*** Made in Korea (2025) ***
(Disney+ 6 1:05 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

Always interesting to see another point in Korean history. In the 1970s a man realizes that only the powerful have control of their lives. With a military background, he becomes an agent for the Korean CIA & sees gov. corruption up close. Taking advantage of his position, he becomes corrupt as well. Fun to see Hyun Bin as the antagonist. A justice-seeking prosecutor shows up, & the fight is on.

$$$ Beautifully executed set design, costuming, & cinematography create a feast for the eyes. Captivating story but the 2 season format made this 1st one feel incomplete: not enough time for a lot of char. dev. The amazing actors carry the show. Very violent & gory at times. Hoping the 2nd season will fully flesh out our characters and provide more insight into their relationships.
