Rakuten Viki is expanding its Korean entertainment offerings across Southeast Asia this November with two exclusive premieres, reinforcing its lineup of romantic comedies, crime dramas, and fan-favorite K-drama titles.
Leading the platform’s November releases are the workplace romantic comedy What a Boss Wants, premiering November 11, and the crime-action series Crash 2, arriving November 16. Both titles will stream exclusively on Viki, giving subscribers access to fresh Korean content across different genres.
Workplace Romance Takes Center Stage in ‘What a Boss Wants’
Combining workplace comedy, romance, and technology, What a Boss Wants follows the unexpected relationship between a successful technology entrepreneur and an aspiring singer leading a double life.
Sung Hoon stars as Kwon Do Hyuk, a brilliant CEO whose professional achievements have not brought him personal fulfillment. Following a betrayal by his business partner and his father’s demand to save a struggling entertainment company, Do Hyuk develops a plan to create an AI-powered entertainer to turn the business around.
His search leads him to Soo, an indie singer who closely resembles his AI creation. However, Soo is actually Eun Chae (Oh Se Young), a customer service center employee who pursues music outside her day job.
After discovering her secret, Do Hyuk persuades Eun Chae to sign a three-month contract as his secretary. Their unconventional arrangement sets the stage for workplace clashes, unexpected situations, and romantic complications.
Based on the web novel by Sikeukeu, What a Boss Wants premieres on Viki on November 11.
‘Crash 2’ Brings Crime, Action, and Investigation to the Lineup
For viewers drawn to crime and suspense, Crash 2 continues the story of Seoul’s specialized Traffic Crime Investigation (TCI) unit, which tackles cases involving insurance fraud, retaliatory driving, and suspicious road accidents.
The series features Lee Min Ki as Cha Yeon Ho, a highly skilled investigator known for reconstructing accident scenes despite being unable to drive. He works alongside Min So Hee (Kwak Sun Young), whose sharp instincts and martial arts abilities make her an essential member of the team.
The unit is led by Jung Chae Man (Heo Sung Tae), with automotive specialist Woo Dong Gi (Lee Ho Chul) and martial arts expert Eo Hyeon Gyeong (Choi Moon Hee) completing the group.
Adding a new dimension to the team is NCT’s Jisung, who joins as its newest recruit, bringing fresh energy to the unit’s investigations and workplace dynamics.
As the team uncovers the truth behind seemingly ordinary road incidents, each case tests its members’ investigative skills and ability to distinguish accidents from deliberate crimes.
Crash 2 premieres on November 16. Viki will also release the complete first season of Crash on the same date, allowing new viewers to catch up on the series before following its latest installment.
