Director Woo Min-ho of Disney+ "Made in Korea" told the story of the work after finishing season 1. Coach Woo Min-ho, who is currently filming season 2 of "Made in Korea," also asked for expectations for season 2 to be released in the future.
Disney+ "Made in Korea" is a story about "Baek Ki-tae" (played by Hyun Bin), a man who tries to reach the peak of wealth and power using South Korea and the country, where confusion and leap coexisted in the 1970s, and "Jang Geon-young" (played by Jung Woo-sung), a prosecutor who traces him to the edge of the cliff with a scary tenacity, facing huge events throughout the times. Director Woo Min-ho, such as "The Insiders," "The Bosses of Namsan," "The Drug King," and "Harbin," tried to direct the series for the first time with this work. The full Season 16 episode was released and Season 2 is also currently filming.
"Made in Korea" was well received in the 1970s, drawing stories of big figures against the backdrop of Korea's history. However, Jung Woo-sung's acting ability, who played the role of Jang Gun-young in the play, was controversial and caused noise.
Coach Woo said, "I said okay because (Jung Woo-sung's acting) wasn't like that. He said, "I talked about such an excessive smile in advance," adding, "Jang Gun-young's warrior comes out in the fourth episode. Watching such a story about his father being a Hiroppong addict, I wanted to show that the history of a country's tragedy destroys an individual and a family like this, so I put in excessive laughter. It was expressed as a defense technique. Jang Geon-young's "Draumada" he explained.
Director Woo said, "However, we are looking at the audience's reaction in that regard and looking at it being controversial. If the viewer is, yes. "We are the makers, so it's up to the viewers next," he said. "The evaluation is up to the public. I have no reason to refute and I don't want to refute. So I'm looking at the audience's reaction and thinking about why it's going to come out like that. However, I am wondering if I should bring such 'bad acting' to an actor with more than 30 years of experience," he explained.
Director Woo Min-ho, who is currently filming season 2 of "Made in Korea" while watching the public's reaction after the release of the entire season 1 of "Made in Korea." "If season 1 showed a life like that where Baek Ki-tae is running towards desire in a way, season 2 will now see how he is broken in earnest. I'm going to take a different story line," he said.
When asked if he was referring to the public's reaction in season 1 while watching season 2, head coach Woo said, "I'm thinking a little about the character Jang Gun-young (Jung Woo-sung). It was originally designed like that because Jang Geon-young wanted to show a Don Quixote-like figure who floundered while openly showing his feelings. So I put in too much laughter, but I think I should think about it if the public's reaction is controversial, he said. "If Jang Geon-young comes back with the same look in season 2, wouldn't he lose to Baek Ki-tae again?" Jang Geon-young will not look the same when he returns. I didn't change it from the audience's reaction, but I prepared 12 episodes like this from the beginning. Currently, the filming of season 2 is two-thirds complete," he added.
In addition, director Woo Min-ho expressed his affection for Hyun Bin, who showed an attractive character full of desire through "Made in Korea." Director Woo said, "I wanted viewers to see Baek Ki-tae and climb into power with him. I think, 'If I were you, I wouldn't be able to do that,' and I'll try it together through Baek Gi-tae. I wanted to see how the ending would go when season 2 came out, and I wanted to ride the viewers together. I thought of Alpacino in The Godfather. While watching "The Godfather," we support Alpacino even though he is not good. Looking at him, I see how vain life is. I wanted Baek Ki-tae to become such a character," he said, adding, "I worked with actor Hyun Bin as Ahn Jung-geun in 'Harbin'. A villain in our country's hero. There was joy in capturing and creating a new face of actor Hyun Bin and doing it together," he said.
Hyun Bin also gained the nickname of Korea's Tom Hardy by gaining weight and showing a new side for Made in Korea. Director Woo said, "I didn't specifically ask the actor for an increase or anything like that. I increased it on my own. Season 1 is a field agent, so I thought I should bulk up and did about 13kg and 15kg myself. During "Harbin," I lost weight saying I wished I didn't have muscles. "It was good to have something that made Baek Ki-tae's desire look gritty when he gained weight," he explained.
Director Woo also expressed his affection for Hyun Bin's Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actor. Director Woo said, "Hyun Bin really suffered a lot when he was doing 'Harbin'. So I was so happy when I won the award. It's better for an actor to get it than for me to get it. Lee Byung-hun also received the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actor for "The Insiders," but Hyun Bin was also happy to receive it. But honestly, I don't need to say this, but I liked it when Lee Byung-hun received it, but I liked it when Hyun Bin received it, he said. "Lee Byung-hun did it with director Park Chan-wook and with many directors like Ki Ra-sung, but actor Hyun Bin is more happy because I think I brought up the face of the moment."
Meanwhile, season 2 of "Made in Korea" is currently in the final shoot with the goal of releasing it this year.
