As the week winds down, it’s the perfect time to unwind with stories that stretch the imagination, stir emotions and provide a welcome escape. Here’s what to check out:
Cashero — Netflix
This Korean superhero drama offers a refreshing twist on the genre. It follows Kang Sang-woong, an ordinary civil servant who discovers he has superhuman strength, powered entirely by the amount of cash he holds. The more money he has, the stronger he becomes, but every heroic act literally drains his wallet.
As Sang-woong juggles rent, daily bills and dreams of home ownership, he also struggles to understand an unpredictable power that comes at a steep personal cost. Grounded in everyday realities, “Cashero” explores what heroism actually means when saving the day leaves you financially empty.
