Hyderabad: Korean dramas or K-dramas have taken India by storm ever since the country went into one of the world’s strictest coronavirus lockdowns last year.
According to a Netflix report, between 2019 and 2020, viewership of K-dramas in India had increased by 370 per cent. Between March 2020 and March 2021, six K-dramas, including the second season of Kingdom, It’s Okay To Not Be Okay, and Crash Landing On You, were on Netflix’s “Top 10 Trending” list.
For many, the affair began with one of the 500 Korean offerings available on Netflix: Boys Over Flowers, Descendants of the Sun, Reply 1988, Kingdom, and Sky Castle.
According to fans, K-dramas are better than Indian soaps since they are not too long, not too short. There are usually only 16-20 episodes. The shows look very Indian in their mood and emotions.
India’s Zee Group-owned satellite service provider Dish TV launched a daily package for 1.3 rupees (less than 2 cents) where customers could access Korean dramas dubbed in Hindi. Popular streaming platform MX Player offered K-dramas dubbed in Hindi and two regional languages, Tamil and Telugu.
Amazon Prime too recently caught the K-wave in India announcing ten Korean shows including popular titles like True Beauty, The Penthouse, and Mr. Queen, which are not available on Netflix.
