Smart ideas and a repetitive story
The first point of similarity between the two works is the plot, as the story revolves around a group of skilled thieves, who gather together under the "Professor" banner in order to rob the mint.
As for the main difference, it comes in favor of the Korean experience, which took place in the future, as it exploited political and economic affairs and the division between North and South Korea to serve the story.
Before the inter-Korean Joint Security Area was transformed into a joint economic zone with the goal of reunification with the promise of job opportunities for immigrants, a more affluent life and economic prosperity.
However, we soon witness the collapse of those dreams at the hands of greedy lenders and the greed of senior statesmen, and then the gap between the rich and the poor widens more and more.
motive privacy
These inspiring details change the motives of some heroes and increase the plot richness and tension, so we find the "Professor" who has become a university professor because of his disappointment in achieving economic justice.
As for "Berlin", he witnessed the death of his mother as a child while trying to get a chance to live, before spending 25 years of his life imprisoned in an inhumane prison in North Korea.
While Tokyo, an ambitious young woman, pursues the glimmer of false dreams, her flesh and innocence are quickly eaten by ruthless capitalism and deceived by evildoers.
Will the work makers take advantage of these details in the upcoming seasons, and build new events on them, or do they waste their resources and potential?
Especially since the rest of the plot - so far - is completely similar to the original story, which sooner or later will make the audience feel bored.
no joke, Korea did so well in their version of money heist !!!
👏💯 I was amaze the whole time, the scenes, the portrayals, the cinematography and all.

Has the absence of chemistry disturbed the spirit of work?
Park Hye-soo, star of "The Squid Game", Yoongin Kim, one of the heroines of the famous "Lost" series, and Jeon Jong Seo, the heroine of the Korean thriller "Burning", are some of the cast of the new Korean series, which suggests the weight of talent that will appear. On screen, in addition to the success of the work in attracting a wide and diverse audience, depending on the popularity of its heroes.
Despite the able performance of some, especially Park Hye Soo, who plays the character "Berlin", the work lacks chemistry between the actors, especially the duets that are supposed to have romantic relationships, which weakened the heat of the drama and the honesty of the performance, and most importantly, it frustrated the audience, Could that change with the succession of episodes and the release of the second part of the first season?
