Disney+ officially announced on August 29 that the highly anticipated series ‘Made in Korea’ will be released. Along with the announcement, the streaming platform also unveiled the star-studded cast for the show. ‘Made in Korea’ portrays the story of Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin) and Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung) during the chaotic 1970s. Baek Ki-tae, driven by his desire for wealth and power, and Jang Geon-young, a prosecutor who sacrifices everything to stop him, are at the center of the series. Through their journey, the show sheds light on significant events of that era.
The first series directed by Woo Min-ho, known for his exceptional perspective on contemporary Korean history in films such as ‘The Insiders’, ‘The Drug King’, and ‘Harbin’, is marked by the label ‘Made in Korea’. The production is being handled by Hive Media Corp, which has previously produced notable works including ‘The Insiders’, ‘The Drug King’, ‘Deliver Us from Evil’, ‘Spring in Seoul’, and ‘Handsome Guys’.
Hyun Bin has been cast as Baek Ki-tae, a man with a strong drive for wealth and power. Meanwhile, Jung Woo-sung will take on the role of Jang Geon-young, a prosecutor known for his animal-like instincts and unwavering determination. The highly anticipated drama also features Seo Eun-soo as investigator Oh Ye-jin, Jo Yeo-jung as Bae Geum-ji, and Jung Sung-il as Chief Secretary Cheon Seok-jung. This talented and diverse cast only adds to the excitement surrounding the show.
