Uncle Sam-sik

2024 16 episodes Disney+ Thriller Political Historical Drama Comedy Disney+

South Korea, the early 1970s. A young KCIA operative is assigned to accompany a legendary fixer — known simply as Uncle Sam-sik — as he navigates the murky world of political power, business deals, and Cold War-era survival. Equal parts political thriller and oddball buddy drama, the show uses its historical setting to explore how a country reinvents itself, and what some people are willing to do to sit at that table.
