Turkey’s MF Yapim to Remake Korean Drama Doctor Cha

Turkey’s MF Yapim has clinched a deal to adapt the Korean drama Doctor Cha.

Asena Bulbuloglu, general manager of MF Yapim, noted: “Since its establishment, our company has successfully adapted many Korean formats in Turkey and exported them to many countries. We hope to achieve the same success with Doctor Cha, our first agreement with SLL, and wish it will be the first of many to follow.”

Produced SLL and streamed on Netflix, the series focuses on a middle-aged housewife as she returns to her medical career, following as she embarks on the first year of her residency at a hospital where her husband works.

Charles Park, senior VP of the content business at SLL, added: “We are excited to see a Turkish version of one of our most successful series this year and hope to extend this opportunity to see more international adaptations of our formats.”
