The Korean Webtoon DR. BRAIN Is Getting a Live-Action Adaptation at Apple
Apple is set to produce a live-action series adaptation of the Korean webtoon Dr. Brain. This show will be the first Korean-language project to be developed at Apple.
I’m not familiar with the webtoon, but the story 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.”
That certainly sounds like an interesting and unique concept. The series will be written and directed by Kim Jee-Woon (I Saw The Devil, The Good The Bad The Weird) and Parasite star Lee Sun-Kyun is set to star. The series is currently in production in South Korea and is set to premiere later this year.
I’m a fan of Kim Jee-Woon’s film work. He’s super talented, and the fact that he’s developing this project is exciting. I’m confident that he’s going to end up doing a great job bringing this story to life for audiences.
