'Money Heist' has become a TV show that will live rent-free in many people's brains. We Cinephiles enjoyed it to a tee and it's not a surprise because those Spanish folks did their homework in each episode and season of the show.
When shows and Movies alike gain the type of reputation and international recognition that Money Heist has, you would always expect a remake of the show or a sort of sequel or prequel. The Spanish folks gave us the first Money Heist. The Koreans decided to give us a remake.
I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed 'La Casa de Papel', the Spanish Version of Money Heist. I wasn't ready for a remake when I started hearing whispers of its possibility. You know, we Cinephiles do not want a remake that will ruin the good memories we have of a well-made show.
Nonetheless, I'm also an age-old lover of Kdrama, so hearing that the remake would be made by Koreans gave me reasons to check it out. I was filled with a surge of anticipation as I looked forward to seeing the synopsis, the casts and so on. Lo and behold, the first part and second part of the series are finally released with each having 6 episodes.
Is it a good remake?
Is it as good as the Spanish Version?
These have been the question on many people's lips and I genuinely understand that something like this will surely come up. Even the production crew would have expected this sorta comparison between their remake and the original version.
As far as I can tell, I thoroughly enjoyed both of them, but the element of surprise that came with my inability to predict what would happen throughout the original version of the show gives it an edge over the remake.
The Korean remake adopted a lot of events and characterization from the Spanish version. This can be argued to be unavoidable, but that made some sequences in the show lack the thrill I felt while watching the Spanish Version.
This surely counts as a good remake, but I don't rate it as high as the Spanish version. They are not at par.
What about y'all?
How would you rate the Korean and the Spanish versions?

There’s a Korean version? Wow didn’t know that.😂
Would have been able to give my opinion if I watched the Korean remake. I’ll just stick with your decision about the Korean remake lacking some thrill. 😗
Hahah... There is a Korean remake oooo. The first 6 episode of the remake came out in June, last year. I was filled with a surge of anticipation but it ended up feeling like I was rewatching the Spanish version. Also, I don't like watching the same movie or TV show more than once.
The last 6 episodes of the Korean version came out in December, last year, but I didn't watch it until this week. Haha
Why did they even have to produce a Korean remake. They want to ruin the original movie for us.😂
Hahah... I've always been a Kdrama fan. That's the only reason I considered checking it out.
If this was remade by any other country, I would have completely ignored it. Hehe
Oh okay. I’m not a big fan of kdrama but when the recommendation is from someone I know enjoys movies, I try to watch.
😂 I see.

I have to agree with u.
Even Korean version adopted our own situation, but not as surprising as the Spanish version. Maybe, coz, we know what would happen…maybe not.
Anyway i can say good try~ :)
Maybe part 2 is better than part 1 thou. Im still watching it
Oh. I'm glad I'm getting this from a Spanish. Haha.
That show have been the one and only Spanish Tvshow I've ever watched, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The producers and actors did an amazing job
