The first season of “Money Heist: Korea” has already aired on Netflix. Six episodes that are too reminiscent of the acclaimed Spanish series, so much so that it ends up being a rehash with little personality -hopefully 'Berlin', the spin-off, and also a prequel, starring Peter Alonso can remove that bad taste in our mouths. This does not mean that there are some changesbeing one of the most striking than here the already mythical dali mask.
the new mask
On this occasion, it was inappropriate to use Dalí's mask due to its zero importance in Korean culture, so we chose one that has its origins in the Hahoe, the oldest Korean mask dancehaving been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Korea. Hae Soo Parkthe actor who plays the Professor in "Money Heist: Korea", explained the reason for this choice:
In Spain, the Dali mask was used to send the message of freedom, and in Korea, we use the Hahoe mask from the Andong region, and the Hahoe mask has some meaning. He embodies the criticism of the powerful, and also has a sense of humor. When the mask was first presented to me, I felt an overwhelming sense of power when all of the cast members wore it. It has different angles from the center and from the side as well. The appearance of the mask from different angles can look very different, so that's something that intrigued me.
Of course, inside the Hahoe there were originally twelve masks and the one chosen is that of yangban, which depicts an aristocrat usually mocked at these masked balls. About, Jun Jong Seothe new Tokyo, comments this:
Even before filming started, we were very curious about what kind of mask we were going to wear, and when we heard that the Hahoe mask had been chosen, and when we saw the mask, I was very surprised because this is not a simple , but has a big smile and conveys a sense of humor and, at the same time, a sense of mystery. So it has meaning on many levels and I was really intrigued by the mask.
You can watch 'The Paper House: Korea' on Netflix starting June 24.
