Hulu has released the official trailer and poster for Made in Korea Season 1, which debuts later this month—and it already looks like an incredibly thrilling ride.

Hyun Bin stars as Baek Kitae, a power-hungry KCIA agent living a double life as a political operative and smuggler in 1970s Korea. His cunning is countered by a prosecutor, Jang Geon-yeong, played by Joon Woo-sung. The political period piece is written by Park Eun-kyo, directed by Woo Min-ho, and produced by Hive Media Corp.

Watch the trailer for Season 1 below.

Here’s the full synopsis for Made in Korea Season 1, per Hulu:

Set in 1970s Korea, Made in Korea Season 1 follows Baek Kitae, an ambitious KCIA agent who’s living a double life. Driven by his thirst for power, Kitae works as an agent by day and a smuggler by night. Smart, suave, cunning and capable, Kitae rapidly moves up the ranks after using his smuggling operation to consolidate power, protect his brother, and generate vast sums of money for the agency. Seemingly unstoppable, only one thing stands in his way—a tenacious prosecutor who can’t be reasoned with, bought or bribed. With everything at stake for both men, the series will follow the duo as they look to take each other down.

The poster shows the two characters in a split screen, with the tagline, “In the name of patriotism, two forces collide.”
