There is a reason Made in Korea Season 1 keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Made in Korea Season 1 its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Set in the 1970's, Baek Gi Tae is an ambitious man, who thirsts for wealth and power. Jang Gun Yeong is a prosecutor with animalistic instinct and fearsome tenacity. Facing a major incident, Jang Gun Yeong throws his everything to stop Baek Gi Tae. Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2025. What makes Made in Korea Season 1 hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.
