Season 1 Review: One might come for the caper but will stay for the characters. They are all interesting individually but dynamic collectively. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Money Heist: Korea gets progressively better and culminates in a season finale cliffhanger that, much like the original, will test the Professor’s moral compass — or lack thereof. The all-star cast is more than capable of delivering the goods. Yet the lack of chemistry between the romantic partners hinders, rather than enhances the plot. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The storyline of North and South Korea reunifying as a "Joint Economic Area" is intriguing, and there are all kinds of little variations to point out (the masks, for instance, are not Salvador Dali-inspired). Director Kim and writer Ryu say that their version of the iconic characters reflect Korean idiosyncracies, but these may be too subtle for non-Korean viewers to detect. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Money Heist: Korea is still a lot of fun – as cartoonish and chaotic as expected – but to build an imagined world and then rehash exactly the same story feels like a missed opportunity. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Money Heist: Korea stays rigidly faithful to the style and tone of the original, even down to the colour palette, direction and casting. ... Consequently, it's hard to get excited about even the strongest performances – such as Squid Game villain Park Hae-soo's take on Berlin – as they feel like little more than glorified impersonations.

Season 1 Review: As is so often the case with modern small-screen affairs, more is definitely not better, with a lack of concision leading to wheel-spinning detours and unnecessary subplots. More troubling for director Kim Hong-sun’s thriller, however, is the same thing that plagues Pina’s popular original: a surplus of cheesiness. Read full review

*Coming from someone who hasnt watched the original money heist*

So far i love this show and can't wait for part 2 to come out. Its brilliant, fast paced, emotional, funny, and great acting. I really am starting to love these korean shows, my only issue is that its only 6 episodes long and*Coming from someone who hasnt watched the original money heist*

Gdyby bardziej pociągnęli koncept zjednoczenia obu Korei i konsekwencji tego zamiast bez namysłu kopiować hiszpański oryginał wyszłoby coś ciekawego a tak to ni
