'Made In Korea' production site revealed.
On the 17th, Disney+ original series 'Made In Korea' released a production video along with points of anticipation.
#1. Made In characters: a densely plotted story of ambition-filled characters!
In the 1970s, when chaos and leap coexist in Korea, the story follows company man 'Baek Gi-tae' (Hyun Bin), who seeks to make the state a revenue model to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power, and prosecutor 'Jang Geon-young' (Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues him to the brink with terrifying obsession. The first point of anticipation for 'Made In Korea' is a densely plotted story that captures meticulous relationships and tense confrontations between characters tangled by desire.
As writer Park Eun-kyo said that these are characters who can collide at full power, the heated clashes of ambition-filled characters give tension throughout the series and promise relentless entertainment. In addition, the actors said, "This is probably the most directly expressive role of desire among the roles I have played so far" (Hyun Bin), "the worldview of the script and the tension between characters that unfolds within it" (Jung Woo-sung), and "who would refuse such an attractive character?" (Kang Gil-woo), heightening expectations for the intense energy and three-dimensional narrative created by characters' colliding desires.
#2. Made In director: director Woo Min-ho's prowess that created a distinctive hybrid genre!
The second point of anticipation for 'Made In Korea' is that it is director Woo Min-ho's first OTT series, who demonstrated sharp insight into Korea's modern history through films such as Harbin, The Man Standing Next, and Inside Men. This work, which fully applies Woo Min-ho's know-how—solid script construction honed through substantial work, tight direction, edgy mise-en-scène, and distinctive character building—promises a cinematic experience in which six episodes feel like six films. As the actors' deep trust shows—"There are so many times when he watches rehearsals on set and pinpoints something that solves the scene to the point of giving you goosebumps" (Jo Yeo-jung), "a truly creative director" (Park Yong-woo), and "the director seems to love this work more than anyone on set" (Woo Do-hwan)—expectations gather around Woo Min-ho's prowess in creating a distinctive hybrid genre.
#3. Made In history: perfectly realized that era through outstanding acting and meticulous verification!
The third point of anticipation for 'Made In Korea' is that outstanding acting and well-made production come together to perfectly realize the era. Director Woo Min-ho said, "I hope the colors and designs unique to that era are expressed so they don't look dated," and actor Noh Jae-won added, "I still remember the smells and the temperature. It was really cold, scary, and huge," and as such 'Made In Korea' not only adds vitality to the period setting through meticulously designed lighting and camera work based on thorough verification, but also successfully visualizes the intense clashes and desires among characters within expansive locations across and beyond Korea.
'Made In Korea' will be available exclusively on Disney+ starting on Wednesday the 24th with episodes 1 and 2 released simultaneously, and will meet viewers as a total of six episodes. <
