New Delhi: In a captivating move that has stunned Japanese audiences, the new romantic drama series Eye Love You has abandoned the traditional format of providing Japanese subtitles for its Korean dialogue.
The innovative decision to present scenes with their original Korean audio has triggered a remarkable response. Reports indicate a substantial increase in Japanese viewers seeking to learn Korean. Many are turning to online resources, particularly YouTube, where various channels are dedicated to translating and analyzing the Korean dialogue in ‘Eye Love You’.
With ‘Eye Love You’ as a frontrunner, it will be intriguing to observe how this unique format influences the landscape of Japanese television and language learning in the coming months.
Plotline
Following an unfortunate accident, the protagonist, Yuri Motomiya, uncovers a mysterious ability: the capacity to hear the unfiltered thoughts of others through eye contact. This telepathic ability unwittingly exposes her to the painful truth of people’s emotions, causing her to retreat into her own shell. Uncovering others’ genuine feelings retreats her from social interactions and avoids relationships, as she fears getting hurt. She wants to be in a relationship, yet she resists it, choosing instead to live in solitude, shielding herself from the vulnerabilities of love.
Yuri’s world changes when she crosses paths with Yoon Tae Oh, a youthful Korean student. His radiant charm and gentle nature captivate those around him, earning him adoration for his innocence and unadulterated love. When Yuri accidentally locks eyes with him, she hears his inner voice, in Korean. This unexpected connection with Tae Oh reignites a flicker of hope within Yuri, challenging her belief that love is beyond her reach.

Exciting news for Indian viewers – the series will also debut on Netflix in India on February 22, 2024, offering more audiences the opportunity to enjoy this captivating show.
