BOYS OVER FLOWERS TO KAISI YEH YAARIYAN

Nandhini as Geum Jan Di, a poor girl who transfers to an elite college and later gets involved with a group of rich kids. A love triangle and a group of close friends were both the essence of the show, the only difference is that in K-Drama it’s F4 whereas the Indian version has Fab-5.

HEIRS TO KAHANI HAMARI DIL DOSTI DEEWANEPAN KI

Another Lee Min Ho K-Drama inspired show, the essential idea and core of the story is the same as Heirs revolves around the four major characters Shivin, Gauri, Ahaan and Kia. In the Korean drama Park Shin Hye played the character of a poor girl who falls in love with a rich conglomerate’s son, while Gauri played the same role in the show’s Indian adaptation.

FLOWER OF EVIL TO DURANGA

The Indian adaptation of the Korean drama Flower of Evil, Duranga stars Drashti Dhami and Gulshan Devaiah. Even Actor Lee Joon Gi of Flower of Evil TVNE commented on the Duranga remake, writing: Happy to see you Indian friends.

SOMETHING IN THE RAIN TO LITTLE THINGS

The well known South Korean drama Something In The Rain starring Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin, got its remake as ‘Little Things’ of an Indian television series.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Even the hit show Business Proposal starring Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong, also got its Indian version in both Hindi and Telugu version.

THE OUTLAWS TO RADHE

Inspired from the Korean film The Outlaws released in 2017, Radhe did not perform well at the box office. The Outlaws was an R-rated crime action-thriller. It was a super duper hit, becoming one of the highest-grossing Korean films. On the contrary, Radhe is a tired, incoherent and pretty faithful Salman Khan starrer remake which even the fandom of Salman Khan could not save from being average.

LOVER’S CONCERTO TO BARFI

Inspired from the Korean film Lover’s Concerto released in 2002, Barfi became one of the most appreciated, highly anticipated, super-hit Bollywood films. Although it was a copy of the South Korean movie, this Hindi remake won the hearts of audiences and critics alike with the splendid performances of the stars.

THE TERROR LIVE TO DHAMAKA

Inspired from the Korean movie The Terror Live released in 2013, Dhamaka received an average response at the box office and from viewers and critics alike. The Hindi remake did justice to the original Korean film and the acting of Kartik Aaryan as a journalist was much appreciated.
