  LHCb Collaboration studied the resonant structure of $B_s\to
\overline{D}^0K^-\pi^+$ decays using the Dalitz plot analysis technique, based
on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0{\rm
fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision. The $K^-\pi^+$ components have been analyzed in
the amplitude model, where the decay amplitude is modeled to be the resonant
contributions with respect to the intermediate resonances $K^*(892)$,
$K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_2^*(1430)$. Motivated by the experimental results, we
investigate the color-favored quasi-two-body $B \to \overline{D}^0K\pi$ decays
in the framework of the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. We calculate the the
branching fractions by introducing the appropriate wave functions of $K\pi$
pair. Our results are in agreement well the available data, and others can be
tested in LHCb and Belle-II experiments. Using the narrow-width-approximation,
we also extract the branching fractions of the corresponding two-body $B\to
\overline D R$ decays, which agree to the previous theoretical calculations and
the experimental data within the errors. There are no $CP$ asymmetries in these
decays in the standard model, because these decays are all governed by only the
tree operators.
