I don't think it's season 2 in the Western sense, it's probably a part 2. Disney+ had already done it with Shadow Detective. Season 1 was released in October and November 2022, and season 2 was released in July 2023. But it was basically the same storyline about the same antagonist divided in two parts.

I would expect season 2 of "Made in Korea" in Summer 2026. Moreover. Disney+ has some other projects, such as season 2 of A Shop for Killers, Gold Land (for April 2026), Delusion starring Suzy, and whatnot.

I think the answer about both actresses is "yes and yes." I would prefer the former one, but I can see why people would choose the latter.

Another two options are Chun Woo Hee and Pyo Ye Jin who have played similar characters in Delightfully Deceitful and Taxi Driver respectively. Both of them were able to add some depth to their characters and make them sympathetic. Pyo Ye Jin literally stole my heart in season 1 of Taxi Driver and I still remember her musical number from season 2 occasionally. I can't wait to see the entire team in season 3 in a few months.

So you literally confirmed what I wrote. There were some obvious issues with pre-production or production, so they finished three months behind schedule. It's a long time. I know American shows usually spend about 10-14 days to film one 1-hour episode. so filming of the entire show like The Manipulated would take 4-6 months, and they finished 3 months later. Either the cast and crew worked 1.5-2 times slower, or they started months behind schedule.

Anyway, those hypothetical issues definitely are not connected with Knock Off and that scandal.

What's the source?

I can't imagine this show being released in August, because they finished filiming in May. Even Knock Off being cancelled/postponed wouldn't matter, because it happened in April as they were still filming The Manipulated. There had to be some serious issues with production or script.

Because some people miss her and she is being polite?

What if Sul Kyung Gu takes the main role instead Song Kang Ho in this drama? It would be great. I also would look forward to his scenes with Lee Sung Min.

The commentary is inspired by Sul Kyung Gu's new Netflix movie with him playing the mysterious fixer, a man behind curtains which fits this show.

Hijack 1971, Emergency Declaration, this one. South Koreans have been a bit thrilled with aviation incidents for a while.

Disney+ set thing up for season 2 as usual. They did it with Hyper Knife and Nine Puzzles this year and with Blood Free last year, even Gangnam B-side might be continued. But probably it won't happen for Low Life, the show didn't seem popular. I guess we would see if it's the father in season 2.

Late October or November. Disney+ is promoting Tempest now, it's an international K-drama with some established Hollywood actors, the poject is really high-profile. Made in Korea will be released after that. We will know more a month later.

That's what I am afraid of. They did the same in "Trigger" on Netflix recently. The show started great, really went to grey areas about weapon, but then suddenly it became moralizing, self-righteous and preaching, like "guns are bad mkay, just leave everything to the police and government."

Or she/they will be recruited to work undercover by some state agencies, whether it's law enforcement or the NIS like in "Insider" a few years ago.

I can feel some possible noona romance here. There might be mutual manipulation from both leads in the show. But I don't know what their endgame is going to be.

I didn't want to watch this show, because I thought it was a remake of the American show, "Weeds," from mid-2000a to early 2010s. But it seems to be an original story. The similar things are main characters in both shows being housewives left without husbands in dire financial circumstances and turning to drugdealing in some kind of fish-out-of-water setting.

Well, I did start to watch Vincenzo at the day of the premiere, but dropped it after a few episodes, because I didn't like the vibe, and jokes didn't land for me. I mean some (many) people like the show, and that's fine. but I didn't.

i watched it. it wasn't realistic at all. Actually it was pretty dumb.

( read the original novel several times (first time it was in the middle school) and watched the original Oscar-nominated movie from 1970s many years ago. The contrast was striking. The crew of the modern show just doesn't understand the material and didn't care about logic. I even wrote an article about it for one site in my country.

Korean cinema has had some smart political movies, such as The Spy Gone North (I have been Lee Sung Min's fan since), 12.12: The Day and even Escape from Mogadishu (the scene in the airport at the ending was brilliant).

I didn't expect it would be so melodramatic/romantic. To be honest. I'm okay about the romantic (and, probably, tragic) plotline, but I also don't want the show to be a romantic drama. Just give me a proper political drama thriller with real (but realistic) stakes and the characters having actual chemistry and being 3D.

What else could one expect from the marketing person? Trying to generate hype is literally their job, whether it's for real reasons or not.

The marketing person said this drama would be mediocre, "Who cares? We needed our paychecks, just consume your corporate slop and stop bothering us."

The marketing person said this drama would be bad, "Well, we really missed the mark here. You can't imagine how bad the script was, and the cast didn't even try."

I wholeheartedly support one of the show's messages -- to be nicer to each other. You can't know what another person is going through right now and what might make them snap. Etiquette isn't some boring and outdated thing, it's literally safety precautions, a code written by the blood. Some politeness could save you from the bullet in your head.

I have watched 3 episodes. Acting is fine for that cast. There has been nothing breakthrough yet, but it's as decent and solid as you would expect seeing the names.

The story is great. It's a bit vanity fair for Kim Nam Gil and his character, but I'll allow it. The show deals with some morally grey areas and doesn't preach as much as an American show would do. I mean there are some bad people who use guns for bad reasons and some good people who either haven't had any options or "have been in one bad day from the snap."
