Disney+'s original series 〈Made in Korea〉 has released its second season through Episode 4, beginning Sept. 9. 〈Made in Korea〉 Season 2 is a noir drama about Baek Ki-tae's perilous journey as he careens toward even greater ambitions nine years later. With only Episodes 5 and 6 remaining, Cineplay editor-in-chief Joo Sung-chul shares his thoughts after watching 〈Made in Korea〉 Season 2 so far.
Joo Sung-chul / ★★★★ / Baek Ki-tae and Jang Geon-young are ultimately the same kind of people: Each firmly believed he was doing the right thing
Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin) eats jjajangmyeon, while Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung) eats jjamppong. In 〈Made in Korea Season 2〉, which takes place nine years after Season 1, Baek Ki-tae has finally risen to become director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, while prosecutor Jang Geon-young has become an outsider and is preparing his counterattack. The story begins with the shattered balance between the two men after Baek Ki-tae's victory, and that may be Season 2's most compelling point. Season 2 also introduces Gen. Hwang Dae-shik (Heo Jung-do), modeled on Chun Doo-hwan, the mastermind behind the massacre of the pro-democracy movement, and a figure who can be considered the series' ultimate villain. Through him, 〈Made in Korea Season 2〉 reaches its greatest achievement in Episode 4, titled 'The Beginning of the End.' The 'end' and the 'beginning' were ultimately one and the same. That is the essence of the 1970s as director Woo Min-ho sees it: an era racing toward the limits of desire. Many believed that a different world would emerge after the 1970s, as the 1980s began. How will the remaining Episodes 5 and 6 resolve that expectation?
