Disney+’s original series ‘Made in Korea’ has claimed the top spot as the most-watched Korean original content globally among all Korean originals released on Disney+ in 2025, reaffirming its strong international appeal.<\/p>\n
‘Made in Korea’ is set in the 1970s, a turbulent yet transformative era in South Korea. The series follows Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin), a man who seeks to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power by treating the nation as a business model, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung), who relentlessly pursues Baek to the brink as they confront the era’s momentous events.<\/p>\n
According to Disney+’s official metrics, ‘Made in Korea’ secured the top spot as the most-watched Korean original content globally among titles released on Disney+ in 2025, within 48 days of its debut, underscoring its overwhelming cinematic presence as an irreplaceable series.<\/p>\n
The series had previously secured the number one spot for viewership among Korean originals released on Disney+ in 2025, both in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region. This achievement further highlighted its explosive popularity and its continued unstoppable success on the global stage.<\/p>\n
Even 48 days after its release, ‘Made in Korea’ continues to receive rave reviews. Audience comments include: “It’s a drama, but it’s overshadowing all the movies released this year” (YouTube, Po******), “My parents and I spent a week praising Hyun Bin, calling him the Korean Tom Hardy” (WatchaPedia, Ki*), “A crazy drama out to kill me… crazy brothers” (X, Lee*), and “Rather than speed, the way it builds on the characters’ desires and silence creates more tension” (X, Kim**). The series consistently garners praise for its dopamine-inducing story driven by intertwined, desire-filled characters, overwhelming performances, and captivating mise-en-sc\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, comments such as “The rediscovery of Hyun Bin… I felt how attractive masculinity can be! Looking forward to Season 2” (YouTube, ha********), “I think Season 2 will be even more exciting. It’s a well-made drama with great attention to visual detail” (Kinolights, Yo**), and “Looking forward to Season 2, Made in Korea fighting!” (X, Tteo***) all heighten anticipation for a more intense second season of ‘Made in Korea’.<\/p>\n
