Indian adaptation of Korean webtoon 'Here We Go Again' debuts

An Indian adaptation of Go Eun’s webtoon has debuted as the series “Love Always” on JioHotstar.

Directed by Madhumita Sundararaman, it stars Gouri G Kishan, Ramzan Muhammed, Jayaprakash and Jayasudha.

It is the first Korean webtoon adaptation made in India.

The original webtoon ran from 2015 to 2017 and drew more than 200 million views; its story follows a married couple given the chance to become young again after 60 years together without love.

Go believes the story’s focus on family may have resonated with Indian audiences, where she says those values remain part of society.

The adaptation brings Korean comics to a new audience as the medium seeks wider international reach.

Go is preparing a new series and hopes Korean webtoons will find a global breakthrough similar to Korean music and films.
