This Korean content licensing catalogue lists properties for buyers across international markets. Availability, permitted uses, territories and terms are confirmed with the authorised rights holder for each title. It is organised by category and property, and it sits alongside two other pages: the Korean film remakes catalogue, which lists feature films and remake-led titles, and the Korea content aggregator India service, which starts from a buyer’s brief rather than a named title. Enquiries are welcome from any territory; that does not mean worldwide rights are available for every title.
How availability works. Contact Global Producers to enquire about any title below. Territory, language, media, term and the requested rights are confirmed individually with the relevant rights holder before any terms are proposed. Remake and format rights require separate confirmation from finished-programme licensing, and a listing here does not state that a particular right is available in any given territory. Specifications are as listed in the current catalogue; exceptions specific to a title are noted beside it. Screeners and materials are released to qualified buyers where the rights holder authorises it.
Korean Drama Series for Licensing and Adaptation
Korean drama licensing runs on two routes: the finished series for platform or broadcast supply, in original language with subtitles or dubbed, or a scripted format for an Indian version with new cast, language and episode count. The enquiry should distinguish finished-programme licensing from adaptation or format rights, because the permissions and authorised parties may differ. For Korean content remakes, enquire about adaptation rights separately from rights to distribute or exhibit the original production. Recent and mid-length series first; an earlier library follows in a table.

How Korean Content Licensing Works Through This Catalogue
An enquiry names the title, the right sought (finished-programme licence, scripted or unscripted format, or adaptation), the territory and languages, the media and windows, and the intended platform or broadcaster. Global Producers qualifies the buyer, confirms with the rights holder whether that right is open for the requested territory and on what general terms, and, where authorised, arranges screeners or materials. Commercial discussion and contracting then run with the rights holder and the parties’ counsel, coordinated through our Korean film agency in India. The agreement should confirm which music and third-party clearances are included and whether any additional permissions are needed for the intended use; see music and clip licensing in India.
Global Producers coordinates sourcing and licensing enquiries. Availability and any authority to negotiate or represent a title are confirmed individually; the value of enquiring through this catalogue is qualified sourcing, a correctly framed approach and deal coordination, with India-side support where the buyer or production is Indian. For an open brief where no title has been chosen, start with the Korea content aggregator service.
