Tells the story of North Korea and South Korea uniting their economies by creating a Joint Economic Zone on the Korean Peninsula in 2025, a big idea that might happen in the future. In addition, there was also a surprising appearance from one of South Korea's leading boy groups, appearing as one of the many important aspects of Korean unity in Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area.


The tension has been presented by Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area at the beginning of the episode, you can enjoy the pounding feeling with the start of the action of the 8 super robbers at the Korean Unification Money Printing building. Internal conflicts due to the different views of the 8 criminals are also inevitable, adding to the feeling of excitement in enjoying this series.

However, some characters are seen to be totally underrepresented, such as Anne Kim (played by Lee Si Woo), making her importance in the series both existent and non-existent.


In addition to the pounding feeling, your annoyance is certain to culminate with the actions of Cho Young Min (played by Park Myung Hoon), the director of the Korean Unification Mining Office, who takes advantage of various loopholes to save himself from the robbers. If you think about it, who wants to be a prisoner of robbers? But since this is a heist series, we certainly support the robbers, right? ha ha.

Some of the characters in Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area have a main mission similar to the original series, but repackaged in the style of South Korean filmmakers. Rather than looking like a nerd, the professor looks charismatic with high intelligence.


Meanwhile, Berlin, which was manipulative, was presented by Park Hae Soo with an appearance that made goosebumps, presenting a thick vibe of criminals from North Korea.

The computer graphics technology that is presented is sufficient but not satisfying, some parts, such as the train that goes from North to South Korea or the background of the trees in the park in some scenes in the series Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area looks… CGI.


Overall, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area becomes a tense heist action series and makes you amazed by how quickly the professor and his henchmen deal with various 'surprise plans' from the police and hostages. However, it will be a comparison event if you have watched Money Heist La Casa de Papel before.
