Here are five must-watch picks to add to your holiday watchlist, all available on Viu Premium this summer:
uBettina Wethu
With all four seasons now available on Viu, South Africa’s answer to Ugly Betty is back and better than ever. Follow Bettina, the quirky, underestimated assistant who proves that brains, heart, and hard work can outshine any designer suit. It’s a homegrown favourite full of feel-good moments and workplace drama that will have you rooting for the underdog every step of the way.
Crazy About You (Indoni Yamanzi)
This isiZulu-dubbed Brazilian telenovela story begins with the ambiguous relationship between friends Viola and Luma, who seem predestined to enter each other’s lives. Born on the same day, in very different situations, they meet years later, united by coincidences that go beyond their birthday. From humble origins, Viola moves with her boyfriend to Angra dos Reis, where Luma lives a luxurious life and dates Rudá, who ends up meeting Viola by chance. Thus begins the duo’s journey, which goes from a passion for recipes to an obsession with the same man. A journey divided between complicity and rivalry…and a secret surrounding a murder.
Crossed Paths (Ubungani Nobuthi)
Seven friends who met in their youth meet again 25 years later. Lara, Taís, Helena, Adriana, Renée, Natália and Carol; each of them has their own story and struggles but they share a deep affection for each other. The perfect binge for when you just want to lose yourself in the drama. Beautifully dubbed in isiZulu and emotionally charged, this Brazilian telenovela is one of those shows you’ll promise to watch “just one more episode”…and then stay up all night finishing.
Lovely Runner (Ezinsukwini Zokuqala)
Would you go back in time to save the one you love?
When Sol’s idol Sun-jae dies suddenly, she wakes up 15 years in the past – determined to change his fate. This K-drama-turned-K-Zulu fantasy blends romance, mystery and time travel, proving that second chances can be both heart-warming and heartbreaking. Dubbed in isiZulu for the first time, it’s as moving as it is magical.
The Heirs (Izidla Mafa)
Money, secrets and forbidden love: welcome to the world of Korea’s elite. The Heirs (dubbed in isiZulu) follows Kim Tan, a brooding heir who falls for Eun Sang, the housekeeper’s daughter. It’s all glitz, power plays and heartbreak, with the kind of slow-burn tension that K-dramas do best. If you love love triangles and scandal, this one’s worth every episode.
