SEOUL, South Korea (Mar 2026) — If you have been looking for an excuse to start a new drama, Rakuten Viki just handed you ten of them.
In celebration of International Women’s Day, the streaming platform has launched “Viki Celebrates Women,” a curated collection of female-led Korean dramas now featured on Viki’s homepage. The titles span a wide range of moods and genres, from quiet emotional dramas to sharp corporate thrillers to lighthearted romances.
Here is a breakdown of what is in the collection and what each one is actually about.
For the nights you just want to feel something
Love Me stars Seo Hyun-jin as a composed obstetrician carrying a long-buried family tragedy. When a free-spirited neighbor enters her life, the walls she has built around herself begin to crack. It is a slow, tender drama about vulnerability and healing.
My Mister features IU in one of her most celebrated performances as a young woman crushed under debt and obligation. Her unlikely connection with a quietly struggling middle-aged engineer played by Lee Sun-kyun is built on empathy rather than romance, and the result is one of the most emotionally resonant dramas on the platform.
Yumi’s Cells takes a more inventive approach, using animated inner emotions to tell the story of Kim Go-eun’s character navigating love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. It is messy, relatable, and surprisingly moving.
Bitch X Rich goes darker. After witnessing a murder, a transfer student finds herself trapped inside the ruthless social hierarchy of an elite school, where secrets and alliances are the only currency that matters.
For when you’re channeling your inner CEO
Love Scout follows Han Ji-min as a self-made headhunting executive whose professional and personal life begins to shift when her capable secretary steps further into her world.
Agency puts Lee Bo-young front and center as a woman fighting to become the first female executive at a major advertising firm. It is a sharp, ambitious drama that does not shy away from how hard that climb actually is.
First Lady begins with a gut punch: Cha Su Yeon, played by Eugene, is handed divorce papers right as she is about to step into one of the country’s most powerful roles. What follows is a story about a woman refusing to be written out of her own life.
For when you want the fun stuff
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo is a warm, beloved coming-of-age story about an aspiring weightlifter balancing athletic dreams, friendship, and romance. It holds up.
Doctors follows Park Shin-hye as a once-rebellious teenager who, after a mentor sees her potential, rebuilds herself into a skilled surgeon. It is a slow burn that pays off.
Suspicious Partner blends legal thriller with romantic comedy, following a law intern who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case and the prosecutor who decides to help her find the truth.
The full “Viki Celebrates Women” collection is now available to stream on Viki, with more titles beyond this list also featured on the homepage.
