American actor Daniel Dae Kim will produce an adaptation of the Korean medical drama "Good Doctor," reports said.
The Korean-born Kim, known for his roles on "Lost" and "Hawaii Five-0," has partnered with American broadcaster CBS for the drama's debut.
"There's something that Korean TV does that no other country does - the way they portray heartbreak and melodrama," Kim told The Hollywood Reporter in May.
"In America, there are more serialized dramas and there can be room for something inspired by Korean TV, because I believe good content can transcend cultural barriers," he added.
The adapted drama revolves around a pediatric surgeon in Boston with Asperger syndrome.
Good Doctor aired on Korean broadcaster KBS last year.
