The Story So Far and Finale Expectations
Made in Korea is set in the politically tense 1970s in South Korea. The plot follows Baek Gi-tae (played by Hyun Bin), an ambitious and power-hungry agent of the KCIA (Korean Central Intelligence Agency). Believing that real change and influence come from wealth and joining the “dark side,” he makes dangerous deals with corrupt figures, including connections to the Japanese Yakuza.
His actions draw the intense focus of Jang Gun-yeong (played by Jung Woo-sung), a righteous and determined prosecutor who uses unconventional methods to pursue justice. The series has centered on their escalating cat-and-mouse game, a battle of wits where their personal conflict reflects larger national struggles.
The supporting cast includes Woo Do-hwan as Baek Gi-tae’s younger brother, adding a personal and emotional layer to the main character’s journey. Other key actors are Won Ji-an, Seo Eun-soo, Cho Yeo-jeong, and Jung Sung-il.
The previous episode, Episode 5, which aired on January 7, 2026, likely set the stage for a major confrontation. With only one episode remaining, the story is building toward a climax that promises to resolve the central rivalry and reveal the fates of both Gi-tae and Gun-yeong. Their conflict is set to culminate in a way that could change the direction of the nation itself.

A Major Comeback and a Short, Intense Story
The series marks a significant return for lead actor Hyun Bin, one of South Korea’s most famous stars. His role as the morally complex anti-hero Baek Gi-tae has been a focal point for audience interest.
Unlike typical K-dramas that run for 16 or more episodes, Made in Korea tells its complete story in a tight, six-episode format. This shorter series length is designed for a fast-paced and suspenseful narrative without filler content, with episodes dropping weekly to maintain momentum.
The show is director Woo Min-ho’s first television project, moving from films like Harbin and The Drug King to the series format. The drama shares a narrative universe with his earlier film The Drug King, which also explores similar themes of crime and ambition in Korea’s recent history.
