JTBC’s
hit
drama
Something
In
The
Rain,
also
called
as
Pretty
Noona
Who
Buys
Me
Food,
is
all
set
to
be
adapted
for
an
Indian
OTT
series.
The
news
was
confirmed
by
the
show’s
studio
in
collaboration
with
Pocket
Aces,
India’s
largest
digital
entertainment
company.
The
Family
Man
3:
Manoj
Bajpayee
To
Begin
Filming
By
2022
End?
Jung
Kyung
Moon,
the
CEO
of
JTBC
Studio,
commented,
“I
am
happy
to
present
the
drama
‘Pretty
Noona
Who
buys
Me
Food’
as
a
remake
to
Indian
viewers.
This
collaboration
will
serve
as
an
important
opportunity
for
JTBC
Studio
to
take
its
first
step
in
the
dynamic
Indian
market.”
Reportedly,
with
soaring
interest
in
Korean
dramas
in
India,
JTBC
Studio
will
be
exploring
procuring
shows
in
the
Indian
market.
Remakes
of
Korean
films
like
The
Man
from
Nowhere
and
Ode
to
My
Father
have
previously
found
success
on
the
big
screen.
While
The
Man
from
Nowhere
was
adapted
into
Rocky
Handsome
starring
John
Abraham,
Ode
to
My
Father
was
remade
by
Salman
Khan
Films
and
T-series
in
2019.
Meanwhile,
Aditi
Shrivastava,
Co-founder
&
CEO,
Pocket
Aces
added,
“The
key
for
a
successful
remake
is
maintaining
the
soul
of
the
story
and
characters
while
localising
plot
points
and
motivations.
Korea
and
India
have
very
similar
hearts
–
the
societal
and
familial
structures
are
quite
alike.
This
makes
the
content
ripe
for
adaptation.
Something
In
The
Rain
is
my
personal
favourite
K-drama,
and
I
look
forward
to
making
one
of
India’s
most
sought
after
franchises.”
The
makers
are
yet
to
confirm
the
cast
and
director
of
the
Indian
adaptation.
Notably,
the
2018
drama,
which
is
currently
available
to
stream
on
Netflix
India,
stars
Son
Ye
Jin
as
Yoon
Jin
Ah
and
Jung
Hae
In
as
Seo
Joon
Hee.
The
show
follows
Yoon
Jin
Ah,
an
older
woman
who
falls
in
love
with
her
best
friend’s
younger
brother
Seo
Joon
Hee.
The
16-episode
web
series
explores
the
story
of
two
childhood
friends
who
meet
after
years
and
fall
in
love
with
each
other.
