yepeosulbi May 30 2024 12:31 am the professor is so smart his plans and strategies

Yana Dec 16 2022 10:15 pm Epicly boring! This whole Robin hood story is played!

Myla Dec 11 2022 6:25 am Excellent, a must watch!!!! Love the character of Denver and Tokyo! 10/10

Kuala Lumpur Nov 16 2022 12:43 pm just find it amusing and wanna point out that both Denver and Helsinki has the same name

and since i'm here, as the biggest fan of the original series, i actually like this version of Tokyo and Berlin because they are so freaking intimidating. and of course Denver x Stockholm because they are sooooo good-looking

bad thing is that Professor, Nairobi and Lisbon don't have a strong character as compared to the original. last but not least, i don't think anyone will be able to outdo my boy Arturo's performance in terms of being the most hated character LOL

Tokyo Oct 04 2022 3:53 pm I'm not really a fan of the original because I feel it dragged on for wayyyy too long ,, the Korean version is just enough episodes and jist enough acting. I love this one version

Tiffany Sep 22 2022 4:59 am People rate this low, but I found this better than the original (something is not common to me as well...) I sometimes fell asleep watching the Spanish version because it dragged a bit way too long.

Also, the Korean one used more of an Asian way of mindset in the plot, punishing others when you do something wrong lol. Tokyo in the Korean version is more likely to look like a storyteller, who is supposed to be the main character or at least someone who doesn't do crazy things. She is also kind.

And I like how they changed the details, so it is not too predictable. Maybe I'm being biased, but 6 episodes are just enough lol

Yasgirl Jul 10 2022 4:46 pm Gave it a go but wasn’t really feeling it,the actors tried and all but the original is so much better bait all in all you guys did a great job recreating it though.

Molly Dash Jul 09 2022 2:08 am Great cinematography ! Really thrilling !

Can stop to watch for the next eps.

Very well done remaking

Jerry Jul 04 2022 4:54 pm Terrible... Just Terrible... Waited for this drama and what a disappointment. The stupidity of the robbers and the hostages doing what they want to do with nothing happening. You really expect much better for a Korean drama, but, not in this case. They would of kept me watching if a bullet was put into the head of the Director. But, at last, this is a Korean Drama.

Byeol 별 Jun 30 2022 7:47 pm maybe it's not my kind of drama, but sometimes i just don't get motivation to continue to the next episode. honestly so far it's good though, but i mainly just watched for the cast.

Nah Jun 30 2022 7:23 pm This is really only meant for people who have not watched, and no intention to watch the Spanish original which was very good on many levels. And why would you? They have stripped off the strengths of the original and only put in bad acting, all the way from main leads to the walk-through extras. Not keen on the ‘summarized’ plot and so-so directing. Skip this and go original. It’s not on the same level.

whynot Jun 29 2022 5:56 am it is good, the cast is stellar, but the original is much better.

Jus Jun 29 2022 1:35 am Koreans usually nailed it when it comes to making a remake but not on this one. Its really boring to watch.

Marathon24 Jun 28 2022 9:14 pm I haven't watched the original Spanish version, but I love this Korean version. The actors/actresses played very well. I love the robbers, especially Berlin, Tokyo, and Denver. And yes, the actor that played the Mint Director also played his role very well because he has successfully become the most annoying character throughout the series, haha. He really needs a punch on his face. Can't wait for the next 6 episodes.

madeinsiy Jun 28 2022 8:30 am I wasn't really a fan of the original anyway and the reason I've watched this one was because of the cast. Truth is, I would've prefer if they just took the main points (a huge heist that doesn't really effect the public, thieves nicknamed cities around the world gathered by a mastermind, arguing detectives from different povs) and went different routes. In fact, I loved the all joint economic area plot and I wished they went on and kept creating new points after that too. But yeah, drama as a whole is kinda boring as audience we already know all the twists and turns, possible upcoming deaths etc.

Captain Cha Jun 28 2022 2:17 am Sorry but I'm having a hard time taking Captain Cha seriously. For me, he will always be our coach-nim. Hahahaha such a great series. My Denver-Misun ship is sailing. Waiting for S2.

Efron Jun 27 2022 11:32 pm I watch it without watching the original and it's good as it is. The guys that write bad comment because they comparing with original one which i tried give it a shot and still can't understand what so good about that original.

Andrea Jun 27 2022 1:47 pm Love it. I don’t care if it's a remake i love it. You all talking about it being bad but still watched it?

M. Press Jun 27 2022 10:06 am OK, I won't lie I almost tanked the series at the 1st episode. There was no tension or excitement. But because some of the cast are my fave actors I gave it another go. I'm at ep. 5 and I would say it's a strong effort. The Professor and the cop lady are a bit disappointing in terms of zero chemistry or swag like the originals. To save the drama are intriguing characters like Park Hae soo, Kim Ji hoon and that director guy who I feel like smacking each time haha.

yaya Jun 27 2022 1:12 am i actually enjoyed the drama so im rlly confused with the comments. yall said that this drama is boring and copied the original but when korean dramas produced drama that is not similar to the original, yall will said “oh im disappointed that the drama does not the same with the original” like cmon pick a side

maic Jun 26 2022 2:54 pm well. I wonder, will this part be the same? what will they change? "ah this is the same" because Korean versions always make you more tense, like Suits, less than evil (luther), Designated Survivor: 60 Days. Anyway, I'm enjoying it, even though it's all very fast, and I stayed from the 1st to the 6th episode waiting for Seoul (Im ji yeon)

Elise Jun 26 2022 10:01 am Budget version of the original Money Heist. Some casting choices were questinable especially Rio and The Professor. Rio looked like a teen gamer trying to break bad. Overall it's inferior to the original, very rushed as well.

kity Jun 26 2022 7:12 am Fun fact: Kim Jin Hoon (Denver) 6 months older than Park Hae soo (Berlin). He is just so cute like 28-30 years old

Galaxy S7 Edge Jun 26 2022 1:19 am I think the Korean version is better because the original version made me so sleepy hahahahahahaha

Dutchess Jun 25 2022 10:51 pm Spanish version is better, more intense. But im a biased so i still choose korean version than the original one. Haha

Val Jun 25 2022 9:48 pm Three words to describe this first half: what a mess! I have so many things to say but at the same time it was so bad that I can’t even bother to do so. This was actually laughable, what a shame.

Rasha Mohamed Jun 25 2022 3:18 pm Perhaps if i didnt watch the Spanish series i would have loved this. I gotta say it is a little boring for me. I think actors are trying their best and i know they are all good but the pace is slow. I still love park hae soo ?

Professor Jun 25 2022 11:20 am I wish the story was different, they even tried so hard to copy Denver's laugh but failed.

Bumblebee Jun 25 2022 10:34 am The original version is better. Just started watching it. But I will watch both. And compare. :]

NOT WORTH IT Jun 25 2022 9:20 am If you are a fan of the original Money Heist, don’t bother watching the Korean version. Characters are great, but the whole thing was eh. Missed a lot of good scenes that the original version had. You know what’s going to happen anyway

Not Worth Watching Jun 25 2022 8:52 am Not Worth Watching!! Don't waste your time watching this copied sh*t. I was really waiting for it but when it premiered ...Damn SH&T. Bullshi*t.

REALISTIC Jun 25 2022 3:10 am Every bad thing will never happened if they decide to tie that as*hole manager like what they did to berlin. I don't get it why is that as*hole kept blabbering here and there like nothing happened.

littlepinky Jun 25 2022 1:50 am worth it to be binge watch this all star cast that i missed in each character's previous drama/movie. im not choosy to comment its not worth watching.

Denver and Misun Supremacy Jun 24 2022 8:23 pm Omg I loved it, I wish it had more hype though. The fact is, Y’all can’t like it because you keep comparing the 2. Quit comparing. I honestly think it was amazing and I loved the slow burn. Well done to the cast and everyone else.

oung Jun 24 2022 6:36 pm I was disappointed because it wasn't as good as the trailer showed and too many scenes were cut so the story wasn't fully immersive. except for berlin, the characters are very impressive here just like the original

Lizzy Jun 24 2022 5:37 pm was literally sooo excited to watch this, but sadly, dropped it after the 2nd episode because it was slow & boring ...

Emma Jun 05 2022 9:32 am It would have been nicer if some of the characters had names of Korean Cities instead as a bit of a twist

Hyunwoo is backkkk May 27 2022 3:36 am I'm just so thrilled for I get to see HyunWoo in a drama again after how many years since the liar and his lover ;-; Can't wait for you hyunwoo. I will definitely watch this!! The cast is superb.

Ratu May 22 2022 10:41 pm But, why june? Oh! It's so long time. I can't waiting

Rose May 21 2022 1:44 am This will be thrilling, I'm waiting?

iamestee May 05 2022 12:43 am I can't wait for June because of this! I've been waiting for this kdrama adaptation since last year woohoo!!! :)

Gold Jan 26 2022 9:21 am All the actors are great. I hope it goes well

Wang Jan 25 2022 6:47 pm I hope this remake will be a good one... I've seen many works of most of the cast... And they're one of the best actors out there... If the production team did a good job, nothing can go wrong with these cast

Cray no cray Jan 22 2022 10:24 am Prof here also adjusts glasses like actusl professor i found that funny as lot of ppl would make fun of professor from actual series often adjusting glasses

Joenilyn Jan 18 2022 11:41 pm Yey! Im so excited for lee hyun woo.... I miss you so much oppa love???? Fighting!???

Kisselleen Paulino Jan 17 2022 7:23 pm The trailer is out!!! So excited for this!!!

Arihant Oct 30 2021 11:03 pm Waiting for this..Hope Koreans set right the drama..

hihihello Oct 27 2021 8:42 am Is this going to air in 2021?

Camille Amor Oct 09 2021 11:43 pm They should cast Jung Ho Yeon

Luísa Sep 26 2021 3:34 pm Good to know that Hyun Woo is alive! But i don't think this can top La casa de papel, the spanish created a masterpiece.

Tobey Sep 23 2021 2:08 am Should've casted Lee Bo Young as Sun Woo Jin

Tomisin Mercy Afolabi Jun 21 2021 10:33 am Lee hyun woo is finally back.... missed him so much

whynot Jun 06 2021 11:28 am good cast. hope they would not spoil it cause the original version was extremely well done.

ttan Jun 05 2021 1:08 am finally Lee Hyun Woo is backkk!!! omg i'm so happy, I miss him sooo muchh❤❤

1234 May 26 2021 9:02 pm If I was the director my line up would be:

Professor: yoo ji tae Lisbon: song yoon ah Tokyo: ryu hwa young Berlin: lee jung jin Denver: lee kyu hyung Moscow: ma dong seok Nairobi: oh yoon ah / lee ji ah Rio: yeo jin goo / gong myung Stockholm: park gyu young

Dreamchaser Apr 13 2021 1:36 pm Yoo Ji Tae is the great fit for the Professor role. Jun Jung Seo will make this good as Tokyo. ❤❤❤

Teatree Apr 08 2021 6:36 am Yoo Ji-Tae is the perfect role for professor. And I happily find Kim Ji-Hoon as Denver who I hope that keeping his long hair. The long hair suits him a lot. I also can't imagine Park Hae Soo as Berlin. I hope this remake won't disappoint us because La Casa de Papel is just a huge monument.

blue Apr 01 2021 8:37 pm Should hv gotten song yoon a as the lead rold, anyone agrees?

May Days Mar 31 2021 6:55 am FINALLY!!! SUCH A GOOD LINE-UP

Evelyn Mar 31 2021 12:21 am Looking forward to this! Screenwriter Ryoo Yong-jae does fantastic with thriller shows, especially adaptations!

Gregg Mar 30 2021 9:28 pm jun jong seo cant wait to see her acting

Gregg Mar 30 2021 9:27 pm so excited for jun jong seo
