Guess who’s jumping in on the Korean entertainment bandwagon?
Apple TV+ released the first official glimpse of Dr. Brain, their first-ever Korean language original series.
The show stars some of the biggest Korean entertainment names – the legendary filmmaker Kim Jee-woon, Parasite actor Lee Sun-kyun and media company Kakao Entertainment.
The streaming giant, which is slowly on the rise globally, announced the release date for Dr. Brain to coincide with the service’s launch in Korea. Apple TV and Apple TV 4K will be released in Korea on November 4, 2021.
The first Apple Original show to greet Korean viewers will be Dr. Brain, a thrilling sci-fi story about a brain scientist.
The trailer shows the scientists’ slow descent into madness as he tries to uncover the truth behind his family’s tragic accident.
Dr. Brain revolves around a genius scientist who conducts various studies and is borderline obsessive about figuring out how the memories in the human brain work.
After a fatal and mysterious accident involving his wife and son, the doctor takes it upon himself to find out the truth.
He conducts “brain syncs” with the deceased, unearthing their memories to know what happened. However, things start getting messy as the deceased’s memories take over him in the form of hallucinations.

Meanwhile, Dr. Brain is written, directed and executive produced by the visionary filmmaker Kim Jee-woon (I Saw The Devil, The Tale of Two Sisters). It stars the Parasite actor Lee Sun-kyun, along with Seo Ji-hye, Park Hee-soon, and more.
The show is based on a popular South Korean webtoon of the same name, created by Hogjacga. It will have six episodes and will be released from November 4 to December 10, 2021, weekly.
Apple TV+ also has another highly-anticipated K-drama up its sleeve – Lee Min-ho’s Pachinko – which stars the award-winning Minari actress Youn Yuh-jung.
Meanwhile, Apple TV+ will launch in South Korea on November 4, aiming to grab a strong grasp onto the ever-rising Hallyu wave.
