Cashero

Kang Sang-ung is an ordinary man who wakes up with super strength, but every time he uses it cash disappears from his wallet. He experiments with the limits of that power while juggling job, family and the ripple effects of sudden capability. As he attracts attention, a darker force surfaces, aiming to seize what he has. The series follows Sang-ung and the people around him as they respond to new dangers and moral dilemmas, mixing kinetic action with quieter domestic moments while keeping big revelations and the antagonist's full plan under wraps. Support from allies is uneven, and loyalties shift often too.

Cashero premiered in 2025, directed by Lee Chang-min and created by 全燦浩. The cast includes Lee Jun-ho, Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byong-chul, Kim Hyang-gi and Kang Hanna, and the series blends action and drama. Production uses practical effects and fight choreography.

As of early 2025 Cashero hasn't picked up major industry awards, and there are no widely reported Emmy or Golden Globe nominations. It does have a modest audience score, 7.329/10 from 35 votes, and it's been noted in several online reviews and podcasts.

The show's central gimmick, that strength drains literal money, has led viewers to riff on economic metaphors and morality online. Clips and fan art circulate on social platforms, and the concept is often used jokingly in memes about budgeting and heroism. Some discussions connect it to modern gig economy anxieties.

Reviews are mixed-to-positive, with praise for the show's mash of high-energy action and small-scale stakes, though some critics note uneven pacing. Major themes include responsibility, the tangible costs of power, economic anxiety and how communities react when one person holds unusual leverage. Performances are frequently singled out, and tonal shifts.
