Personally I don't like to put much thought on the source material when rating a show, simply because the two can be stand alone works separate of each other. But I found a different perspective for this show, being because it wasn't adapted from another medium, but by another show. I personally was excited for this series, being a fan of both k-dramas and the original show. There's much to look forward to when expecting a new take on the series. But I was mildly disappointed to find there's not much new to this adaptation. This becomes a problem when its compared to the near perfect execution of the original show. Yes it takes place in Korea, but its all the same characters, in the same mint, doing the same thing, and its rushed to make meaningful moments not pay off like they should. A perfect example without spoiling is the Tokyo romance, its an interesting part of the original show and its completely absent in this version, and since its a copy and paste of the original those lost moments are not paid off in unique ways, they're just forgotten.

That being said if this is your first introduction to the Money Heist series, its not a horrible one. I could see it stand alone being a 7-7.5, but I could see people who know what its capable of to rate it as low as a 6, which is why I'll give it a 7 flat on this review page.

I hope this short review was helpful to you. Overall Id recommend the original series if you're interested and picking this one up if you become a fan of the original series and find yourself wanting more.
Have a great rest of your day and let me know if you have any interesting thoughts or opinions on the show
