Here are some shows you can watch on Viu:
“The Penthouse” Season 3
One of the most viewed Korean series last and this year is back for a third season. Revenge and karma are two sides of the same coin for those living in Hera Palace. No one seems to die nor becomes defeated for too long in this over-the-top drama.
“Doom at Your Service”
With death at her doorstep, writer Tak Dong-kyung (Park Bo-young) makes a deal with Myeol-mang (Seo In-guk) or the Doom so she can live her life the way she wants to for the next 100 days. “Doom at Your Service” tackles philosophical questions about love, sacrifices, and how people act in the face of impending death (“What would you do when you have 100 days to live?”). This is a Viu exclusive.
“Youth of May”
This hospital drama takes its audience back to the 1980s, in the middle of the Gwangju Uprising where 800 South Koreans lost their lives in a mass protest for democracy. The story follows the lives of young doctor Hee-tae (Lee Do-hyun) and nurse Myung-hee (Go Min-si) who become romantically involved within the turbulent times of the era. While set in the backdrop of a turning point in South Korean history, “Youth of May” is also a nostalgia-inducing series that tackles the importance of enjoying the journey of growing up instead of the destination.
“Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth”
This award-winning drama set in the Silla period not only has the beautiful faces of Korea’s heartthrobs V from BTS, Minho of SHINee, Park Seo-joon and Park Hyung-sik gracing the screen but also chronicles the life of an elite group sworn to protect the future king.
“A World of Married Couple (The World of the Married)”
The highest rated drama in Korean cable history, this binge-worthy series takes a serious look at infidelity and employs an investigative format where the wife, Dr. Ji Sun-woo (Kim Hee-ee) slowly discovers evidence of her husband’s infidelity and how, in all her calm and poise, she extracts her revenge and rebuilds her life.
“SKY Castle”
The satirical saga does not need an introduction as it has long been a fan favorite since its 2018 release. The story spins around the overachieving parents living in the exclusive and upscale Sky Castle and how their dreams for their children to enter only the top university reveals the darker side of their humanity.
Check out all these K-dramas and more by downloading the Viu app on App Store, Google Play and selected Smart TVs, as well as on the web to access your favorite Korean and Asian shows.
