Ryu Yong-jae, the writer of The Money Heist’s Korean adaptation, is a big fan of the original Spanish series. “I was intrigued by the premise of the remake because it not only is about the conflict between robbers and police, but it also adds new layers such as tension, mistrust, and harmony between North and South Korea,” he said.

“It is a situation where thieves from North and South Korea join forces, and police from North and South join hands to stop their way, [adding] a Korean lens to the original IP,” Ryu Yong-jae added.
