SLL-produced Netflix series Cashero opened a new horizon for "K-hero" by ranking in the top spots for four consecutive weeks.
On the 21st, according to Netflix's official ranking tally, Cashero entered Netflix's global top 10 non-English shows for four consecutive weeks. This proves that SLL's original planning, which combined the most realistic subject of "money" with the unreal fun of a superhero story, resonated with global viewers.
While previous superhero works focused on absolute justice or transcendental power, Cashero boldly foregrounds the fresh premise that "power grows with the cash in your hand." The protagonist, whose strength varies with the single bill in his wallet as he worries about rent and living expenses, is said to offer modern people living in reality both pleasantly biting satire and deep empathy at the same time.
At the center of this success are the cast's stable acting and SLL's solid character-building capabilities. Lee Jun-ho vividly portrayed the protagonist Kang Sang-woong, a man with superpowers who nonetheless struggles with the worries of an ordinary petty citizen, bringing realism to the work, and SLL refined the webtoon original's ingenious imagination into a narrative that global viewers could empathize with, adding strength to the production. That is why online commentary says, "If American heroes save the world, Cashero's K-hero saves my daily life and the livelihoods of my loved ones."
An SLL official said SLL has led K-hero projects that break genre stereotypes, and that through Cashero it has drawn global empathy for K-hero, adding that it will continue to leap forward as a global studio leading trends in the world content market with original planning that maximizes the appeal of the source IP and a strong global network.
