Some kdramas on Hotstar like Jung Hae-in's Snowdrop and Lee Jong Suk’s Big Mouth are available to watch in Hindi and Korean languages. Fans flooded the comment section to express their desire to watch a Hindi-dubbed Vigilante.
One fan commented, “Hindi dubbed please with crying emojis.”While another said, “Korean drama in Hindi dubbed plzz”
Other users also demanded an English and Tamil version too. However, as the two pilot episodes aired today, it may have shattered the hearts of a few fans as the series premiered with only the original audio, i.e. Korean.
Fans were also quick to shower love to the pilot episodes and were overwhelmed with Nam Joo Hyuk's acting skills. One such fan took to X to express his excitement.
