After finishing this Korean version, my conclusion is:- - If you haven't watched the original, this can be alright. - But if you've watched the original, this Korean version if rubbish. The most important character of the whole series, The Professor, is very unconvincing. - it's a very bad timing for a remake, especially only after such a short period after the original is released. If you want to release a remake, you better add value to it, but it failed to achieve. - I feel that, with Netflix losing so much money lately, they're trying to do all they can to milk the cash cow of the Money Heist name. This version of Netflix actually got me so pissed off, I might actually want to terminate the membership. Not that this series made me want to do it, but I've been wanting to do it, as there hasn't been much good quality releases lately. I've just stopped by recurring billing, so I have another 1 week left before my account expires. For Korean dramas, VIU is a lot cheaper, and better, with more varieties of latest K and C Dramas.
I'm very disappointed with this Money Heist. I can understand, if you haven't watched the original, this can be alright. But the original Money Heist was just ... simply way too perfect, and makes this Korean version look really bad.
How I wish they did the grandfather's plot some justice. It ended prematurely. Last 4 episodes too draggy, could have tried to develop the grandpa a little more to give us a proper closure.
I don't understand why people complain about the ending. We all know that eventually they'll all return to their respective world. Everyone is unhappy because they want the King to be with JBH, not with the real KSY. But this is what happens, the same thing happened in Scarlet Heart Ryeo. We all know, whether you like it or not, they'll be back in their respective world. That's a sure thing.
But, I still give it a 10/10, for originality, especially Shin Hye Sun's performance in this. Easily my favorite K Drama actress right now, despite me not finding her attractive at all. She carried the entire drama by herself.
Cha Chung Hwa's Court Lady Choi -> My Goodness ... I can't get that MAA MAAA out of my head.
I feel empty right now, because this drama brought me so much laughters. I just kept laughing and laughing and laughing.
This drama is really a drama that would make its audiences feel really good.
Be Warned:FL's role is useless, her role is just to act as a love interest. The supporting dude, not even sure if there is one, is even more useless. Basically just to show the FL that she has someone else that actually likes her.Ending is stupid, plain stupid. Once you've seen the ending, you'll realize that you've watched a drama for so many countless hours, and there is no ending. It's plain stupid.Absolute rubbish.
Everything just keeps repeating and lots of repeated flashbacks making it even more frustrating to watch.

Last 4 = too draggy, and boring. Sigh
Not sure how accurate are the acupuncture scenes, but the plot itself, is top notch.
