Hyun Bin is back and fans couldn’t be more excited. He’s making his K-drama comeback after six long years, and the buzz around him is huge. On September 10, OSEN reported that Disney+ has already confirmed a second season of Made in Korea, even before the first season has premiered. The series stars Hyun Bin and Jung Woo Sung, will be written by Park Eun Kyo and Park Joon Seok, and directed by Woo Min Ho. Sources from the studio say preparations for season two are already in motion.
Made in Korea has grabbed attention as Hyun Bin’s return to K-dramas after his smash-hit role as Ri Jeong Hyeok in Crash Landing on You. Fans are also excited about his on-screen pairing with Jung Woo Sung, which has been highly anticipated. The series follows Baek Ki Tae, played by Hyun Bin, a man driven by ambition for wealth and power. He comes up against prosecutor Jang Geon Young, played by Jung Woo Sung, who is determined to stop him at all costs. Their battle of wits and will in the 1970s sets the stage for a tense and gripping story.
The show is actually a spin-off of director Woo Min Ho’s 2018 crime film, which focused on a Busan drug lord building his empire through diamond smuggling and illegal trades. Made in Korea adapts that gritty world for television, giving viewers a look at crime, power, and ambition in that era. Disney+ is counting on the series to be a major draw for the platform in the final months of the year, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Hyun Bin back in action.
