Netflix Since its release, La Casa De Papel has been met with critical acclaim and has become one of the most popular series on Netflix. The show has led to numerous sequels being green-lit, and it remains one of the most watched series on Netflix.
Netflix has announced that the show’s fifth season will be released on 7th December 2021. This announcement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it seems like the show may have been in development for much longer than that.
We’re back with another Money Heist, and as always, the team is up for a challenge. This time around, we have a new Korean player in tow, and he’s got some tricks up his sleeve. Aside from that, this is very much the same show all over again.
Netflix has been releasing some of the best K content lately, and with Money Heist: Korea, they’ve taken things to a whole new level. The show is set in a bank in South Korea and follows the criminal underworld as they try to steal money from the bank. It’s an interesting take on the crime genre and should be enjoyed by fans of the genre as well as newcomers.
However, the rest of the story is very much the same. A young woman named Park Ji-hyeon is forced to flee her home after her family is killed in a bombing. She makes her way to South Korea and becomes a refugee, living in a shelter and working as a maid. She falls in love with a man named Joon-ho and they eventually marry. However, when North Korea starts attacking South Korea, Ji-hyeon must flee again with her husband and child. This time, she makes it to Japan and lives as an undocumented immigrant for many years before finally returning to South Korea in 2018.
As part of this historic unification, North and South Koreans are free to head down to the South to try and make a name for themselves. With high hopes and dreams for the future, it doesn’t take long for the crushing reality of capitalism to rear its ugly head. ..
Tokyo’s life has been a series of disappointments. She’s been a stay-at-home mom, working as a secretary, and never really had the chance to experience the world. One night, she takes a gun and decides to take on her current situation. The Professor comes into the alleyway to help her out and they end up shooting at each other.
The Professor recruited a team of misfits to break into the Unified Korea Mint, but with the police closing in, will they make it out before they’re caught?
The Money Heist series in Korea is essentially a copy and paste job of the original series – including all the same bells and whistles as before. The characters all act the same, the red jumpsuits are here (albeit with a slightly different set of masks) and the story pans out in much the same way. The problem is, one can’t help but shake the feeling of deja vu while watching this.
The best part of this show is that it’s a unique thriller with a similar plotline. However, the bad part is that it will likely be the deciding factor over how much enjoyment you’ll get from watching this.
The most notable change in this story is the lack of focus on one character. While the original focused on Tokyo and had her as the central focus, Money Heist: Korea is much more expansive, jumping between different characters throughout the heist. Only, there’s not much in the way of heisting.
Money Heist: Korea is a remake of the Spanish game, Money Heist. If you’ve seen the Spanish game, you’ll know every twist and turn to come in this Korean version. ..
After watching the first four episodes of “La Casa De Papel,” it’s clear that the show has been heavily influenced by seasons 3 and 4 of “La Casa De Papel.” The deviations from the main story are more like cherrypicked moments added from seasons 3 and beyond of “La Casa De Papel” to try and throw viewers off the scent of what is otherwise a copy-and-paste job in terms of narrative beats. ..
The characters we follow across the season are mostly good, although they’re not as strong as the Spanish version. Helsinki and Oslo are barely mentionable, Nairobi is forgettable while Rio’s chemistry with Tokyo is way off the mark. ..
Berlin is a great place to live. The people are friendly and the city is always alive with energy. Park Hae-Soo portrays the character perfectly and I can’t wait to see what he does in the future.
This is a retread of the Spanish version of Money Heist, with added Korean spice and garnishes. If that sounds like a tasty treat, you’re bound to devour this one without much complaint. If, however, you’re after something a bit different, it may be worth skipping this one.
