Posted on December 5, 2022

GREEN SMURF AND GREEN SMURF

The remake problem is always interesting. how adjust without saying the same thing ? How does public knowledge change the heart? By tackling the proofreading of Money Heistconsecutively Money Grab: Korea – Joint Economic Area there are many angles of attack. Change the political context, the group of robbers, the architecture of the area or even the surprise of the robbery.

Very quickly, we see that the main limitation Money Grabbing: Korea that is exactly his (too) great loyalty to the Spanish series. Prisoner of his model, this Korean version shows us the same characters, with the same code names and the same story arcs. The creators of the series and the director Kim Hong-sun seem to have driven this desire for fidelity in the casting because the physical resemblance to the original characters is obvious.

There are no major changes to report in terms of decor. If from the outside the bank seems very different, we easily fall into the same empty hall and the same interchangeable vaults. It is difficult in such a context to adapt the visual identity in a series with identified codes.

Usually, Money Grabbing: Korea He seems to be ashamed of his model. Even as the story progresses, we stay on familiar ground. The twists follow each other in the same rhythm, not feeling very new. Syndrome of this shame, the series seems to have no idea how to use the famous masks robbers. We’re shown them every other episode to remind us they exist, but they’re never really iconized like Money Heist.

or Money Heist there are many flaws, the effectiveness of the series depends largely his cliffhanger art. Each episode ends with a twist that makes us want to keep going without a break. We absolutely cannot find this writing addictive Money Grabbing: Korea. And yet, the rhythm is better.

With episodes that last almost an hour, the series does not chase a quick and gratuitous shock effect. We take the time to develop situations that have real moments of pause give more depth to the characters. Secondary characters take up less space, we remove many sharp narrative arcs. Forget, for example, the long sequences dedicated to the romance between Tokyo and Rio. In this version, everyone is sent some complicated looks without having to explain their relationship.

Another point that makes all the difference, the cast is really crazy. Getting the talented Jun Jong-seo to play in Tokyo is a great idea. Brilliant at burning or The callthe actress shines again in a disarming magnetic charm. Another good choice, Yoo Ji-Tae as the Professor. Won’t forget Woo-jin old man, he reminds us how his talent is matched only by his ability to not age. Without forgetting Park Hae-soo in Berlin, who reminds us of all the treachery that introduced him to Squid game.

With these talents on screen, needless to say,we attach to the team more easily. Especially since small changes in the writing are enough to make these thieves more coherent. Conflicts within the group are less forced, the characters do not change behavior from one stage to another for the simple needs of the scenario. And the flashbacks bring a new depth to the writing.

The first train to Busan

But when there is a big change that makes everyone interested in it Money Grabbing: Koreais its political meaning. Money Heist to the anti-capitalist series what the white rasta is to the cultural revolution. The current cult cover of a partisan song and three lines of balanced dialogue at the end of season 2 are not enough to make a story as stupid bling-bling as it is consumerist.

On the opposite extreme, Money Grabbing: Korea reminds us of the talent of the Korean manufacturing industry works that are both fun, popular and yet radically done. One can think of the generality of Bong Joon-ho’s cinema, in the killing game of yesteryear Squid game and many other works. Unsurprisingly, this new series is part of the logical filiation of its predecessors.

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area: pictureAlone against the world

From the beginning of the first episode, we explained that the series will take place in the near future. A time jump of three years allows for an imaginary geopolitical situation: the two Koreas were reunited. The popular “Joint Security Area” has now become the “Joint Economic Area”. This original bias creates an exciting playground to comment on the conflicts between these two divided countries.

Mainly because the message given does not hide its non-negativity. on Money Grabbing: Koreathe long-awaited end of the Korean conflict proves only one thing: unrestrained capitalism will eventually turn any dream into a nightmare.

The series capitalizes on this in a way attack with violence the fate reserved for women in Korean society. We understand with uncompromising brutality the unrestrained misogyny of the bank manager, the suspicion of the investigators towards their partner of the opposite sex. It is actually through his political virulence that Money Grabbing: Korea just aim. Hopefully the next season will allow him to completely abandon his model while continuing to explore his strengths.

Money Heist: Korea – The Joint Economic Area is now available in full from June 24, 2022 on Netflix
