Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Deadline reports that Apple TV+ is moving into Korean-language originals with a series based on a popular webtoon Dr. Brain, to be directed by Kim Jee-Woon (I Saw The Devil), and starring Lee Sun-Kyun (Parasite).

Here's the official synopsis:

Dr. Brain follows a brain scientist who is obsessive about figuring out new technologies to access the consciousness and memories of the brain. His life goes sideways when his family falls victim to a mysterious accident, and he uses his skills to access memories from his wife’s brain to piece together the mystery of what actually happened to his family and why.

The series, which is currently in production and is set to launch later this year, comes from YG-owned Studioplex, Bound Entertainment, launched by Snowpiercer producer Samuel Ha, Kakao Entertainment and Dark Circle Pictures.
