Cashero - thatguy - 12-29-2025
I saw that this is one of the most watched shows currently, so I gave ep 1 a try.
A young man and his intense GF are struggling in the crazy Seoul housing market. One day, the main character's loser dad calls and says he has something for him. He goes to the country to visit his folks and his dad passes the family superpower to him (by force, with no warning). The rules are:
- you have to have cash on your person to use your super power - the more cash you have on you, the stronger your power. The cash will disappear after (leaving some small change in return)
- you have to use your superpower to help others
- you can't use others money
- you shouldn't tell anyone about your power
So, immediately, he tells his GF when he gets home. They experiment to understand the above rules and decide that he shouldn't carry money, help any one, expend any excess energy, etc...
So he's a reluctant hero, and by the end of ep 1, has blown thru a lot of cash.
I like the concept, but the execution is on par with 80's TV series. Not particularly great dialog or acting. Lots of winging. It reminded me a lot of Greatest American Hero. I can easily imagine a studio here remaking it. maybe the pace picks up in later episodes, but I wasn't engaged.
Not recommended.

That popped up in my suggestions too. I like the concept but didn't go for it.
