Hulu has officially dropped the first teaser for Made in Korea, and it packs the kind of gritty, electric punch that screams prestige Korean drama. Set against the dramatic backdrop of 1970s South Korea — a decade pulsing with rapid industrialization, political tension, and seismic social shifts — the series dives headfirst into a collision of ambition, justice, and the cost of chasing power.
At the center of this high-stakes saga are two men heading straight for a catastrophic crossroads. Hyun Bin stars as Baek Ki-Tae, the kind of character who radiates ambition the way a furnace radiates heat. His hunger for power and wealth is portrayed as both intoxicating and terrifying, the sort of drive that shapes empires — or destroys them. Opposite him is Jung Woo-sung as Prosecutor Jang Gun-Young, a man defined by his relentless pursuit of justice. His instincts are sharp, his determination fierce, and he’s exactly the type of prosecutor you’d never want pursuing you…unless you’re on the side of righteousness.
The teaser hints at a simmering war between these two forces. Their worlds collide after a major incident that shakes the nation, and what follows is a tense duel of wits, influence, and survival. Surrounding them is an ensemble of characters who each carry their own stakes in this dangerous game: lobbyist Choi Yoo-Ji (Won Ji-an), investigator Oh Ye-Jin (Seo Eun-soo), femme-fatale-in-waiting Bae Geum-Ji (Cho Yeo-jeong), and political operator Chief Secretary Cheon Seok-Joong (Jung Sung-il). Together, they paint a layered portrait of a society where loyalty is negotiable, truth is weaponized, and ambition has a steep price.
Created and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Woo Min-ho, and written by Park Eun-gyo and Park Joon, Made in Korea promises the kind of sleek direction, sharp tension, and emotional weight that Korean prestige dramas are known for. Every frame in the teaser feels meticulously crafted — smoky rooms, sharp suits, sirens slicing through night air, and glimmers of a nation on the brink of transformation.
With its release set for December 24th, 2025, Made in Korea already feels like it’s positioned to be one of Hulu’s marquee international offerings. If the teaser is any indication, the series won’t just revisit a turbulent chapter of Korean history — it’ll make it pulse with fresh urgency.
