they hope to be announcing five new drama series sometime in the near term future.

Crunchyroll:
This time you've actually told us you were removing some of the dramas, and gave us warning. In the past, they just suddenly disappeared.
I have seen a pattern, though:
Some dramas were pulled from the site and somehow came back after you announced a separate drama membership.
Then last year some Tai Seng properties disappeared from the site. Shortly after that happened, you announced the separate pay wall run by CR to view Tai Seng's material.
Now some Seoul Broadcasting System properties are being pulled.
What with the past history of how you treat dramas, are these titles really losing their licenses, or are they going to be moved to yet another separate membership/pay wall like you have done in the past?
Aren't your exaggerating how much control Crunchyroll has in any of the above? They do not
own the titles involved. I mean, which is more likely with the Tai Seng case ~ that Crunchyroll drove the decision, or that Tai Seng drove the decision? From Crunchyroll's perspective, they would be better off with those title on their main site, so its far more likely it was Tai Seng that decided that they did not want their titles alongside the other titles.
