Two big Korean Dramas named Dr Romantic Season 3 and Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 recently ended. Kdrama fans got treated with two big dramas last week – King the Land and See You in My 19th Life. Both are romantic comedies with an amazing star cast with a great fan following. So far, 2 episodes of both dramas have been released. Sadly, Indian fans are upset because the shows are unavailable on Netflix India yet.
When Will King the Land Release on Netflix India?

The decision to release Korean dramas late and not in their original language has disappointed many Kdrama fans in India. Some took to their Twitter page to express their disappointment. They’ve tagged the OTT platform in their tweets, asking and requesting them to drop the episodes in the original language with English subtitles.

In the past, Netflix India has always released the Kdramas simultaneously with their release on the original TV channels. The dramas would drop into the Korean language with English subtitles. Hence, the decision has come as a shocker to many Indian fans. Some of the Kdramas that have become a huge hit in the past are Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Hospital Playlist, Twenty-Five Twenty One, Business Proposal, Extraordinary Attorney Woo and more.
