56} Our view:We usually don't do "short stories of long stories" reviews (after all, you don't get paid for a one-sentence review), but in short: you If you are a fan Money Heist, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic AreaLong version: Money Heist: Korearaises all the same inventory and inventory issues that drove the Spanish original, but Korean dramas like the squid gameare popular here. Add everything you made to the state. The professor and his crew are all introduced in an instant way to show what they bring to the team. Tokyo is our narrator and much of the story is central. The first episode has twists and turns, like how the professor can take advantage of the North-South competition. And there are plenty of places for crew and hostages to throw monkey wrench into the professor's finely tuned plans.
But that's all done through Korean lenses. Even the monetary bureaus in this fictitious co-economic region, the target of robbery, make the show more like a Korean brother than just a remake. This speaks to the idea that South Korea will meet again in the near future. Inserting the issues that may arise from the reunification creates a story element that separates this version from the Spanish original.
Yu as a professor, Jung as Tokyo, and Kim as Song Woo Jin all have great performances, each providing the right tone to make the show less and the best robbery. To do. A series of and more layered treaties on the economic gap that everyone is suffering at this stage of world history.
Sex and Skin:Although not the first episode, Tokyo rarely escapes sexual attacks before being "discovered" by a professor.
Farewell shot:The crew discovers how to escape for 4 trillion won when they find a printer. “This will be a revolution in the history of crime,” says the professor at the planning stage.
Sleeper Star:Park Hess is Berlin, one of the few people to escape from a concentrated camp in North Korea. He looks cool under pressure and could be the leader of the crew on the ground alongside Tokyo.
Most pilot lines:When the daughter of the US ambassador enters the museum at the Monetary Authority with her class, Nairobi says "munchkin comes in" in Berlin. She "munchkin." She asks Tokyo. "Anything that makes sense is true," Nairobi replies.
Our call:STREAMIT. Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Areaeffectively sets up a central robbery, provides all characters, and puts the story in a very Korean context.
