Choosing Spouse by Lottery is a drama with an interesting concept on Rakuten Viki. The show is completely fictional, but it proposes a Japanese society in which anyone from the ages 20-38 (who are not currently married) gets randomly matched with people from their age group.

Dangerless Detectives is one of the newest shows available on Rakuten Viki, as it was produced in September of 2020 (and only recently added to Viki).

Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa is a Japanese show on Rakuten Viki.
