CBS TV Network To Remake KBS Drama ‘Good Doctor’

CBS TV Network is fine tuning the details to air a remake version of the KBS 2 TV drama "Good Doctor," which aired last year featuring actor Joo Won. Daniel Dae Kim, an actor and CEO of the TV show production company 3AD, said on an interview at the 2014 Seoul Digital Forum on May 22, 2014, that the company is "in the process of fine tuning the details with CBS on remaking 'Good Doctor.'"

Daniel Dae Kim added, "There are plenty of medical TV shows in the United States, but we expect the depth of the characters' stories in dramas like 'Good Doctor' will also sell in the American market." This is not the first time Korean dramas have been remade in the United States. Last year, cable channel tvN's drama "Nine" was confirmed to produce a remake version of the show in the United States.

KBS 2 TV drama "Good Doctor" aired last fall, and tells a story of a genius pediatrician Park Shi On, played by Joo Won, who suffers from the savant syndrome.
