Comments

R Apr 22 2026 11:00 pm Really great drama. I do admit it’s pretty slow but that’s just how this type of genre is. While the ending isn’t really what you expect it’s realistic. Anyways, I can’t wait for season 2 (hoping for a 3 too)

Jojo Apr 15 2026 9:48 pm The ending sucked.

It shows how crooked the country was... awful and disgraceful

Jil Jan 23 2026 9:40 am Bad ending. Waste of time.

Jillibean Jan 16 2026 11:49 pm 1. You have to like crime dramas, and 2. You have to be very patient. The drama is very cerebral, so if you're watching it after a full work day and you're tired you might miss a lot. I would recommend watching it in one weekend, first three episodes on a Saturday, and the second three episodes the next Sunday.

Our two male leads were perfectly cast. (And Hyun Bin is still as much of a hunk as he was in Ireland two decades ago, lol!).

5_ooo Jan 15 2026 5:59 pm omg @AMAN thank you for telling me!!!!!!! :D

Irem Jan 15 2026 3:17 pm I am on episode 3 and I can't make myself watch it.

AMAN Jan 14 2026 6:58 pm @5_ooo... they have already announced that there will be S02..

AMAN Jan 14 2026 6:55 pm Just finished watching it... and it was good. A good Crime, Action & thriller drama. Liked the acting of both Hyun-Bin & Jung Woo-Sung. Won Ji-An, Woo Do-Hwan & Cho Yeo-Jeong are also impressive but given very less screen time. hope they'll be given much more screen time in s02. i just read somewhere that show has already renewed for s02 that's great because it was not at all very satisfactory ending.. S01 was all about Baek Ki-Tae rise and S02 will be about his downfall...

Sushi87 Jan 14 2026 6:45 pm Just watched ep 6. This drama reminds me of Heat with Al Pacino and Robert de Niro.

5_ooo Jan 14 2026 6:31 pm SPOILERS!

very realistic ending, but i wish Jang Geonyoung was able to lock up Baek Gitae

Tandokazi Jan 12 2026 12:18 am Are you really gonna release one episode per week.. your marketing strategy is nonsense.

Sushi87 Jan 11 2026 3:16 am High production value and I like the retro musical scoring.

Nice to see Hyun Bin do a different role.

Tom Cruise Dec 25 2025 5:09 pm After watching the first 2 eps, the concept of the ML and his story simillar with Made in America's Tom Cruise movie, about CIA agent who has been dealing with drugs or illegal business.

Es el Dec 25 2025 12:51 pm WOW… having Hyun Bin and Woo Do Hwan as brothers JC, I MELT

5_ooo Dec 01 2025 9:21 am HAIL YEAH! i WILL be waiting for this

PANDORA Nov 28 2025 1:21 pm Cast of DILFS and pretty girls. I’m sat!

arabella Aug 26 2025 12:31 pm can't wait to see the movie, especially my idol, Won Jian!

zeina May 27 2025 10:16 am cant wait to watch this for won jian

PANDORA Sep 15 2024 9:42 am The face cards are insane.

Pleased Sep 03 2024 6:55 am From the title Made In Korea it sounds like is might have the same plot as the 2018 movie The Drug King. Wonder what will happen?

Jennysain Aug 28 2024 10:53 pm Another Drama for Seo Eunsoo super excited to see her again

Jillibean Aug 28 2024 8:46 pm Whoa! I can't wait! Two phenomenal actors I have been watching for 25 years! Guaranteed to be superb.

Ann Wilson Mar 01 2024 8:28 pm It should be an interesting series based on the period of crisis in South Korean modern history. It would be exciting if Hyun bin does take up the offer to be a part of it. Jong Woo sung is also staring in it would be appropriate as he was one of the stars in 12 12: The Day, which was an exceptional movie. Hopefully it will be streamed on Netflix with English subtitles, as the Korean Peninsula is in the forefront of world news at the moment.
