Hyun Bin, Jung Woo-sung return for deeper conflict in 'Made in Korea' Season 2

The Disney+ original drama "Made in Korea" is set to return for its second season, promising an even more intense storyline than its debut. This time, the series will transition from an episodic format to a single, continuous narrative spanning six episodes. The move comes nine years after the conclusion of the first season, placing the drama against the political turmoil that preceded the Dec. 12 military coup of 1979.

Season 2 centers around the power vacuum that emerged following the assassination of the president. Unlike the episodic nature of the first season, where each episode told a distinct story, the second season delivers one cohesive plot that propels viewers through Episodes 1 to 6 in a swift, immersive manner. Director Woo Min-ho revealed these details during a news conference at the Conrad Seoul hotel, noting that fans can expect a more gripping and adult-driven experience compared to the first season.

Woo Min-ho highlighted that while the first season felt like a battle between young, spirited characters, Season 2 resembles a clash between mature, powerful figures. The series aims to capture the complexity and intensity of Korea's political landscape during a crucial historical period.
