MX Player brings popular Korean dramas dubbed in Hindi to binge-watch free

MX Player, which already has a large catalogue of international shows, now brings popular and award-winning Korean dramas, dubbed in Hindi, to stream free on the app.

The wide variety of shows consists of different genres and angles from a medical procedural to a  corporate conspiracy, from family dramas to fantasy, adventure, and sci fi elements.

The popular shows on the platform include Heirs (2013), which follows two teens who meet up again in a high school attended by Korea's über rich after a chance encounter in LA; Pinocchio (2014), about two friends’ fight for justice starring Lee Jong-suk and Park Shin-hye; and Rich Man, a rom-com about an arrogant CEO of an IT company and his employee Kim Bo-ra, a smart girl from the countryside.

The other leading K-dramas are Doctor Stranger (2014), Kill Me Heal Me (2015), Goblin (2016), Dr Romantic (2016), I’m Not A Robot (2017), Doctor John (2019), Penthouse (2020) and Into The Ring (2020).

Mansi Shrivastav, senior vice-president and head of content acquisitions and alliances at MX Player, said, “The volume of content consumption on OTT has significantly increased over the last two years, not just in regional/local content, but also for international shows that we localize and dub in Indian languages for our large audience base at MX.

“One big obsession/major trend we see today is the love and craze for K-dramas that have all the makings of an entertainment potboiler dressed up in sharp production design and fresh, well-written narratives. We are delighted to share that MX VDesi will continue to offer Korean shows that have gained popularity and been loved by global audiences, along with new releases that are in the pipeline,” she added.
