Instead of stealing money, they will hold out a hostage situation to buy them time to fabricate their untraceable money. Money Heist: Korea adapts up to episode 11 of the first season of the original series.
There are a total of 13 episodes in the first season, with the following second season having nine. The K-drama has a long way to go before ending the grand heist. In an article by Soompi, actor Yoon told Elle Magazine there are a total of 12 episodes in the K-drama that have already been filmed.
