The detail that really surprised the audience was the quality of the selection. Instead of betting only on old or little-known productions, Viki chose recent dramas, popular romances, legal thrillers, acclaimed Chinese productions, and even an animation that became a phenomenon in Asia.
The campaign happens precisely at a time when Asian content is experiencing an explosion of popularity in Brazil. South Korean doramas, Chinese series, Japanese romances, and Thai lakorns have gained space on social media and have come to compete for audiences directly with American productions.
Among the free titles are stories of historical romance, time travel, school dramas, marital crises, and even animations inspired by Chinese folklore.
See below which productions were released and why some of them are already being pointed out as true hidden gems in the catalog.
Dear Thief
South Korea appears in the campaign with one of the most talked-about titles of early 2026.
"Dear Thief" mixes historical romance, fantasy, and comedy in a plot set in the Joseon era. The dorama follows a doctor who secretly acts as a thief, stealing from the rich to help people in need.
Everything changes when she crosses paths with a stubborn prince and the two end up switching bodies.
The premise resembles classic successes of Korean doramas, but the production gained strength mainly through the chemistry between Nam Ji Hyun and Moon Sang Min. The couple quickly became a topic on Asian social networks after its premiere.
Beyond romance, the drama also draws attention for its elegant visuals, traditional Korean costumes, and humorous scenes that well balance emotional moments.
For fans of sageuks—the famous Korean historical dramas—it is easily one of the most interesting titles in the campaign.
The Return of the Judge
Those who prefer more tense and dark stories may find in "The Return of the Judge" the best title in the selection.
The drama follows a corrupt judge who ends up murdered after challenging powerful interests linked to a major law firm. However, after dying, he wakes up ten years in the past with all memories intact.
From there, the opportunity arises to correct mistakes, prevent tragedies, and face again those responsible for his death.
Ji Sung leads the cast in an acting performance highly praised by legal dorama fans. Known for interpreting emotionally complex characters, the actor sustains much of the series' tension.
The atmosphere is heavier than usual in Korean romances. The dark cinematography, moral dilemmas, and themes related to corruption transform the drama into an interesting option for those who like thrillers and revenge stories.
Invisible Love Under the Clear Night Sky
Japan enters the list with an extremely delicate and emotional production.
"Invisible Love Under the Clear Night Sky" follows Kakeru, an introverted university student who has lost the motivation to enjoy life, and Koharu, a young woman with visual impairment who faces everyday life in a very different way.
The two begin to get closer while fulfilling small dreams from a wish list she created.
Unlike more fast-paced romances, the drama bets on silent moments, simple conversations, and gradual emotional development.
