Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area (2022)
Berlin and Denver saved this show
If you watched without seeing the original, I'm pretty sure you'll like this, as it has some entertaining elements that are quite impactful. BUT, if you've seen the original ver, then this Korean ver is just VERY VERY BIG NO. I finally understand why there are so many negative comments here.
The original is very solid. Money Heist was made for audiences to sympathize with the robbers, the bad guys, and they succeeded because of the fun and touching inner bond of the characters. While the Korean there is no inner bond at all. They're just robbers with emotional roller coaster and love line. They're not comrades. The character is not alive. They're just actors who are acting.
I don't know why Tokyo looks more annoying here. Rio was weaker than the original. Nairobi is more ruthless and domineering. And the Professor looks like a sociopath rather than an introvert like El Professor. The only ones I like are Berlin and Denver. They look the same but are actually VERY DIFFERENT from the original. Thats how Berlin and Denver characters saved this show.
