Korean's war wagon are just too op.

I'm starting to play against the AI on hard and I don't have much trouble with most civilizations, but I find it impossible to defeat the Koreans unless I eliminate them before the age of castles, otherwise they start to create war wagons in lots, as you know these units do a lot of damage, are created fast and have 200hp!

I spend all my resources to destroy them but they keep coming more without giving me the possibility to attack. I think they are very broken. Any advice or something you are overlooking?

well ai on hard can be beaten by a variety of ways. as for war wagons best counter is monks. make like 10 monks with sanctity and you should be fine. late game skirms/halbs are great vs them and of course block printing monks are insaine too. as with all ai games walling up and dealing economy damage makes winning pretty easy.

Early on, like castle age, monks. You could continue with monks into imperial too if your civ has good monks and you feel comfortable microing them.

Other than that, I don't remember how well the ai kites with them but halberdiers do a lot of damage to war wagons. If the ai kites consistently halberdiers are probably not the greatest option.

Camels do a really good job against war wagons, and knights are pretty decent.

War wagons do really low damage to siege, so you can use rams/trebs to kill all their castles and then just run hussars into their economy (war wagons don't do great damage to hussar either, they're just tanky. So it will take the ai a long time to clean up if they just have war wagons).

Avoid most ranged units, even including skirms. Well there's a few that could work ok (like if you have really good ones like mangudai), but for the most part they're not great against war wagons. Well alternatively if you're like Britons or something you could go for a decently fast imperial (war wagons are largely tanky vs ranged because of pierce armor, which is far less effective when you have bracer+arb and they don't have the last archer upgrade, and you should be able to hit imp faster because war wagons are kind of expensive to go for).

Koreans free armor upgrade had made them pretty strong indeed. You still need a castle for making them tho.

Skirmishers are a good counter but you need numbers
