Trivia about Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area

Park Jung-woo was set to play Rio, but he withdrew due to scheduling conflicts with the drama «Fly High Butterfly» and was replaced by Lee Hyun-woo.

The series topped Netflix's weekly list of most-watched international series with 33,740,000 hours viewed in the week of June 20 to June 26.

On Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of the 17 reviews collected are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10.

In June 2020, it was reported that BH Entertainment was planning a remake of Money Heist, which it would co-produce with Zium Content.

Filming had to be suspended for one day, on July 7, 2021, because the production followed the quarantine rules in effect in South Korea due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Netflix had not confirmed a second season until December 2022, and the series accumulated 12.8 million viewing hours during the week of December 5 to December 12, following the premiere of its second part.
