Meanwhile, Something in the Rain or Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food, revolves around a woman (Son Ye-jin) who falls in love with her friend’s younger brother (Jung Hae-in). The term Noona in Korea refers to elder sister. The series is also streaming on Netflix. Pocket Aces, on the other hand, is known for the series Little Things.
The popularity of Korean content is increasing in India with each passing day. A spokesperson from Netflix, which hosts several K-Dramas, had said earlier, “People are inherently culturally curious, intrigued by stories from around the world. And an authentically told story will resonate with viewers around the world. The ever-growing fandom of Korean stories and characters in India is testament to that. With subtitles and dubs, the language barrier has lowered, and our members have discovered and enjoyed authentic K content.”
