A skilled band of masked crooks all gathered to pull one of the biggest hold-ups in history. Sounds a bit too familiar right? And that’s because it’s Money Heist’s, but this time, instead of trying to break into the Spanish crown’s national bank they’re going to be plotting in Korea.
Through an almost minute-and-a-half trailer, streaming giant Netflix unveiled “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area’’ – its latest exclusive series. It’s an adaptation of the global hit La Casa De Papel which has been one of the website’s consistently most-viewed shows since it launched back in Spring 2017. After five action-filled seasons, the acclaimed production is now about to see a Korean iteration.
