Kim Jee Woon, called the master of genres, has produced highly-acclaimed movies like A Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life, The Good, the Bad, the Weird, and The Age of Shadows. For the first time in 23 years of his career, Kim directed a TV series. Kim sharced, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve only made movies, and this is my first TV series. IŌĆÖm both excited and worried. I worked on it, thinking that IŌĆÖm making my debut.ŌĆØ Then how did he describe his new project? ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a series that canŌĆÖt be explained with one word. ItŌĆÖs a thriller that unfolds in a unique way. He (the main character) approaches the truth by unraveling the mystery about a terrible and unfortunate accident that happened to him. You could say that itŌĆÖs a family mystery or SF thriller. In a way, itŌĆÖs also a brain-chasing or memory-chasing series.ŌĆØ Parasite actor Lee Sun Kyun plays Go Se Won, a genius brain scientist who cannot empathize with other peopleŌĆÖs emotions. ŌĆ£The biggest reason I chose the project is director Kim Jee Woon,ŌĆØ the actor shared. ŌĆ£I also enjoyed the script. It dealt with a unique material that I had not seen in Korea before.ŌĆØ He added, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a mystery thriller, but it also paints out family love. ItŌĆÖs a series that starts cold but finishes hot.ŌĆØ
Dr. Brain will be released on Apple TV around the world on November 4th. ŌĆ£Since Korean content is receiving much love and attention, it is a great honor to have the work released on a global platform. I want to contribute to Korean content gaining more popularity,ŌĆØ Lee said. ŌĆ£This series is director Kim Jee WoonŌĆÖs first drama and Apple TV PlusŌĆÖs first original Korean series. So itŌĆÖs different from other works released in OTT platforms and has more meanings.ŌĆØ
