According to Soompi, a source from BH Entertainment, which was said to have been in talks with Netflix together with ZIUM Content for the possible adaptation, confirmed to Sports Kyunghyang: “It’s true that we’ve taken steps toward a remake of ‘Money Heist’ with the production company ZIUM Content and the OTT [over-the-top] streaming service Netflix. However, we’ve only shared the relevant content so far and nothing has been decided in concrete yet.”

BH Entertainment is home to many of Korea’s top actors including Lee Byung Hun, Yoo Ji Tae, Go Soo, Han Hyo Joo, Han Ji Min, Ko Go Eun, and so many more. If the adaptation does push through, we can only imagine who among our favorite oppas will be brought on board!

Money Heist (aka La Casa De Papel) follows a group of people who organize a grand heist on the Royal Mint of Spain led by a man called The Professor. It first premiered in 2017 and currently has four seasons, all of which can be watched on Netflix.
