Originally produced by the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), this series has become a true global phenomenon. We’ve seen successful adaptations pop up everywhere from the United States, Japan, and Turkey to Hong Kong. It’s time for the Philippines to tell this heartfelt story through our unique lens.
Leading this highly anticipated local series is the incredibly talented Inigo Pascual. He’ll be taking on the titular role as Dong, a young doctor living with savant syndrome.
This isn’t just about medicine; Dong’s journey is a powerful narrative of resilience, deep empathy, and that unique, undeniable Filipino capacity for finding hope even when things get tough. I honestly can’t wait to see Inigo bring his own brand of earnestness and talent to this complex character.
The Philippine adaptation is a premium collaboration project brought to you by two major forces: CreaZion Studios and MediaQuest.
