Moving my Money
When I first heard of Cashero, I had questions like does it work on all paper money or just the Korean Won, how about the exchange rate?Using spaghetti western music was a choice and an interesting once.
Honestly it was not that bad I think 8 episodes were way to short and potentially hampered there ability to tell the story i would say if it was a 12-14 episodes it would have been good. As far as superpowers in a Korean Drama we have better options in Moving.
Outside of the comparisons to other super powered Korean Dramas this one is fine at a 7.5

So he discovered he didn’t need money for his strength but true love or care or idk was he’s true source of strength but he literally continued to need money to fight. And Ho-in’s liver cancer issue, I’m not sure if I missed something but they never continued that story, no resolution, nobody found out or anything and he continued to drink? What’s the history between Jo Na Dan and his assistant? I’m curious. The police officer knew about so many things and the going to the past situation? maybe I missed something but what exactly is his connection?so many things left unresolved and unfinished because the ending seemed rushed. This had a lot potential that was wasted,Was this review helpful to you?
Somthing new and interesting
At the end of the day if you are not bored it's a A+ series. I don't have time to write all that einstein level reviews, going into the detailing like we are not reviewing a series but instead solving a cia level international case.There is a low paced episode in middle but i finsihed this series in 2 go, and was not bored, just one time In 4th or 5th ep. So reducing 1 star for that.

Best supernatural drama so far.
This drama has its own way. I just felt it end bit quickly. Atleast I think they should make it 12 episodes. But overall this drama isn't bad as people criticised. I'm old kdrama fan even if I'm new to mdl. I watched many dramas but nowadays I feel all are same as previous kdramas. Also I feel boring after watched 1 or 2 episodes from nowadays dramas. But amazingly cashero has a bit different plot. It enough me to complete this drama. sometimes it gets funny, exciting, angry and heart wrenching.Also the osts are good to enjoy. When it comes to cast I like them so far. Lee jun ho, kim hye jun, jo bo ah, lee chae min and kang han na etc. In this drama Actors did their job as well.
Drama always talking about money. Why? Because ML is cash + hero. In real life people are also struggling to earn money. I can understand why they have many conversations about money.
The concept is bold, painful, and brilliant. Powers have consequences, kindness has a cost, Imagine if this happend in real life. Would you like to help others when it costs your hard earned money??
I liked this drama very much beacuse of the difference story. Usually we get to used to see powerful Ml, addicted romance but I think this made to feel us a different way than other dramas. For me it was unforgettable experience.
For who are thinking watching this or not. You should start watch atleast one episode. Sometimes you can find it is good than others opinion.
For me this is a must watch drama in 2025.💕💗💖

More like a curse not a superhero.
This is that one drama i would have prefered to stumble upon it without watching its trailer because i feel it fell short of my anticipation.It lacked a kick to its ending and that might be a script problem.The cast did an amazing job in bringing their characters to life.You liked the hero and hated the villains.Although i felt the main character did not have chemistry with the wife, considering we just watched him in Typhoon Family with Minha and they had insane chemistry....here there was none considering the narrative he was crazy about her.While writing this review I understand why some humans with powers sold theirs.From the ones we know,these had to be the worst kind of powers bestowed upon anyone,main character's power was driving him to brokenness,and if he opted not to use them he developed a skin disease.Another had to be an alcoholic to use his powers...the telekinesis chic just had to up her calories to use her powers.Honestly if Mundane group was not crude in their methods of hunting the humans with powers i believe many would have willingly sold their powers at a good price....the only problem was Mundane replicating the powers and selling them.Was this review helpful to you?

Lee Jun-ho and the supes are great... but...
I kept watching Cashero waiting for it to tell me what it was actually about. By episode 8, I was still waiting. There’s no clear goal, no real direction, and the plot mostly consists of things happening and then being quietly brushed aside. The power rules are especially baffling: Cashero needs cash and clearly pays a price, while Nathan appears to have unlimited abilities powered by… vibes? determination? sheer narrative convenience? Nathan’s motivation is never convincingly explained, and he often feels more competent and powerful than the supposed protagonist, which makes the central conflict hard to take seriously. Overall, it’s a show with an interesting idea that never commits to its own rules or point, leaving it oddly flat despite all the effort.Was this review helpful to you?
Fun to watch!
This was really fun to watch and I enjoyed it because I like superhero series/movies.What made it fun and a little was how each superhero recharge their power and especially Byeon Ho In who had to drink alcohol.
Kang Sang Ung power was to use money and that was stressing me out LOL!!!
The scene where Kang Sang Ung and Kim Min Suk used money to test out his skills in bed was hilarious LOL
Overall I think it was fun and a good watch and like the ending....

Action with smiles and funnies
So I might be biased, bc I am a very big fan of Junho as a Hottest, but Cashero was honestly such a fun and surprisingly emotional ride. Junho stepping into a vigilante-superhero role just works for me — he brings so much sincerity to the character, especially in how the drama shows that being a good person actually costs him everything, literally draining him of money every time he tries to do the right thing. That idea alone makes the whole show feel fresh and meaningful instead of just another action drama where superheroes fight against villainsThe series is packed with high-energy action, but it never forgets to be charming. (slides 50k won extra over lol) There are plenty of moments that make you laugh or smile, so so many that It actually hurt my cheeks after I finished it (I binged it), which gives the story this really nice balance between intensity and warmth. It never feels too heavy, even when things get dark. Last real big fight made me have so many feelings as well.
The villains were another highlight if I had to say so. The way the show kinda builds them up makes you think, maybe they could be good, looks at Jo Anne, only to pull the rug out from under you — that tension kept me hooked I tell you. You’re constantly questioning people’s motives. Or at least I was. LOL
But yes it's definitely worth watching if you're either a Junho fan, a fan of action, a fan of superpowers or just want to watch something else. tI felt like there was a bit for everyones tastes.

Soo much potential but a total car wreck...
Man, where do I begin...A man who inherits a family tradition, that grants him superhero abilities by carrying money. I thought the premise of the story was really interesting and could've made this superhero genre that's already losing popularity and is at its tail end actual life. However, that's not the case. The story had very high ambitions but the writers and director did a poor job executing it. It felt like it was trying to fit in every superhero subplot you could think of but failed to follow through and at the end didn't know what it wanted to be. Also the villains seem one dimensional and there's no backstory on why they're evil, they're just evil. The protagonist and supporting cast seem stale and there's no depth to them. There's also so many questions I have then answers. If he saved the bus and everyone saw his face on footage, how come no one recognizes him at work, his mom or in general?! How is there no paparazzi or media following him around??? Why is it that in some cases when he does use physical activity that he doesn't lose money but in other cases he does? How is it the Mundane Vanguard is four steps ahead but at the same time the most incompetent company to shut down the Super Human Korean Society??? There were soo many moments Kang and his allies could've lost their life but plot armor saved him. This whole show fell apart story wise and felt like an ambitious car wreck. Like I said if the story had been properly written, directed, paced out and had actual high stakes with Kang and his powers, the series could've been another major hit for Netflix like "Squid Game" but sadly not. If you want a really good Korean superhero show, avoid this one and go watch "Moving". It actually has depth and is greatly executed.

Superhero Ride with Cash Powers
Very good concept ruined by poor execution. It had good actors , nice plot , good visuals but apart from that nothing much to offer. Everything seems scattered all over the place. Pacing is very slow and disjointed script made it look poor. Superhero who requires cash to perform his duties as superhero and others who always rely on something to. This could have been a banger.Villains were not convincing either. Background music is a good thing to mention. Overall I will give it 7.5 .

Good idea - bad realisation
The good:-I liked the initial idea of this drama - as I think it was all meant like a metaphor for the current state of affairs - in South Korea, but not only, pretty much everywhere around the globe. So with loads of methaphors this drama tries to show in actionpacked pictures and storyline that simply EVERYthing is always about money. And that it seems you only have two choices: either trying to hold up in the rat race and become an ever more selfish, unscrupulous and at times even cruel ahoe to keep up the impossible pace, or cling on to being good and altruistic, but coming with it is a constant lack of money.
I liked this metaphor as it simply describes the dilemma of our current ever more fast-paced times. The whole sci-fi- story here is just wrapped around this message and the ambivalent thought coming with it. That's current affairs and it's a fresh idea.
-acting was partly good (Lee Jun-ho, Lee Chae-min (I didn't like his performance in 'Bon Appetit...', I did like his acting here though), Kim Hye-joon (didn't know her before, liked her acting here), and also bad (Kang Han-na - nope, I know her from other roles where I thought she was rather good, but not this time, everything was over the top and flat for her 'evil' character here, including her bad makeup, hairdo and outfits she couldn't even walk in properly most of the time)
The bad:
- the pacing of the storyline and storytelling was all over the place after episode 2. It was just way too much action, explosions, shootings and no coherrent story to really follow. Also the characters suffered from this, as most of them remained pale and flat, while some had good potential from the first two episodes intro.
-I didn't like the end of this. So at least for me. following the above mentioned metaphor idea, and given that Kang Sang-ung's character even tells the villain, money isn't everything, being special isn't that great, being average (and happy) is - he and his girlfriend simply do get the impossible, unreachable very huge luxurious apartement in the end and give off the message that is so toxic in South Korea and especially Seoul these days - you are only a success and you can only be happy (and only then think about having kids) if you own (as in being able to actually buy) a house or apartment. That's directly contradictory to what he tells the villain before. As the whole show is fantastic anyways I would have prefered an ending with a message matching his own message from before - these two understanding that they have to get out of this crazy hamster wheel and do something completely different - I don't know, move to the countryside and open a bakery? But this way it just feeds the toxic current real narrative - you are nothing without your own house, you are everything with it - and there is nothing in between.
Result:
-watchable once, nice initial idea, but the writers and director didn't follow through with it and lost pace, focus and message

I wanted to like this
I haven't read the webtoon this drama is based on so I had no idea what it would be about and was so annoyed when the source of the super powers was explained, of all the stupid super powers this has got to be the worst. In order to access his powers he has to have cash on him that literally disappears as he's using it leaving a few coins behind, when the money burns through he's powerless, What??!!!He's been in a relationship with this woman for 9 years and they barely seem like they're acquaintances, as other super powered humans appear instead of becoming more interesting it just became boring, it couldn't hold my attention, I just kept fidgeting the whole time and by the time the credits rolled on the 3rd episode I had no idea who was who and what had happened, it's just ao boring despite looking so good and having a great cast, as much as I wanted to like this I just don't.
