The footage features Hyun Bin, Jung Woo-sung, Woo Do-hwan, Seo Eun-soo, Won Ji-an, Kang Gil-woo, Park Yong-woo, and director Woo Min-ho as they immerse themselves in filming.
In the newly released clip, Hyun Bin performs an intense action sequence set inside a plane bound for Fukuoka. Jung Woo-sung, Seo Eun-soo, and Kang Gil-woo are seen filming a tense chase scene involving the fictional crime group “Manjae.” Woo Do-hwan discusses the project in depth with director Woo Min-ho, while Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung exchange detailed thoughts on their performances during rehearsals, highlighting the level of preparation behind the series.
International media reactions have also been introduced. India Today described the series as “an ambitious and stylish genre drama,” while ZAPZEE praised it for featuring “a unique villain and distinctive plot devices.” Major outlets such as CNN and ABC published interviews with the lead actors, further amplifying global interest.
In an interview with CNN, Hyun Bin shared, “Everyone has desires and weaknesses, and those elements were essential in shaping my character.” Jung Woo-sung told ABC, “At the heart of this story is psychological warfare. When the two characters confront each other, there’s constant tension as they try to read each other’s true intentions.”
Reactions from international online communities such as X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit have also been positive. Viewers praised Hyun Bin’s commanding charisma, the compelling casting choices, the historical backdrop, and the cinematic tone of the series, noting that it feels more like a high-quality film than a typical TV production.
Set in the 1970s, Made in Korea follows Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin), a man driven by ambition for wealth and power, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues him. The series consists of six episodes in total, with two additional episodes scheduled for release on December 31st, followed by one episode each on the 7th and 14th of next month.
