Apple TV+ is one of the latest streaming giants to cash in on the global success of K-dramas with a new sci-fi thriller titled “Dr. Brain” debuting on the platform next week.

More info: The six-episode series features Lee Sun-kyun, who is known to international audiences for his role as Park Dong-Ik in Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning film “Parasite.”

The story follows Lee’s character, a brain surgeon, who goes to extraordinary lengths to uncover the truth about a mysterious accident his family suffered from.
Actors Lee You-young, Park Hee-soon, Seo Ji-hye and Lee Jae-won will also star in the show.
Executive produced, written and directed by Kim Jee-woon, “Dr. Brain” is based on a popular Korean webtoon by Hongjacga, according to Deadline.
The series, filmed entirely in Korean, accompanies the streaming platform’s official launch in South Korea, reports Ars Technica.
“Dr. Brain” is set to be released on Nov. 3 in the U.S. and Nov. 4 for global audiences.

Less than two weeks ago, Disney Plus announced its plans to add seven new Korean shows available for streaming including five K-dramas: “Rookies,” “Moving,” “Grid,” “Snowdrop” and “Sixth Sense Kiss.” One of the dramas, “Snowdrop,” featuring Jisoo from Blackpink, was trending on Twitter after a teaser trailer of the singer’s first romance drama was released.
