Dressing as the Enemy | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: The first SWAT team that were to be sent in wore their usual gear, but the second team were dressed just like the people in the Mint. Of course, this made sense as they were meant to be infiltrators, and while the Professor eventually figured it out and sends in his team after them, one soldier managed to successfully join the hostages. | |

Downplayed. While Tokyo and Nairobi are still separate characters, Tokyo inherits some traits of the original Nairobi, such as becoming the leader in the Mint after the group disagrees with Berlin's methods. Meanwhile, Nairobi takes the original Tokyo's status as The Tease. | |

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: The Professor sees Moo-Hyuk once in the Task Force tent, and once more when the latter is snuck into the medical team allowed inside the Mint. Rather than just be content with that, or think he may have just remembered wrong, the Professor instead focused on the different glasses Moo-Hyuk was wearing to correctly deduce that there was a camera. Moo-Hyuk is the first to suspect Woo-Jin's new boyfriend because he was the only outsider to step inside the Task Force tent. Tokyo stops Anne from returning Woo-Jin's hug, preventing her from passing information to the police. | |

Adaptational Heroism: The cops have much less friction amongst themselves. Woo-Jin and Moo-Hyuk didn't have the best introduction, but after Woo-Jin stops him from making a potentially catastrophic mistake, Moo-Hyuk is willing to provide her all his resources. The chief, while still overly concerned about PR, is also much more willing to let his staff do their jobs and trust their judgment. | |

Terminally Ill Criminal: Downplayed with Berlin, who, unlike his counterpart from the original series, isn't really motivated by or doesn't mind about his identical illness at all, since he had spent over two decades diagnosed with it, and doesn't try to get himself killed when he gets the opportunity to do it in a glamorous way. He still gets physical and mental issues when he doesn't take his necessary medication for a good while, though. | |

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Just as in the original series, there is a scene where a compromised Moscow is assisted by Denver and the hostages. Everyone is masked, so the watching police cannot take action, but at one point the Mint director starts acting aggressively because he thought Denver killed his paramour. Denver and everyone else kneels, and the police open fire on who they quickly realize is a hostage. | |

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The Location Theme Naming of some of the characters are given more context for. Tokyo chooses her name to refer to the Japanese occupation because the crew is about to do something bad. Berlin, who spent most of his life in Kaechon concentration camp, likely chose his alias as reference to Nazi Germany. Rio, whom Tokyo first describes to look like a K-pop idol, states that he has always wanted to visit Rio Carnival. Denver is a Rocky fan and picks up said city because he mistakenly associates the Rocky Mountains with the movie's setting. Moscow reveals that his late mother's lifetime wish was to travel on train from Busan all the way to Moscow. Nairobi claims she chose the city from Africa due to the diamonds and greatness of Mother Nature. Like her Spanish counterpart, Mi-seon takes Stockholm as her alias when she joins the crew after developing Stockholm Syndrome towards Denver. | |

Adaptational Badass: Tokyo here was a former soldier in the North Korean army, so she is a lot calmer and in a position to teach others. At one point, she even leads the rest of her team and almost gets mistaken for the Professor. Berlin isn't just a thief; he survived growing up in a forced labour gulag in North Korea, and learned at a much younger age how to organize people to follow him. Anne Kim, the student with the important ambassador parents, is not the shrinking wallflower easily bullied by her classmates. Instead of needing a rescue and pep-talk from her captors, she actively plots against them and tries to work with the infiltrating cops. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: When Woo-jin catches the gang as their getaway train is about to leave, the Professor asks if she intends to arrest them because they revealed the corruption of Sang-man and his allies with the heist or simply out of revenge for his deception of her. She's left on the platform as an emotional wreck while the train parts. | |

Trojan Horse | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_7d1ee5b2 | comment |
Trojan Horse: In Episode 4 of Season 1, much like the one from the original series, Young-min needs medical attention after being shot in the previous episode, and the police try to sneak Moo-hyuk as part of the team that will treat him while a group of agents get in through a tunnel disguised as hostages. The Professor, aware of the plan, has Rio hack his cellphone to plant a bug and change the masks of everyone else to make the agents stand out. This is even name-dropped in the flashback to the Professor explaining the tactic to the team, with Denver saying that he knew it from "the Brad Pitt movie." | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the original series, the Task Force is often at odds with each other. Here, Moo-Hyuk is a North Korean captain who is immediately at odds with his South Korean counterparts and starts off questioning Woo-Jin's tactics, but does care for his team and treats the people around him a lot more respectfully. He also expresses regret and is willing to accept punishment for his mistakes. The students are not bullies here, and no boy takes photos of Anne without her consent. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Woo-Jin was selected by the Korean government to lead the Task Force because she was the only negotiator at the time not connected to a scandal. Because the scandals were actually outed by the Professor before the heist, solely to place her in that position, Captain Cha suspected she was a mole. After he tells her about this, she realizes the thieves may have targeted her early. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Moscow, when he first learned that his son allegedly executed one of the hostages, is horrified that he helped turn his son into a murderer. Anne blames herself for causing the death of a would-be rescuer, who explicitly told her not to alert anyone about him, only for her to do so. As the one who orders and approves the more militant tactics, Moo-Hyuk experiences this often. Highlights include almost killing hostages, sending a soldier to his presumed death, and cutting Woo-Jin out from the investigation. Nairobi experiences this after she indirectly causes Oslo's death due to being blackmailed to try to murder Anne when her son's life is threatened. | |

Adaptational Backstory Change | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_ba46585b | comment |
Adaptational Backstory Change: Unlike the original Professor, this one was never fond of robberies since his childhood, instead being motivated to begin one to simply solve the Korean society's economic issues. Plus, the outline of the heist is entirely his own, whereas the original took plans from people close to him. Exaggerated with Berlin, who's pretty much the only character in the series who has a completely different backstory from his original counterpart. Rather than being a terminally ill career thief who's had multiple wives and a son, he's a former concentration camp prisoner who applies his experience to command the heist at the Mint. While both versions of Tokyo had a hard life before joining the heist team, the original was a willing thief who robbed small locales. The Korean one, on the other hand, was a North Korean military veteran who tried to find a legitimate job in South Korea, but ended up becoming a fugitive from the poor job conditions that she had. The original Moscow left mining due to getting silicosis and experiencing claustrophobia. This one had to leave due his constant convictions. As the setting is Korea, Tokyo's name choice generates much more reaction. To this day the Korean population remembers their Japanese occupation, Tokyo even says her name choice is because they will be doing something bad. | |

They too believed they were truly in love, and Moscow correctly guesses that Mi-seon has told Denver she doesn't need money as long as she can be with him, which is exactly what Denver's mother told him. However, once Denver was born, his mother left him, and Moscow, not wanting his son to repeat his father's mistakes, begs him to leave Mi-seon. He eventually comes around while he's dying and Mi-seon assures him she's serious about choosing a fugitive's life with Denver. | |

Decomposite Character | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Decomposite Character: Downplayed. Helsinki and Oslo are separate characters in both series, but the original Oslo was always Out of Focus while Helsinki gets to show his Hidden Depths as a Bruiser with a Soft Center, especially following Oslo's death. The new Helsinki and Oslo have the original Helsinki's traits split more evenly between them, like his close friendship with Nairobi. The new Oslo is also the one who commits the original Helsinki's mistake of failing to get rid of the team's car in accordance to the Professor's instructions. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: What the police complains about, as it seems like all the criminals would rather die then reveal the Professor. Berlin even picks up Rio’s resentment of the Professor because Tokyo has this, while Denver goes through a beating from Young-Min and still refused to give up information. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: When Nairobi confesses she's the one who betrayed the team by trying to murder Anne and unwittingly causing Oslo's death, she's quickly forgiven when she explains Kim Sang-man threatened to hurt her son if she doesn't obey him. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Moo-Hyuk wants the heist to end just as much as Woo-Jin does, but his aggressive and militant approach puts them at odds. | |

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Berlin tells Cho Young-min that any hostages who cooperate obviously won't be able to just leave with the money, but will get a big box of it at a later date. In the final scene, when Cho Young-min is moving out after his wife leaves him, he rejects a box he didn't pack and leaves it on the curb. The camera then pans to show it's full of cash. | |
