Tamil series 'Love Always' on JioHotstar: a couple turns back into their younger selves

Love Always, a Tamil series streaming on JioHotstar, puts a long-married couple back into their younger bodies. The eight-episode show, directed by Madhumita, is an Indian adaptation of the Korean webtoon Here We Go Again. Two reviews published on 30 October and 1 November 2026 describe the premise and give mixed verdicts.

The story begins when Manjula, played by Jayasudha, tells her husband Kannan, played by Jayaprakash, that she has had enough of their 42-year-old marriage. Her decision comes just as the family prepares a ceremony to renew the couple's wedding vows. A meddling sorcerer, played by Mu Ramaswamy, and Kannan's former lover, Meera, played by Maya S Krishnan, then pull the couple into a supernatural game. A powerful spell returns them to their younger selves, played by Gouri Kishan and Ramzan Muhammed, while their distrust of each other stays intact.

The premise

One review said the show's title gives away its biggest clue. It described the series as a vampire-style tale without the blood-sucking, complicated by the couple's sons, Gautham and Vignesh. The second review said the setup is appealing: a person in their sixties with a body that ages backwards by 40 years, free of ailments like diabetes and bad knees. In the series, the couple do not travel in time. They become their 20-year-old selves while staying in the present day, and they must live as young adults again.

Reviewers' verdicts

The first reviewer said the characters' attempts to mend ties raise questions about whether Manjula can forgive a husband who keeps behaving badly. The second reviewer was less kind, saying that both the magic and the logic of the show lose their hold. The headline of that review described it as an unimpressive fantasy drama. Neither review's verdict is a view idly has formed, and idly has not watched the series.

The series is available to stream on JioHotstar, which is where viewers in India can watch it. Reviews of this kind are opinions from the critics who wrote them.
