Experience K-drama in isiZulu with Viu’s first-ever dubbing

You’ve never watched Korean drama like this before. For the first time in South African history, Viu is bringing you K-dramas dubbed in isiZulu – so you can enjoy every twist, gasp and love triangle in your mother tongue. It’s Korean storytelling with local flair – and Iqhawe Labafundi (High School: Return of a Gangster) leads the way.

What happens when a 47-year-old gangster suddenly finds himself trapped in the body of a suicidal high school kid? Drama. That’s what. And not just your usual schoolyard stuff – we’re talking life-and-death choices, buried secrets and an unlikely quest for redemption that plays out one high-stakes day at a time.

Meet Kim Deuk Pal: a career gangster who’s always dreamed of going to university. But after a chance encounter with a bullied teen, he wakes up in the boy’s body, with no idea how to switch back. The result? He’s forced to live out a teenage life he never had, while trying to protect a boy who’d almost given up on life.

Whether you’re hooked on gangster flicks or stories with soul, Iqhawe Labafundi hits the sweet spot. Best part? You can stream it in isiZulu – with English subtitles on Viu for free, or go premium for even more options. It’s K-drama, Mzansi-style.

Viu is one of South Africa’s fastest-growing streaming platforms, offering a wide range of local and international content for free or on premium. Whether you’re into telenovelas, reality TV or global hits with a local twist, there’s something for everyone.

Viu-ers can catch all the K-drama on the Viu app. Download it for free from App Store, Google Play, Huawei App Gallery and selected smart TVs, or watch on the web at www.viu.com.
