The Netflix platform has unveiled the very first teaser for "Cashero" a series as explosive as it is absurd, starring Lee Jun-ho in an unexpected role: that of an ordinary employee turned vigilante in spite of himself... thanks to his bank account.
Strength in proportion to money in your pocket
Kang Sang-ung doesn't save the world by clenching his fists, but... his wallet. An uneventful civil servant, he discovers that his physical strength increases with the amount of money he's carrying. The richer he is, the stronger he is. A miracle? Well, not quite.
In front of his fiancée Min-suk (played by Kim Hye-joon), Kang Sang-ung makes a not very reassuring demonstration: "The more money I have on me, the stronger I become." But as soon as the money disappears, replaced by a few coins, he worries: "And when I use this power... the money disappears. There's nothing left. What am I supposed to do?"
In other words: saving lives... on credit.
Super-powers, super-problems
The hero soon realizes that "super" is not synonymous with "solution". Lucid about the absurdity of his situation, he wryly blurts out, "Having 'super' in front of something doesn't mean it's better."
Before concluding, fatalistically: "Basically... I'm screwed."
Yet where logic would dictate protecting himself, Kang Sang-ung chooses to act. His fiancée tries to reason with him: "Let's not use this power. But he decides, aware of the price to be paid: "The need for money never stops. Put your life on the line to protect everyday life."
Around him gravitate other key figures: Byun Ho-in (played by Kim Byung-chul) and Bang Eun-mi (Kim Hyang-gi), as well as antagonists Jonathan (Lee Chae-min) and his sister Joanna (Kang Han-na), hunters of people with supernatural powers. Fans will be delighted to welcome back the duo seen in Bon appétit, your majesty this summer.
The official poster sums up the dilemma perfectly: "Seriously? Using my money to do good?" Under a straightforward slogan: "My money is my power."
Broadcast December 26 on Netflix
