Her backstory involves the JEA’s economic collapse. | | Berlin (베를린) | Park Hae-soo | Andrés de Fonollosa | Arguably the standout. More aristocratic, cruel, but with a tragic North Korean defector backstory. | | Nairobi (나이로비) | Kim Ji-hyun | Ágata Jiménez | Similar leadership qualities; master engraver. | | Rio (리오) | Lee Hyun-woo | Aníbal Cortés | Younger, more naive hacker. | | Denver (덴버) | Kim Ji-hoon | Daniel Ramos | More comedic but retains emotional volatility. | | Moscow (모스크바) | Lee Won-jong | Agustín Ramos | Denver’s father; miner. | | Helsinki (헬싱키) | Kim Ji-hun | Mirko Dragic | Loyal to Berlin. | | Oslo (오슬로) | Lee Kyu-ho | Bogdan Dragic | Minimal dialogue. | | Inspector Seon Woo-jin | Kim Yunjin | Raquel Murillo | Not “Lisbon” here. A special agent for the JEA joint task force. | | Captain Cha Moo-hyuk | Kim Sung-oh | Colonel Prieto | New character; combines some Prieto and Angel traits. | | Kim Sang-man (hostage negotiator) | Park Myung-hoon | Alberto Vicuña (Arturo) | More pathetic and less villainous than Arturo Román. | 4. Plot Summary (Part 1 – 6 Episodes) Episode 1-2 – The Setup: The Professor recruits Tokyo (a former soldier-turned-robber) and eight other criminals to steal ₩4 trillion from the JEA’s newly built mint. Unlike the Spanish version’s 11-day plan, this heist is designed for a shorter timeline due to the mint’s unique security. The team breaches the mint, takes 60+ hostages, and seals themselves in.
