    It's honestly horrible. Same story, different location. What a waste of money and time. The acting and dialogue is even worse, often copied from the original Money Heist. Money Heist Korea is quite possibly the laziest series ever created.

    The show could have improved some parts of the original series but it doesn't and leaves with a bad taste. 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.

    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.

    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 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.
