[FEATURE] Stay Home With Korean Dramas From Viu

The circuit breaker extension may have put a stop to some of our indulgences (bubble tea anyone?) , but this does not mean entertainment is put to a stop! Thankfully (and we can’t stress this enough), we have Viu to keep us entertained for the extended hours at home.

If you haven’t heard of Viu, think of it as the best friend we all need. Viu is a video streaming service that delivers content in various genres from Asia’s top content providers. This comes with local language subtitles as well as their own original production series under “Viu Original” initiative. Now, if the term best friend is too cliché for you, perhaps life-saviour would be a better alternative! 😛

With an extensive list of Korean dramas available on Viu’s platforms, it serves as an inviting stay-home activity for many of us. After all, entertainment provides solace and support during challenging times, of which many of us can relate to lately. Some of the dominating drama genres at Viu revolve around romance, fantasy and action thriller. In this article, The Seoul Story has picked our top three dramas that are a must-watch currently! 🙂

Dr. Romantic 2

With an outstanding run of season one in 2016, Dr. Romantic greets us with a season two this 2020. Doldam Hospital is still as busy as ever, but this time with fresh faces Cha Eun Chae (Lee Sung Kyung), Seo Woo Jin (Ahn Hyo Seop) and Yoon Ah Reum (So Joo Yeon) as part of the team. Join them in their everyday trials with various patients and cases as they do their best to keep them alive. Doldam team led by Teacher Kim (Han Suk Kyu) soon faces another challenge as they go head-on with professor Park Min Gook (Kim Joo Han) who is blinded by greed, status and power instead of using his skills to save lives.

The World of the Married

A gut-wrenching portrait of infidelity, this drama keeps you at the edge of your seat with every episode. The realness served by Ji Sun Woo (Kim Hee Ae), Lee Tae Oh (Park Hae Joon) and Yeo Da Kyung (Han So Hee) showcases the pain, struggles and sufferings involved in a tangled marriage. What started as a perfect life for Ji Sun Woo with a successful career and a happy family soon changed into a complicated mess. The despair in seeking vengeance escalates when the perfect life gets shattered. Viewers are definitely in for a ride as this drama is packed with twists and turns. With the drama breaking records and surpassing 25% in ratings, get your popcorn ready and enjoy the tea!

Meow, The Secret Boy (Welcome)

Cats are one of the most adorable creatures on Earth! But what happens when a cat is not exactly a pet and is actually a human instead? Sol Ah (Shin Ye Eun), a budding webtoon artist working at a graphic design company brings home a cat one day. But it is no ordinary cat as Hong Zo (Kim Myung Soo) sometimes transforms into human form in the presence of Sol Ah. With both Sol Ah and Hong Zo having great interest in protecting the people around them, they find themselves embracing each other’s existence. But how long can they keep themselves near each other? Based on a webtoon by writer Go Ara, dive into the fantasy world of Meow, The Secret Boy.

We might have listed only three, but there certainly has been an influx of new Korean dramas that are worth watching. What better way than to use the extra time at home to keep yourselves entertained with various programs! If you worry about not having subtitles, throw those worries away as Viu provides all their shows with English subtitles, making your viewing experience a pleasure! Viu is available on web browser, iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
