The Netflix series Cashero has drawn attention by ranking No. 2 on Netflix's global top 10 series (non-English) institutional sector list, and released behind-the-scenes stills.
Sang-ung, a salaried worker struggling with wedding funds and house prices, acquires the ability to become stronger in proportion to the money he holds, and the everyday, wallet-powered hero story Cashero recorded 3,800,000 views (the number of viewing hours divided by the work's total running time) after its release on Dec. 26 (Fri), rising to No. 2 on the global top 10 series (non-English) institutional sector list. In addition, it has appeared on the top 10 list in 37 countries including Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Saudi Arabia, demonstrating its global popularity.
Cashero, which delivers not only joyful laughter but also empathy and freshness, has received enthusiastic responses from viewers around the world.
Domestic viewers commented, "The premise of a hero who saves the world using his own money was truly fresh, and the pitiable moments of wavering against the wall of reality were striking" (WatchaPedia user **), "The clinking of coins brings both thrill and pity. I like that it is a realistic hero story rather than a traditional one" (YouTube user ded*****), "I love a Korean-style hero who saves the world even if no one recognizes him" (X user heter********), praising the fresh concept of a "slice-of-life hero" unlike anything seen before.
Continuing, domestic viewers said, "It made me wonder, could I help others with my own money?" (WatchaPedia s**), "Laughing and crying, time flies" (YouTube user Lee Bok-soong****), "There are so many precious lines and direction in every corner" (X user Iitju********), "Every line hits straight to reality" (X user itye******), suggesting that the stories of the pitiable heroes in Cashero resonated with many viewers.
Overseas viewers also praised the series and performances, saying, "An excellent series. The acting is very impressive and satisfying" (X user jooch****), and "It is interesting that the hero concept is newly reinterpreted. The actors' performances, which bring the characters to life, stand out" (IMDb user jasmin***), applauding the actors for portraying Cashero's characters with six distinct, characterful performances.
The released behind-the-scenes stills capture the actors' passion and warm teamwork, drawing attention.
First, the scene of Lee Jun-ho filming the sequence where he pulls a bus out of a river evokes the memorable moment when Sang-ung ultimately chooses to save the world instead of his wallet. A still that captures coins falling from Lee Jun-ho's pocket as he passionately performs wearing wires to film the flying Sang-ung scene also draws the eye. Behind the scenes, it was revealed that Lee Jun-ho actually wore a heavy coin belt around his abdomen for realistic effects, showing his effort to portray the wallet-powered hero Sang-ung.
Kim Hye Jun, fully immersed in Minsook's emotional arc, and the stills of Kim Byung-chul and Kim Hyang-gi monitoring the filming with serious expressions convey their passion for completing Cashero. In addition, the images of Lee Jun-ho, Kim Hye Jun, Kim Byung-chul and Kim Hyang-gi posing warmly together offer a glimpse of the chemistry of TEAM Sang-ung that shines off camera.
In the stills of Lee Jun-ho and Lee Chae-min filming the climactic confrontation between Sang-ung and Jonathan that capped Cashero, their passion and immersion to convey the tense atmosphere between the two characters stand out.
This year-end, Cashero, which is delighting global viewers with the stories of pitiable heroes, is streaming on Netflix.<
