Money Heist: Korea

The South Korean entertainment industry is famously known for its original content and having unique stories that have won the hearts of millions of people.

It also hints that maybe Kim Sangman has made some kind of deal with the North Koreans to secure his position in the new government, and the Professor only planned the heist on the Mint to attract world attention so that he can expose Kim’s sinister conspiracy. He may not know that he is the mastermind behind the heist, but he may have an idea that he is the person who has written the future of the two countries. And while the police were busy chasing the shadow, the Professor instructed Moscow to dig a tunnel inside the safe that would become their escape route out of the Mint. He had also ordered his team to force the employees to dig another tunnel in the Mint, which was a fake tunnel to trick the police and avoid a chase in the end. From outside the Mint, the Professor used a number of strategies to keep an eye on all the actions of the police so that he could tackle an attack even before the police could implement it. But while Seon Woojin was blindly in love with the Professor, it was Captain Cha who suspected that there was something wrong with this new guy, Park Sun-ho, aka, the Professor, and thus came to meet him at the end of Season 1. On the other hand, the Professor got carried away by his emotions and asked Seon Woojin to leave the case as it was taking a toll on her mental health. Tokyo decides to board the Professor’s bandwagon and soon meets his team of robbers (the same characters from the original series Season 1). After a bit of introduction of each robber, the Professor finally unveils his plan to break into the Unified Korean Mint in the Joint Economic Area, where they will print and steal the new currency note. Instead of stealing the money, the Professor had planned to print it using the machinery inside the Mint. He told his team that these newly printed currency notes would be untraceable and, thus, they would be able to use them freely. Inside the Mint, the robbers start printing the new currency as it will be untraceable, while on the outside, the Professor keeps an eye on the South Korean crisis management leader, Seon Woojin, and falls in love with her. The creators have tried to deal with that issue and thus have incorporated the on-going conflict between South and North Korea. They have set the political conflict between two nations in a fictional near-future, but does it work? A year later, as Tokyo loses all hope and gets tired of running away from the police, she decides to kill herself when suddenly the Professor pays her a visit and offers her a job to steal a massive amount of money that will not only change her life but will also make her a hero. For a majority of the audience, who neither understands Spanish nor Korean and relies heavily on English subtitles to understand the narrative, it all looks the same, but yes, with different faces and a bit of a different world.

But what stands out in this new six-episode adaptation (it drops on Netflix on June 24th) is the addition of quintessential Korean cultural elements — and some ...

Here’s hoping that the second season will focus more on the backstories of the thieves — and their preparation for the pulling off their epic robbery — than any romantic affairs. And while director Kim Hong-sun keeps the story moving at a good pace, he has a tendency to veer towards campiness on occasion. But what stands out in this new six-episode adaptation (it drops on Netflix on June 24th) is the addition of quintessential Korean cultural elements — and some of these specific tweaks are key. The Korean version omits most of the sweaty trysts that made the Spanish version so damned sexy. Once again, a bespectacled and somewhat squirrelly braniac named “the Professor” (Oldboy‘s Yoo Ji-tae) gathers together a motley crew of criminals and masterminds a heist at a national mint. Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area is a mostly faithful adaptation of Álex Pina’s crime drama La Casa de Papel — you may know it as Money Heist, which aired from 2017 to 2021 and went from semi-successful Spanish TV series to global Netflix phenomenon.

Money Heist Korea is an official adaptation of the Spanish series, Money Heist. The show adds a unique cultural flavour to the thrilling heist witnessed ...

However, the makers make for it by packing in a lot of North and South Korean jargons and conflicts, which is a friendly reminder that this is a uniquely ‘Korean tale.’ For someone who has been a fan of the Spanish series Money Heist, the Korean version might feel repetitive, with hardly any new twist to offer. We also have Park Hae-soo who plays the role of Berlin. After Squid Game, Prison Playbook, Legends of the Blue Sea, Hae-soo adds yet another feather to his cap with Money Heist Korea. His version of Berlin is more likeable than the original one and that is a good thing. However, instead of going with the Dali masks, the Korean version localises it by using the Hahoetal mask, which is a traditional mask used in Korea during dance performances. Another thing that works for this version is the earnest performance by the star cast. The makers of Money Heist Korea have huge shoes to fill in, with expectations at an all-time high, thanks to the Hallyu wave worldwide.

The long wait is over! The much-anticipated heist series “Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area” finally released its first season, intensifying the thrill ...

The Professor keeps Berlin at bay, and gives Tokyo the throne. The police send their experienced medical team to appease the situation. However, a police officer pretended to be a medical assistant which is a breach of the inspector and Professor's deal. Left with no choice, a bunch of thieves gather to create the foolproof plan in infiltrating the Unified Korea Mint and steal a huge sum of money and elevate their status. As the North and South Korea team up, a gang of geniuses and robbers gang up to infiltrate the Unified Korea Mint and steal a whopping four trillion won. In the first episode of "Money Heist Korea," the North and South Korea halt war and reunify to create a new community that will enrich the two countries' economic state.

Jang Yoon-ju who plays Nairobi in 'Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area' is a TOP model, actress and singer.

One fan tweeted, “WTF THAT’S WHY NAIROBI WAS SUPER FAMILIAR SKSNSKSNJZNS SHE WAS THE BLACK MAMBA i’m so dumb, it took me hours before remembering. SM’s newest girl group aespa had one of the most unique storylines and concepts for their debut, as they introduced their multiverse Kwangya and its antagonist Black Mamba. While aespa’s enemy, Black Mamba is a giant snake, it also has the power to take different forms as seen in their debut teaser. With Jang Yoon-ju looking completely different for her role as Nairobi wearing her hair short and flaunting tattoos, it did take a while for aespa fans to recognize her.

Money Heist Korea Joint Economic Area review: The adaptation of La Casa De Papel has a local heart with a universal soul. It is a convincing ode to ...

Roping in a stellar starcast is half the battle won for Money Heist: Korea. To pick one actor and laud them might be very difficult. He’s dark and dreaded, much more than Pedro Alonso. He is outstanding, to say the least. The show has several romantic tracks in place, but the way this show builds the sexual tension between the characters is very different from what we’ve seen before. They target a mint set in an area on the lines of real-life Joint Security Area, a part of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) or the Truce Village, where all diplomatic negotiations between North Korea and South Korea are held. In the Spanish one, Denver had a burst of signature laughter but here, he has a saturi accent. We knew that this was going to be familiar territory and I am glad to report that the newness of the concept succeeded in keeping me on the edge of my seat for six hours of Money Heist Korea. Credit to the writers for understanding the extreme expectations they had to cater to.

Apart from the fresh background against which the heist unfolds, the show remains an almost faithful remake of the original and it is this predictability ...

There’s palpable tension between the workers at the Mint, and the task force officials who are both from North and South Korea. We also get elaborate backstories for some characters rooted in the social and economic outcomes of the geopolitical changes that have taken place. The six episodes set the stage for a second season, and end on a cliffhanger. Apart from the fresh background against which the heist unfolds, the show remains an almost faithful remake of the original and it is this predictability which becomes its undoing. A soldier and a BTS fan who moves from North Korea to the South, Tokyo (Jeon Jong-So) soon takes to crime before she is scouted by the Professor to join his crew of thieves. South Korean shows over the last year have done exceptionally well for the platform, with the likes of Squid Game and All of us are Dead still being discovered on a daily basis. Berlin (Park Hae-Soo) is the only one who has managed to make it out of a North Korean Labour camp where he was imprisoned for 25 years.

Rio is the youngest member of the team and a skilled hacker in 'Money Heist: Korea,' but Rio comes from extreme wealth, unlike in the Spanish series.

After removing a bullet from a hostage, he vomits in the bathroom. The Professor and Tokyo find him, encouraging him to face his life. In Money Heist, Rio thinks fondly of his family despite knowing of their disappointment in him. Annoyed at his father’s suggestion to re-enter, he goes on a joyride in his Ferrari and goes clubbing. But he has a strained relationship with his father over medical school. But unlike the original series, Rio’s story in the K-drama has different details and heartache.

The K-drama ends on a happy note, but the Spanish original has more turmoil and a wounded main character 'Money Heist: Korea' Season 2 had to address.

Money Heist: Korea Season 2 could also begin with Woo-jin (Kim Yun-jin) discovering the same at some point. Money Heist: Korea Season 2 might start with a bang. One of them is the disaster that ensues when the hostages try to escape. Money Heist: Korea ends at six, with the finale equivalent of Money Heist Episode 11. The finale is a montage of the characters celebrating, Denver’s (Kim Ji-hoon) sex scene and the Professor (Yoo Ji-tae) meeting with someone unexpected at his cafe. With only six episodes in Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area, it is a no-brainer that the K-drama will have a second season.

Money Heist: Korea is here to stay. There is great anticipation to see what changes this Korean drama hopes to surprise fans of the original plot with.

It could be said that he is a key character for the series. Oslo is the quietest thief of the group. Moscow is Denver's father, the kindest of the group. Lee Won Jong is an acting veteran and in this case he plays Moscow. He already has dozens of movies and dramas. He is one of the most introverted characters in the series. Denver is one of the more empathetic robbers. He already has dozens of movies and dramas. It is said that he has a pathological need to make a good impression. Yoo Ji Tae debuted in 1995 as a model and the following year he was already acting in Korean TV and movies. Park Hae Soo is the one who brings Berlin to life. Although she tends to be quite impulsive from time to time, which is why she strikes up a great relationship with Tokyo. We will be able to see a new version of Tokyo, Rio, Berlin, Denver, Nairobi, Oslo, Moscow and the Professor.
