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.

The story is more rushed, the acting is way worse and the overall vibe is just off. I gave it a chance but this is a poor man's version. Trying to copy a masterpiece especially so recently rarely works out. If you haven't seen the original don't watch this go watch that. If you've seen the original you'll be bored of this before the first episode ends. HARD PASS.

It's not even copy and paste because it's worse.

"Mom, can we have Money Heist at home?"

"We already have Money Heist at home"

*Money Heist at home:

I mean it is an exact copy of the season 1 of the original Money Heist. Denver laugh is also copied, so just one question what was the point of this remake.

To give a show a 1 star rating just because it's similar to the original show is petty and ridiculous. The show is its own. It's good, it's well-acted, the SFX are great. If you haven't seen the Spanish version, or if you're not the type to hold insane standards for recreations, give the show a shot.

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.

A bad show, now in korean edition. It should have been an original story inspired by the events of the previous one, but it Just was like a hollywood generic remake without a soul.

As someone who watched and loved the original Money Heist (La Casa De Papel), this review will be based on both similarities and differences between the two.

The beginning of the series, Tokyo's backstory, is captivating and original yet takes elements from the Spanish (og) version. It was nice to see the screenwriters take on a more Korean style while sticking to the original story. It was fast-paced and not much of the story before the heist was shown which was slightly different from the original series but it's understandable considering the writers tried to squeeze as much of the original story for the first heist in 12 episodes (as the original version had 23 episodes meant for the first heist).

I do wish the remake showed a more original and unique approach as the show was mostly very similar to identical to the original.

The acting was, in my honest opinion, average. There were moments and actors that I adored like Park Hae Soo as Berlin or Lee Joo Bin as Yun Mi Seon (OG Monica/Stockholm) and her chemistry with Kim Hi Joon aka Denver. However, the acting didn't exceed my expectations. I still enjoyed the first half of the show that aired so far.

The cinematography and directing style was something that I truly enjoyed. The shots weren't necessarily long (most of the time) and the brightness and coloring of the show were pretty to watch.

In the end, I will say that the original version is better than this remake but it still is enjoyable to watch.

So if you watch this show as a new one it's a really cool show and it can make you busy, but if you start comparing every moment with the original show you're just wasting your time. I personally enjoyed it.

Cast played really well, you can actually make a connection with cast Denver, Moscow, Berlin and especially Tokyo did awesome at this show, some scenes are different from the original.

If you don't have any show to watch or you're just bored I actually recommend it. It's pretty dumb when people give it 1 because it's similar with original. I mean it's just a remake. You should just enjoy it and the amazing cast gave me that joy.

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.

Wow, what a disappointment. I'd eagerly waited for this show, hoping a Korean version would offer a new twist to the basic premise of the original show. For anyone who has seen the original show, there is absolutely nothing this version offers. In summary,

Pros: 1) Familiar faces: Negotiator (from Lost), professor (from Old boy), Berlin (from Squid Game), Tokyo (from Burning), and mint director (dungeon guy from Parasite) 2) South Korea, North Korea dynamics: The South and North set up created natural conflict and dynamics.

Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE.

For non-Korean speaking audience, they won't catch the poorly executed regional accents. There are some cringe worthy acting and plot holes, which also plagued the original show. In conclusion, just a very lazy effort.

I knew it was hard not to compare it with the original while watching it, and was ultra aware not to set too high an expectation . But the story is like a direct replicate of everything, just of lower budget. I'd rather choose to watch the original series again just for the much more beautiful actors and the originality. The same applies even if i were Korean, means i'd rather watch the original again with Korean dubbing.

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.

I tried to convince myself to watch through the first three episodes, and I cannot stand it anymore for tolerating the whole story play being copied without making any effort to generate somehow a different creativity. I suggest Spain producer team shall suit the Korean team for every penny!

What a shame for these Koreans since they got such a prosperity of reputation in TV soap industry for such a long time.

I came here to check the cast, but ended up signing up IMDB to leave my review because there are so many ridiculous negative reviews here. What I don't really get the most is that those reviews saying that this show is the exact copy of the original Money Heist, 2017. Do you even know the meaning of "Remake"? Of course it has to be the same as the original script. Furthermore, if this korean remake made some changes instead of adopting the original, I guarantee 100% there will be another group of people who will leave negative reviews because it's not the same as the original. The most ridiculous reviews among those negative reviews are the ones claiming how original the Money Heist is. The plot and the characters in Money Heist are adapted or "copied" a lot from Hollywood heist movies. Nothing in Money Heist is by any means "new" or "original".

I started watching this korean remake because I was wondering how they adopted some of the things in the original show, and I ended up watching it all. Overall, it wasn't that bad. I mostly enjoyed he different aspect of the same show. So I highly doubt those who left negative reviews actually watched the show. I think they only watched the reactions of the show from youtube.

What the hell with the low rating ? It's a remake series so it's basically copy paste movie with different actor, time and languange. So what you guys expect? Please be fair here, you guys not enjoyed watching this ? I can't lie, compare to the original, they doesn't gave enough vibe as the original but this is pretty good remake. If someone who doesn't watch la casa de papel, they'll pretty much enjoy this series as much as we enjoy the original one. They're not 100% copy, they add some fiction location, local cultures and local social critics in there. It's not that bad.

There is no effort to even bring some originality to it.

I have watched the orignal so I will say this it's better to see that or if you have watched it to watch that rather than this version it takes all the magic away this version.

Though this would be a different storyline same mint same Berlin same professor same Tokyo same Arturo nothing is different except their names and the city it's short in.

I just saw it and it was really good. I dont get it why ppl are giving 1star! Pls dont compare it with the original it was remake but there were differences of course.

Looks like B grade low budget remake trying to achieve Global fame. If you wanted to remake you just have to remake in Korean language only, why to remake in other languages,we already seen the original.

Why watch this?? It's exactly the same as the original... even the city names are the same!!?? There is nothing new at all with this show.

It's not a REMAKE- nothing was remade. It's a copy. You're not going watch it if you liked the original.
