Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung's 'Made in Korea': Can This Political Thriller Save Disney+?
Film superstars Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung team up in Disney+'s new original series 'Made in Korea.' Can this 1970s political thriller be the hit the platform needs?
Disney+ is betting its Korean future on two men. Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung, arguably two of Korea's biggest movie stars, are teaming up for the first time in the new Disney+ original series, 'Made in Korea'. Set in the turbulent 1970s, this high-stakes political thriller isn't just a new show; it's a critical test for the streaming giant's strategy in the fiercely competitive K-drama landscape.

'Made in Korea' plunges viewers into the heart of South Korea's rapid industrialization and political upheaval. The series, which spans 6 episodes, combines action, political intrigue, and period drama. It's scheduled to release 2 episodes every Wednesday. For global audiences, the pairing of Hyun Bin ('Crash Landing on You') and Jung Woo-sung ('Hunt') is a blockbuster event, bringing two cinematic heavyweights to the small screen.
More Than Just a Drama
This series represents a major strategic push for Disney+, which has been struggling to consistently produce hits in Korea that rival those from Netflix. After the massive success of 'Moving', the platform needs another tentpole series to maintain momentum and justify its investment in Korean content. By casting two of the most bankable stars in the country, Disney+ is clearly aiming for a guaranteed hit to attract and retain subscribers.
