OFFICIAL TRAILER
FULL STORY
The series, both a remake and spin-off/continuation of the Spanish TV drama, follows the storyline and characters of the original. “The Professor” (Yoo Ji-tae), a strategist criminal mastermind, plans to pull off a heist in the reunified Korean Peninsula inspired by those in Spain.
The operation involves strategists and desperados with different characteristics and abilities, who have to face unusual situations. Thieves overtake the mint of a unified Korea. With hostages trapped inside, the police must stop them — as well as the shadowy mastermind behind it all.
