Cashero, Season 1 is a fresh and hilarious interpretation of the superhero genre, with its share of satire and touching character scenes. Its main theme is a civil servant, Kang Sang Woong, turned into a superhero whose power lies in the amount of money he possesses, which offers a very intelligent commentary on the materialist society and the shallowness of the power of money. This peculiarity of the classical hero archetype adds a cheeky satire that makes the audience reflect on the values people have in society and provides the audience with enough laughs. The character of Sang Woong, who started as an ordinary man but turned out to be a hero who struggles with his own limitations and money dependency, is an easy to follow and yet a wonderful movie account of self esteem and true power.
The drama is superior on character dynamic especially how Sang Woong relates with his realistic girlfriend who is a lawyer, whose powers come into play when she is drinking, and a psychic who runs on calories. Their characters are funny and touching, creating the perfect match between action-packed shots and the true emotionalism. The antagonists of the heroes are mysterious, and there is the supporting cast that provides additional intrigue and excitement. The language is light-hearted but significant, and the dialogues and joking visual jokes make the series interesting. The action and the speed are a vibrant rhythm, which enables the character development to thrive in the arena of superhero adventures.
The best part to me was the cleverness with which the poem “Cashero” criticizes the materialistic nature of the society, yet it glorifies the values of such genuine traits as loyalty, smartness, and stamina. The humor and the social commentary of the show makes it entertaining as well as thought-provoking, making people remember that, being strong is not necessarily what you have in your pocket, but what you possess inside yourself. All in all, Season 1 is a humorous, creative show that is both entertaining and thought-provoking and to which I recommend.
