Kim also expressed that he’s thrilled to be premiering in an episode that will be directed by the program’s star, Freddie Highmore.
Though he’d helmed one installment of Bates Motel, Highmore has not directed an episode of the medical drama to date, but did write the Season 2 premiere “Hello.”
Apparently, Daniel Dae Kim had been looking for a spot to appear on The Good Doctor for a while now, saying in a released statement that Dr. Han is a “dynamic and surprising” character that’s a perfect fit.
