A Royal Rom-Com Extravaganza
'Perfect Crown' is a reimagined modern-day Korea under a constitutional monarchy. The series revolves around Grand Prince Wan, the people's favorite royal, who finds himself in a power struggle within the royal family. To ease the pressure to marry, he enters a marriage of convenience with Heeju, the heir to a Korean conglomerate. But this arrangement doesn't go as smoothly as planned, leading to a touching romantic comedy. The show has been a hot topic in Korea, previously titled 'Wife of a 21st Century Grand Prince'. With renowned director Park Joon-hwa at the helm and the in-demand duo of IU and Byeon Woo-seok as leads, fans are in for a real treat!
A Political Drama Renewed
'Made in Korea' has captivated audiences with its gripping political drama set in 1970s Korea. The first season follows Baek Kitae, a KCIA agent leading a double life. By day, he's a cunning and capable agent, and by night, he's a smuggler driven by his thirst for power. Kitae's rapid rise to power sets him on a collision course with an unwavering prosecutor. The renewal for season 2 has fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of this intense power struggle.
A Showcase of Korean Excellence
Disney+ also presented a lineup of other exciting Korean originals at the Asia Pacific content showcase event. From the action-packed 'The Manipulated' and 'Battle of Fates' to the crime thriller 'Gold Land' and the critically acclaimed 'A Shop for Killers', the streamer is showcasing the best of Korean storytelling.
