An Intriguing Premise

The original series follows two deep-cover spies posing as a married couple living in the United States during the tense backdrop of the Cold War. In a similar vein, “Koreans” aims to reimagine this thrilling narrative, setting it against the unique context of a divided Korea. With his previous leading role in the legendary 2009 Korean spy drama “Iris,” Lee Byung Hun’s return to the genre is generating considerable excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.

High Expectations and Global Ambitions

Adding to the intrigue of “Koreans” is the involvement of Ahn Gil Ho, the visionary director behind the globally acclaimed series “The Glory.” With a substantial budget planned for the production, there are ongoing discussions with major global streaming platforms, indicating potential wide reach for the series. However, as of now, a broadcast partner has yet to be confirmed, keeping the anticipation alive.

As Lee Byung Hun reviews the offer from his agency BH Entertainment, who confirmed that nothing has been finalized yet, fans await further announcements. Whether it’s a return to espionage or a new twist on a familiar story, the prospect certainly holds a lot of promise.
