Jayaprakash on 'Love Always': Tamil OTT's first Korean webtoon adaptation
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Veteran Tamil actor Jayaprakash is set to headline 'Love Always', an upcoming Tamil-language web series that marks a milestone as the first Korean webtoon adaptation in the Tamil originals space. The series, which streams on JioHotstar, blends South Korean storytelling sensibilities with the cultural warmth and humour of Tamil narratives — anchored by a central age-reversal premise that the actor says carries emotions every family will recognise.
The premise and its novelty
Based on the Korean webtoon 'Here We Go Again', 'Love Always' centres on an age-reversal twist wrapped inside a light-hearted family entertainer. The teaser, unveiled on Monday, 6 October 2025, offered audiences the first look at a story that fuses romance, inter-generational comedy and heartfelt relationships into a single quirky narrative. The Korean-to-Tamil adaptation brings with it a storytelling format largely new to the Tamil originals landscape.
What Jayaprakash said about the show
Jayaprakash described the show as fundamentally a story about human connection rather than a high-concept sci-fi exercise. 'For me, Love Always is ultimately a story about relationships and the bonds that hold a family together. The age-reversal premise gives the narrative a fresh and entertaining treatment, but the emotions at its core are universal. There is humour, warmth, conflict and a lot of heart in the story. I believe audiences will see reflections of their own families and relationships in the characters, while also enjoying the unexpected situations they find themselves in,' the actor said.
Cast voices and character perspectives
The series also features Gouri G. Kishan, Ramzan Muhammed, Jayasudha and Maya Krishnan. Gouri G. Kishan described the project as 'a beautiful blend of humour, emotion and relationships, told through a premise that is both unusual and incredibly relatable.' She added that the age-reversal element brings fun to the surface while a deeper story of 'love, family, regrets and second chances' runs underneath.
Ramzan Muhammed, who plays a character named Kannan, said the show taps into a universal fantasy: 'I think we've all wondered what it would be like to go back to our younger selves and do things the way we wanted. Love Always explores what that might feel like.' He called being part of a Korean-origin concept adapted into Tamil storytelling 'a wonderful experience.'
Why this adaptation matters
The Tamil OTT space has steadily expanded its appetite for international format adaptations, but a Korean webtoon — a distinctly digital comic form that has spawned global hits — arriving in Tamil originals is a first. The project signals growing cross-cultural content ambition on Indian streaming platforms, particularly as Korean IP continues to command global fandom. 'Love Always' is set to stream on JioHotstar.
