The newly released K-drama spy romance series Tempest premiered on Disney+ on September 10 and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and viewers. Even on Rotten Tomatoes, the series boasts a “fresh” 100% score. With the growing K-drama fanbase in India, demand for Tempest on JioHotstar is also on the rise.
A significant section of JioHotstar users has been calling for the platform to stream Tempest. However, it seems that JioHotstar does not currently hold the rights to air the series in India. Whether this situation changes in the coming days remains to be seen.
The series follows Mun-ju (Jun Ji-hyun), a skilled UN ambassador, and San-ho (Gang Dong-won), a mysterious international special agent. Together, they investigate a dangerous attack that could destabilize the Korean Peninsula.
Some reports initially suggested that Tempest would be available on JioHotstar, but its premiere on Disney+ has caused confusion and frustration. This situation underscores the complicated nature of international content distribution and how platforms compete for regional streaming rights.
For now, Tempest remains a Disney+ exclusive. Still, the rising chorus of JioHotstar users demanding access raises a key question: could fan pressure push the platform to acquire the rights for streaming in India?
As demand continues to build, one thing is certain: Tempest is a big hit. The question now isn’t about its quality but about its accessibility, and whether India’s K-drama fans will soon be able to watch this critically acclaimed series on JioHotstar. Stay tuned for more updates.
Check out these tweets from Indian K-drama fans who want to watch Tempest on JioHotstar.
Hearing good reviews for the new kdrama #Tempest but it still doesn't seem to be available for streaming in India think it's a jiohotstar thing.
