Indian series based on Korean webtoon set to debut in second half of year

The first-ever Indian series based on a Korean webtoon is set to premiere in the second half of this year, its production company, Kross Pictures, said Thursday.

Titled “Love Always,” the series is based on the Kakao webtoon “Here We Go Again” (2015-17) by Goeun. The webtoon follows an elderly married couple who both turn back into 17-year-olds, gaining a chance to relive their youth.

Filming for the series wrapped on April 2, the production company said.

The series will be available on the Indian streaming platform JioHotstar.

First launched in 2003 in Los Angeles as Kross Entertainment LLC and in 2004 in Korea as Kross Pictures, the company was behind series such as “Cheese in the Trap” (2016) and “Business Proposal” (2022).

It established an Indian corporation in 2015 and has worked on projects such as “Janne Jaan” (2023) and “Oh! Baby” (2019), a remake of the Korean film “Miss Granny” (2014).
