"The Good Doctor," a US remake of the Korean series of the same name, will be broadcast in Korea on the cable channel AXN later this month, the channel said Tuesday.

The series will premiere at 10 p.m. on Sept. 28 on the Sony Pictures-owned channel and will have Korean subtitles.

The original South Korean show aired on KBS 2TV from August to November 2013. The show, starring Joo Won, Moon Chae-won and Joo Sang-wook, centered on a young autistic savant surgeon who is recruited into the surgical unit of a prestigious hospital.

Meanwhile, the US remake will go on air Sept. 25 on ABC, becoming the first remake from South Korean source material to get primetime treatment.

The drama, originally planned for 13 episodes, might be extended depending on viewer ratings. (Yonhap)
