"Paper House: Korea" has recently been released on Netflix, starring Yoo Ji-tae , Kim Yoon-jin, Park Hae-soo , Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Ji-hoon . There are two Korean chapters, and the first one currently available has a total of Six episodes, and this series is an adaptation of the Spanish drama "La Casa de Papel". The story tells the story of a mysterious professor who gathers a group of people to rob the National Mint.

The original version of "Robbing the National Mint" only lasted for two seasons, but the first part had thirteen episodes, and the second part had nine episodes, which means that it took a total of twenty-two episodes to complete "The Robbing of the National Mint". I was quite surprised that the first part of the Korean version only had six episodes. The overall plot of the six episodes was also condensed a lot.

In fact, according to my own observation, most of the viewers who like to watch Korean dramas and those who like to watch European and American dramas are mostly people from different ethnic groups. There are very few people who watch everything like me. I don’t think there are any viewers who want to watch the original version. You can try watching the Korean version, because I know some people are not used to watching European and American dramas, so I personally watch the Korean version because I want to see how it will be adapted.

This compilation and analysis is made after I have watched the five seasons of the original version. I will be careful not to overdo the original version and organize the Korean version with you. I think this remake is very challenging. of.

Remakes are almost always difficult to succeed, because there is already an established success story. How to find your own way in a remake is a very difficult thing. From my own point of view, I think if I have not seen it If you look at the original version, you may think that the Korean version is very good.

But I have already seen the original version. Looking at the Korean version, I can only say that the Korean version is working very hard to improve the script, but the Spanish style is really strong. Some advantages cannot be copied, but many shortcomings have also been improved. From the background of the story, you can completely feel that the screenwriter has worked very hard to internalize the script.

I feel that no matter how I change it, it will be difficult for the first part to break away from the structure of the original script. But after seeing the end of the first part, I can’t help but think that some stories seem to really start a new development in the Korean chapter. Maybe the second part in the future You will really see a more Korean-style story.

In this article, Zu Ning will first briefly organize the world view, character settings, and Easter eggs of the Korean version. Later, he will also analyze the ending of the first part or discuss the adaptation of the two versions of the plot. Everyone is welcome to discuss with me, then we will Start organizing today.

1. The background of the Korean version of Paper House is adapted from

. The original Spanish version actually has no special political involvement. If someone asks me what Paper House is about, I will tell you that it is the story of a group of desperadoes pursuing freedom.

After five seasons, money and wealth have never been the primary demands for the professor. The professor is the leader of this group of people, but he is an idealist. What he pursues is ideals, dreams, and even self-realization. He takes it with him. A group of people went to rob the mint because they wanted to give these people a life without being trapped by capital, a truly free life.

The Korean version is a little more complicated, but I have to say that I think the situation on the Korean Peninsula is very suitable for the core of Paper House.

Under the skillful hands of the director, a background was created in 2025 where South Korea and North Korea finally ceased war and agreed to establish a cooperative economic zone. Taking advantage of the fact that South Koreans and North Koreans each have very obvious personalities and values, certain conflicts are bound to break out. , some illusions are bound to be shattered.

However, the real benefits of cooperation between the two Koreas will only go to the rich, while the poor and common people will only become poorer and more difficult to survive, putting the common people into a bigger cage. Everyone is watching In a seemingly free country, he is imprisoned by money in a hell from which he cannot escape.In this story background, there are very clear differences in settings whether each character is North Korean or South Korean. Let’s look at each character one by one.

2. Korean version of Berlin

The Korean version of Berlin is played by Park Hae Soo. Park Hae Soo once starred in " witty cell life ". I highly recommend everyone to watch this one. Of course, there is also the well-known " squid game ", and the Korean version of Berlin is me The character I think has changed the most.

When I first saw the casting, I thought Park Hae Soo’s temperament was not much different from the original one. But after I started watching the Korean version, I was really surprised, because the Korean version of Berlin is a wanted criminal who escaped from prison, and the whole character is completely The prison boss believes that life is a battle, so he acts very decisively and cruelly.

When he was a child, he once wanted to escape North Korea with his mother, but her mother died in the process of escaping. At the same time, he was also the character furthest away from the word "freedom."

Berlin in the original version, this character is both elegant and romantic at the same time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who have seen the original version will agree, because Berlin is an artist character with contradictory charm.

The Korean version’s adaptation of Berlin seems to indicate that the future direction will be different, because starting from the third part of the original version, the story almost revolves around Berlin. This makes me look forward to how the Korean version plans to go its own way. Paper house story.

I think it is quite interesting that Berlin was also wearing a suit when he first appeared, which was very different from his demeanor at the mint. It seems that we can also guess from this that the Berlin we see may not be what he wants to be. He has to Choosing that way of living, maybe if possible, he would also want to live elegantly.

3. Korean version of Tokyo

Personally, when I watched the original version, I was really annoyed by the love affairs of the protagonists. In this regard, the first Korean version has made a lot of improvements, at least not at inappropriate times. Being ambiguous, talking about love, and being jealous, I can accept the Korean version of the background and character settings.

The original Tokyo has her charm, but it cannot be denied that sometimes I really want to hit her with a stick. I can’t help but think that she is a love brain, but this has become a good foreshadowing in the fifth season. The love brain inversion has become the reason why Tokyo has been living like this. The original Tokyo can be said to be a very loyal and free character.

The Korean version of Tokyo is really a cool girl with ideals. The Korean version of Tokyo was born in North Korea and is full of admiration for South Korea's pop culture. However, when she was in North Korea, she had to enlist in the army and really participate in the war. I think this is It also better pave the way for Tokyo's different skills from others.

In the original version, Tokyo has been a desperado for a long time, but his skills are as if he was born with them. The screenwriter did not explain much, but in the Korean version, there is an additional military design, which makes Tokyo fast, cruel and accurate. His skills are further paved.

However, her longing for South Korean pop culture has become a nightmare in Tokyo. When she came to Seoul, she was like a mouse running into a mouse trap. She was deceived and exploited and her dream of life in South Korea was instantly shattered, but it was not broken. There are only ideals and a normal life as a human being. In the end, in order to survive, Tokyo had to pick up the firearm she was most familiar with.

For a year, she continued to rob loan sharks, and at the same time fought for survival and ideals. In a society that was not tolerated by her, the professor appeared in front of her. In fact, I like it very much. He said that when the professor first appeared, she thought it was hell. The part about the messenger, because in the original version Tokyo always considered the professor to be her guardian angel, the two versions looked a bit funny in comparison, and there has always been a life-saving relationship between Tokyo and the professor. This is true in the Korean version. Because of the removal of the love brain setting, it is also more prominent.

But also because of being disillusioned with dreams and running away for a long time, Tokyo’s character is quite indifferent, and he is even not good at negotiating with others. He is not even willing to speak in front of people. There are many differences from the original version, but I also like it quite a lot. Such Tokyo. However, I feel that if there is a sequel in the future, Tokyo may one day return to the Tokyo that loves to dance.

4. Korean version of Rio

Rio is a native of Seoul, South Korea. He is the only son of a rich second generation. He became an excellent hacker at a young age and violated the Internet Law. However, this talent also made the professor Coming to the door, Rio has put more effort into the background compared to the original version, making the Korean version of Rio more three-dimensional.

is a teenager who wants to escape from his family, but also longs for recognition. The Korean version of Rio is more lively and outgoing. He feels like a very typical character that will appear in Korean dramas. He is a bit immature, but he has what he wants to be. He didn't want to be restrained by his father, so he had to escape, which led to this robbery.

5. Korean version of Denver, Moscow

Both father and son are South Koreans. Denver has fought in illegal fighting arenas and is a street gangster who is good at fighting. He has committed illegal gambling and violence and injury. His father, Moscow, is a miner. Imprisoned for special theft, the professor recruited Moscow because of the needs of the project, and Moscow's condition was to take Denver with him.

In fact, the settings of this father and son pair are not much different from the original version. Even the characters and personalities are similar. It feels like a father and son pair that symbolizes the lower class people in South Korea.

6. Korean version of Nairobi (played by Jang Yun-joo)

Because she was born in South Korea, she is very good at taking care of her appearance and is a professional fraud expert. This is why the professor recruited her. She must be responsible for printing banknotes. The Korean version of Nairobi is probably the character whose appearance is most different from the original version, but it feels like it will continue the background setting of the original version.

At present, there is no chance to bring the background of Nairobi to the first part, we will talk about it later! My favorite character in the original version is actually Nairobi, because this character can be said to be one of the few who is serious about robbing. While everyone else is doing things, she is the only one who is serious and happy because she prints money.

7. Helsinki , Oslo

They were once members of a criminal organization, and the two teamed up to eliminate the entire organization. The positioning of these brothers in the Korean version is a bit awkward, between having a role and not having a role, but they are relatively similar in the story. Approach the tool man.

In the original version, the characteristics of the characters are gradually highlighted, but this may also be because the episodes of the original version are long enough, and there is enough space for Helsinki and Oslo to stretch their hands and feet. After all, they are very powerful, okay! You may have to wait until the second part to compare the characteristics of these two characters. The design of this pairing is not too different from the original design. Helsinki in the original version is very lovable, but in the Korean version, it is hard to tell whether the screenwriter is serious. Develop both characters.

8. Paper House Hahoe Mask Meaning

The original version used a Dali mask, which also became a symbol of resistance in the play, while the Korean version uses the traditional Korean Hahoe mask, which is usually used to exorcise demons. But it was also worn to scare enemy troops in war.

There are eleven faces in Hahoe masks. The one used in the play is Yangban, which is the aristocratic class. From different angles, sometimes it looks like smiling, sometimes it looks like it is angry. It is quite interesting to choose the Yangban mask, and this People just don’t want to be trapped in such a hereditary society, so they choose to put on masks and snatch freedom.

9. Yoo Kuanshun, the universal currency character in Paper House

Although not everyone may be interested, I think you can get to know him! This time, Nairobi has been talking about the currency design for a long time. One of the historical figures used in it is Yoo Kwan-soon (유관순), a South Korean independence activist who participated in many social movements, but was unfortunately arrested and even ended up being arrested by Japan. The invaders tortured him severely and left the world at the age of only 17 years old.

I think it was definitely not easy to stand up for independence in that era. In the atmosphere of that era, pursuing freedom and independence was like a crime. Some things you think are right, but the world does not necessarily work that way. It is very consistent with the concept of a paper house. A hero at the core.

10. Korean version of Paper House Easter Egg Bella ciao

The original theme song Bella Ciao is an Italian folk song . It is used in some very important times in the original version. This is a song born in the war era. Balla ciao in the lyrics It's about the beauty saying goodbye. The whole song can be said to be saying goodbye, because the soldiers are going to the battlefield.

The Korean version also paid tribute to this and secretly used it in the Bella Ciao cafe opened by the professor. However, the word Ciao can mean hello or goodbye at the same time, so it seems okay to use it in the name of the cafe (is it?).

In short, today’s paper house sorting and analysis will stop here. We can have a preliminary discussion, and then we will make a video and have an in-depth discussion. It will be more interesting to discuss it together after everyone has watched the series.
