If you're hungry for a fresh, wild, K-superhero twist, Netflix’s upcoming series Cashero is about to be your new obsession. Dropping December 26, this money-fueled action-comedy flips every superhero trope you know right on its head — because here, every punch literally costs cash.


Yup. Being a hero has never been this financially painful. And honestly? It’s genius.


⭐ Cashero on Netflix


Before we dive deep, here’s your short takeaway:

Cashero is Netflix’s big year-end Korean superhero series where strength equals spending, danger equals debt, and the world’s fate depends on how much cash is left in your pocket.

Now, let’s crack it open…



…

💥 What Is Cashero About?

Kang Sang-ung (played by Lee Jun-ho) is a sweet, broke, community center worker who dreams of owning a tiny apartment — nothing heroic, nothing flashy.


But life throws him the ultimate expensive curveball: He wakes up with super strength linked directly to the amount of money in his wallet.

  • Punch? ₩20,000 gone.

  • Kick? ₩50,000 gone.

  • Save the world? Goodbye savings.


Sang-ung quickly learns there’s a darker world behind the scenes: someone is hunting down powered individuals… and he’s next.


To fight back, he teams up with a… very cost-efficient squad:


🥐 Bang Eun-mi — The Calorie Queen

Her telekinesis only works if she keeps eating pastries.Carbs = power.


🥃 Byeon Ho-in — The Alcohol-Powered Lawyer

His superpowers activate when he drinks.Yes, he is literally a drunken master.


🧠 Kim Min-suk — The Math Genius Girlfriend

No powers.Just a terrifying ability to calculate the cost of heroism.

Together? They’re the most unprofitable superhero team in history — and that’s why viewers will fall for them.


🎭 Cashero Cast List

The lineup is stacked:

  • Lee Jun-ho — Kang Sang-ung

  • Kim Hye-jun — Kim Min-suk

  • Kim Byong-chul — Byeon Ho-in
