The sci-fi drama marks the first Korean-language series to debut on Apple TV+. With the first episode premiering next week, Apple TV+ users can follow the show weekly until the last episode launches on December 10.
Alongside Lee Sun-Kyon, the series also stars Lee You-Young, Park Hee-soon, Seo Ji-Hye, and Lee Jaw-Won. Dr. Brain is written, directed, and executive produced by Kim Jee-Woon. Executive producers also include Samuel Yeunju Ha, and Jamie Yuan Lai for Bound Entertainment, Ham Jung Yeub, and Daniel Han for Antonio H.W. Lee. Kim Jin A and Koh YounJae also write. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Bound Entertainment, Kakao Entertainment, StudioPlex, and Dark Circle Pictures.
The series follows a brilliant brain scientist Sewon (LEE Sun-kyun) who suffers a horrific personal tragedy when his family falls victim to a mysterious accident. Desperate to uncover what happened, he goes to extraordinary lengths to solve the tragic mystery by conducting “brain syncs” with the dead to access their memories for clues.
