The wait is over for fans of the grand drama-crime series. “Made in Korea” Season 2. The power game that left deep scars in the first season returns after nine years, raising the stakes even higher. With a fast-paced storyline packed with strategic moves, sharp betrayals, and unexpected twists that force characters to push beyond their limits, you can now stream the intense first two episodes with Thai dubbing on Disney+.
After Season 1 ended with a major unresolved issue, where ‘Jang Gun-young’ (played by ‘Jung Woo-sung’), a prosecutor committed to justice, was imprisoned after being framed in a power struggle, and his rival ‘Baek Ki-tae’ (played by ‘Hyun Bin’) rose to the peak of power, Season 2 sees them face off fiercely after nine years. Director ‘Woo Min-ho’ explained choosing this nine-year gap: “I see nine years as enough time to completely transform people's lives.” Expect returning characters to continue the intense political power game, now complicated by new characters adding unpredictability. With situations ready to flip at any moment, the new challenges intensify and elevate this ruthless power game to unprecedented levels.
In this season, ‘Baek Ki-tae’ (played by ‘Hyun Bin’) has risen to the pinnacle of his career as Deputy Director of the Korea Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA), placing him at the heart of a new power struggle. He expands his network in the underworld and international arms trade. However, amid a nation shaken and internal conflicts erupting within state agencies, his previously controlled path takes an unexpected turn. His once firm grip on power begins to loosen, and the game he once owned is changing.
Hyun Bin described a new side of Baek Ki-tae viewers will see this season: “Usually, Baek Ki-tae handles situations with layered plans, survival tactics, and adaptability to control everything as he wishes. But in Season 2, you will see him lose his composure—an angle unseen in the first season—revealing the complex emotions flooding him as things spiral beyond his control.”
On the other hand, ‘Jang Gun-young’ (played by ‘Jung Woo-sung’) the former prosecutor who stood for justice but was falsely accused, returns after spending nine years in the shadows, gathering evidence and waiting to reclaim everything unjustly taken. This battle leaves no room for retreat: one at the peak of power, the other fueled by long-held vengeance, both ready to break all rules and cross every line to bring the other down.
For Jung Woo-sung, the excitement of Season 2 lies not only in the rival confrontation but also in increasingly complex character relationships: “The most thrilling part is seeing characters who never clashed in the first season engage in worthy battles. These complex relationships give viewers a deeper dimension of the characters.”
another key returning character shows clear growth: ‘Baek Ki-hyun’ (played by ‘Woo Do-hwan’) Baek Ki-tae’s younger brother, striving to step out of his brother’s shadow and stand for justice. After a long military career, he returns as a lieutenant colonel in the Security Command. But when his ideals clash with family ties, the confrontation between the brothers becomes a crucial test, leaving audiences to wonder whether Ki-hyun will uphold his principles or protect his blood brother.
Woo Do-hwan revealed the character’s growth: “In Season 1, I portrayed a young man not yet fully grown. But in Season 2, he returns as a soldier hardened by over ten years in the army. I prepared thoroughly to express Baek Ki-hyun’s imposing and composed nature, ready to take responsibility for all his actions.”
Baek Ki-hyun’s return reflects both his character’s growth and introduces a new battlefield in this power game, where conflict expands from enemies to family. With ideals driving them to opposite sides, this confrontation is even more unpredictable and raises the stakes.
