La Casa de Papel on Netflix: A Korean trailer that transcends the series!

Welcome to the capitalist world! We know a little more about Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area, a remake of La Casa de Papel’s international success, thanks to the action-packed trailer that lays the groundwork.

If the series takes the main lines of the Spanish TV series story and its spectacular plunder, the remake will have a special place to take place in an alternate reality where North Korea and South Korea are now merging.

So the same currency was created for this new territory, but contrary to the hope of the Koreans, it will only benefit the rich. That is why the bouquet of the outcasts decides to carry out the greatest robbery in history, led by a brilliant mind, nicknamed Professor (Yo Ji-tae is seen in Old Boy).

On the casting side, Squid Game fans are quick to recognize the actor who is taking on the role of Berlin, as it is Park He-soo who plays Cho Sang-woo (player 218) in the success of Netflix. While Lost fans will be happy to find Kim Eunjin (the sun in the cult TV series) in the shoes of a crisis negotiation team leader during a robbery.

“I was interested in working on the remake because it not only deals with the conflict between the robbers and the police, but also adds new layers such as tension, mistrust and harmony between North and South Korea.

The situation where thieves from North and South Korea join forces while police from North and South join them to capture them adds to the Korean dimension of the original story.”, Explains the screenwriter Ryu Yong-jae, a big fan of the series with Ursula Corbero, about this new version.
