Same but different: Who’s who in Netflix's Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area?

You'd think watching one highly specialised and chaotic team of bank robbers would satiate people’s appetite for thrills.

But the Korean-language remake and spin-off of Netflix’s Money Heist, which starts streaming on Netflix on Friday , proves there’s something entrancing about seeing people take huge risks for huge rewards . Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area follows a team of robbers from both North and South Korea. In the series, their countries’ reunion gives way to a"ruthless new world of inequality” which is where they step in, inspired by the heists that happened in Spain.

While they’ll be led by a man who calls himself “The Professor”, don red jumpsuits and take on city-based pseudonyms for their heists, they’ve swapped the iconic Salvador Dali masks for traditional Hahoetal masks instead. Here’s a rundown on who’s who in the upcoming series. Honestly, we're surprised that some of the characters strongly resemble each other – what do you think?Yoo Ji-tae takes over Alvaro Morte as The Professor, the strategic mastermind behind the heist. In the Korean version of the series, it seems like he'll be managing the team remotely again. With his expertise in acting and directing, we can only assume he'll know just how to hold the reins on his team of robbers.
