Director Kim Hak-soon attempted to make the movie in 2007 after buying in the copyrights for the novel "Battle of Yeonpyeong" written by Choi Soon-jo but the families who lost their beloved ones were against it. Kim Hak-soon was given the permission to make the movie the day after Ship Cheonan sank. He said, "What the families wanted, is the country to remember what happened and portray in the movie, the brave minds of those who were killed then".
Hirose Suzu and Kamiki Ryunosuke will be starring in the NTV Winter 2015 drama "Gakkou no Kaidan" which is due to begin its run from 10 Jan in the Saturdays 9pm timeslot.

Co-stars include Namase Katsuhisa, Asano Atsuko and Sugisaki Hana.
Director's Message
What I would like to share with audience with this film is about Korean society, more specifically, about a capitalist society. All of us in this system hope to reach the top and obtain wealth. When such condition is fulfilled, we call this ‘success’, and through this we achieve respect from others. Desiring a ‘better life’, we risk everything to obtain this and disregard what’s important in our lives. This is often the final goal of life for most people, and they will do everything in their power to achieve it, which often creates hurdles in communication between one another. {Made in China} deals with problems of our current time: it reveals the absence of communication and the irony of capitalism. Before we had a chance to observe, China has become a global economic superpower, and our bias towards China and its citizens have created a barrier. Facing equal negligence due to clashes in our history, Korea and Japan have not maintained favorable relationship over the years. I hope, with this film, we acknowledge our neighboring countries with utmost maturity and reflect on the conditions we have set for ourselves.
