Made in Korea Season 2 Intensifies Brothers’ Rift
Made in Korea is getting a second season.
The new season begins nine years after the first one.
Baek Ki-tae has become a powerful official in the Korean Central Intelligence Agency.
His younger brother, Baek Ki-hyun, has also gained power through the military.
Because both brothers have changed, they no longer get along as they once did.
The story takes place during a very unstable time involving an assassination and military coups.
