I jumped straight into watching this review when I spotted it on the Money Heist subreddit, and I agree with most of your points, though I still like how they changed Berlin here. What I've noticed is that Netflix is ALREADY trying to appeal the audience from the success of Squid Game, seeing how Sang-woo's actor plays Berlin here. Ironically, despite being just as colorful (if not more) than Money Heist: Korea, Squid Game still managed to capture the vibes it aimed for (not really as deep as Money Heist, but you get the point). I think #2 of "What it Should Have Been" could be the best decision for Netflix to take if they wanted to expand the franchise to other countries, having at least one heist team inspired by the Spanish one, though it could've been more enjoyable to me if there was some major twist from it (e.g. the heist place being a shopping mall or department store, even if it sounds pretty silly). Although, I have to note you that this is only the first part of Season 1, not the entirety of it. A second part is scheduled to come out later this year.
First off, thank you for taking your time to watch the review! I do think the way they changed up Berlin was interesting, it is only sad that the literal dialogue sometimes was a bit off. I think a lot of the characters would have worked way better if the dialogue itself was better. And yes, I am aware this is only half of the season, hence why I focused more so on the characters than the plot. Because I do think there is still a chance it will improve in the second part. Albeit I don’t want to get my hopes up too much for that :’)
I missed your second paragraph! Yeah, we are very much on the same page if we are being serious [the third option was a bit for sarcasm’s sake]. Because even in our own world, it already inspired some robberies, so it would not be that far fetched to have the spanish heist inspire someone else in the universe of the show
The professor is emotionally vacant and therefore didn't consider the possibility of relationships, others or his own, interfering with the plan. Having him already be established to have a relationship with Raquel ruins it and takes away the element of him having to learn to embrace the emotional connections within the group rather than reject them as an unaccountable variable.
They should've made it explicitly clear that it's a shared universe. Have the Korean police go much harder on getting them out to avert having it go as bad as Spain, have the new professor not be as good, but acknowledge these as character flaws he tried to overcome. Don't have the same crew doing the same plan, make it clear that this is a different heist that was inspired by the first.
Sounds like a great idea in paper, but I doubt the political side of the showbiz in either korea or spain would say otherwise since we got what we got anyway. a culture shock of a show
I'm Spanish and currewntly learning Korean. Imo theres a HUGE disconnect from the Spanish culture/language from the Korean one. Spain and it's people are very outgoing, no filter, direct. Korean is a high context language where manners and respect are above anything else. Watching Money Heist in Spanish, theres many details foreigners miss, e.g. Nairobi has some talking quirks, like the way she modifies words to sound slightly more raunchy, or her sound effects. Or take officer Tamayo, who has a wide range of swears he uses that make his speeches entertaining. The whole show is kind of a culture shock for foreigners, lots of sexual references, very creative insults and generally a story about a war against the government. It simply cannot be replicated by another culture, especially not by one that is almost the complete opposite to the Spanish one.
Theres more things that cant be replicated if the show isnt spanish, ill give u examples. -Berlin and the professor sometimes speak Italian (singing, or to the monks in s5), many Spanish people have learnt other romanic languages, so this connect between cultures isnt that far off. My dad learnt Italian and could def sing a song in Italian -The entire "the government is corrupt and evil" plot in the 2nd part (seasons 3-5),. the whole season and its story line is very adapted to Spain, it'd be hard to say that Rio gets tortured in Argelia. Where'd he go,, Mongolia? It has to be somewhere nearby. -Money Heist brings many progressive ideas e.g. in S1 we see Raquel struggle with not being taken seriously by her male coworkers, later having to deal w the consequences of her leaving the workforce even though she continuously got misogynistic comments. How would a Korean show remake this? Korea is quite conservative and most celebrities dont even openly say theyre feminist -More differences in the way characters talk. Denver/Nairobi are raunchy, Monica is v articulate, Tokyo swears a lot but speaks normally. etc
I'm Argentine, I watched the first 2 seasons and even though I didn't see this Korean version, I couldn't agree more with what you say. The idioms and way of speaking are key in the construction of characters and in the contextualization of the story that is to be told.
I never watched the original before the korean version, so I did not dislike the korean version, but after finishing the korean version I went ahead to watch the original and, damn, the original is MUCH MUCH better than the korean one, the korean one is literally the same story line but kdramafied, after finishing the original, looking back at the korean one is really cringe
@@andrewreviews I'm glad i found this channel as well, why do u only have 32 subs? I honestly didn't realize until I commented, the production quality is really good, keep going!
The thing is, I thought professor and Korean Raquel knew each other for months because he had approached her strategically in order for her to be a key to the escape! I thought he was saving his last card, only to use her in the pivotal moment and save the day. But no, I expected too much of the writers (or should I say, script translators). Though their relationship was cute, it had no place in this series. Overall, apart from Tokyo (which is played by a skilled famous actress), every other character fell flat for me. They can't expect to copy dialogues without considering the cultural differences that wouldn't permit this kind of adaption. I watched it after the original, because I love kdramas. But I realised, as you did in this video, that a remake has to have 1. Purpose 2. Distinct style and 3. Twists that the original doesn't
Why take Tokyo put of the complaint? In the original she was a sexy hot head. In this she is an androgynous robot. Look at the first 11 minutes of each series. The Korean Tokyo is bland. Nothing going on between her and the men. In the original, she'd got 3 of the heisters checking her out. In the Korean version she is stoic and non emotional. This isn't the same character. And they ruined all of them. Not a single character is anywhere near as good as the original. I started to cheer for the police 20 minutes into the series. That's how bad this version is.
It should be a spin off instead. What happened in Spain, inspired a copycats all around the world, including Korea. They can even have Professor cameo in the end.
Truthfully I couldn’t get past the first two episodes. I love K-dramas and I love Money Heist but maybe the two shouldn’t have come together. I wrote it off at first but then I thought no, let me give it chance. The acting in k-dramas can be so over the top almost bordering on theatrical and I think putting that with the heaviness of Money Heist just doesn’t work. Even culturally, I was wondering how this adaptation would mesh. Korea is pretty conservative and Money Heist was not afraid to show skin so that was another thing that threw me off. Also in Money Heist Tokyo and Rio have a relationship and the way Rio was written in the adaptation and how he acted was too childish.
I am soo glad that you critiqued this! I saw the remake quite recently and it caused me pain, it really does not compare. I was hooked by yhe whole North and South reunification background but it just doesn't hold. The professor was an insult to the original performance. The scene where he gets rid of the car was AMAZING in the original, well thought out and it kept me on my toes, but the remake.... was beyond disappointing. I would love a part 2 of this video!
They only take the cosmetics but not the core of the movie. It's a mere "Money Heist" while the Spanish one embodies the true spirit of "La Casa de Papel" which reflects on the pseudovalue of money. It would be much interesting if they built another world around the Korean economic system with a shared message between the series. Perhaps the Korean gang is inspired by the event of the first heist in Spain.
IMO, the Korean remake is a big insult to the creativity of Korean writers! They are one of the world's best and Netflix should've given them the liberty to create a uniquely Korean heist story.
Agree. They didn't wanna pay out to Korean writers and producers to create their original story based on the money heist series and theme so they just tried to rehash what they've already done.
This is why they should've released all eps in one season. Now ppl misunderstood it as a bad show with the same story but in the end, not so much tbh😕😮💨
the cinematography in MH Korea looks like they saw how successfully squid game used a vibrant colour pallet to fit with its themes and put it in MHK but failed to understand that it doesn't fit with the tone of its show
I feel like it is money heist but in a different genre, but sometimes you shouldn't change the genre or tone when remaking a show. I think some people like shows that feel less serious (Korean money heist) and some people like a show that is more serious (og money heist). But I think this show's original tone fit everything perfectly for the culture and the context, but the Korean one has a tone that feels weird for the subject. I also hate what they did with Nairobi's character like I feel like they made her and the other characters more one note, which sucks and makes it feel more like a stereotype of the original characters without thinking about what the original characters really were. They could've made a different show instead of making it connected to the original show that I feel like did the plot and characters better. But I'm glad some people enjoyed it I guess, I couldn't finish the first episode.
well, idk if this is an unpopular opinion (it is) but i like korean tokyo so much more than the original tokyo, i mean, I always hated tokyo, she was WAY too much annoying for my sanity and her old love story with that random guy just put me to sleep. korean tokyo has the essence of the original BUT without being so annoying and i really like that. I also like korean río, i think he has more likeable personality than the original, and i like the actor who plays berlín, his acting is good and i think he went for another direction in terms of his personality instead of being straight up a copy. and yeah, the professor is awful, i understand that it was a hard role to do but... it's awful.
ok. so. you're right. with everything, especially the professor. although I found it amusing that he's somewhat stupid. but there's still a reason why I like the remake. Park Haesoo as Berlin is just great.
Money Heist or La casa de Papel was great in the first two seasons, but with the third season they really fell off, it was full of plot holes, things that were too forced into the story, it honestly became awful and irredemable
The show is an insult, plain and simple. The show is a mockery of the original, its cringe and bleak, the characters are so bizarre with such an obvious cultural dissonance to the script and storyline. That being money heist is a revolution to the latin population in a sense, and bella ciao holds that significance, the professors dismay with corruption and his fathers execution pushed him to fulfil the heist, the remaks is a glorified kdrama. They took the characters carved out the soul, and made them hollow. Now, i like a kdrama, the glory was insane, parasite was (and is) oscar worthy, bloodhounds etc... a common theme here is they're impactful and meaningful stories that dont ride off the fame of another.
It would have been amazing to have it in the same universe where the either el profesor establishes multiple different heists around the world giving reason to let there be a different version of La Casa de Papel in every country if they so pls, or to have the different countries be interested in their big heist and want to do it themselves having different special cities as names and their own way of doing things. I loved the original for the character growth and intensity of scenes dipping between story, violence, and love all in this big awesome soup, but it also felt like a celebration of spanish culture. If Korea could have taken it into their own vibes and cities and really delved into the affects and what ifs of the aftermath of the korean war and subsequent events it could have been a compelling shift
Lol did u listen to any of the points he made? This isnt just cuz he likes the og more the korean versioms has some rlly big tone and pacing issues as well as line delivery
@@barry4649 Nah I tried korean version and loved it so I decided to watch the other one and I got bored and pissed because toyko started breaking thing and having relationship I stopped watching it after I saw tokyo break all those gadget in the first 3 episode
Hmm, as someone who saw the Korean version first before the Spanish version. It's was quite hard for me to get into the spanish one because among other reasons, Korean Tokyo was so much smarter than the really annoying Spanish one that kept making stupid decisions. The professor love story addition makes it quite relatably engaging. And Berlin seemed much smarter and not sex-driven than the spanish one.
Many countries had made their own remakes of other foreign series, Not only Korea. People's tastes are subjective, you may like it or not and that's ok. I won't get over the fact that Tokyo chose the name because of the impact and significance of the Japanese invasion of Korea. They really did that
It was probably just because of the popularity in korean media which is understandable as it did rather well with korean viewers and international korean media fans like people who listen to k-pop or watch kdramas
I couldn't even finish the first episode. The filming was awful, characters are simultaneously one note and bland, and the story is spoonfed as if they don't trust the ADULT audience to understand that the Joint Economics would have complexities. Instead they want the audience to have one simplified opinion about it. The way characters are introduced are as if they're just props to a story and not real people with actual backgrounds. You don't need more than one episode to introduce everyone well. The cast is stacked, so it's clearly the creative and directive teams. It's not K Dramafied, it's just dumbed down and also in Korean. 1/10.
The casts’ performance and acting experience saved it FR. Without them this already below average series would have been a real dump show. Absolutely ALL of the cast are known to be beasts in the sk acting industry. It’s a shame. Could’ve been better.
They should make money heist: Korea not a remake but people Who watch The heist in Spain and make their own heist in Korea in The same world, that Will be nice, not repeating everithing with korean actores
I never watched the original one so for me the Korean version is great if their view as their own it’s gret but I’m sure if I seen the original one first I would have liked it more and not be interested in the remake
It's just lazy on Netflix's part. They should've come up with a NEW storyline using the money heist costumes/themes/aesthetics. But netflix wanted to cheap out - they didn't wanna pay writers to create a new story and script so they just recycled shit they've already made.
Right when I saw the trailer, I already dont like this. Because I already watched the money heist so why would I watch another remake. It would be better if they followed up with professors friend in korea or something like that.
( sorry for writing a lot, I just finished the show and I felt that this video was very interesting ) honestly at first I high disagreed with your points and I felt that you were just biased, but after continuing the video you started opening my perspective and bringing light to the differences. however, I still think some of these could be disbunked/disagreed. for example i feel like the different appeals sort of matter, ive watched some korean shows and there are definitely differences through the atmosphere compared to other shows. something else that I noticed was the professor is humane and emotional in the Korean version, which is probably why he made some dumb choices that affected the plan. I can definitely see why he decided to approach the inspector 2 months before the plan, to try to diffuse suspicion and try to get to know her better, but couldn’t that amount of time be deducted? I really don’t understand how he couldn’t comprehend that maybe he might’ve caught actual feelings, ( which he did ) and potentially mess up the plan. honestly if it weren’t for the inspector liking him back and sympathizing for him, I definitely don’t think they would’ve made it this far. another thing that bothered me was also the lines, I completely agree with you on how the lines were unnecessary and a bit weird too? like why were they talking about THAT while in the middle of negotiating a literal hostage situation, and her praising him for it calling him a good negotiator with almost 0 context just absolutely doesn’t add up. overall, I honestly really enjoyed it and I would consider it a really good show. however, I definitely understand why some of the og money heist fans could be upset and dislike the version, but I think that it has a lot to do with different cultural appeal maybe?
I did not think the Spanish version was that good hence it flopped in Spain. You did not get the tension and suspense. In that area Korean one did pretty well. You never felt the prof in Spanish version ever was in danger. Whereas Korean one did. Father son dynamic was better in Korean version. Also all of a sudden a nerdy professor beating up a lieutenant, a season cop did not make any sense. Also I liked the additional help professor had outside in Korean version.
Money heist had one of the worst endings i have ever seen in my entire life, the past parts went from really good, to good, to okay, and the end is just bad
The only thing i agree with you here is that the remake is made too soon. Personally, i do like the korean version as i never watched the og in full except for some parts. For me, your argument is like why white skin is beautiful than black skinned people. Yes, you and others like it and we respect that but dont dump those who like this version.
I didn’t watch the og before the remake….the original was always on my to watch list and I never did and I didn’t have any planes to any time soon I like the Korean vr and the original is fine two neither of them wowed me but I’d have to say this debate whether one is better than the other needs to stop because I’ve seen so many xenophobic comments it’s like getting out of hand it’s not that serious the Director of the original literally made the Korean version and approved it, so why are we arguing…..
Watch the second half of the show, it might still have some problems but a lot of the things done wrong mentioned in this video were at least made up for, not perfectly, but they at least try to make up for a lot of the plot holes that has been brought up by many reviewers after the first half released
Now that I have watched both parts of money heist korea i can say that it was not that bad .well i think most people dislike the korean version might be because they might had higher expectations about this series and for a person like me who has never watched la casa de papel i didn't know what to expect and the whole episodes were engaging and it has a happy ending so I'm good i liked it.
some of ya'll thinking this one is greater than the original are just coping or straight up simpin for korean remakes, this one is one those remake that shouldn't have been made in the first place, especially if its this bad.
I loved the kdramafied version of the original money heist. The original bored me to death since episode 1. I like lighthearted series the most so I liked the korean version of course
the koreans didn't know how to convey the suspense and adrenaline rush you got got from the original. also, Alba flores as Nairobi is just undupeable, the remake is like a decaff version. and though the original lost following towards the end it still close in a way that was likeable
Did you like the remake?
How would you do the remake?

Watch the original one, the remake is literally just the other one translated and made worse somehow
@@barry4649frr
@@barry4649 Nah I tried korean version and loved it so I decided to watch the other one and I got bored and pissed because toyko started breaking thing and having relationship I stopped watching it after I saw tokyo break all those gadget in the first 3 episode
Hmm, as someone who saw the Korean version first before the Spanish version. It's was quite hard for me to get into the spanish one because among other reasons, Korean Tokyo was so much smarter than the really annoying Spanish one that kept making stupid decisions. The professor love story addition makes it quite relatably engaging. And Berlin seemed much smarter and not sex-driven than the spanish one.
Many countries had made their own remakes of other foreign series, Not only Korea. People's tastes are subjective, you may like it or not and that's ok.
I won't get over the fact that Tokyo chose the name because of the impact and
significance of the Japanese invasion of Korea. They really did that
It was probably just because of the popularity in korean media which is understandable as it did rather well with korean viewers and international korean media fans like people who listen to k-pop or watch kdramas
I couldn't even finish the first episode. The filming was awful, characters are simultaneously one note and bland, and the story is spoonfed as if they don't trust the ADULT audience to understand that the Joint Economics would have complexities. Instead they want the audience to have one simplified opinion about it. The way characters are introduced are as if they're just props to a story and not real people with actual backgrounds. You don't need more than one episode to introduce everyone well. The cast is stacked, so it's clearly the creative and directive teams. It's not K Dramafied, it's just dumbed down and also in Korean. 1/10.
The casts’ performance and acting experience saved it FR. Without them this already below average series would have been a real dump show. Absolutely ALL of the cast are known to be beasts in the sk acting industry. It’s a shame. Could’ve been better.
I love both very much. And season two made it much better
They should make money heist: Korea not a remake but people Who watch The heist in Spain and make their own heist in Korea in The same world, that Will be nice, not repeating everithing with korean actores
I never watched the original one so for me the Korean version is great if their view as their own it’s gret but I’m sure if I seen the original one first I would have liked it more and not be interested in the remake
Please watch the original version it is way much better and u would 100% love it!
Perfect Video for 2am
It's just lazy on Netflix's part. They should've come up with a NEW storyline using the money heist costumes/themes/aesthetics. But netflix wanted to cheap out - they didn't wanna pay writers to create a new story and script so they just recycled shit they've already made.
awesome vid keep it up 🙏
Thank you!
I can barely finish the 1st episode, it's that bad...
I didn't like it at all. OG Money Heist was pinnacle and perfect. It didn't need another version.
they translate in english to money heist oh my god
I agree 10000% the remake is so trash 💀
The original one should not exist and the korean one is more thrilling
Right when I saw the trailer, I already dont like this. Because I already watched the money heist so why would I watch another remake. It would be better if they followed up with professors friend in korea or something like that.
( sorry for writing a lot, I just finished the show and I felt that this video was very interesting )
honestly at first I high disagreed with your points and I felt that you were just biased, but after continuing the video you started opening my perspective and bringing light to the differences. however, I still think some of these could be disbunked/disagreed. for example i feel like the different appeals sort of matter, ive watched some korean shows and there are definitely differences through the atmosphere compared to other shows.
something else that I noticed was the professor is humane and emotional in the Korean version, which is probably why he made some dumb choices that affected the plan. I can definitely see why he decided to approach the inspector 2 months before the plan, to try to diffuse suspicion and try to get to know her better, but couldn’t that amount of time be deducted? I really don’t understand how he couldn’t comprehend that maybe he might’ve caught actual feelings, ( which he did ) and potentially mess up the plan. honestly if it weren’t for the inspector liking him back and sympathizing for him, I definitely don’t think they would’ve made it this far.
another thing that bothered me was also the lines, I completely agree with you on how the lines were unnecessary and a bit weird too? like why were they talking about THAT while in the middle of negotiating a literal hostage situation, and her praising him for it calling him a good negotiator with almost 0 context just absolutely doesn’t add up.
overall, I honestly really enjoyed it and I would consider it a really good show. however, I definitely understand why some of the og money heist fans could be upset and dislike the version, but I think that it has a lot to do with different cultural appeal maybe?
I did not think the Spanish version was that good hence it flopped in Spain. You did not get the tension and suspense. In that area Korean one did pretty well. You never felt the prof in Spanish version ever was in danger. Whereas Korean one did. Father son dynamic was better in Korean version. Also all of a sudden a nerdy professor beating up a lieutenant, a season cop did not make any sense. Also I liked the additional help professor had outside in Korean version.
The hype the tension the strategic mind battle with the original is not there on the remake huhuhuhu
Money heist had one of the worst endings i have ever seen in my entire life, the past parts went from really good, to good, to okay, and the end is just bad
The only thing i agree with you here is that the remake is made too soon. Personally, i do like the korean version as i never watched the og in full except for some parts. For me, your argument is like why white skin is beautiful than black skinned people. Yes, you and others like it and we respect that but dont dump those who like this version.
That comparison of my argument with comparisons between different skin is really off-color mate.
This is an INSANE comparison to make like wtf is wrong with you
I watched both and I enjoyed them both 😊
But Korean Money Heist is good too
I didn’t watch the og before the remake….the original was always on my to watch list and I never did and I didn’t have any planes to any time soon I like the Korean vr and the original is fine two neither of them wowed me but I’d have to say this debate whether one is better than the other needs to stop because I’ve seen so many xenophobic comments it’s like getting out of hand it’s not that serious the Director of the original literally made the Korean version and approved it, so why are we arguing…..
Watch the second half of the show, it might still have some problems but a lot of the things done wrong mentioned in this video were at least made up for, not perfectly, but they at least try to make up for a lot of the plot holes that has been brought up by many reviewers after the first half released
Already watched it, review underway!
Now that I have watched both parts of money heist korea i can say that it was not that bad .well i think most people dislike the korean version might be because they might had higher expectations about this series and for a person like me who has never watched la casa de papel i didn't know what to expect and the whole episodes were engaging and it has a happy ending so I'm good i liked it.
I do liked Korea money heist
some of ya'll thinking this one is greater than the original are just coping or straight up simpin for korean remakes, this one is one those remake that shouldn't have been made in the first place, especially if its this bad.
Why is this show called something else everywhere?
Glad I didn't watch this version 💀
W vid lol
I loved the kdramafied version of the original money heist. The original bored me to death since episode 1. I like lighthearted series the most so I liked the korean version of course
💀💀💀
@@sk8aintstr813 LMAO your username 🤣💀
I was hoping it not to be a remake but just another Money heist copycat group of people
This.
the koreans didn't know how to convey the suspense and adrenaline rush you got got from the original. also, Alba flores as Nairobi is just undupeable, the remake is like a decaff version. and though the original lost following towards the end it still close in a way that was likeable
I liked the Korean version better than the og
I watched the latter half of this show, and I have come to a conclusion:
They will not make MH Korea season 2.
Funfact korean ver. actually better than the original one...
In what universe?
@@rafafc4127 every ig
