"Made in Korea" isn't in the trailer "Coming soon in 2025" for some reason. Actually only "Low Life" (July 16) and "Tempest" (allegedly September) are. I get why there is no "The Manipulated" (they might not be sure they will be able to finish post-production this year) or "Knock Off" (obvious and predictable reasons). But the absence of "Made in Korea" in the list is confusing for me. Maybe it was for Q3, and the show is set for Q4. We'll see.
During the press conference the FL said she was undocumented. There wasn't literally any mentions of her birth.…
In episode 13 the woman told the policeYun Jo-Kyun, AKA Choi Min-guk (Park Yong Woo's character) used to leach off the woman he lived with. The witness mentioned her name was Jeong-mi. She said Jeong-mi find another man, Go Doo-sam, married him officially, and Go Doo-sam helped her in the bar. I guess, the bar was hers then.
idk if I missed this lol but can anyone let me know are seeun and eunseo half siblings or step? and also why did…
During the press conference the FL said she was undocumented. There wasn't literally any mentions of her birth. I guess her sudden appearance at school would raise uncomfortable questions to her father (or a "father," maybe the final twist will be about him not being her biological father too).
On other hand having a daughter, let alone being a single father whose partner allegedly ran away and ditched her kid, lifts some suspicions, makes people sympathetic, you could commit crimes and get away with it pretty easily.
Girls were stepsisters. The FL was allegedly the murderer's biological daughter, and her "unni" was a daughter of a bar owner the dude used to leach off.
What about the name change from The Confidence Man KR (like the Japanese original, but the Korean domain KR instead of the Japanese one) to Confidence Queen? I am afraid of Amazon Prime repeating mistakes they and the entire Hollywood have made in the US in last 5-10 years. Are they trying to make it another example of "a girlboss girlbossing" show? Because it didn't end well for Amazon's Rings of Power, Wheel of Time and so on. Those girlboss franchises bomb now.
The most attractive quality of trickster comedies and dramedies about scams or heists is teamwork and interaction between team members. Who does what thing? How do they treat each other? How do they rely on each other? Who is the weakest link and the team's vulnerability? Sometimes I would even call it "competence porno", because a viewer enjoys them meeting the challenges. Even the team recruiting became a bit of trope for the genre.
The show's premise makes an impression it's going to be exactly about this. But suddenly it's all about the Queen who is the One. That would be boring. I guess Amazon still hasn't learned its lesson despite Jennifer Salke, the Head of Amazon Studios and ideologist of those girlboss products, being replaced after seven years in the office. Anyway I had hopes for the show, but now I am wary.
Will it be a single season or 2-3 seasons, like Disney+ is going to divide Made in Korea into two parts and, let's be honest, Netflix has just done to so called season 2 and 3 of Squid Games? 22 episodes is too long for Netflix. I can see it as 2 seasons per 11 episodes (like Dear Hongrang) or as 3 seasons of 8, 7 and 7 episodes.
I didn't find this song, I literally wrote I couldn't find it. I just found there is a song named "Ti Vengo a Cercare" by Shorelle in the show's credits, it has an Italian name, so it's the only option. But I can't find the song itself. It's confusing, because some of the original show's soundtrack has already been released on YouTube and whatnot.
I am at the beginning of episode 10.So Eun Seo is Se Eun/Se Hyeon's elder sister (eonni)? What happened to her?…
We don't know it. But the father literally asked the FL, if she killed her sister. The FL answered she didn't know what had happened to her. Both main characters don't know.
The Park Yong Woo's song sounds Italian for me. For example, I hear words sounding like "primo," "amore" or "tu." There are some songs in the credits. I have found all of them except one, and nothing has been right. The only unfound song has an Italian name, "Ti Vengo A Cercare," (by Shorelle who is a K-pop singer and songwriter of Italian origin) which means "I'm Coming to Find You." I guess, it's the only option, I saw two songs with the similar names, Ti Vengo A Cercare and Et Ti Vengo A Cercare, but both were wrong.
I just completed epi 4 and I am wondering that if she knew that her father is the serial killer why she didn't…
She thought he was dead. There are hints she had tried to kill her father in childhood and thought she had succeeded. We haven't seen it in flashbacks even in episode 10 yet, but it was mentioned several times. She also was an accomplice of her father, or so she has been thinking all those years, so she can't reveal this truth about herself. Is it a right strategy? Probably no. But she was traumatized in her early age and doesn't think straight about those issues.
What retro-esque song plays in Park Yong Woo's scenes and in credits of episode 10? Shazam doesn't find it, and there seem to be some Italian words, e. g. "prima", "amor" and so on.
I forgot about this show being on Disney+. Considering Murky Water is set to be released this September, I guess Tempest is going to be released in October, Made in Korea in November and The Manipulated in December. It's disappointing.
Probably he is alive (but they didn't show the character's face, so in case of season 2 Disney+ could use Sul Kyung Gu as the ML or not). Characters could have faked his death though -- for example, leak his real diagnosis, stage his suicide. They might be abroad or on a ship in international waters doing illegal surgeries. There are many opportunities for the story, but the main conflict between the FL and the ML is resolved, so it may not be interesting for creators.
The season was very uneven, disjointed and weird. A lot of things were just meaningless and might be eliminated from the show. It looked like some preparation for "the really important and big show set in 'Murica."
The best thing was acting (except VIPs, they were cringe and repulsive, and their dialogues seem to be written by AI). I am glad all Korean characters are probably done with the universe, and the Frontman can have a drink of maldives at Mojito. But for me the MVP was No Eul. I have seen quite a few prettier Korean actresses, but Park Gyu Young steals my heart in every show, I don't know how she manages it, somehow she does,
The best episode was the hide-and-seek game, on the same level with the marbles episode, probably my 2nd favorite episode of the entire show.
I don't regret about the time I spent, but I am not going to rewatch Squid Games and I definitely will never watch the American spinoff, whether it is made by Fincher, Tarantino or Nolan.
