Apple TV’s entrance into the Korean market begins today, with the release of the Apple TV 4K, Apple TV app, and Apple TV+ streaming service in the region. To commemorate the launch, Apple TV+ is debuting its first Korean Apple Original, the sci-fi thriller ‘Dr Brain’. Here’s how to watch …
Today, on November 3, Apple TV+ is launching in Korea for the first time. The streaming service has been available in over 100 countries since its launch in 2019, but Korea was one of the excluded regions. However, to celebrate the launch in Korea, Apple is also timing the release of its first K-drama, called ‘Dr. Brain’.
Dr. Brain is a TV show (comprised of a six-episode first season) about a brain scientist called Sewon, played by actor Lee Sun-kyun.
Sewon’s family are mysteriously killed in a tragic accident. In order to find out what happened, Sewon connects to the brains of the dead with ‘brain syncs’ and relives their memories. However, this also has damaging ramifications to his own consciousness.
