    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.

    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.

    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.

Setting it up in a unified Korea with was a great original idea but sadly they don't play with it as much as they should (why is it only Berlin that understand that he can use that against the ostages). I would love to see some of the actors with better material to play with.
