Money, secrets and forbidden love… welcome to the lives of the rich and ruthless
K-drama just got a local twist – and we're here for it. Viu has made history by launching Korean dramas dubbed into isiZulu. It's a bold, fresh take on a global phenomenon, and now you can enjoy the glitz, drama and heartbreak of your favourite series in your home language. Izidla Mafa (The Heirs) brings the heat.
If you love your dramas with a side of scandal, then this one's for you. Set in the high-pressure world of Korea's elite, Izidla Mafa follows Kim Tan, a brooding heir to a massive family fortune. Banished to the US by his older brother, Kim Tan's life takes a turn when he falls for Eun Sang, the daughter of their housekeeper.
But he's promised to another heiress… Eun Sang is not supposed to be part of his world. Then again, when has forbidden love ever followed the rules?
Expect love triangles, betrayal and the kind of slow-burn tension that K-dramas do best, all now in isiZulu. Izidla Mafa isn't just about money and power; it's about who gets to write their own story. And this one's worth every episode.
