The Episode Review
This series is interesting because it’s going in a different direction from the original Spanish series. There are a few references to the original script that confirm this, and the show is stronger for it.
Although the focus has been on making money and smuggling it out, everything else is going according to plan. ..
This remake of “The Handmaid’s Tale” has been praised for sticking closely to the source material, with the idea of a unified Korea being a good one. Berlin has been fantastic and easily the stand-out of this whole show, with Park Hae-Soo delivering charisma and flair. ..
Despite some noticeable changes, the visual flair and tension of Money Heist: Korea largely manages to hold its own against the original. ..
This is an enjoyable thrill ride all the same, with the ending hinting that this second part is going to go in a very different direction moving forward.
