Kong Eun Tae: The youngest team leader at his company, and winner of 1.8 billion won in the lottery. Very easygoing, almost too much, but begins to change after winning the lottery and starts to stand up to himself. Loves his family but is unable to tell them about his lottery winnings due to his brother-in-law who already wasted all their money on useless business ventures, causing his sister to start working at the supermarket while her husband chills at home.
Yang Jun Ho: Technically he's Eun Tae's senior, but works under him in the same team despite working at the company for longer. This causes some resentment in him which manifests as annoyance and poking fun at Eun Tae whenever he can. This begins to change when Eun Tae wins the lottery and starts to stand up for himself.
Seems like they'll be no overarching love triangle, which is kinda rare for a drama with a youth tag, like high school and uni dramas. Looking forward to it!
I actually preferred this season to season 2 despite it not having a main storyline. I just felt its cases were stronger overall whereas the main storyline in season 2 was a bit weaker than season 1 imo. Hope they do make a season 4 tho, and maybe we can get some romance. I know a lot of fans might not like it in this kinda show, but man the chemistry between Lee Je Hoon and Pyo Ye Jin is too much, at this point they're just showing off.
I remember reading like 20 chapters of the manhwa when it first came out. Basically a dude wins the lottery and still goes to work, but with the mindset that if anything ever happens he's got the lottery money to fall back on, and we get to see how that change in his mindset affects his work and how he looks at the people around him etc, its actually really interesting.
I don’t really agree that the stakes evaporate once his mum gives him the cash. If anything, that moment clarifies the point rather than undercutting it. The money doesn’t remove the cost, because Sang-ung burns through it almost immediately saving people. The show keeps reinforcing that the cash is just a trigger, not the source of what he’s doing.
That idea is spelled out pretty cleanly later on too. In episode 7, when his father points out that even after Sang-ung maxes out his abilities, he’ll probably keep fighting anyway, the emphasis shifts from the gimmick to the person. The story isn’t really asking “what happens when the money runs out?” so much as “what kind of man keeps choosing to spend himself anyway?” His heroism isn’t the power, it’s the decision to act despite knowing the cost.
I’ve been noticing some surprisingly low ratings for certain K-dramas on MDL, and it honestly leaves me scratching my head. I’m not critiquing anyone’s personal opinion, but seeing a show like Cashero getting 4's feels off. On MDL, anything below a 7 is usually seen as not worth watching at all, so a 4 carries a very specific kind of weight, like the show completely failed. Cashero really didn’t. Trying to balance themes like capitalism and society while still committing to comedy is tricky, and that kind of tonal juggling will naturally lose some viewers. Personally, I thought that for an eight-episode run, they did pretty well
I have yet to watch a drama that has time travel and that it actually has any sense. This one didn't make it either…
Here are some underrated time travel kdramas you should check out: Nine: Time Travel Nine Times, 365: Repeat The Year, Live Up To Your Name, My Perfect Stranger, Life On Mars and Tunnel
So for everyone that finished it, I have a question
I saw people mention that it has an open ending, and was wondering if you'd say the open ending is similar to the Red Swan one where it's hopeful or is it a darker open ending?
It's crazy how a novel I read in 2017 now has a manhwa, anime and now a kdrama! Not too sure how Byeon Woo Seok will work as Jin Woo in the beginning, since hes pretty short and skinny early on. Also looking forward to see how the CGI works, since the only thing remotely similar I've seen is the kdrama Memories of Alhambra
Im currently up to date on the manhwa its really good so lets see how they adapt it into a kdrama
I'm confused with the summary cause from what I remember reading, isn't Hwang Jun Hyeon already an intern who falls onto the chairman while the chairman body is in a coma? Do they actually end up switching bodies?
