This release strategy is expected to boost viewership, especially among fans who have been eagerly waiting to see Lee Jun-ho back on screen after King the Land (2023). His other 2025 project, Typhoon Family, has already received positive feedback, further increasing expectations for Cashero.
Here’s what Cashero is about
Cashero follows the story of Kang Sang-ung, an ordinary community center employee whose life changes after he gains superpowers with a strange limitation. His strength depends entirely on how much cash he has. Every time he uses his powers, his money vanishes. This unusual rule turns heroism into a financial risk and adds a relatable layer to the superhero genre.
Sang-ung’s girlfriend, Kim Min-suk, played by Kim Hye-jun, is a math expert who helps him calculate the cost of each heroic decision. As the story unfolds, Sang-ung discovers a hidden world of people with special abilities. He teams up with Byeon Ho-in, a lawyer who gains power only after drinking, played by Kim Byung-chul, and Bang Eun-mi, a cheerful woman whose telekinetic powers depend on calorie intake, played by Kim Hyang-gi.
Together, they face the Criminal Association, a dangerous group targeting powered individuals.
Directed by Lee Chang-min and written by Lee Jane and Jeon Chan-ho, Cashero is based on the popular Kakao Webtoon by team befar. Along with Lee Jun-ho, the cast includes Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byung-chul, Kim Hyang-gi, Kang Han-na, and Lee Chae-min.
