Money Heist: Korea

I didn't watch the original Money Heist because of the same old plot or typical theme of heist movies; a brainiac forming a ragtag team of people to steal the money from a rich. There will be love, betrayal, and plot twist. I felt like I had already watched the show. However, the only reason I watched this show is because it's kdrama, expecting something korean. I didn't expect anything plot-wise.

Half way through I like it so far. It's a very fast paced korean show which makes me surprised a lot because korean dramas (and korean movies too) usually have a lot of drag moments, but not in this one.

The show is really not that bad. People just leave the negative reviews because this show is simply a remake. Have any remakes or reboots received good reviews ever? No, never. People won't have that.

A great twist on the original with a conceptualized new reality in Korea. I'm not from Korea but I totally enjoy the new storyline, with better backstories and acting.

The biggest negative is the fact that people know this is a remake. You can't get it out of your mind. The first episode isn't great. But, actually I finished the series because it was entertaining until the end. And I almost never finish a series. I think if it was more self aware, for example, maybe they were aware of the other Money Heist and literally copied it as a movement or something then it would have played out better.

To be brief, i think the acting on the korean one was better, also they didnt drag the plot as much as the spanish one (spanish series tend to do that). I wasnt really a fan of the original one to begin with so this version seems just as okay to me. If you are planning on watching it just know is the exact thing with better acting, in my opinion. I dont think it deserves a rating as low as 1, it cant be worse if its the same.

I watched original version when it was out. I think i watched first 2 seasons. It was quite a long ago so i dont remember all the details. So i enjoyed this korean remake with their geopolitical twist. So far it was interesting. Not sure i will watch more than 2 seasons tho.
