Disney+ has unveiled a striking new poster for its upcoming original series Made in Korea, heightening anticipation for what promises to be one of the most gripping K-dramas of the year. The series, set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1970s, stars Hyun Bin and Jung Woo Sung in a tense battle of ambition, morality, and fate.
At the heart of Made in Korea lies the clash between two powerful figures. Hyun Bin takes on the role of Baek Ki Tae, a man consumed by his hunger for wealth and influence. As a department head within the National Intelligence Service, Baek Ki Tae wields authority but chooses to exploit it, treating the nation itself as a business tool to secure his own rise. His character embodies the darker side of ambition, where power is pursued at any cost.
Opposite him stands Jung Woo Sung as Jang Geon Young, a prosecutor whose piercing gaze and unwavering determination define his mission. Jang Geon Young is a man who sacrifices everything in his pursuit of justice, refusing to let go once he has locked onto his target. His relentless drive sets him on a collision course with Baek Ki Tae, promising a confrontation that will shake the foundations of their world.
The newly released poster captures this tension with haunting precision. Baek Ki Tae’s face dominates the image, his eyes smoldering with desire, while the interplay of light and shadow hints at the cold, ruthless side of his character. In contrast, Jang Geon Young stares forward with a piercing intensity, embodying the single-minded resolve of a prosecutor unwilling to compromise.
Adding to the intrigue is the tagline: “In the name of my father, everyone bet their fate.” This chilling line foreshadows the inevitable clash between the two men and the deadly web of relationships entangled in ambition, loyalty, and betrayal. It suggests that the series will not only explore personal rivalries but also the generational struggles and sacrifices that define the era.
Directed with cinematic flair and anchored by two of Korea’s most celebrated actors, Made in Korea promises to deliver a blend of political intrigue, psychological tension, and emotional depth. The series will premiere with two episodes on December 24, followed by another two on December 31. The remaining episodes will then be released sequentially, ensuring a steady build-up of suspense as the story unfolds.
With its powerful performances, evocative setting, and thought-provoking themes, Made in Korea is poised to be a must-watch drama that captures both the intensity of the 1970s and the timeless struggle between ambition and justice.
