The wait is finally over for K-drama fans as Cashero, one of the most talked-about Korean series of the year, premieres on Netflix today, December 26. The show stars Lee Jun-ho and marks his full return to K-dramas after nearly two years. The buzz has been building online, with fans and search trends already showing strong interest ahead of the release.
Cashero drops all eight episodes at once on Netflix, so viewers can watch the entire season without waiting week by week. In India, the series will be available from 1:30 PM IST. Subtitles will be available, making it easy for international audiences to follow along.
This all-at-once release is expected to draw even more viewers, especially those excited to see Lee Jun-ho back after his hit King the Land in 2023. His other 2025 project, Typhoon Family, received good feedback, which has only raised expectations for Cashero.
The story follows Kang Sang-ung, an ordinary community center worker whose life changes when he gains superpowers. But there’s a catch—his strength depends on how much cash he has. Every time he uses his powers, his money disappears. This adds a new, relatable twist to the superhero genre, where heroism comes at a real financial cost.
Sang-ung’s girlfriend, Kim Min-suk, played by Kim Hye-jun, is a math expert who helps him calculate the cost of each heroic move. As the story unfolds, Sang-ung discovers a secret world of people with special abilities. He teams up with Byeon Ho-in, a lawyer whose powers work only after drinking, played by Kim Byung-chul, and Bang Eun-mi, a cheerful woman whose telekinesis depends on her calorie intake, played by Kim Hyang-gi. Together, they take on the Criminal Association, a dangerous group targeting powered individuals.
Cashero is directed by Lee Chang-min and written by Lee Jane and Jeon Chan-ho. It is based on a popular Kakao Webtoon by team befar. Alongside Lee Jun-ho, the cast includes Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byung-chul, Kim Hyang-gi, Kang Han-na, and Lee Chae-min.
