Now in production in South Korea and set to debut later this year, "Dr. Brain" is an emotional journey that 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.
"Dr. Brain" is one of several Apple Original international dramas coming to Apple TV+. Apple is also working on "Pachinko," "Masters of the Air," "Slow Horses," "Shantaram," "Echo 3," "Acapulco," and other shows.

Glad to see this happening. Hopefully we'll get shows from Japan/China/Taiwan/India etc too.
My favorite webcomic adaptation is The Sound of Your Heart. Takes a little to adjust to the comedy but it leaves you wanting more. I think it’s still on Netflix.
Some will trash this because it requires reading. Their loss, I suspect (Parasite was amazing).
