For the second week in a row, 'Money Heist: Korea' has been the #1 non-English TV series on Netflix worldwide.
If you’ve checked the show out by now — or if you watched the Spanish-language original — you already know the plot. The short version, for those unaware: Money Heist: Korea tells the story of an imagined future Korean reunification, one which also calls for a new unified currency. As a kind of testbed city, to showcase both countries what’s possible, a “Joint Economy Area” has been set up between them.
That’s also where X marks the spot for the show’s band of hackers — led, as in the original, by a brilliant “Professor” — who don’t plan to “steal” money from anyone as opposed to simply printing their loot.A heist without limits in a country without borders.“Only the rich got richer” The dynamic that the show sets up is imaginary, but there’s also a social commentary embedded inside the larger narrative. It includes North Koreans doing menial jobs in the unified country, for example, and the already-well-off only continuing to get more so post-reunification. This was all supposed to usher in a bright new dawn for the peninsula, the character of “Tokyo” explains at one point. Instead? “Only the rich got richer.”A production still from Netflix’s “Money Heist: Korea.
. From the stylish red jumpsuits and white face masks, to the usage of cities in place of character names — and the aforementioned professor in his high-tech lair, pulling all the strings.
