The Money Heist Korean adaption writer, Ryu Yong-jae is a big fan of the original Spanish series.

Ryu Yong-jae added, “[It is] a situation where thieves from North and South Korea join forces, and police from North and South join hands to stop their way, [adding] a Korean lens to the original IP.”
