It has been over a month since the explosive series finale of La Casa de Papel, and now Netflix has dropped the first teaser for the upcoming South Korean remake of the hit action-thriller series, confirming its official title as Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area. It is scheduled to make its debut sometime this year.
The video provides us with our first look at the main cast led by Yoo Ji-tae as he portrays the gang’s genius mastermind The Professor. It also teases the Korean remake’s signature mask as they might potentially stray away from using the original series’ iconic Salvador Dali mask.
