    Article: 'Money Heist' was thought to save Netflix... but fails to localize to Korean audience

    1. [+1,219, -23] Aside from Berlin, their acting is just... Jang Yoon Joo is such a miscast for Nairobi


    2. [+655, -23] What's with all of their acting.. I can't bear to watch this


    3. [+437, -14] The set is so shabby... and the CG is too obvious. Why are the lines so cringey too? ㅜ And their acting feels like they're all in a theater performance ㅜ I never saw the original so I was able to feel the tension towards the end but what was the point of the remake at all if this is how they were going to do it???


    4. [+342, -18] If it's being set in South Korea, they needed to have changed it up a bit but they really just copied the exact plot over


    5. [+141, -19] Yoo Ji Tae... so overrated 😣


    6. [+96, -1] The narration in the beginning already turned me off. Even just reading out of a book would sound more natural than that.


    7. [+95, -0] First of all, the acting is just bad. The sets are poorly designed, straight out of some outdated drama... Whatever the case, the acting's bad and the cast doesn't seem to come together in any cohesive way...


    8. [+95, -1] Would've been much better to have Kim Sung Oh as Berlin and Park Hae Soo as the professor


    9. [+90, -2] Jang Yoon Joo's terrible acting...


    10. [+80, -13] Maybe because I never saw the original but I thought it was fun ㅎㅎㅎㅎ


    11. [+65, -2] I suggest people just re-watch the original instead


    12. [+49, -0] I don't think this is a flop because it's too similar to the original, I think it's a flop because of the terrible acting, all of the miscastings, and the mess of direction.


    13. [+45, -2] Awkward acting, almost as if they didn't understand their own characters. None of them seemed to understand who they were supposed to be playing. Huge disappointment.


    14. [+36, -3] I enjoyed the original so much that I had high hopes for this remake but the plot was basically a copy and paste, and I couldn't even get halfway through the first episode. If only they had switched up the plot a little bit...


    15. [+28, -0] I never saw the original so I enjoyed it... but Jang Yoon Joo's acting is unbearable. Her acting's so terrible.

  • When i saw park hae soo in squid game and knowing there're gonna be a korean money heist, my first thought was casting park hae soo as the professor but i think he still did a good job playing a different role :miyeon-nod:

    Also just realised yoo ji tae played the psychotic character in old boy too haha:miyeon-shook:

    I agree, Hae soo is a versatile actor. He can do any roles given to him but Ji tae as Prof didn't do anything for me.. and Nairobi as well... :pepe-narrow-eyes:
