If you have already watched its trailer, you might notice that the masks are traditional Korean masks commonly seen in dance performances in Korean Dramas. These masks are the Hahoetal masks of Korea. These masks are usually worn by the performers featured in byeolsingut held in Hahoe village. In the series, they will be using Hahoetal masks with big smiles.

The storyline

The latest trailer reveals its story plot. The Money Heist Korea happens when North Korea and South Korea are unified. The Korean peninsula creates a new currency with the expectation of improvement of life within the peninsula. However, it seems to be that only the rich people become richer while the poor continue to suffer.

For that reason, a brilliant strategist who will be called the Professor gets inspired by the heist that happened in Spain. Thus, he decides to create his own team of robbers, and they plan a heist to steal the new currency. In the trailer, they are planning to steal four trillion Won or almost 167 billion Philippine Peso.
