The popular Korean drama “Good Doctor” will be remade by ABC in the United States.

KBS America said, “ABC has decided to create an American pilot version of a remake of ‘Good Doctor.’” The drama, which aired on KBS2 in 2013, is a human medical drama which starred Joo Won, Moon Chae-won and Ju Sang-uk.

CBS, another US network, was considering the remake of the drama in August 2014 but the plan was killed off.

The American version of “Good Doctor” will be written by the creator of “House David Shore” and produced by Sony Pictures.

“Unlike the previous script for the CBS program, the original script will mostly be used for the remake program this time,” an official from KBS America said. “We wish for a broader audience to experience the unique Korean drama culture.”
