Coming to Netflix in 2026 is the exciting new Indo-Korean romance Made in Korea. Taking a heartfelt detour, Made In Korea brings a fresh cross-cultural story to Tamil cinema. Directed by Ra Karthik and starring Priyanka Mohan alongside Park Hye-Jin of Squid Game fame, the film is about a young woman whose dream trip to Korea is derailed by betrayal. Through unexpected friendships and hard lessons, she discovers hope, and herself.
When Shenba’s dream of visiting Korea with her boyfriend shatters in betrayal, she finds herself alone in Seoul, grappling with loneliness and cultural challenges. As she transforms through life’s harsh lessons, Shenba discovers resilience and forms a bond for life with her newfound friends.
Director Ra Karthik: “Korean culture has significantly influenced Indian culture over the past decade. Personally, I had never watched a K-drama or listened to K-pop until I began working on Made In Korea. During my research, I was fascinated to discover the deep cultural connections and historical similarities between Korean and Tamil heritage. This curiosity inspired me to tell a story that resonated deeply with me. Made In Korea reflects a slice of life, crafted with hope and joy, celebrating this unique cultural bond.”
Actor Priyanka Mohan: “What drew me to this project was the strength and uniqueness of its narrative — it’s a compelling story that immediately captured my interest. As someone who has always appreciated Korean dramas, the opportunity to be part of an Indo-Korean collaboration was both exciting and meaningful. I found a deep personal connection with the character I portray, which made the decision even more natural. When Karthik sir narrated the script, I knew right then that I wanted to be a part of it. Being associated with a Netflix original only adds to the pride I feel in this journey.”
