Even the title feels lazy. It's almost as if the makers wanted to tell a Queen-like story and simply chose South Korea because of its current pop culture appeal. If you want to see how a movie uses a location purely for SEO purposes, it would be this!

This movie is actually a bunch of different movies—some good, some not so good—an amalgam of precariously glued-together variations on familiar cliches.

Made in Korea leaves a lot to be desired as it conveniently tells us a story of struggle... minus the struggle.

While there is an emotionally satisfying relationship at the center of the film, Made in Korea has too much noise in its subplots to completely satisfy.

The very existence of such slop is a slap in the face of talented filmmakers who struggle for decades trying to do honest work. This is an insult not only to them, but also to audiences who pay hard-earned money to Netflix every month.

A lazy excuse of a film made by an inept group of people with no idea what they’re doing.

This movie is so brain-numbingly stupid. The story is full of plot holes. What a waste of time watching this.

I don’t know why people seem to either ignore or dislike this because it’s actually a very nice movie.

Sloppy movie.Here comes a Tamil girl who dreams of going to Korea, is shown learning their language, but cannot get a single word across. And how does our dear protagonist get there? Duped by her so-called love interest of nine years and sent off alone on a plane (which she voluntarily boards without waiting for him to even make it to the airport). More shenbafoolery and then she ends up working as Yeon-Ok's caretaker—the granny who is actually not in a coma (you would have never anticipated or discovered the truth). Yeonfoolery and a new restaurant and money issues and K-friends. Also, granny dies and the closing scene is an ultimate emotional showdown with tear-jerking edits of the granny being shown as seated in their little restaurant and slowly losing opacity... until she vanishes from the delulu as she has from trululu too. Adobe Premiere Pro Max Ultimate. Empty characters, empty arcs, flat redemption, but Priyanka did act well. I've not felt more numb watching anything else.

RA. Karthik's Made In Korea is a charming tale of resilience and womanhood. Couple of the subplots are rushed through, but the emotional core coupled with the performances make it a good watch. The Korean cast bring a flesh flavor as well. My full review available in own website rigoberthareviews.com
