The Disney+ original series 'Made in Korea' Season 2, starring Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung, has been released, garnering significant attention both domestically and internationally. Following the successful conclusion of Season 1, which ranked #1 on Disney+ Korea and #3 globally for TV shows, expectations for Season 2 are high. Directed by Woo Min-ho, this period crime thriller set in 1970s Korea highlights the transformative performances of both actors.
Season 2 is set nine years after Season 1, intensifying the conflict between Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin), an intelligence agent and smuggler, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues him. The character Baek Ki-hyun, played by Woo Do-hwan, gains prominence, adding further tension, alongside a strong supporting cast including Seo Eun-soo, Won Ji-an, and Jung Sung-il. Director Woo Min-ho described Season 2 as having a larger scale and feeling more like an adult conflict than Season 1, with a continuous narrative from episode 1 to 6.
Bloggers note that Season 1 was the most-watched Disney+ Korean original worldwide and received critical acclaim, including Hyun Bin's Baeksang Arts Awards for Best Actor. Season 2, consisting of six episodes, began airing with its first two episodes on September 9th, followed by two episodes weekly. Its fast-paced narrative and lasting impact are enhancing viewer engagement, with particular anticipation for Jung Woo-sung's improved acting performance.
