The tremendously popular Netflix series Money Heist or La Casa de Papel was remade in South Korea as the heist action thriller series 'Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area'. A unified Korean Peninsula serves as the backdrop for the remake.
North and South Korea have finally decided to put aside their differences after years of conflict and instability. They rename the former Joint Security Area the Joint Economic Area, which develops into a significant financial center on the peninsula. The United Korea Mint is established there by the two governments, who use the facility to print the new currency that is usable in both nations.
The unification was expected to bring forth general prosperity, but the wealthy just became richer. As a result, a mystery guy who goes by the name of the Professor gathers a group of talented people and robs the Mint.
