That's what I thought when I picked it up and it was for the most part. Stories like these are only fun watched once. Of course, already aware of the plot, I watched for the only reason you do- good acting. The actors were pretty good, even the severe critics would agree.

First of all, do not even think comparing it with the original. Hold that thought and listen to me. If you liked La casa de papel, it would not be hard to like this one.For the new viewers, you don't want to skip this.

It's funny and even funnier if you decide to figure similiarities and slight changes between both. At least that's what kept me busy. I would suggest not to watch if you watch shows for refreshing plots. You may or may not like it but korea did its best to pull off the heist.
