Here We Go Again, a romantic fantasy webtoon by Korean creator Go Eun, has gained a new audience in India. A locally produced adaptation titled Love Always was released on JioHotstar, one of India's major streaming platforms, on Friday. Directed by Madhumita Sundararaman and starring Indian actors Gouri G Kishan, Ramzan Muhammed, Jayaprakash, and Jayasudha, the series marks the first Korean webtoon adaptation in India. The original webtoon ran on Kakao's platform from 2015 to 2017, garnering over 200 million views.
The Korea Times interviewed Go Eun about the adaptation and her aspirations for Korean comics' global reach. Upon learning that her work was being adapted for Indian audiences around 2020 or 2021, Go Eun expressed a mix of surprise and astonishment. She was fascinated yet also taken aback by the news. The romantic webtoon follows a married couple who, after sixty years of togetherness without love, are given a chance to turn back time and regain their youth.
