The Story So Far: Recapping Season 1
Set against South Korea in the turbulent yet transformative 1970s, the story follows Baek Ki Tae (Hyun Bin), a man who seeks to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power by turning the nation itself into a profit model, and prosecutor Jang Geon Young (Jung Woo Sung), who relentlessly pursues him with fierce obsession. Their confrontation unfolds through massive, era-defining events.
Hyun Bin plays Baek Ki-tae, a high-ranking KCIA agent who exploits his position to amass power and wealth through illicit networks, while Jung Woo-sung portrays Jang Geon-yeong, a relentless prosecutor from the Busan District out to expose government and law enforcement corruption.
Disney+ confirmed the Season 2 renewal — a rare decision since K-dramas are typically miniseries. However, it seems that even the streamer sensed the show’s inevitable success, as Made in Korea became the number one most-viewed Korean Original premiere on Disney+ in Asia-Pacific markets.
What Happens in Season 2?
Made in Korea 2, set nine years after the Season 1 finale, follows Baek Ki Tae, now at the peak of power; Jang Geon Young, who has been preparing a counterattack; and Baek Ki Hyun (Woo Do Hwan), who is pursuing a different path to power from his older brother. Their ambitions spiral out of control, shaking things up and creating an irreversible rift.

Baek Kitae (Hyun Bin), having framed the one prosecutor he couldn’t buy, has risen to deputy director of the KCIA, growing his fortune and expanding his drug operations across the region. But as political turmoil spreads, his old nemesis Jang Geonyoung (Jung Woo-sung) steps out of the shadows to enact a carefully plotted revenge — with both men prepared to “break every rule and cross every line to eliminate the other once and for all.”
Hyun Bin vs Jung Woo Sung: The Ultimate Showdown
Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung’s hit cat-and-mouse thriller is entering its endgame.
Hyun Bin delivers a powerful performance that shows both charm and danger. Jung Woo Sung plays the determined prosecutor Jang Geon Young, representing justice and moral strength. His character is calm but strong, and he refuses to give up even when facing powerful enemies.
Season 2 promises to be the most explosive chapter yet — with nine years of accumulated tension, betrayal, and revenge finally set to erupt on screen.
