Money Heist Korea just unveiled a new trailer before its launch on Netflix on June 24. Here&#039;s what the fans feel about the spin off.

Is ‘Money Heist: Korea’ Possibly the Best Remake of ‘La Casa de Papel&#8217; That Can Be?

While Money Heist a.k.a La Casa de Papel ended last year, fans had reasons to
celebrate as Korea had announced a remake of the Spanish series. The Korean
makers have unveiled a trailer for the remake which introduces the new players
to the viewers. Although the core plot is lifted from the Spanish series and the
makers have made certain changes to make sure the remake isn’t a carbon copy of
the original. Korea has already cemented itself as a master storyteller, but can
Korea really outdo the brilliant original series? 


IS MONEY HEIST KOREA THE BEST REMAKE OF THE ORIGINAL SPANISH SERIES? 

It is touted as a remake but we have reasons to believe that it isn’t a
copy-paste. Kim Hong Sun has definitely made some changes. For once the Hahoe
masks replace the Salvador Dali masks. Secondly, the Korean spin-off narrative
is more politically charged than the original. It showcases two Koreas on the
brink of unification. The governments have established a Joint Security Area and
a Unified Korea Mint. Our lawbreakers are going to target the Unified Korea
Mint. Well because they think unification isn’t exactly bridging the gap between
the rich and the poor. 



Yoo Ji Tae will play the charismatic professor, Alvaro Morte, Lee Kim Ji Hoon is
Denver, Jang Yoon Ju is Nairobi, Lee Hyun Woo is Rio, Won Hung is Moscow, Kim Ji
Hun is Helsinki and Lee Kyu Ho is Oslo. Squid Game star, Park Hae Soo plays the
anti-hero here as well. And finally, Jeon Jong Seo plays the fan-favorite Tokyo.
She’s a North Korean soldier.
