The main character’s dilemma made me think about real-life choices, which I didn’t expect from a superhero drama. I liked seeing him balance helping others with personal survival. The show could have used tighter pacing, but the performances made up for it.

Cashero’s world is unique, but I felt the series didn’t fully explore its ideas. The powers-for-cost twist is smart, yet the story sometimes felt rushed or underdeveloped. I still liked the characters and their interactions.

I really liked the strange powers of the other characters. The lawyer who needs alcohol and the woman who gains strength from calories are funny ideas that make the world feel unique. I liked that Kang Sang-Ung is more focused on ordinary life goals than fame or heroics. That makes him feel relatable. Some parts were slow or a little boring, but the humor and clever premise kept me interested. I wish the story had explored the bigger conflict more, but it was still a fun and unusual take on the superhero genre.

I actually found the idea kind of clever. A superhero whose strength is tied to money is something I’ve never seen before. Watching Kang Sang-Ung struggle between helping people and keeping his finances safe felt strangely relatable. The mix of humor and action kept me interested, though some parts were a bit predictable. I liked how his girlfriend isn’t just a background character—she really makes him think about what matters. The other superpowered characters were fun, especially the lawyer who needs alcohol to power up. Some episodes dragged, but overall it was an entertaining way to look at heroism from a practical angle. I probably wouldn’t rewatch it, but it was worth seeing at least once.

I loved how realistic it felt in some ways. The idea that heroism comes at a literal financial cost is surprisingly relatable in today’s world. Kang Sang-Ung isn’t flashy or overpowered, he’s just trying to survive and do right by people. I also liked how his girlfriend balances the story. Some parts were silly, like the telekinesis and calorie thing, but it fits the quirky style. I wish they’d spent more time on his inner conflict and less on random action scenes. Even with its flaws, it’s refreshing to see a superhero who isn’t automatically strong or rich. It makes him feel human.

I didn’t like it as much as I hoped. The concept is cool, but the story is messy in parts. Some episodes felt slow, and others tried to do too much at once. I like Lee Jun-Ho as an actor, but even he couldn’t fully save the show. Kim Hye-Jun is great, though; her character is the most grounded and interesting. I enjoyed the strange superpowers of other characters—they’re weird but fun—but the main story doesn’t balance them well. Overall, I’d give it a solid six out of ten. It’s fine for casual watching but not much more.

The concept of a superhero who gets weaker as he spends money is clever, and it made me think about how real life is always a balance between helping others and taking care of yourself. Lee Joon-Ho does a good job of making Kang Sang-Ung feel relatable and human rather than over-the-top heroic. Some episodes felt rushed, but I liked the slower moments with Kim Min-Suk, where they explore what a stable life looks like. The supporting characters are fun too; the lawyer who needs to drink to gain power is ridiculous but entertaining. I wish the show had gone deeper into the consequences of using powers, like how debts or loss of savings might affect someone long term. Overall, it’s light, enjoyable, and gives a fresh twist on the usual superhero story.

Honestly, I struggled with the pacing. Some parts felt like they were dragging, especially in the middle episodes, and the CGI could have been better. But I can’t deny that the idea behind the story is interesting. It’s like a mix of a social commentary and superhero fantasy, which is rare. I liked that Sang-Ung wasn’t this perfect, overpowered hero, and he actually had to think about money like the rest of us. It’s funny to see him fight villains while counting coins in his pocket. The romance with Kim Min-Suk didn’t feel forced, and she had her own personality, which I appreciated. Even though it’s not a masterpiece, I would still watch a se

The support characters that had powers where they could predict the future or take a person back in time? Honestly, those are superpowers I would not want. I don't like messing with time.
